LEGO Star Wars 2019 Millennium Falcon quick review + comparison & more! 75257

[@JANGBRiCKS]

Here's my affiliate link to the set on Amazon: amzn.to/2IpQUJW _(If you buy something I may get a tiny monetary kick-back that'll just help keep the channel going!)_ I definitely spent a good 30 seconds on the *inside of the set's cockpit* (not much to it as usual, spots for 2 figs plus a jumper for little D-O), but it seems that brief bit didn't record at all 😞. Sorry that's missing.

[@coraldiamond1922]

Josh B I was always going to get it anyway because I don’t have a grey version of the falcon. I only have the kessel run, still to build. It is a good set though and I agree. I will buy it at some point myself.

[@villelepoaho4105]

In my opinion, the only thing that makes this better than the 2015 one is the exhaust. Blue tiles on top of white makes it look really nice.

[@lssproductions3180]

This is probably the best non UCS Millennium Falcon we have gotten, though I'll likely not get it, since I already have the 2015 version

The only issue I have with this one is the repositioning of the smuggling compartment because that really compromised the level of detail that could be added to the back section of this new model, apart from that it’s perfect.

[@Ravedaze.]

I heavily modified my 2015 version and incorporated an escape module in between the mandible like the solo version ( there is a video to show you how to make this)and closed up all the gaps and made the side cargo doors functional.the only thing I kinda like is the blue exhaust , which I might modify .. or not

[@outsider238]

If I get this I'll wait for it to go on sale. They need to update the R2-D2 figure. He needs a removable middle leg and printing on the back. It's been the same for way too long.

[@willsupersaiyan5647]

Make a middle leg yourself using the stud hole in the bottom of R2’s body/torso

[@Wyattporter]

Right?! I was thinking that for the UCS Falcon it was a perfect opportunity for LEGO to make a premium version of R2 with a back print. But nope! So frustrating!

[@harambejoe3496]

I’ve been watching your reviews for some years now, and this new format is probably the best style you’ve ever done. It addressed the regular factoids of the set, but also answered the questions I would have liked to ask. Great job!

[@Wigglyferret]

Great review, Jang. I especially enjoyed the comparisons between the 2015 version, the one I own now, and this 2019 release. Afteryour video review analysis I've determined that the 2015 version is the far Superior version for myself. I prefer hyper detailed interiors versus a giant area of open-negative space. And that's the thing. The new one has a lot of open space... With absolutely nothing going on in that space. The shape of the new falcon overall is a tad better but not enough for me to re-buy the whole thing. Great review!

[@Cornponetheape]

I have the 2015 but the thing is due to the gaps it is easy to break off soooo

[@Wigglyferret]

@Sonymnms 52 I don't know... You can spend several hundred dollars really easily on BrickLink getting what you need to do just that. I learned that the hard way when I revamped the interior of the old red and gray Jedi cruiser from knights of the old republic. That was epically expensive

[@haytherfilms]

I don’t enjoy the increasing use of stickers over printed bricks...

[@johnnations5932]

Thank you! I despise stickers. they hurt the flexibility of re-use, they get aged and scuffed, they are a pain to put on right, and they create paper waste. No more stickers!

[@BoolioTM]

@@johnnations5932 you do realize that if every piece was printed then the prices would sky rocket, stickers as much as I hate them, they keep the cost down

[@coraldiamond1922]

John Nations to be honest most paper can be recycled depending on where you live? If you don’t live in an area that it can be then that sucks but I think the far bigger issue is the plastic badges. At least Lego could offer ziplock bags or something.

[@muisverriet]

@@johnnations5932 Stickers can be taken off pieces and then the piece can be reused. You can't do that with printed pieces.

[@Joseph-ed6ri]

cahsten agreed but the price would go up it would probably bring the falcon up at least 20-30

[@dzikuz991]

people complaining about Lego making ANOTHER Falcon... me looking back at those gaps from 2015, THANK GOD we got another Falcon, sure it's not perfect but I'm happy with what they've done

[@johntowner1893]

I agree that it is an improvement in all the ways which you pointed out, however I am still not happy with these 3-4 points, and I don’t think it is spot on enough for me to want to own. 1) the lack of details and greebs, could easily help dissolve those colour accents into the grey, and add depth. 2) mandible angles. Still a massive improvement, however I feel they are still a stud or two off with the mandibles slightly too short and wide. Also mandible holes should be detailed instead of empty. This could still be done while allowing for play features? 3) the raised centre part above engine bank.

[@leanmeangreenbeanmachine3347]

John Towner luckily, that can be added with the most minimal of LEGO collections.

[@leanmeangreenbeanmachine3347]

Except for the mandibles, there’s really nothing to do about that.

[@KingofMilktea]

Just had this built, loved this falcon soooo much! The old ones always put me off with the gaps, where you can see the insides very easily. This one at least covers the top very well. Keep up the good work!

[@dusky193]

Didn't think I would watch the whole thing, but I did. Your reviews are that captivating. Keep up the great work Jang.

[@DarthLego46]

Last Millennium Falcon I got was the Empire Strikes Back one that released right when they switched over to skin tones for licensed minifigures, and for a long time, all that followed in this scale used the same basic pizza-slice build. I just picked up this new one and the recently discounted Kessel Run version because both seem to provide a significantly new experience compared to what we were getting. Can't wait for them to arrive.

[@KhangNguyenMacCo]

My god it’s been well over 3 years since i watch your videos , it’s so entertaining like it used to be , great to see you keep it going !

[@aviationclub2637]

I really wish a more complex model in between the standard Lego version and the UCS version. Something that is bigger and better but not as big and expensive as the UCS version.

[@aviationclub2637]

This set cost 160€ in germany so I was rhinking of a set thats maybe 250€.

[@xyoshi1083]

About the slanted astromech head, the droid in my UCS Y-wing also has the slant

[@coraldiamond1922]

XYoshi 10 it sucks in normal sets but in ucs sets it’s even worse because for them you pay even more money.

[@Wahlrusberg]

I'm glad I held off on the 2015 and Kessel Run ones because this is just another level

[@carloandreagirotti8233]

I like the fact that there isn't junk around it, without figs it looks empty but if you act a battle in it will look amazing!

[@Mark-OutWest]

I'd like to see a printed dish and the mandibles to be say 3 studs longer. The length on the TFA set is better. Great review as always! You do quality work. You're definitely a channel I seek out.

[@pseudonymousbeing987]

But I'm pretty sure the new mandibles length is more accurate to the movies.

[@pauleypockets4734]

If they were longer it would have more playability but it would look really goofy and non movie accurate

[@gungus935]

Hey guys! I picked this set up yesterday and it is absolutely great! Ive already modified mine to have a custom escape pod added in between the 2 front wings similar to the solo look.

[@blinnis81]

Amazing review! Thanks for addressing the comments from the previous video and providing so many detailed feedbacks regarding shape, size and accuracy

Definitely going to get this. A few minor mods: tidy up the underside, add a few details to the interior (walls, piping, etc), and add a little dohickey to stop those top plates flapping open when I flip it over, and it'll be perfect.

[@aaronmosebach5441]

I think it will mostly be possible, exept for some newer parts and the figures of course. Though you probably would have to order some hinge parts off bricklink or something if you want to replicate the panel design

[@yurykeyser7622]

i dont know if anyone else has this issue with their falcon, but if you seat minifigs on any of the three seats under the radar dish, you cant close that panel. this can be fixed by moving the backs of the seats to have the figures sort of laying down just enough to close the panel

[@johnathanhamilton4241]

The gaps didn’t feel or look that bad until the new one came out. Now I have the overwhelming urge to hide my old one... I actually am not a fan of the cockpit section change. The shift back. It doesn’t look right. I feel the ‘winglet’ bits aren’t quite right. Pushed back too far and too wide. But... I have to admit it’s the superior falcon. Looks like I’m getting this one. This pushes back my acquisition of the UCS one tho... lol I hope the next iteration fixes the pushed back cockpit and does some minor work on the winglet iterations. Then it will be pretty incredible.

Can you make a tutorial on how to improve on the previous Falcon? In order for it to be opened with the new method

[@putitawo74]

I'll post the same thoughts I shared on another review. The biggest drawbacks on this set for me are: 1) Minifig selection - I have zero interest in these minifigs. If they had made this an RotJ set with Lando and Nien Nunb, then that could have been interesting. 2)Mix of light and dark gray hull pieces - the Falcon is pretty uniform in color; having large sections in a darker color just does not look right. Maybe I could pick up a used one on Ebay without minifigs for a decent price, and swap out the dark gray pieces, but that would still be pricey and a bit of work to fix what should have been done right in the first place.

[@kailove3423]
