[@swerthers884]

It's a wonderful set, but is so massive! My wife bought it for me for my birthday a couple of years ago, and was a fantastic build! I had to take it apart and store it as we have no space to display it and have had a baby. When he is old enough, I will get it out again and we will build it together!

[@JoeFF85]

The conversation you had with yourself about ‘why have I never appreciated the Falcon before this.’ Is a conversation I had with myself when I saw the Solo version with the gorgeous blue and white paneling. That was the first time I ever saw the Falcon and thought ‘I need one of those.’

[@thisisthisis542]

I think that version of the ship (and the set itself) are extremely underrated. I’ve never been a huge fan of the ugly ship from the OT (they literally spent the entire first movie calling it hideous) but that sleek, new paint job, escape pod in the prongs, all so beautiful

[@kaizokuAUTO]

I still think that's the best Lego falcon. Looks absolutely gorgeous IRL and in universe

[@ltb1345]

[@brunokagawa6287]

What a ride this must have been! Don't think I will ever own a UCS Millennium Falcon (or any UCS set for that matter) but appreciate the review nonetheless. No Lego set feels right until Jang reviews it.

[@supremeleadermatt8733]

Wow, I'm glad you did the review because this is the first time I've seen anything about the potential sagging. Most other reviews have been basically all praise but this is the most honest review of the set I've seen. Thanks for doing this Jang, even if it's almost a half decade late!

[@Crzypengu]

Yeah thats something I'm a bit worried about my Falcon. The front mandibles feel like they have sagged a bit. I think some support underneath it can go a long way in preventing any issues.

[@troodon1096]

It seems reasonably stable when it's displayed as intended, but it's definitely something you don't want to move around a lot.

[@billhoult3262]

@@Crzypengu try crunching the plates back together every few months as well, the actual bricks aren't bending, they're just pulling apart.

[@DigitalVanquish]

It truly is an amazing set. As a word of warning, the mandibles do sag a little bit. But it's due to plates loosening, as a result of weight, not the bars bending. So, I just pop the front-mid section off, and press the plates back into place, and squeeze the mandibles, every so often. I have it displayed on all feet - parallel to the table - for reference.

[@lukerope1906]

Fun Fact: This Falcon is not based on any version seen the films. So there were two main filming models in the OT. A 5 foot model and a 32 inch model. They are quite different from each other And for a few added shots for the Special Editions a CGI model was made based mainly of the 32 inch model with a few details from the 5 foot model. There's an additional version of this CGI model that was not used in the film that used in promo photos and was used in many of the refrence book instead. It's version that LEGO used based this on. It has one big detail that does not exsit on any other versions. And that is that dark grey swath on the left mandible. That's why there is those extra bits for the mandibles. The Sequel Falcon is based on the 5 foot model, so those extra bits are replicating look of the 5 foot model. Since that Specail Edition Falcon was largely based on the 32 inch model, particularly the front.

[@thercf16guy35]

I love mine so much. Bought it August 2021 after saving for months at my first job and now its vertically displayed in an acrylic display case. Probably my most prized possession at this point bc i never dreamed I'd ever get it

A review forty-plus hours in the making. This is a day that will be long remembered.

It makes you feel like a little kid again, and that’s the magic of LEGO - congrats JANG!

I can't believe staying off watching ANY UCS Falcon reviews has finally paid off all these years later. :D Great work as always, Jang!

[@jaimecortesaocasimiro8698]

Long have we waited

[@xeron_7433]

An absolute monolithic set, though I'm not much of a Star Wars fan I can still appreciate this sets sheer scale and level of detail. Glad to have been able to catch the stream when this was being built and I'm a bit sad to know you have to take it apart on stream too. Great review as always, Jang!

[@MajDuty]

I know you made your promise but I see your desire to want to keep it and I for one will have zero problem with you breaking any promise to dismantle it. You've given us enough we can give that back to you

[@davidfisher5507]

The first and only review I'll watch on the UCS Falcon. I'll never own it or build it but I thoroughly enjoyed watching your review and listening to your enthusiasm for it. Thank you for finally finding the space and time for the ultimate review of the ultimate set.

[@Masonio]

Owning one of these is a dream of mine. It's just so beautiful.

[@thebaker525]

That sticker tunnel detail, I don’t know why, but it feels like such an older System thing, something you’d see on a set from 1999. I really like it.

[@matthewmizushima8420]

Dude! Jang we miss you in the RC world. I hope all is well with you. You're still one of my favorites from the OG RC on KZbin days.

[@ReneWeiss]

My deepest respect! First for the pain of the price and for the pain to build this without a break 👍💪

[@NewEnglandIV]

I have the exact same feelings as you on the Falcon compared to others like the AT-AT and capital ships. But the potential retirement date and iconic nature of this set ultimately made me finally get it. I can safely say I have no regrets :)

[@timewarpdrive77]

So torn on this one.. I technically have the disposable capital... But 800 bucks..OI!

[@repapeti98]

I've been waiting for this review. Haven't watched any other KZbinrs' videos just so I can experience it from the best.

[@brokencigarette3017]

I can't believe you did this all in one sitting. I checked in from time to time, going to sleep, checking the next day, and you were still going, lol. You're crazy, man.

[@williamegan6756]

Nice! Despite everything that’s come after, the UCS Millennium Falcon still remains the Holy Grail of Star Wars Lego sets, at least for me. Well done Jang, on your marathon building session! The model itself looks amazing, and well worth the $800. 👍

[@angelaprettybagel]

you should really do a podcast. i know it wouldn’t work that well because your content revolves around LEGO, which is a very visual toy, but your voice is so soothing and relaxing. it’s really reminiscent of Bob Ross. anyways, loved the review, glad you got around to this set!

I really wish this had a complete interior after seeing the AT AT

[@Pattamatt1998]

Me too, that was definitely my biggest complaint. The exterior is gorgeous, but I've always been a sucker for detailed interiors too and the lack of interior space was definitely a let down.

[@rabensaga]

I got mine for 600 € when Smith Toys had a discount on Lego SW sets, which is absolutely fair for this massive set. Was a blast to build and i do not regret getting it. Mine is displayed on a vertical stand though, takes up way less space like that and in my opinion also improves the viewing angle :)

[@Benjamin0119]

Pretty epic and rewarding to see you ended up getting the UCS Falcon after all, Jang! And you gave us the thorough and detailed review as always so we can appreciate all the crazy details! Thanks! Once again your reviews help us vicariously own the set, for those of us who might not have the money or space for it.👍 A very cool set for sure. The size definitely helps with scale, proportions, and detail. It's very appreciated that the designers have emulated the actual model, and didn't do just random greebling.

[@txag007]

Great review Jang! I still have mine in the box. It maybe time to finally build it.

[@avilionstars]

Love retrospective reviews! Esp in context of newer build techniques, designs, etc. Keep it up!!

[@ActivePuck]

Thank you for taking the time to thoroughly review this set. I’ve had this on my wish list for years but sadly I absolutely do not have the room to display it. You’re right in that the cost is less of a factor than the ability to display it properly and safely. In the meantime I’ll make do with Technic sets and smaller system sets. :)

[@elimendelson2713]

The review I've been waiting for for years. Amazing 👏

[@LONDONBRIDGEBRICKS]

This set puts the ultimate in UCS. It's as close to a perfect Lego set as I've seen, but I'd never have space for something like this.

[@baybricks4570]

I’ve been waiting years for this video!!

[@legomattie3295]

A brand new review of a somewhat older set....and I like it. That smile says enough :D. I have put this on a custom made stand out of tech-Lego. Quite an expensive MOC you can find on rebrickable, but the instructions were free. Which looks perfect. I should have watched the youtube instructions though, how to careful place theFalcon on that stand..... To make a long story short: I am one of the few people who has build the same Falcon twice.

[@h2owl205]

Yes! So glad you got around to buying and reviewing this. I’ve been dying to hear your thoughts since it first released

[@outsider238]

Honestly, if you want to keep it, keep it! I think everyone would understand your reasons for changing your mind. It's not a set you want to rebuild in the future. I dismantled my Star Destroyer because I needed the room but I was never that pleased with it as the Millennium Falcon which I will never take apart because it looks so much better and the build experience was far more interesting. Keep the Millennium Falcon. We can see in your face how much you love it and how much it would pain you to dismantle it. This set was a long time coming for you and you should be able to enjoy it everyday you look at it.

[@AbsolutelyJason]

I just bought this. It's a little nerve-wracking given the price and space requirements. Great review! Really appreciate it!

[@arghjayem]

06:06 I agree Jang, I’m a big Star Wars fan…..but I have never understood why people love the falcon so much. It’s not the nicest of ships design wise plus it’s basically a big lorry. I mean that what it essentially functions as within the SW universe, it’s for hauling cargo illegal or otherwise from one place to another with room for the crew to sleep. The best Star Wars vehicle IMHO? The B wing, with the Slave 1 being a close second. They’re ships that are interesting and actually make a lot of sense spaceship design wise what with sections of each ship moving relative to the rest of the ship, I mean there is no up or down in space so why limit a ship to that idea? That said I have now got the UCS falcon just because it’s easier and cheaper than finding a UCS B Wing….

[@updatedicons1869]

It’s a good thing I’ve never really displayed mine on all landing gear I keep reading comments on the mandables sagging i haven’t seen that issue in mine I’ve had it on the efferman stand since it was available to build it good thing too

[@jaimecamarena9372]

Jang, you made me want this and thanks to you I will make it happen. Much appreciated for tremendously detailed review. You are King!

[@cloudcleaver23]

Unless you have a huge amount of floor space, no kids or pets, and a sufficiently glorious coffee table to dedicate to this, I think anyone buying it should budget an extra $50-$80 for an Efferman stand parted out on Bricklink. Unlike the Gunship or the Star Destroyer, this UCS set is so flat that it CAN be displayed at near-vertical on top of a short bookshelf up against a wall. It not only takes up less space, but actually showcases more of the ship at a more eye-friendly angle.

[@oathbound_a8961]

Lego should feature you on their store page! Not only do you deserve it but you have caused my bank account a lot of hastle!

[@leeprice2849]

Great review. Other than finding room to display this set the biggest problems I have with it is the lack of interior spaces and the poor MiniFigure selection. For an Ultimate set at this price it should have more interior spaces and everyone at least from the Original Trilogy who was ever onboard. No Lando?

[@NingjaTerdo]

I loved the review! Thanks for giving us this, Jang

[@aphrenedge2262]

I'm not even a big star wars fan and I still love this set. It's easily top 5 or higher along side sets like the Bugatti and Welcome to Apocalypseburg/Ninjago city sets.

[@ray5357]

Literally just built this set the other week. I love it so much

[@lukelandis3090]

The only set I would want more than this one is a hypothetical UCS Batcave. That said, I’ll probably settle for the next non-UCS version, whenever that comes out. Edit: After watching the whole review, minus Jang’s summary, I gotta say, this monster is a lot less impressive now that I know how it’s put together. Not a hard pass, but still a pass from me.

[@biIIybob858]

ive been waiting for this video for so long

[@ZakkPL1]

Jang - the true MVP of Lego reviews 🔥🔥🔥

[@fortyeth]

Hi Jang, I believe the design of the Falcon was going to be the model of the Tantive IV originally but Lucas thought it looked too much like another ship seen in a UK Gerry Anderson show Space 1999. However during a production meeting lunch Lucas and a friend of his were in a cafe and the friend had ordered a hamburger with pickles. Long story short his friend took a bite out of the burger then put it back on the plate causing a pickle to roll over next to it. The resulting shape caught Lucas' eye and he saw the outline for the Falcon! Good job LEGO designers don't create their designs this way. Congrats on a fantastic ship.

[@RyansEggyRice]

This thing took me 4/5 days over Christmas, about 32 hours total, I can’t imagine one sitting. That being said, I managed to save £100 on mine and pay it off over 6 months, I couldn’t pass that deal up.

[@Zuzoz]

OMG, the sticker on the UCS plate is insanely precise! And it was applied simply by hand, no special technique (although for the second try only :) ).

[@samlowther9487]

I'd highly recommend the wickedbricks display stand for this set. I have one myself and there products are just the highest of quality. It was a little difficult to mount it at that angle but once it's on there, boy does it look good on display!

[@austinbethel2137]

Could you imagine him picking it up at 0:14 and it falling at the beginning of the video like, "All 7,541 pieces were assemb-" *CRASH*

[@hazeldavis3176]

I don't think I'll ever own this or really want to, but you've got to admire the build of it. It's such a well done lego set. One of the best.

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

As late as this review is, definitely well worth the wait. A very impressive model, and display piece worthy of any living room coffee table if you don't have the space elsewhere. The 89 Batmobile I think is the closest I'll ever come to owning any display piece of this sheer scale/size and I think that's fine.

[@DirtaDawg420]

28:19 watching you pick up the whole model pretty easily really reminded of this exact point. The Star Destroyer was just so fragile. I’m glad to hear they’ve improved since then.

[@alexgermane2211]

I got this set for Christmas for 650 dollars very happy with the set

[@wallywest2360]

The (mostly) vertical stands you can buy for this are totally worth it IMO. I have mine sitting next to my monitor on my computer desk. It's not an especially large desk either. The mandibles stick out some, but with no kids or pets in that room I'm not worried about it. If you plan to go that route, it's a good idea to get the stand with the Falcon. Attaching the stand to the completed model is tricky. Attaching it when it's like half built, before you start putting the upper panels on, super easy. The stand tips it up at a pretty steep angle, and a lot of the upper body panels are held on by gravity, but I have not had any of them fall off. I don't think a 100% vertical wall mount would work though, unless you modified the mounting system for the panels to be more secure.

[@skyborne80]

The little point defence blaster in the bottom had to be put into this model and they did. It's incredibly simple, but it's incredibly awesome!

[@ICWVMusician]

I have been waiting to see you build and review this! I have it sitting sealed in box waiting for me to find the time to build. No, I will not build in one sitting.

Having seen the Falcon in the LEGO store when I picked up my UCS Y-Wing four years ago, yes: it is as big as it is. It’s massive, definitely awesome to look at… but not a set that I would personally pick up. I can only appreciate the care in the attention to detail.

[@Angry_Squirrel555]

It’s better because it’s the Millennium Falcon. There were so many scenes shot in the ship throughout the last six movies that it’s almost as we’ve all flown in it. There’s a great deal of nostalgia with this ship (especially in the original trilogy) even though it’s kind of like an old station wagon, but it’s so cool.
