We’ll also do our best to compare this set with the earlier 10179 UCS Millennium Falcon from 2007. We expect that many of our readers will not be able to afford an $800 set, and we want to give you as much vicarious insight as possible into the end-to-end experience. That obviously makes it the most-expensive LEGO set ever released, and we’ll address the price later in the review.įair warning up front that this review will be as much about the subjective build experience and our Gestalt perspective on the completed model as it will be about details like parts, minifigs, and building techniques. The new UCS Millennium Falcon includes 7,541 pieces with 10 minifigs, and costs USD 799.99. TBB Senior Editor Chris Malloy and I have spent literally every spare moment since last Monday (a week and a half ago) slaving at the brick to bring you our hands-on review of the largest LEGO set ever released. But when the new 75192 Ultimate Collector’s Millennium Falcon lands with a resounding “thump!” on our doorstep two days before it’s available to LEGO VIP Program members, that’s a bit of a different story. We just spend a couple evenings building, photographing, and writing up the review - no big deal. I loved building the set and have enjoyed modifying it too but the process of doing the instructions in Studio was painfully hard on my old PC so I think I'll be sticking to much smaller and simpler projects from now on.When LEGO sends The Brothers Brick an early copy of a LEGO set to review, receiving it a few days before it’s widely available is generally not a problem. That’s in the instructions tab, you can easily identify the parts for each portion of the MOD and the instructions have a contents page too, so if all you want is the cockpit interior then its going to be a quick and easy process to get the parts ordered and the MOD built!īelow (left to right) are the original 75257 Falcon, the parts in this MOD that are either extra or repositioned and the complete modified set. The parts list on this page shows all pieces for the complete MOD but to give you some options I've included a downloadable Studio model of the ship. The whole MOD requires about 370 extra pieces and will cost around£/€/$50, some of the pieces like the 6x4 wedge plates are new and fairly expensive. This MOD is pretty simple, sticking to my method of mostly modifying the exterior rather than rebuilding, but I might give the rebuild a try one day :) I scratched my head for months about how to best improve the underside and have the upper and lower surfaces of the dish peak over the rim, but I think the most accurate solution would be a complete rebuild which is something I didn’t fancy doing. Lego's method for building Falcons relies on a frame underneath to provide strength to the whole build.
