I got this beauty for Christmas 2 years ago. Greatest Lego set of all time, as well as the biggest and most detailed. Not to mention super heavy! It's well worth the price if you're a Star Wars fan and you want the best of the best. The UCS Millenium Falcon is the ultimate dream set to have, and anybody who owns it should consider themselves lucky. I know I do :)
I just got mine delivered from Amazon, straight from the LEGO factory itself for the original $800 price tag and it's probably going to take me an entire month to build it by myself.
I enjoyed this detailed review and comparison, thank you. I have the UCS, regular and Kessel run versions, so it looks great to have them all together, although I put the UCS set in a display coffee table instead of a stand......for now. The only thing I will disagree with you about are the mini figures. I don’t think making a comparison with a play set is the fair comparison, but rather it should be compared to other UCS sets. Typically, these sets are intended to be for display so they don’t come with many figures, in fact most of them come with no more than two figures. The only other exception is the Sandcrawler, but that’s a weird UCS set that really looks more like a play set. I just don’t think that only having 7 figures should be a criticism of this set, although not including Luke and Obi is strange if your going to have mini figures. Thanks again for posting this review.
In terms of the mini figures, someone asked on the Lego site “why isn’t R2D2 included, particularly as he was instrumental in repairing the hyperdrive”. The explanation from Lego was that it from the time in Episode V, when Luke and R2D2 where on Dagobah, thus also after Obe-wan had been killed by Vader. Hence why they weren’t included.
Disagree with Ep IV Luke and Old Obi-Wan (Owen Lars) being included, as the set is for Ep V and Ep VII. Should have had Lando, R2, and Luke (post-Vader duel) instead. But I certainly agree that the number of minifigs is still a little disappointing. A 3PO with a dual-molded leg would have been pretty nice also.
Just got mine a few days back after getting Luke’s landspeeder. Sort of got the Star Wars bug now. Can’t quite bring myself to crack the seals on it yet though 😂
Very recently ordered this, for the quite nice price of $690 - totally worth every penny, I am sure. According to the mail tracking, it should arrive on wednesday. I see several sick days coming up in my near future... Or perhaps not, as I probably need to work overtime to save up for the UCS Razor Crest. Oh well - first world problems.
Yeah, it’s worth it if you have the funds or financing. I’m still building mine. I’ve had to put mine on hold, because LEGO forgot to include enough 3x3 plates in one of the #10 bags. They should be here in a few days. Fun, fun build, though.
It's a piece of cake to move that on the Efferman stand. The only thing to worry about is not tilting it forward so the top panels fall off. If it wasn't for this stand I wouldn't have purchased the Lepin version of this set as it's too big sitting on its landing gear. Oh and pennies WERE spared, hence those darn stickers. I had to go to Steindrucker's to purchase the pre-printed pieces. It should also include R2-D2 and C-3PO.
Nice review. My issue with this set is how expensive it is compared to how fragile it is. As I was building mine I kept seeing ways I thought they were going to tighten things up like most sets do, but it never happened. This kit could easily be a more sturdy build with some minor re-engineering early in the build, I'm not about to break mine down to fix it.
Fragile? Which part of the build is fragile? Other than the panels that slide in with technic axles I don’t really see which part could be considered fragile
Great review. One of the most detailed I've seen. I can't wait for it to come back in stock as it's at the top of my wish list. Question for you, I know you can fit 4 mini figs in the cockpit but is there space to fit any mini figs in other parts of the ship? Looks like one or two may be able to fit around the Dejarik game set? Thanks!
You could argue that the reason this set doesnt have luke and obi wan is because the set is based off the empier strikes back and the force awakens because of the satilite.
I understand the minifigs are underwhelming but it doesn’t come with Luke or kenobi cause it’s for episode 5 and episode 7 which they aren’t in the falcon those episodes
Call me pedantic, but i allways got slightly triggered by Lucas' team designating this ship as a freighter...it just doesn't seem big enough....100 metric tonnes cargo...? Really?!
I feel like it’s a crucial part of a serious collector’s display, yet Han Solo and the Falcon are my least favorite character and ship in the OT. Don’t know what to do...
8:04 that’s uncle Owen
Whooooopppss
Bricksie oh well he still looks cool
I latterly thought the same
@@Bricksie Yea, you really made me think you were stretching for criticisms until I paid closer attention to what you were saying.

I got it a while ago. I 'm still building it and I love it.
Are you still building it?

There is no way I would have picked that thing up like that! 😂 I was freaking out lol
@7:08 The round sensor dish is printed, not a sticker. It is also quite expensive (at least $18.00) at Bricklink in Nov 2020.
It better darn be, I'm building it rn, I got it last week

7:58 He’s...he’s kidding right?
stirred, not shaken No I genuinely think he doesn’t have a Ben so he put in Owen Lars instead without realising 😂
Lego should have included a stand at that angle as an option in the box. Flat is just too huge for many people to easily display
6:53 erm actually ☝🤓This dish is from the Original Trilogy while the brick built is from the Sequel Trilogy...
There is only one trilogy.
you call the older dish the newer one and the new one the older one
He also started the video looking at a gap
Obviously not a Star Wars fan!

Thats becase every star wars legp fan has about 673 r2d2s
It will be worth it because the price will blow up when it retires! I would really really love this set but it’s so far out of my price range! 😏
Use a credit card. Take out a loan. Save up every penny. Whatever. Just don't wait. GET IT NOW WHILE YOU STILL CAN!
@@jediknight38 still not retired and no word it will be
I have been wanting this set for so long and if I do get it I will love it.

getting it later this year. it’ll be my first UCS set after collecting the 1:8 scale technic cars along with the race cars for six years

It’s the best lego set ever!!
Fantastic video fella 👍

You like that force awakens trailer music right?
I like everything having to do with Star Wars!
6:52 what are you talking about? That is the OLDER dish!
6:58 you call the older dish the newer one and the new one the older one
My bad. Well then, I prefer the newer brick built one!
Jajajaja
THAT IS NOT BEN KENOBI. IT IS UNCLE OWEN.

I so want this today! before it retires!!!
Is it worth it is up to you to decide, you buy it with your heart because you love it

Do you have any morals?

All the mini figures contained in the set can fit inside the ship apart from the minok which for obvious reasons would stay outside
Yes the brick built radar is nice but the dish personally is preferred because of the original trilogy
That was Uncle Owen not Obi Wan. Great vid though!
The first scene when he moved it made me nervous. I don't even have the set
FYI. This model is for DISPLAY ONLY. And you have to carry it with both hands as if you are carrying and infant.
my heart was racing too
You could argue that the reason this set doesnt have luke and obi wan is because the set is based off the empier strikes back and the force awakens because of the satilite.
One of the largest? It IS the largest LEGO set by piece count of all time! It likely won’t be surpassed for many years more
Cody Wright just checking in to say lego is already making a bigger one. Roman colosseum. Going to cost probably a grand.
@@shawnnissly2669 just checking in to say the Colosseum is actually cheaper than the Falcon
Wait till he finds out
Luke and Obi Wan are not included because this is the Empire Strikes Back version and they weren’t on the Falcon in the movie.
Didn’t watch. Just here to say yes it’s 1000% worth it. Put a light kit on it, you won’t regret it.
I don’t know if to get the 2019 version of the falcon or the ucs but 800 dollars is a lot tho......
I would advise to get the UCS if you can, it will hold it's value and it's an amazing build
Absolute bad color choice of the Efferman‘s stand! Are these spare parts or new ones? I orderd all pieces of the stand in black, and the pins in red.
It’s beautiful, but I would never spend that much money to own a LEGO set.
This is not spending but investment.
8:01 that is not Ben kenobi, that is uncle Owen
I bought it, no regrets for the 600 USD at all
900 dollars should get r2 as well
I just got mine for $650 cnd sealed free shipping. I can't complain
Yes easy question
You got the sensor dishes backwards, but I forgive you.
You said "Ben Kenobi" but if if I am not mistaken, that was the Owen Lars minifig.
I understand the minifigs are underwhelming but it doesn’t come with Luke or kenobi cause it’s for episode 5 and episode 7 which they aren’t in the falcon those episodes
Only_ exactly my point
Like its gonna retire anytime soon

Can you display without the panels?
The quick answer is yes, yes it is worth it
How much does it weigh
I have it and l have the atat walker
I can answer ....... yes
I bought mine yesterday
B-O will ship in 60days
Same dude. I said fuck it. I just hope the package isn't damaged or anything and or it somehow gets lost. God forbid.
