Usually LEGO retires sets after two or three years of production. The fact that this set is still on the market after five years shows that it is still selling incredibly well.
I'm glad, I'm planning to buy one eventually
I’m so happy about it not retiring yet, im planing on buying it within the next few months
@@slaya8065 did you ever buy it?
@@richyrich7260 did you buy it?
@@platypus1384 yah, I actually bought it within a few weeks because it was $100 dollars off, still haven’t finished it yet
Let's just clarify, your stock X bid may be €570, but they will pile on fees to the point where it approaches LEGOs retail price.
You forget to mention those fees include sales tax and even if it reaches lego retail price, that retail price has to tack on the sales tax and from there on Stock X still seems viable.
If so, additional to mention that not buying directly from LEGO means they don't get the profits to support the company, and you won't receive VIP Points of any free sets given away with certain price points. A set of this price will give probably $50-60 (approximate guess), with 1 or 2 free sets depending when bought, is easily $100 of value after purchase in the form of extra and free LEGO for another purchase
Stockx also has massive issues with authencity. Nike has already proved that with their shoes, so in this case, very high chance that you're getting a lepin instead of Lego.
Then you also won’t get points for purchasing the set either. Better off picking up during a points multiplier sale.
@@marvinsalmeron585not in the EU, tax is included in retail price
It feels very old and nostalgic, cause most of these LEGO boxes for the sets have a realistic background while the more recent ones (Titanic, The Pyramid of Giza, etc.) are pitch black. Another thing about the set is that the pieces. In person, the set looks very big with the of pieces in exterior view. The pieces inside is probably the most. I love this set for it's exterior look. It look complex at first but once you start to really see the potential for creativity, the set will feel like a whole spaceship being built and in progress.
The lego technic tow truck from 2021 has a background of a road
@@joenest7769 Cause it's 11+. The 18+/Creator Expert/Icons/Ideas sets have all gone downhill in terms of box art. They just have this dull black background with no effort put in
Such a weird coincidence that Jang and Tiago are both reviewing the UCS Falcon now after so many years
“Coincidence”
Funny how he decided to make this roughly a week after Jang did…
Because stockx marketing?
Having the two versions of a ship that is present in more than one trilogy is quite a good idea. If one day they release a Lars farm i hope they may include from each trilogies.
I am surprised both Jang and tiago are reviewing this set this year and at very near intervals (Jang on end May 2022 and this today mid June).
Anyways brickeconomy surprisingly listed this as "Retiring soon with a number of region already retired the set" though it was supposed to retire 2023. Anyways for those who are sleeping on this set, still, suggest to get it asap. My physical store had it listed as "Out of Stock"
Same for me, I'm surprised and I find this review (not the content) to be a little bit, "hey let's do the same thing". That's not correct according to my perspective.
Except Tiago comes across as more of a corporate shill. I like his "reviews" but you have to take what he says with a giant grain of salt.
Dann kommt Brickstory...
Half asleep Chris too
@@DDHRH-jd2sg I didn't judge the review content as already stated. Probably it's too hard for you to read and understand. Unfortunately I can't reply with image to help you a bit.
Tiago, i love ur videosand i love the way you do it. keep up the good work!
I got my hands on this in mid February, and I absolutely love it. It’s a centerpiece in my room and is totally awesome!
Such an impressive set! I'm not the biggest Star Wars fan, but this is truly epic. This is one set I'd love to build, but unfortunately I just have no way to properly display it...
Since you mentioned wanting a full interior, perhaps it would be a cool chance to check out the brickvault UCCS millenium falcon. It is a third party set but I think it would be a cool comparison and would provide the unique insight of an actual lego designer looking at 3rd party building techniques and designs.
Even though the Millennium Falcon is my favorite spaceship by far and I've even spent thousands of hours over the course of six years working on my own 1:70 scale model, I still think getting this UCS set wasn't such a smart idea since it's taking up about a fourth of my building table (and has been sitting there since 2017, since I don't have any shelves large enough to fit this hunk of junk.)
What everyone seems to forget is how this model doesn't just take up space when you build it, but actually every day and every night in the future.
The falcon isn't particularly high, but its footprint is insane.
The UCS AT-AT could probably be crammed into the darkest corner of a room, but unless you feel comfortable mounting the Falcon on a vertical display stand, it takes up enough real estate for Mr. Ditkovich to ask for rent.
Hang it flat against a wall. Duckbricks has a video about hanging his Lego sets. Looks quite good for this model if you ask me.
Minor note. The rings on the side are docking ports, not escape pods
Letss goooo Thank you Tiago. I was waiting a lot for this one ^^
Buy LEGO on Stock X, a new online marketplace for new and retired LEGO products, all sealed and verified for authenticity: stockx.com/lego?
People should be careful with stock X, they are literally a meme in the sneaker world for how bad their verification is and how many fakes and stuff they sell
How long did it take for you to build it?
How much does it weigh
@@nathanf1363I've purchased a lot of Lego sets from StockX--I've NEVER had a problem. The only issue I have is the validation stickers they place on the box. For current active sets, even with fees, taxes, shipment, I never paid more than list price, not even including tax.
hey man love your vids they are awesome keep on improving
Great video 👌 I'm currently in the process of finally building mine after owning it for a few months. Very enjoyable build. Definitely happy I invested in more sorting trays for this one!
Just got this set like a few weeks ago glad to see the review lol
Thanks allot my friend tiago for the site with those lego sets with awesome pricetags!
I absolutely love this set!
I have the new UCS set now, but I used to have first one before it got sold at a garage sale while I was in a different state... along with the Death Star II... those sets are my Holy grail now
The things you called escape pods are actually boarding hatches while the gap at the front is the escape pod
a big point of the original 10179 is that it was "swooshable" and you could hold it by the inside structure after removing the top center panel. (I have one of those, numbered :-)
I have the UCS Millennium Falcon, and I still feel slighted for not getting R2D2, Luke Skywalker, and Lando Calrissian, considering all three of them were in The Empire Strikes Back.
Nice video! Funny because I only got it last November after i got the UCS AT-AT! (It's simply a must-have, right?) Clearly I encountered the same organizational frustration, especially building after the most excellently organized AT-AT. I don't love the back end sagging under the drive unit, but it isn't a deal breaker. Otherwise building this set wasn't as tedious as I had anticipated. I actually enjoyed the "holes" quite a bit as well. And ultimately I love looking at it displayed. 🙌
I am not a big Star Wars fan, but honestly, I like this set! It's so insane big.
To display on a shelf, order the parts for the „Effermans‘s stand“ with the free instructions. I order them in black technic parts, and just 4 red special pins…
That was my favorite set in Lego Star Wars!
I love this set, I got mine last month
Coincidentally I also got this incredible set for my birthday in March and now finally I have enough time to build it lol
One of the best builds I've done - up there with the UCS AT-AT for sure! The final model size is impressive, to say the least, but the build experience was very well designed - not a "structure then panel" build like the UCS Star Destroyer.
Only really like the Star Destroyer out of those as the ATAT more so than the Falcon are nothing to hold your breath over i've seen them in person and the Star Destroyer is the only one that gets me the playscale version for the other two will do just fine but the Star Destroyers size lends well to UCS and has a more grander feel.
Thank you for recommending Stockx, it's always so difficult to find LEGO sets cheap. One of the few times I'm actually glad with a sponsor of a video on TH-cam!
Buy some shoes there
Great vid like commentary and open views...im tempted to build with kids😊
i have one and i love this set so much
I think the mynock is essential given the alternate Han and Leia faces.
Wow that's a BEAST of a model
Can’t wait to get this myself
I miss-cut manual might actually make it MORE valuable to collectors in the future.
I bet Lego's next move is to market the next generation with Full Interior! I'll get that one too!
Great video 👍🏽
Amazing video!!!!!!
Im glad the atat fixed the giant instruction booklets with 4 separate books
I appreciate reviews like this because I cannot afford these types of toys and it brings me joy to watch Legos.
Lego* there's no plural of it
I wish I could blow mass amounts of money on lego lol
@@Random_Eebs just save up for it
I agree - it should have a full interior. Spending money on that would have been worth it.
I bought the Lego tumbler Batmobile and it had some very similar issues to this. A Technic superstructure that you just kinda add to. I love the final result and how it looks on my shelf but my god it was the worst building experience I've ever had with a Lego set. Getting the wheels on still gives me nightmares...
I had the same experience with the Aston Martin DB 5. I had to take it apart 3 times and it still isn’t quite right. Also with a lot of Technic type build techniques and pieces. And I love Technic. But, yeah I know what you mean, a nightmare. Was it the new Tumbler or the old one
In my case the bags where not put at random but in matching build order. I bought it from Lego 2 years ago now but I don’t know any good reason why they would change that. Perhaps is it done manually and you had a set packed on a Friday 😅
great vid
Great review albeit a bit late...but appreciate your candor/style. Would be nice to see a video of your display area :)
1:26 Haha, I've got the 2003 version of the MF, I didn't even know about Star Wars back then.
Bro review all the there giant UCS and compare with each other 🔥🔥🔥
Also make similar comparison on all three 1:8 scale supercar
I love the way he says 'hunk of junk'
I have the smaller version and i love it
Is a stand included? To show it flying nearly vertical, so it doesn‘t need that much space (and it would look reeeeally cool)
Unfortunately, it isn't, but plenty of retailers have things that you can use
nope, but you can buy one in amazon, ebay or other sites
How do you feel this compares to the UCS Star Destroyer? Just got mine and was considering picking this one up - I absolutely love the size and the look of the ISD, but the details on this look incredible.
I have not built that one!
The figures need to be updated, like the 2008 death star got in the middle of its life. Give them dual mold legs, maybe a few new characters
5 years AGO Jesus time flies by
We're moving houses soon and I wish I had ANY idea how I'm going to move this thing. Can't bring myself to rebuild it...
I bought this the other day on a sale which is around £570. The original retailer price is still nearly £800 so it was a bargain. I haven't opend it yet and im debating if i should. If i open and build it will it lose value in years to come?
I really wanted to buy this set, but where i live (in Italy) i can't find it anywhere plus that costs a lot of money and even if i have it my father doesn't let me spend all that money for a lego set even if the money are mine. But there's another problem, the set is so big that i don't really know where to put this in my room
"If you have the place for it"
I don't have the place for it, but I hope I will have in the near future, until then it stays in the original brown lego box :(
Awesone review
We need a 100,000 piece set celebration for 100 years of play
Just bought ninjago city gardens off of stockx last night. Does anyone know how long it will take to get here?
You should do a review on th UCS AT AT!
I Just turned 18 and recieved a few thousand dollars from my parents and others and i‘m thinking ablut buying it (like a present for myself)
As long as you can pay for a car, rent, and food man, go for it
Still working on mine and boy is this set sooooo fragile. Pieces barely want to stay together and the pizza shaped fuselage is a pain to keep together too so be weary because this is a very frustrating one to get done.
Maybe u get some prerelease version. My bags were separated ok in boxes like in titanic
*Jang will remember this*
Another box bigger than the millennium falcon is the box for the UCS AT-AT
People hate on stock x but their authenticity process is legit, I’ve gotten a few sets from there and they are all good, if the box is messed up when it comes to their center they let you know to see if you still want it, the only thing they do is break the Lego seal to make sure everything is in the box, so if you want one for collecting with the original factory seal to not open, then no don’t use stock x.
seems like a great deal but the shipping bump the price way up
I spent an additional $160 just to get a 2' deep shelf to hold these wide ucs sets.
the things that you called escape pods are actually airlocks
will you be building the UCCS version?
There are third party kits available to build a vertical (well, nearly vertical) display stand. It works quite well and reduces the footprint of the model by a LOT. Mine is currently sitting next to my monitor on my computer desk, and my desk is not very large. It tips it up on it's side with the cockpit up top. The panels on the top that are just laying there still stay put just fine. After placing it where you want it you may have to fiddle with the panels, but mine are all in place and haven't moved or fallen off in the several months it's been sitting there.
I will say if you want to go this route you should definitely do what I did and purchase the stand before assembling the Falcon. It's much easier to attach when the build is about halfway done than after it's fully assembled. Once you have the bottom of the ship finished, but before you start putting the outer panels on the top, is the best point to attach the stand. Otherwise you need to remove all the panels that are designed to lift off the top, and the radar dish, and then very carefully flip it upside down and lay it on some pillows. Then you can attach the stand, and once it's on it makes a nice handle to move the ship with.
maybe you can make modifications of this set like the eurobricks did
Got the retired UCS star destroyer off stock x at the beginning of June. Didn’t get scammed
As much as I love Star Wars, I hope this is the last UCS falcon for a long while. As you say we’ve already had 2, a third isn’t necessary. What I’d rather see redone in UCS is the Imperial Shuttle and B-Wing. 2 amazing sets that could be even better redone.
They'll prioritise original trilogy sets for UCS for sure, but with the falcon probably being one of the best-selling sets of all time, I'm not sure they won't make a different, more expensive one that is inflation adjusted, has some more interior and maybe exclusive minifigures to excuse the much higher price. I expect about 5 years without a falcon before they bring it back, though.
What's the force awakens?
Impossible to build for me. My building desk is only 40 x 60 cm. And the price of the set.
Best set ever, I had to buy the China version 5 years ago because it was 1000 euro's plus. But now I'll try get a genuine one.
Hi Tiago,
I really like your Lego videos.
I would like to know how you got Lego to send you sets before release?
Me: wants the set Also me: knowing im too lazy too build all of that
I really wanna steal my cousins UCS Falcon after seeing this
man, rewatching this after Tiago broke it in the latest video
Stockx fees are so high though (and they only appear at checkout)
I just got mine, still haven’t built it though.
Very cool despite just being a casual Star Wars fan. But sadly I don't have room for it...
okay, hear me out though: the 2011 millennium falcon
this is such a great set, i wish it wasn't that expensive but hey, what am i expecting for a 7.5k piece set lol
Are stockx lego sets new
just got it Last week
personal Bucket-list Item
I have one but I’m scared to build it
i just bought it for my birthday
at 5:38, the back of the seat is set on the wrong side
With the organisation You are wrong Every Box got an stripe with the Falcon on it
I know it's impractical, but I immediately starting giggling seeing that massive instruction booklet flop out. 😂
Fun Fact: In German it's called "Der rasende Falke"
"rasen" can loosely be translated to "running very very fast"
:)
2017 can't have been 5 years ago. It doesn't feel right
I didn't have the means or the space, but I got it anyway. No regrets
A school district program that I’m doing is still using the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 but getting rid of them next year… probably to throw them away. My friend and I had so much fun making it, and called him “Hotmess” or “Hot Pocket” due to the large wires swinging all over the place. I added a bunch of antennas and added a long stick for the touch sensor thing too. This inspired me to start doing LEGO again but sadly my school is replacing them with the Sphero BOLT as a newer “robot” for the program. I will miss the “obsolete” EV3 that we had good memories with programming and such. :)
the absolute detail in this set is unlike anything ive ever seen on a lego set, even the titanic doesnt come remotely close, even with its extremely tedious to build interior, i have the video paused at 3:21 and the tiny pieces used like the revolver and binoculars which irl are centimetre sized pieces really show just how much effort went into designing it
