The resulting tome is 466 pages long, spanning 1,379 steps. That results in a lower overall page count than one might expect, though the earlier 10179 UCS Millennium Falcon’s instructions was also ring-bound. The book isn’t just heavy, it’s big - 16.5 inches wide by 11.4 inches tall (42 x 29 cm). It’s a ring-bound book that weighs more than 6.4 pounds (2.9 kg). The instruction booklet is hardly a book let. The back and sides of the box include more line art and photos of the play features, interior details, and minifigs. Here’s the box again with a 32×32 baseplate for scale. LEGO stores apparently provide special wheel attachments so customers don’t do themselves an injury hauling it away. Mere words like “whopping” and “monstrous” don’t really do justice until you’ve seen this box yourself in person. The interior boxes line up with a printed scene showing line art of the Falcon, along with lines from Han Solo about the Millennium Falcon. Underneath, there are 4 interior boxes that contain the set’s 17 sets of numbered bags. Inside, there’s a tray for the instructions, which themselves clocks in at a monstrous 6.4 pounds (2.9 kg). It’s about 21 inches wide, 18 inches tall, and 15 inches deep (53 x 46 x 38 cm). The Falcon’s box isn’t quite so … artisanal, but she’s got it where it counts, kid! The box clocks in at a whopping 28.8 pounds. I don’t find cardboard packaging particularly scintillating myself - I’m more about the little plastic bricks on the inside - and I only write those sections somewhat under duress, after much goading and nagging from Chris, on our readers’ behalf.īut there are certainly LEGO sets whose packaging blows me away, like the lovingly placed tires and small printed details in the 42056 Porsche 911 GT3 RS released last year. The obligatory “The box” section in our LEGO set reviews is generally intended for our readers who are interested in seeing what’s on the back of the box before they buy it, and of course to let everyone know whether it’s a disposable box or reusable collector’s box (like LEGO Architecture and earlier LEGO Ideas sets). ![]() ![]() 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. 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.
