Just a quick reminder that the #75192 LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector’s Series Millennium Falcon is available for LEGO VIP members starting today, with regular release beginning on October 1st. If you would like to get the set early, and avoid the risk of backorders and delays, you have two weeks to get your hands on the set. 🙂
As we have discussed in the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon press-release (see here), the #75192 LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector’s Series Millennium Falcon is an updated version of the #10179 LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector’s Series Millennium Falcon from 2007. You can go back to the press-release article to see all the details, and below I will repeat some of the basic info and designer-video for your convenience.
Travel the LEGO galaxy in the ultimate Millennium Falcon! Welcome to the largest, most detailed LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon model we’ve ever created—in fact, with over 7,500 pieces it is the biggest LEGO model ever sold! This amazing LEGO interpretation of Han Solo’s unforgettable Corellian freighter has all the details that Star Wazrs fans of any age could wish for, including intricate exterior detailing, upper and lower quad laser cannons, landing legs, lowering boarding ramp and a 4-minifigure cockpit with detachable canopy. Remove individual hull plates to reveal the highly detailed main hold, rear compartment and gunnery station. This amazing model also features interchangeable sensor dishes and crew, so you decide whether to play out classic LEGO Star Wars adventures with Han, Leia, Chewbacca and C-3PO, or enter the world of Episode VII and VIII with older Han, Rey, Finn and BB-8! 7,541 pieces. Price: 799.99 – BUY HERE
In the designer-video below, LEGO Star Wars model designer Hans Burkhard Schlömer, and LEGO Star Wars graphic designer Madison (Maddy) O’Neil, will show you both the exterior and interior of the Falcon, as well as the play-features, minifigures, printed elements, stickered decorations and more. So much to see here!
It’s really heard to imagine how large this set is, unless you have a chance to see it in real life. If you are lucky enough to live near an official LEGO store, the #75192 LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon should be on display. Also, if you have ever seen in person the #10179 LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector’s Series Millennium Falcon released in 2007, the two sets are actually the same size.
And, if you are looking for display options for the set, one of the most popular and practical ways LEGO fans have been displaying the earlier version of the Falcon is to encase it in a glass-top coffee table. This allows the Falcon to be fully visible, and protected without taking up extra space. Below is a wonderful example of this arrangement by LEGO fan lysanderchau. He even includes building plans for the coffee table, in case you would like to build one yourself in this flickr album.
If you missed out on the previous version of the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon, this is your chance to add it to your collection. It really is the crown jewel of all LEGO Star Wars sets, and the dream of hardcore LEGO Star Wars fans. You can find it under the LEGO Star Wars section of the Online LEGO Shop.
