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 all the details of the Falcon, including the exterior and interior details, play-features, minifigures, printed elements, stickered decorations and more.
The #75192 LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon will be on display (not for sale) in official LEGO stores beginning on September 1st, as part of the Star Wars Force Friday II promotion. And it will be available directly from LEGO beginning October 1st, 2017, with early access to LEGO VIP members starting on September 14th. Price are as follows: US $799.99 – CA $899.99 – DE 799.99€ – UK £649.99 – DK 6999.00 DKK (Euro pricing varies by country). The set will be listed under the LEGO Star Wars section of the Online LEGO Shop.
Just to give you a bit of comparison, the #10179 LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon from 2007 was 5,197 pieces and included 5 minifigures: Han Solo, Chewbacca, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia Organa. The size was 33″ long, 22″ wide and 8″ tall (84cm long x 56cm wide x 21cm tall). And the price was $499.99 (it has been selling on the secondary market for around $3,000 since it was retired). The #75192 LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon is 7,541 pieces (2,344 pieces more), which goes for more detailing on the outside and the new interior decor, and includes 4 classic crew minifigures and 3 Episode VII/VIII minifigures: Han Solo, Chewbacca, Princess Leia, C-3PO, older Han Solo, Rey and Finn. Plus BB-8, 2 buildable Porgs and a buildable Mynock. The size is the same as the original Falcon, and the price is $799.99. The price/piece ratio for both sets is right around 10 cents (old set 9.6 cents and new set 10.6 cents).
After years of rumors and speculations about the updated LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon, it’s great to finally have it confirmed and coming soon! I’m a little surprised that Luke and Lando are not included in the crew, but it is great so see minifigs from both the original and the new films. What I’m most impressed about is the updated greebling of the hull, and the interior details (the 2007 Falcon did not have an interior). All those new curved pieces and tiles really go to good use here! And it’s wonderful to see that you can swap out the radar dish and a couple of small details to signify the difference between the two versions of the falcon.
All in all, the new LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon appears to be a worthy update of the original. The set is definitely a major investment, but the price is actually excellent considering that inflation barely raised the price/piece ratio. And it is considerably cheaper than getting the 2007 Falcon on the secondary market. For hardcore LEGO Star Wars fans, this set is going to be a dream come true. If you live near a LEGO store, definitely check it out on display!
