To celebrate the upcoming release of the new #75192 LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector’s Series Millennium Falcon, and to have a little fun, LEGO is running a new contest for teen and adult LEGO fans at their ReBrick website, called LEGO Star Wars Freighter Wars Contest! In this contest, participants are invited to build their own YT Corellian light freighter – also known as the make and model of the iconic Millennium Falcon! Build your version of the freighter with the iconic disk shape and you could win the #75192 LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon signed by the designer, and some other great prizes! Details below. 🙂
➡ LEGO STAR WARS CONTEST – OVERVIEW: Build your Star Wars YT Corellian Light Freighter in the Freighter Wars contest! What is a YT Corellian light freighter, you ask? You might recognize one very famous one, the Millennium Falcon! Han Solo says she’s “not much to look at” but the Millennium Falcon has worked its way into our hearts. Now it’s your chance to pay homage to the iconic freighter by building your own YT Corellian light freighter in any size or scale you wish. Remember, this isn’t the Millennium Falcon you’re building, just the same type of ship, so channel your own intergalactic smuggler and make some modifications!
