![]() 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.
