The LEGO Ultimate Millennium Falcon

Some kids never grow up. I'm proud to count myself among them.

This LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector's Millennium Falcon model is definitely the largest set created at nearly three feet long when fully assembled and 5,000 pieces. The detail is incredible. It comes with five mini figures including Han Solo, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca, and Princess Leia Organa. Also included with the set is an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity, sealed within the product box itself.

At almost 3 feet (90cm) long, the LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon is the ultimate attention-getter for any Star Wars collection! When completed, this model is over 33-inches long, 22-inches wide, and eight-inches tall. Rotating top- and bottom-mounted quad-laser turrets, a radar dish that rotates and can be elevated, and a boarding ramp that can be extended are just some of the cool features included in this model. You can seat a crew of four mini-figures at the controls in the removable cockpit. And landing gear provides a stable base for model to stand on.


The LEGO Ultimate Millennium Falcon took over 50 hours to build with my sons. We laughed and reminisced the Star Wars scenes as we built. One of the funnest projects we've done together with the result being spectacular!

If you can afford the high price ticket, it is well worth every minute! Definitely on our Top Star Wars Toys for Christmas list.
