 Great Set at a great price Aug 14, 2011
By D. M. Thomas
This is a massive and amazing set. I'm a huge fan of the original trilogy and lego so have been wanting to get a Millennium Falcon set for several years. Unfortunately I found most of them either far to expensive, or simply not worth the asking price. This one finally hit the sweet spot for me. For $139.99 (or cheaper if you buy it on Amazon or find it on sale) you get six minifigures and a 1200+ piece model that is nearly perfect.
The first thing that I truly love is that the set is pretty much in scale so that you can place all the figures in familiar settings inside the ship. The roof of the Falcon is made up of folding panels that can be opened to reveal most of the interior of the ship. They've included the table where they played virtual chess, Luke's training droid, as well as control panels and beds. The cockpit is a separate section but still fits a figure (I've got Han on pilot duty naturally), and they even managed to work in the dual seat gunners pod and the hidden smugglers compartment.
As for the Minifigures, you get Han and Chewie of course, Luke and Ben Kenobi, and Leia and Darth Vader round things out. I would have liked to see R2-D2 and C-3PO included but that's just a nit pick. Figures come with light sabers for the Jedi and blasters for the rest along with Chewie's crossbow.
The entire set took me about three and a half hours to assemble, which considering I haven't put together even a small set in years seemed like a pretty quick job. The instructions are very easy to follow with the parts nicely separated out into various numbered bags which I assume is standard Lego practice now.
Highly recommend this one if you want a Lego Millennium Falcon. Price is great and the quality is outstanding.

Can't wait till Christmas!!! (a kid's review) Aug 18, 2011
By thepolarbearclan
"dad of boys"
Played with this at a friend's house. He got it for his birthday and took him more than 5 hours to build, and he wouldn't let us take it apart to rebuild! It is impressive! The details on the outside is just like the movie. The fold out panels open the reveal the inside where the minifigs can act out the movie scenes. The size of the Falcon is just right to fly around, not too heavy or bulky, and is actually quite sturdy compared to other Lego sets.
Absolutely stunning set. This is the one set that I really want this year. My parents say it is okay priced and we can get it for Christmas! Now only 4 months to go!

Surprising Surprise Sep 07, 2011
By Samantha Peluso Wright
I saw that Lego had some new Star Wars sets out and got really excited. I didn't have a gift for my husband's birthday that was two days away. Ordered it using Amazon Prime, and got it here the next day. I usually like to rack up points on my lego card, but couldn't wait. Plus I got it at a lower price.
So, the durability of this item when put together really surprised both my husband and myself. You can actually play with it and not worry about it falling apart, like some other sets. It's a great size and lots of neat areas for play. Definitely worth the price!

Doesn't get any better Aug 25, 2011
By Nick
This set is awesome. I'm a big fan of the original star wars and love lego star wars. The figures are really cool, you get all the oldies, except for the R2D2 and C3PO. I am not sure why they were excluded in this set. The build is a little redundant at times, but they tried to mix it up a little bit. The design is really sturdy. This is a great set if you're a fan of the original star wars. How could you not, I'm fairly new collector so this is the first Millennium Falcon that has come out, and I'm not disappointed. Get it

Best LEGO set that I own to date Sep 15, 2011
By LEGO Lover
This is an awesome buy for any Star Wars and LEGO lover. It was beyond worth the money for the time it takes to build and the fun experience that building it brings. There is a massive amount of detail in the interior and exterior of this LEGO product. I highly recommend this to anyone that loves both Star Wars and LEGOs.
