Additionally, those ever-shifting panels and little details make lifting it unnerving. Incidentally, it requires both arms to lift it up. It is also not something you want to move around too often. However, until then, it is so big that it is in the way wherever I put it. I imagine a coffee table with a glass top looking down onto this set.

At the moment, it takes up most of my build table. My only question now is where do I keep this monster on display. When finished, the set is a stunning display piece.

You learn a lot of new techniques, it keeps you on your toes, and you build for almost a full day. Sadly, with a ratio score of zero, the overall Minifigure rating is 50%.ĭespite my misgivings with the Minifigures and select design aspects, the Millennium Falcon is an entertaining build. I rate the character designs and accessories at 100%. If you look carefully around the ship, revolvers feature as piping here and there. Finally, the various rooms feature 10 printed computer panel pieces. I will also count the porgs (they have cute, printed faces) and BB-8 here. In terms of accessories, the characters come with four guns, one crossbow, and a helmet. Six of the seven feature leg printing as well. Additionally, all have either double-sided faces or special molding on the back of their head. With that said, the Minifigures you do get are nice. A set this big needs A LOT more Minifigures… It is a great build with a few Minifigures thrown in for good measure. Ultimately, the Millennium Falcon is not a set for Minifigure collectors. I did not even realize they were unique at first. However, they represent minor color variations over characters that come in other kits. Two characters appear only in this set: young Han and Leia. In terms of character uniqueness, the Millennium Falcon also flops. The ratio score is actually less than zero. My usual rating scale does not even work. The ratio is so bad here that it actually pulled my average higher. Truthfully, before doing this review, my average was better. The brick-to-fig ratio for the Millennium Falcon is 1077:1. I will not count buildable characters like the two porgs of mynock. If a kit contains an R2 unit, I normally count that as a character… but they at least have some articulation. If I am being generous, you also get BB-8. You get young and old Han Solo, Leia Organa, C-3PO, Chewbacca, Finn, and Rey. The Millennium Falcon includes a paltry seven minifigs. Betrayal at Cloud City had 21 Minifigures and it was 63% smaller. The Ewok Village was 74% smaller than this set yet came with 17 Minifigures. MINIFIGURES: 50%Ī set this size needs more Minifigures. You can fit four Minifigures in the UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) cockpit. The third image shows the ship’s nose with Empire Strikes Back variation on the left, and Force Awakens on the right… can you tell the difference? The ship can be set up as it was in The Empire Strikes Back or The Force Awakens. Central image shows Empire Strikes Back satellite. Left image showing the UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) with Force Awakens satellite. This set really is meant for admiration from afar once built.

Every time I touch the model, something moves, and I feel like it is about to break off.

However, I do not like how loose and shifty every piece is. To even try, you need more than one person. Granted, no one will flip this build over. If you turned the Millennium Falcon upside down, the entire roof would fall off.

Thirdly, I do not like how the roof panels sit on the frame. Underside of the UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) The challenge was a nice change from the smaller sets I often build. It had me stumped, confused, and incorrect more than once. I attached a few things incorrectly and did not notice until hours later when something else came into contact with them. I had to try and fix those mistakes later once the ship was even heavier. Consequently, panels are hard to attach, and I made a lot of mistakes. You cannot see what you are doing a lot of the time. That was particularly true when assembling the underside. At several points, I felt I needed an extra set of hands. Secondly, this ship is huge, and it gets huge fast. A completely unused space occupies a quarter of the ship interior.
