Actually, this is arguably a more reasonable size and price point for most people.
Compared to its bigger siblings, the Lego Millennium Falcon (75375) may not look like much.
But, to quote Han Solo, she’s got it where it counts.
Not quite, but almost.
Plus, you simply won’t care once it’s finished and on your shelf.
To begin with, it’s smaller a lot smaller.
Secondly, it’s less expensive than either of the existing models.
In fact, you’re saving between $85 / 75 and $765 / 660 respectively.
you’ve got the option to’t do much better.
It’s worth noting that this is a display piece, too.
It can be fiddly in places, though.
The exhaust is a great example.
How does this kit compare to its bigger counterparts?
It has 921 pieces, while the UCS boasts 7,541 and the Rise of Skywalker version contains 1,353.
It’s also just 9.5 inches long, whereas the UCS is a whopping 33 inches.
Meanwhile, the Rise of Skywalker equivalent is 17 inches long.
That means you’ve got to play spot the difference between diagrams.
However, these are niggles in what is otherwise a very pleasant experience.
Oh, and by the way?
There are no stickers in sight.
This kit uses printed-on designs whenever necessary.
(I love theLego Tantive IVmidi-ship, but it’s a good example if you ask me.)
This Lego Millennium Falcon, though?
It isn’t suffering from that in the slightest.
It’s the same approach that madeLego Boarding the Tantive IVso effective.
The insides show an attention to detail only thebest Lego setslay claim to as well.
The one compromise I wasn’t keen on can be found near the cockpit.
It felt as if I’d missed a bit, or put something on wrong.
It doesn’t detract from the final look once everything is said and done, though.
I’d say it’ll be the gold standard going forward.
It’s a classy look, and one that reinforces that this is a display piece not a toy.
Should you buy the Lego Millennium Falcon (75375)?
There have been many Lego Millennium Falcon sets before this one, but it does the legacy justice.
There are few signs of compromise in its design, either.
I’m a little disappointed it didn’t come with at least one minifigure, either.
But on the whole, this is a fantastic kit that, yes has it where it counts.
It doesn’t compromise on quality either, in spite of that smaller size.
It still does the ship justice without needing a room all to itself.
