Fun build worth customization
Chewy over the years has seen the falcon through many adventures. In his spare time he wanted to restore the once jettisoned escape hatch. The red markings from the clone wars are visible on this model and keeping with the style Chewbacca has blended function and form beautifully. C3-P0 agreed to take the newly finished pod for a test while on planet d.r.e.s.s.e.r.

I love it
I grew up with the original trilogy and always loved the Millennium Falcon. This one was perfect size for my display area and at a wonderful price point. I enjoy some of the little details in the design.
There are some areas that figures cannot stand up while everything is closed. There is a good amount of storage space inside.

Good build
If I could select 4.8 stars, I would. It was a great build and really fun and a great outcome, but I did have a few issues, number one, I had a small issue with the instructions in the cockpit area where the angle made it hard to attach the cockpit, but I eventually got around it. My second issue is the front left panel (the one closest to the cockpit) is not sturdy at all and falls off very easily and is almost impossible to put back onto the build. But otherwise, this build is very great for the price and I was very satisfied

Wonderful detail, very time consuming it was
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It took my daughter almost 8 hours to assemble this LEGO set. The instructions were fantastic and very easy to understand. The level of detail to the ship in the movie is mind blowing! This looks wonderful on display in her room as she is a huge Star Wars fan. She was very pleased with the results and loved constructing the Millennium Falcon. The miniature characters were her favorite part.

My opinion on this set
Oh man where to begin. This set was amazing to build. The amount of room in the build is amazing. The characters you get are awesome. I have been wanting this set for so long and I finally got this past Christmas and I was so excited. I had gotten the mini version of the Millennium Falcon and with it came Han Solo. I HIGHLY recommend this set to anyone interested in Star Wars and this is definitely a great addition to your collection.

Absolute Classic
The Falcon is the most refined falcon to date were the others laced in paneling to cover the gaps this finally solves the problem. This set looks good for display next to the 2011 and 2016 falcons and has amerce amount of play abilities. The fig selection is good with the Lando Calrison taking the cake always nice to see him in Lego. The value is not bad not ideal but still looks good no mater what. If you love the original trilogy this is a must pick up it my be from the sequel trilogy but is the closest to the originals at a good price.
Love this set even with the Missing Pieces was a joy to build.

Millennium Falcon
This build was definitely a time consuming experience. Having said that the outcome was well worth it. The look and feel to the ship is nice. It does lack some security in regard to some pieces being loose. I would say this is a build more for collectors then children because it seems to be prone to pieces falling off. The directions and the difficulty of the build are not too hard for children though. On a shelf its definitely an eye catcher. The value is fair. You'll definitely get your moneys worth based on build time alone. Time spent building was just about 10 hrs give or take an hr.

Perfect version of the falcon
I'm glad you finally figured out a way to minimize the gaps of the ship from the top and because of that, the ship isn't as thick as the Force Awakens and Solo versions. The only small complaint I kind of have is the minifigures. Sure you get a good amount of them but I feel like you should've added C-3PO and Jannah. Other than that, it feels very sturdy and while it took me a while to build, I could say I had a good time building this as I suffered no hiccups while building this set. Another great large Lego set that I say is the best looking version of the legendary Millennium Falcon!

Excellent model for careful play
I have read several reviews about the playability of this model, and I would have to agree with many of them. First of all the overall size millennium falcon at over 18 inches long and the sheer bulkiness are not easy to grasp, especially by younger hands.
If a younger person picks it up and wants to fly it around, they might experience problems and a catastrophic drop.
However, where this model excels in play is when it is used in imagination, as having landed on a planet or space station. Then the entire roof opens up and allows access to the inside. Where are you can move around all the characters. There is a hollow chess board, or a wookie can challenge another crewmate and rip off their arms , If you so choose.
There is a room for resting or healing. Another area for coffee or refreshments, and the well-equipped fire control system for automated shooting of the upper and lower turrets
If there was any part of the model, that I would consider, as being delicate, it would be the rotating turrets on the top and the bottom, and I will consider the possibility of having to use some “KRAGLE“ to permanently hold this area together to enhance play .
One wonderful area of this model is the huge open floor space where you to design your own furniture and place it anywhere you want or add additional characters onto your model.
If you look at my photos, you will notice that I have moved the hollow chess away from the wall because the players cannot sit or stand in the configurations that l Lego presented in the manual. But moving the chairs to the other side of the table, allows the players (Minifigs) to sit or stand and covers to still close.
The model rest beautifully anywhere for display or demonstration, and I would highly recommend it. I had no missing parts of pieces as others have complained, and as I have had with other sets in the past, this one was perfect all the way around.

I've made a lot of special modifications myself.
My first Falcon! I'd always wanted one and was secretly eyeing the really big one (not too sure how I'd explain it to my wife, though. "I thought it was the small one, honest!") Anyway, it didn't have actual corridors, which really disappointed me, and the cockpit wasn't connected to the ship via a little hallway or anything, so I figured I might as well just get this one and protect my wallet/marriage. This was towards the beginning of my pandemic building journey so I wasn't too used to the bigger sets yet and this one took me a while. I look forward to building it again next year, though, I got waaaay too many Star Wars sets and will have them all out for May 4th for no good reason other than to just look at them and smile. Like the review title said, I made a few modifications and added some stuff to the set and it all turned out really quite beautiful. I wish the cockpit connected with the ship somehow, maybe I'll try to figure that out when I build it again. Even if I don't make it happen, this set is still terrific. PUNCH IT, CHEWIE!

Amazing set!
This set was a Christmas gift, and we are so glad we have it! We built this one at the same time as the Kessel Run Millennium Falcon and both sets are great sets!
Pros: 1. The gap issues from previous versions of the Millennium Falcon have been fixed. 2. The interior play area is easy to access, and it is roomy. 3. The attention to detail is amazing! 4. It includes the Dejarik (holochess) game. 5. The minifigure selection is nice. 6. It is a nice display piece.
Cons: There really aren't very many cons to this set. It is an overally amazing set!

Great experience - help on a quarter pannel
Bought this for myself for Christmas. Overall good experience but after rebuilding 3 times the rear quarter panel on top appears misaligned. Appreciate reply to correct if there is something wrong with the build. Thanks for doing Star Wars in Lego!!!

Good but ...
I’m enjoying this build. It’s an easy yet well designed set. Except ... I have had to place not one but two separate orders for missing pieces. I received this as a gift, so the gift giver has had the burden of requesting these replacements. Ten business days x 2 is not exactly the pace at which I want to build. Aside from the quality assurance issues, this is a fun set.

Disappointed
I bought this for christmas and am so disappointed. Not only are the instructions wrong (they show future steps in current photos/leave out steps and arrows/etc), but my kit is missing two parts. Both cannot be misconstrued for anything else and one is out of stock when i tried to get a replacement. For the price, this build is not worth it. I just completed the big Hedwig one and this is absolutely frustrating and shouldn't be labeled a 9+ item.

Millennium Falcon is Awesome
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband is very into Star Wars and the Millennium Falcon was for him. I was a little apprehensive at first about this, but this turned out to be extremely enjoyable building this Falcon. This ended up being bigger than I thought it was going to be, but the detailed instructions made it easy. Legos are always fun to build and this Falcon was no disappointment! My husband is proudly displaying the final product and I would recommend it to anyone who is thinking about buying it.

Probably the single best SW Lego set available
All of the 150 dollar range Falcons are amazing. This one is the best of the minor variations. They improved on it across the board. The set hits it out of the park for display, playability, collectability or making your own movies. While some sets cater to a single scene (sometimes even a minor and very linear one) this set is endlessly playable not only for scenes across the entire franchise but for open ended imagination as well. While I have many Lego SW sets from small to USC, if I could only have one it would be this one.

INCREDIBLE!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a massive Star Wars fan, so to have something like this to add to my collection is beyond words amazing! It is one of the coolest sets! I will say, it did take a good amount of time to finish and there were a few times where I felt like I would never finish, but now that it is complete, it was worth it all! It is nice and big but very detailed, and came with some lego figurines to play with. This set it perfect for any Star Wars fan kid or adult!

Great set
I purchased this set for my 6-year-old grandson for Christmas. We've been having a great time building, though his attention span for the first couple of bags when you're building the skeleton was a little short. I have the last grey one LEGO produced (as well as the white one and the 7,000 piece one) and this is an improvement over the first one I got. The biggest improvement is in the top exterior. Instead of individual triangles there are several sturdy quadrants that hinge and fit well. There's a great hidden smuggling compartment that extends below deck and the drive in the rear is built with translucent blue tiles that is more representative of the ship that has taken us on so many great adventures over the years.
Terrific set. My only regret with LEGO is that I can't by stock.

Most of it looks great, just dont turn it over
The inside and the top of the ship look good and has decent detail for this edition, but if you turn it over or have it displayed on its side or hanging then you will be disappointed.
There is basically nothing done to the bottom of the ship, no effort was put in to this model on the bottom other than add some landing struts. You can't tell from the box pictures or the adds which really upset me. I would have went with a different model and saved up for the UCS version.

a must buy
this set is fantastic. it has great detail and great minifigures. the cockpit is a bit small but you can work the figures in. the lando minifig is amazing, and so are boolio and finn.the building techniques are neat, like connecting the flaps to open up the interior. theres a lot of room to have some figures sit in , and theres cannons you can put some in as well. with the slave 1 being out at the same time as this, you can have han and lando drive the falcon. its well worth the price, 10/10

Super fun Lego set!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a fabulous Lego set that my almost 12-year-old son put together. It took him about 6 hours to build, which he broke up over a few days. Once built, he has spent hours playing with it and running all over the house with his Millennium Falcon. I loved that is was a great project and nice challenge to build himself and I especially love how well it has stayed together with hours of playing!
His favorite part might be the characters that came with it. There are a couple newer characters but mostly some classics! He loves Chewbacca, C-3PO and R2-D2, and they really make the playing fun.
Lego makes fabulous products that inspire creativity and pretend play! We have some other Legos, but this set has quickly become one of our favorites!

Impressive set! Small issues.
This set was a fun time to build, though I will say with all the varying shades of gray it makes it harder to rebuild once you take it apart. But that's minor and serviceable. The seating at the flight control is small and the pictures minifigures are hard to have in there together, but can be done. You also have to be very careful to build correctly or the parts built upside down may still work but will feel like it doesn't fit as perfect as if you did it correctly. The satchel part for Finn is a little fragile and broke the first time we used it, but LEGO is always good at replacement parts for breakage issues.
So, all of the above are minor, but in my eyes, if its not perfect, it's not 5 star.
For the good, there are a good amount of figures and at MSRP this is a good price for the amount of peices as well as weight of the set. I love the gems in this set too, like the gunner seating and the hidden compartment near the kitchen. The 3d chess table and the medical area. Some very nice touches on the outside of the ship in detail work and the fact that you can fire the lasers is all very neat.
I think this is a great buy, a great build and very giftable for that Star Wars fan in your life (if you are not buying it for yourself.)

Probably the best Falcon set, with small flaws
This is a substantial, fun to build set. The size is quite optimal for having the right shape and details while maintaining playability.
Obviously the tricky shape of the ship makes it challenging to design but this is the best version so far, if not counting the UC one.
The way it opens is a huge improvement to prior versions, with 5/6 lids that open. However, some of them are very flimsy due to the challenging shape. Especially the lid next to the cockpit, the hingle is simply poorly designed and placed.
There could be a little more details inside, the "kitchen" corner is quite empty and could use some more interesting elements than a frying pan and a coffee mug...
An annoying flaw are the top and bottom turrets which do not stay in place and break constantly. The four "barrels" on each are the most prone to falling off way too easily. If you open the round hatch on top, the cannon swings around and gets in the way. I know the size makes it a challege to implement these but this just doesn't work. Also, the top hatch with the vertically sliding "thing" - what is this supposed to be?
The characters are fun but I don't understand putting a one scene side character (Boolio) in a set. There are countless more relevant characters to put in there

Best Millennium Falcon Yet!
If you are looking for a LEGO Millennium Falcon, this is the one you should get. This set offers excellent playability, a very well designed interior, and it looks stunning when finished. The Minifigures are great, including an exclusive Lando Calrissian and Boolio. It took me about 1 day to build this set, but it might take longer for younger builders. Overall, this is a great set for kids, and adults will enjoy this iconic Star Wars ship just as much

Great set, but a couple flaws
This is a wonderful set and a definite buy. I love the old Lando and the D-O minifigures. I'm not sure who Boolio is, but he looks cool. This set is really good, although it is kind of hard to put Chewie and Lando in the cockpit at the same time because Lando's cape gets in the way a little. Also, you can't close the flaps when minifigures are standing (or sitting) in certain areas of the ship, like all the chairs. Overall, this is a great set.

Its great for both lego fans and star wars fans
This is great. As someone whos a bit older than most lego fans, I really enjoyed building this set and I enjoy playing with it. If you on the edge about buying it because you don't know if you are gonna like it, trust me you will. It's a bit of a hard build but that's what you should expect with a set this size. When it comes to quality, no missing pieces, no broken pieces, no low-quality pieces, no loose pieces. Everything went great.

Really good set with a great price!
This set was a lot of fun to build,and is perfect for play and display. Lego has really improved the Falcon since they released the tfa and solo versions. It now opens faster because the parts that you lift are 6 (including front part). It has some awesome minifigs, such as a new version of Finn, an exclusive Lando( whose outfit looks kinda like the one from Solo), Boolio, the alien from the start of the film, Chewbacca with the 2015 bowcaster, C-3PO, R2-D2 and D-O, the new Droid from TROS. It includes space for 2 figs + D-O, two "beds", a chair that can turn around, a holotable with 3 chairs and space for 2 figures in the canons in the center. The only problem I had is that the part next to the cockpit could not fit, so I have left it there without attaching it on any other piece. Anyway, it's an amazing set and I would definitely recommend buying it
