The obligatory “The box” section in our LEGO set reviews is generally intended for our readers who are interested in seeing what’s on the back of the box before they buy it, and of course to let everyone know whether it’s a disposable box or reusable collector’s box (like LEGO Architecture and earlier LEGO Ideas sets). We’ll also do our best to compare this set with the earlier 10179 UCS Millennium Falcon from 2007. We expect that many of our readers will not be able to afford an $800 set, and we want to give you as much vicarious insight as possible into the end-to-end experience. That obviously makes it the most-expensive LEGO set ever released, and we’ll address the price later in the review.įair warning up front that this review will be as much about the subjective build experience and our Gestalt perspective on the completed model as it will be about details like parts, minifigs, and building techniques. The new UCS Millennium Falcon includes 7,541 pieces with 10 minifigs, and costs USD 799.99. TBB Senior Editor Chris Malloy and I have spent literally every spare moment since last Monday (a week and a half ago) slaving at the brick to bring you our hands-on review of the largest LEGO set ever released. But when the new 75192 Ultimate Collector’s Millennium Falcon lands with a resounding “thump!” on our doorstep two days before it’s available to LEGO VIP Program members, that’s a bit of a different story. We just spend a couple evenings building, photographing, and writing up the review - no big deal. You could still order LEPIN or KING MF on Aliexpress.When LEGO sends The Brothers Brick an early copy of a LEGO set to review, receiving it a few days before it’s widely available is generally not a problem. Update Nov 12 2019: After the demise of LEPIN brand, the KING was reborn as the Millennium Falcon set was released as KING 81085 instead. The Vertical Stand for MF can be ordered on Aliexpress. Perhaps this is cheaper and easier way to build the vertical stand for either LEPIN 05132 or LEGO 75192. Below are some photos of the vertical stand. You may order Lepin 05132 set from Aliexpress for those of you outside China. Still, this is s a clone and the original is available for sale. Lepin faithfully reproducing the set in identical to the original. There was another build for the Force Awaken version.Ĭockpit for the UCS Millennium Falcon. We took five days, on and off to complete the set. Lepin UCS MF done! What a way to spend your time. However the bag number 6 and 9 were confusing as there is no indication on which number is which. There are 17 numbered bags for you to build according to the steps on the manual. Lepin had up the game in their minifigures offering. The display plate with “Star Plan” wordings. The box art is a direct copy of LEGO.Ĭame with four inner boxes. Though you may negotiate with the sellers to include the box but that would increase the shipping cost. Those of you who ordered from Aliexpress would be shipped without the box. Please support the original whenever you could. We didn’t compare the manual against the original so couldn’t tell whether Lepin increase the parts count by using small parts for some of the steps. Rumor had that would be a display stand but that had been debunked after we finished building the set without the stand. First thing the Lepin fans spotted would be extra 1000 pieces of parts compared to the original. Lepin managed to release this set a month after the launch of the original. Finally we got a review on Lepin 05132 UCS Millennium Falcon which is a clone of LEGO 75192.
