This set is one of many Millennium Falcons, but overall my favourite version including the USC version. It retailed for $100, has 985 pcs and 5 minifigs

—The Minifigs—————————————————————————————

First we got C3PO, it has a weird colour but I personally like it. It has the same moulds has today’s.

Second we have a Chewbacca, it’s the reddish brown version. I prefer this one to today’s one with his huge eyes.

Thirdly we have a snowtrooper, a nice touch. I yet again like this version than the new one.

Fourthly we have Han Solo, this is the hot version with the blue jumper, a nice Minifig.

lastly we have a Hoth Leia, I like this version more than today’s (Again). She has a tan jacket.

-The build———————————————————————————————-

Firstly we have a mini turret, I like this as this can Attack the falcon while it drives

away.

Now we have the Falcon the exterior is grey and has less holes than the one today which is nice and makes it feel more complete and I like the cockpit. It also has a nice radar dish

The interior is less furnished than the new ones but this was made a while ago so

it makes sense, not much to talk about.

This is a great set and my favorite version by far with great Minifigs and nice builds, you’ll see two new reviews in the next week on the elite patorien battle pack (spelled wrong, it is a hard word) and the LEGO ideas TRON LEGACY set, PizzaBrick out!

Back in the day, the Millennium Falcon was the most coveted of all Lego Star Wars sets, and naturally as a Star Wars and Lego fan, I wanted one really bad. So the time came to Christmas, and my dream came true! It's been almost 10 years since I bought it, and it still sits proudly on my display shelf, showing no age compared to other sets in my vast Star Wars collection.

Box/Instructions

The first thing I remember about building this in 2nd grade was how much I screwed up trying to build it. The first time I built it, I forgot to put 2 VERY major plates on the bottom, and this quickly resulted in disaster! After examining the instruction booklet a second time, I quickly slapped myself on the head and rebuilt the entire thing. So the instructions weren't too hot, but the box definitely was! I recall the front having a flap that was secured by velcro, and you don't see that anymore...

Parts

Until I purchased 7676 Republic Attack Gunship in 2008, this was the largest Lego set I owned. The amount of pieces included was vast, and opening all of those bags when you were a kid really put a smile on your face.

Minifigures

Ah the minifigures! Han Solo was by far my favorite, and C-3P0 came in a close second. The Snowtrooper was a nice inclusion, and Chewbacca and Leia help make this an absolute minifig win in my eyes.

The build

As stated before, the instructions caused a little bit of frustration on my part, but this could be due to my age at the time being well below the recommendation on the box. Otherwise the build was fairly simple, and like any other kid I looked forward to when I could build the panels and open the Falcon and recreate my favorite scenes from The Empire Strikes Back.

The completed model

The completed model looks absolutely outstanding, especially next to my other Battle of Hoth sets. The escape pod was my absolute favorite part as a kid, and the hyperdrive was wonderful to look at as well. The landing gear are a little too easy to break off, but I can't find a better solution for this so it doesn't detract from the model as a whole. It is rather wide for a grade schooler to hold and swoosh around, and it ended up staying on the table when I played with it.

Overall opinion

Considering the fact that I've had this model for ten years, and that I haven't once considered selling it or purchasing the new Falcon, this set is easily in my top 3 of all time. It looks wonderful next to the other members of my Rebel fleet, and will hopefully stay that way for years to come.

Pros:

Minifig selection is wonderful

Build fairly easy

Play features are abundant

Cons:

Instructions a little challenging for a 2nd grader

Landing gear a bit flimsy

Overall 5/5, a set for the ages!

This is without a doubt the greatest star wars set ever. Not only that but the greatest millenium falcon- theres no way lego could do a better job. Lots of parts in and on the ship are hard to keep together, but once it's made they will not. Although the building experience and playability can get hard, this ship remains a masterpiece.

Pros:

• 1. Rare minifigs
• 2. inside exterior
• 3. easy to open
• 4. rotatable turret
• 5. escape pod

Cons:

• 1. can only seat two in th cockpit
• 2. legs at the bottom often fall off
• 3. my factory sealed box had lots of missing pieces

I give it a 10/10.

This set is great. Five great minifigures and one awesome ship. I added a small amount of plate support on the bottom and used different, more advanced bricks throughout building. I left out many parts including the small piston like parts connecting the cockpit to the ship, for these make the cockpit unstable. After building it carefully and pushing hard on each piece together, the end result was the most sturdy ship in my entire LEGO collection. Even when dropped this ship takes little damage. Turned out to possibly be the best LEGO spacefighter created. Use common sense to improve all models, don't stay so firm to the instructions.

The Millennium Falcon is exactly like it is in the movies, it's always breaking down. This ship is not a very sturdy ship, and falls apart a lot. But the set has been worth the $100.00 I spent on it.
My favorite part of the ship is its interior details. On one side of the ship there is a ramp that drops down. Surprisingly, it works very well. On the other side of ship there is a escape pod. The pod has a control panel inside and a very nice detailed outside. The side of the ship flips up to let the pod out. The only problem is it sometimes breaks off. The escape pod can hold two people, but you can pack more in it.
The cockpit comes off to reveal an area that seats three people (if you put them in the right way) and a small control panel.
In the main part of the ship there is a circular chest table with chairs around it ( from the scene in "A New Hope" where Chebaka and C-3PO play chess with each other). Towards the back of the ship is the hyper drive generator. In the back of the generator there is a smooth 1 by 4 brick that say "hyperdrive". Around the generater there are racks that hold tools that come with the set (screw driver, hammer, wrench etc.).
In the center of the ship is the turret whose top comes off. Inside there is a seat with a control panel (the spot where the turret is controlled).
There is a cargo bay in the front of the ship which can hold a small amount of cargo.

Bottum line: great set, great details, great figs, worth the money.
