#BEST MILLENNIUM FALCON LEGO SET FULL#
That includes a realistic exterior mimicking the ship's cobbled-together nature, individual rooms full of furniture, a gunner's station, and even that holographic Dejarik game Chewie hates to lose at. Thanks to an impressive total of 7K bricks (which makes it a contender for biggest overall Lego set), it's much more intricate than the cheaper equivalent based on Rise of Skywalker. And care, come to think of it those roof panels 'sit' on the build so won't handle you pressing them too hard.ĭesign: The level of detail here is ridiculous. As this would suggest, the UCS Millennium Falcon is a complex beast that will need some patience. The first is a hulking frame that individual rooms slide into (secured by Technic pieces). What it's like to build: This is an enormous project with a massive footprint, so it's no surprise that you'll build it in a couple of sections. And it's true that this kit is eye-wateringly expensive. What you need to know: As fans will know, being a Lego collector is punishing on the bank balance. While this model is undoubtedly better, it's similar enough that buying an $800 / £700 equivalent may give you buyer's remorse. ❌ You already have the cheaper Millennium Falcon: If the Rise of Skywalker version is already in your collection, you may be better off holding fire. There's a reason some people incorporate it into artsy coffee tables… it's massive. ❌ You don't have much room to display it: Be warned - this set will absolutely dominate any space it's in. It's a magnificent design that demonstrates everything these kits can be. The bottom line: All this makes Rivendell one of the best Lego sets.

In fact, there are more than a few cubby-holes that serve as cute little dioramas every time you look at it, there's something new to discover.

Few other sets are as intricate as this, and it's riddled with secrets that range from tiny maps of Middle-earth to Bilbo's red book. Thanks to concise instructions that are incredibly clear, it avoids any kind of confusion as you put it together section by section (the project is split into three manageable chunks).You'll be kept amused by numerous facts and the daddest of dad jokes dotted throughout these books, too.ĭesign: Sure, Lego Rivendell is an investment in terms of time and money. What it's like to build: Although it's not for the faint of heart due to its 6K pieces, 50 bags, and 20-hour build time, Lego Rivendell is all the more satisfying as a result.
