LEGOStar Wars Millennium Falcon 7965

This set has lots of interesting details that my teen son adored putting together. And as far as big sets that are Star Wars brand, this one is more affordable despite all the detail. Great buy

Got this Millenium Falcon to surprise my husband for his birthday. This is the licensed version of Legos and you can expect top quality of each piece. This entry level model is fantastic for someone that wants enough details in the build without spending big money for a larger professional version. Comes with Luke, Darth Vader, Princess, and Chubakka each with their own weapons. All the guns, and flaps on the spaceship can move on a hinge. The top part of the ship completely opens up so you have full access to play on the inside of the ship! Highly recommend as a great gift!

As a collector of the new line of Star Wars legos, I have to say that this is clearly the centerpiece of my collection along with the 9493 X-Wing (both are not from this year's release but I group them in the new line). So far I have built the 75054 AT-AT, 75055 Imperial Star Destroyer, 75050 B-Wing, 75049 Snowspeeder and some smaller sets but this takes the cake in terms of fun and details.Build: It was pretty straightforward, with a lot of technic pieces forming the bottom frame and then repetitive building for the top covers. I usually build sets pretty quickly (AT-AT took 2 hours) but I went a little slower on this one, taking about 3 hours to finish it all. There are painted panels for computers but also stickers for some of the pieces on the outside, and while I'm not a huge fan of decals they look decent enough on the finished product.Playbility: This is a lot more fun to play with than sets of similar price range like the AT-AT and the Star Destroyer. The top panels fold out nicely to reveal the interior and aren't too loose to flop if you play with it upside down. The main body features: 1) 2 beds, 2) the training remote Luke uses in A New Hope; 3) sitting area with the board game; 4) a center computer console; 5) stowaway compartment; 6) a lowering walkway (?); and 7) the top/bottom quad cannons with seats for gunners that slides out the top. The cockpit can fit both Han and Chewie (with Chewie sitting slightly behind Han). The landing gear won't fold in or slide up but this will probably be on a surface most of the time, and you can take them off if you really want to. You can easily fit all of the minifigures that came with the set plus more to recreate scenes from episode 4, or make up your own scenes. While the AT-AT just has an empty space to fit Snowtroopers and the Star Destroyer has a few panels and standing space, this set allows your figures to be in the context of the movie and to actually be interacting with the ship itself.Minifigures: Of course it comes with Luke, Leia, Obi-Wan, Han, Chewie, and Darth Vader. As with the other reviewers, I would've liked to see R2 and C-3PO included given the hefty price tag, but they can be purchased individually or via Droid Escape set. The details on the figures are great and have the same level of accuracy as the newest figures from this year.Love this set, you will not regret it if you are an adult collector that doesn't mind spending in the $50~$200 range for a fun kit.

This was far and away my 6 year old son's favorite Christmas present. In fact, he is playing with it right now as I type this review. Let me be the first to say, if you are not a master builder, be prepared to spend a lot of time putting this together. Since I in fact AM a master builder, it took about 2 1/2 hours (my 6 year old tapped out after about 25 minutes....quitter). This thing is big and heavy when you put it together. Not really a toy a 6 year old can carry around and "fly" through space. More like a sit on the ground and make believe you are on the planet Tatooine kind of toy. KEEP THE INSTRUCTIONS. Invariably your little one will step on it, drop it, or mistakenly let his 3 year old sister play with it and parts do fall off. NOTE: No Kragle was used in the construction of this set. EVERYTHING IS AWESOME! (singing it in your head now aren't you.)

This is a pretty simple and straightforward build. Just needed a few more seconds to differentiate the tile illustrations on the instruction booklet as light grey seems similar to dark grey. Same goes for dark grey and black illustrations. Tile bags are numbered and in sequence which allows builders to find tiles easily.Tip: use a few plastic bowls to store the tiles, within each number bag there exists a few smaller bags, so the plastic bowls really come in handy to store and sort your tiles.Thankfully, there wasn't any missing parts in the box that I received. But don't be surprised if Lego has given additional parts in your box.I don't know what are darth vader and obi-wan kenobi doing in this box but they are a nice addition to my collection of minifigs.The final product makes for a majestic and spectacular display article in the bedroom or living room. Visitors will always have something nice to say about it.P.S. The price actually went down to $111.99. So just be patient, set your camel e-mail alerts and buy when the time is ripe.
