Star Wars Lego Set 10179, The Millennium Falcon, is part of Lego's extreme assembler Series (Ucs) that has wowed fans with large models, attention to information and high collectability. The Millennium Falcon is not only the largest of these sets ever released it is the largest Lego set ever, with over 5000 pieces. For Star Wars fans there is the added bonus that this ship is built to minifigure scale. So that means that the minifigures that come with the set are in spoton size proportion to the huge ship that transports them over the galaxy.
The minifigures are probably the least provocative part of the set, given the motion of the ship, but it is nice that Lego sought to consist of minifigures with the set as former Ucs releases have not included any figures. There are five figures, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker, Obi wan Kenobi and Chewbacca all in chapter Four, A New Hope garb. It is a good selection of figures that could have been improved by adding the final two characters that travelled with this crew on their travels, the two droids R2-D2 and C3Po.

The Millennium Falcon ship is a Corellian Engineering Corporation Yt-1300 freighter and was won by the smuggler Han Solo in a game of Sabacc. The man he won the ship off was none other than Lando Calrissian. The Lego model itself is obviously very big and would guarantee a valuable display area if it is to be put on show. The ship is over 33" long, 22" wide and 8" tall (84cm long x 56cm wide x 21cm tall). And given the piece count this is not the kind of set that you will be assembling very often, so defiantly determine where it is going to go before you start building!
The information on the Ucs model is gorgeous and the attention given to even the smallest surface extends all over the ship. A large variety of small pieces are applied to the top surface to give it the realistic look. Given all the attention paid to the surface it is a shame that there is almost zero playability inside the ship.
Two habitancy can sit side by side with someone else two habitancy in a row behind them. There is a boarding ramp underneath and a gunner chair at the top. That is about it. Granted, much of the inner space is taken up with building pieces to keep this large and wide set together but it would have been nice to see a dejarik table or some sleeping quarters etc. But this is a minor quibble.
The set comes with a large spiral bound education book and will take some hours to build. It also features a display card with detailed ship specifications of the ship to accentuate the display. Whole it is a extremely recommended for those with the money to afford the 9 model and the space to store it.
