LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon

For me putting this together by myself took roughly 38 hours. Part of that was because i was very tired when i started and had never attempted one of the huge Lego builds like this before, so i did not realize that the numbered bags were basically thrown into the four large boxes willy nilly. i ended up with several open large bags of pieces i didn't end up using until halfway through the build. And yes, i heavily facepalmed when i realized this but, really, i am not sure why Lego shipped it this way, considering that the huge AT-AT set they released prior to this, have the four big boxes in the proper order for the build. In any case, this oversight (and minor annoyance) did not deduct anything from my overall rating. The boxes themselves and the instruction manual are very cool, each box having a different quote about the Falcon on it, and the instruction book (which is bound with metal rings due to the huge amount of instructions needed) has several pages dedicated to factoids about the process of building the ship for the actual films. You can tell this set was designed by and for Star Wars fans. The building process is fantastic for the frame, and then intermittently throughout from that point on. So what's the deal? Well, for one thing, in a build of this length, the occasional missing of steps is pretty much

I can't believe I agreed to order this for my fiance. We already have an epic amount of Star Wars Lego in the house but apparently we *needed* this set which takes up an entire table to display. He gets a decent tax return and what does he want to spend it on? The largest Lego set possible!

This was a very involved and fun set to put together. Definitely a collector. I used this set to help keep me busy while I quit smoking cigarettes. It took me about 9 days or close to 55 hours to put together. It's extremely detailed and accurate. I wish there were more huge Lego Star Wars sets .
