It also helps that a minifigure-scale Millennium Falcon is only truly achievable at this scale, and with this budget. It speaks to the detail across the entirety of the Falcon inside and out, and the rewarding (if lengthy – but that’s what you’re paying for) build process. The minifigure line-up definitely wouldn’t be the same in 2022, meanwhile, as the LEGO Group has now all but abandoned the sequel trilogy.īut the broad strokes of the ship would likely remain the same, which is only testament to how brilliantly designed it was back in 2017. For starters, the interior could be more fully-furnished – albeit with a bump in budget, although 10294 Titanic has shown us what’s possible with an even bigger part count. That’s not to say there aren’t areas to improve 75192 Millennium Falcon, or where it might differ if released today. While LEGO design has advanced in the past five years, it’s by no means to the same degree as the decade prior, and so most of the LEGO Group’s major releases from 2016 onwards generally hold up today. From 2007 to 2017, the LEGO Group accelerated its design techniques, part library and attention to detail at an incredible pace, and so the gap between the first and second Ultimate Collector Series Millennium Falcons is, in hindsight, massive.ġ0179 Millennium Falcon has aged considerably in the 15 years since it landed on shelves – a quick glance tells us as much – but 75192 Millennium Falcon could launch for the first time today exactly as it is, and we’d have few criticisms. In short, yes – and the reason is actually rooted in wider LEGO design principles over the past decade and a half.

But the real question is – particularly with one eye on everything that’s come since – does 75192 Millennium Falcon still hold up today? Is its design just as good, its premise just as ultimate, a full five years on?
