Amazon just broke that pattern by dropping <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.gizmodo.com\/go\/1994\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the Millennium Falcon 25th Anniversary set to $67, slashing $17 off the standard $84 price<\/a> in what marks an all-time low for this particular model. This mid-scale recreation of the most iconic starship in cinematic history captures the vessel as it appeared in A New Hope, complete with authentic details that spark memories of watching Han and Chewie make the jump to lightspeed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-center not-prose\"><a class=\"comp-button\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.gizmodo.com\/go\/1994\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\">See at Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Realistic Details That Pay Tribute to the Original<\/p>\n<p>In Lego\u2019s signature style, this 921-piece build faithfully recreates the Millennium Falcon\u2019s unique features: It turns the Corellian freighter\u2019s asymmetrical design and weathered look into colorful bricks. The cockpit is on the right side of the ship, just like in real life which lets the model have the small details that make it feel alive instead of just a decoration. You\u2019ll build the famous round satellite dish that spins freely, the quad laser cannons that move to protect themselves, and the detailed surface greebling that makes the Falcon look like it\u2019s been used.<\/p>\n<p>The building process itself puts you in a meditative state that adult Lego fans love, and the construction methods test your spatial reasoning without making you mad with hard-to-understand connections. Each part logically builds on the last, starting with the internal framework and then adding exterior plating and surface details. The instruction manual has clear diagrams that show you how to put together more than 200 pieces, so you don\u2019t have to guess where to put them or how to orient them. Depending on how much experience you have and how often you stop to admire your work, the build will take you about 4 to 6 hours.<\/p>\n<p>The display stand makes this set look more like real home decor by showing the Millennium Falcon at an angle that makes it look like it\u2019s moving and full of energy. The stand has a nameplate that tells you what the ship is and a special Lego Star Wars 25th Anniversary commemorative brick that shows this set is part of a big event in the partnership between Lego and Lucasfilm. The angled display lets you see the ship\u2019s round shape and details on the bottom that would be hidden if it were flat.<\/p>\n<p>This model is part of Lego\u2019s mid-scale Starship Collection and it has the right amount of detail and size for people who live in apartments or don\u2019t have a lot of space for bigger Ultimate Collector Series sets. The finished Falcon is about 9.5 inches long, 7.5 inches wide, and 5 inches tall, including the stand and it fits comfortably on standard bookshelves, desks, or entertainment centers without taking up too much space.<\/p>\n<p>Getting this Millennium Falcon set for $67 instead of $84 is a great deal for a licensed Lego product that honors one of pop culture\u2019s most famous vehicles: That $17 discount may not seem like much of a percentage but Lego Star Wars sets are known for having prices that don\u2019t change much, so any price drop is worth jumping on right away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-center not-prose\"><a class=\"comp-button\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.gizmodo.com\/go\/1994\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\">See at Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Star Wars is Lego\u2019s most popular license by far which means discounts on these sets rarely appear outside&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":344782,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[64,63,134,344],"class_list":{"0":"post-344781","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-movies"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/344781","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=344781"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/344781\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/344782"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=344781"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=344781"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=344781"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
