Across every known and unknown portion of the universe, a giant tear in the fabric of space/time occurs as AFOLs* let out a quantum groan of agony.

Ultimate Collector’s Millennium Falcon - 2017 edition
Value: $799.99

Number of Pieces: 7,541
The set is actually an updated version of the original deluxe Falcon set that Lego released back in 2007, which contained a paltry 5,195 pieces and cost a mere $500. While that set (like all of the Ultimate Collectors Series models) was eventually discontinued, it remains one of the most sought-after sets by fans; prices for the original model tend to cost in the $2,000 to $3,000 range.

The set also comes with 10 minifigures (Han, C-3P0, Leia, Chewbacca, BB-8, Old Han, Finn, Rey, and two porgs) allowing you to crew your giant Lego ship with the characters from the original trilogy and the latest saga films.

The new 7,541-piece Lego Millennium Falcon is the biggest and most ...

   * AFOL = Adult Fan of LEGO. The most common term used to refer to LEGO fans who are adults.

Adam Savage (of Mythbusters fame) and a crew of 6 fully assembled the set #75192 in only 12 hours.

Tess's incompetence at Catch Phrase really made today's GMMore. It was second only to a few priceless looks from Rhett conveying, "I have to play THIS game with THESE two?"

The Millennium Falcon Lego set brought back some nostalgia. Back in 2002, Lego Magazine announced the then-largest set ever released: The Imperial Star Destroyer (10030). Being a big fan of both Lego and Star Wars, I saved up for months in order to purchase the monstrosity.

Tess would be brilliantly frustrating to play Cranium with. 

2002 . . . 15-16 years ago . . . so you were, like, 8 or 10 years old?

and were you successful in assembling said monstrosity?
PIC or it didn't happen!

I know there were pictures at one point, but they have probably been lost to time. And I no longer have the set, since I sold it years later (for a small profit!)

So you're going to have to trust the UniSeal Code of Honor on this one. Or at least trust that someone who was crazy enough to subscribe to the Lego Magazine was crazy enough to build that thing over the course of a few weeks.
