ToggleLego “Star Wars” Ultimate Millennium Falcon
By probably the most complicated Lego set we have ever seen, The Lego Company’s Ultimate Millennium Falcon makes a magnificent display piece when finished.
We’re willing to state that this Lego set reproducing the Millennium Falcon from “Star Wars” is undisputed. Despite the fact that Lego sets are continually developing and growing more complex. There is thorough accounting for every character, defensive system, exhaust pipe, and satellite. The ship that completed the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs can have Han Solo, Chewbacca, Luke, Leia, Rey, Poe, or Finn sitting in the pilot’s seat.
Assembling this Lego model will require a lot of time and space because the Millennium Falcon must be built from the inside out. The ship’s interior is certainly not something you’ll see very often, but you can be sure that it is a perfect duplicate of the original. It goes without saying that pieces of the Falcon can be removed to expose rooms where the various characters can reside.

LEGO Nasa Apollo Saturn V
The history of the LEGO Nasa Apollo Saturn V has been a little rocky: it was discontinued, and prices skyrocketed. And then it was reintroduced with a new set number but the same model. The Apollo spacecraft and rescue rocket are included. As well as an exact, meter-high scale model (about 1:110) of the Apollo Saturn V rocket, the S-IC first rocket stage, and the S-II second rocket stage. The lunar lander and orbiter are components of the Apollo spacecraft.
There are other nuances, like the usage of 1,969 pieces—the moon landing took place in 1969, after all—and the ability to recreate both the splashdown and takeoff, that show this LEGO set was lovingly crafted. The entire set, which also includes three platforms to display the rocket horizontally, is just amazing. It comes with three brand-new astronaut small figures.
It’s wonderful to see the Saturn V back because many people were upset when it was discontinued in the past. Not to mention that the price hasn’t changed. One of the best LEGO sets ever produced, it is very stunning.
