This is Model 10179, Ultimate Collector’s Millennium Falcon. It weighs more than 20 pounds and consists of 5195 pieces. It took the builder and his son about 30 hours. The completed model is about 33″ long, 22″ wide and 8″ tall. This video shows each step of assembly from the instruction manual.
I was in high school when somehow the entire student body burst into a spontaneous version of “We Will Rock You”. I didn’t like the song then, but I’ve witnessed it become a parody of itself to the point that I can’t help but love that it now exists.
LEGO continues to be one of the most creative toys and companies out there. This movie is almost as good as the first Indie, and definitely tops the other three. Plus it’s only five minutes!
I like to think my son loves bizarre buildings, but I know I love showing them to him. As many as there are, I want more, more, more! I do know he’s an excellent LEGO builder so all the viewing I subject him to has got to have some benefit for the boy.
This site could not have been built without the help and insight of Michael Morgenstern. My thanks go out to him.
Help save indie film and give this guy a job in web design or film!
