Star Wars mini vehicles allow users to create vast scenes from the movies without spending thousands of dollars. Each new model has at least one special piece so that you won't be able to duplicate it exactly by using other pieces in your collection.

The Millennium Falcon is pretty true to the original. The finished model is the size of the palm of a large hand. A good size for playing with.

The directions are standard Lego format and are easy to follow. The final construction is solid and believable. The set includes extra parts for making part of a Y-Wing (the rest of the parts are available with the AT-At, Republic Gunship, and the Multi-Troop Transport).

All in all, very nicely done.

The Lego Mini Millennium Falcon is just that... a mini. It measures about 5 inches by 4 inches, and stands about 2 inches high.

I also made the larger LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector's Millennium Falcon (well, I had lots of help!). This larger model is very nice, but it's big and heavy. If you want a Millennium Falcon to play with in, say, the tub, or in the sandbox, or even on your lap in a chair as you're reading, you won't use the big collector's model. Instead, this Mini Millennium Falcon is perfect. It's light, easy to move, fits in one hand, and easy to put back together if it has an unfortunate accident with an Imperial Destroyer.

Unfortunately, this model has moved into the price range of collectibles now, so it really isn't a "toy" anymore. However, if you have one, play away!

This Lego Star Wars Millenium Falcon comes in a TINY box - it has very few pieces to it; but, my son wanted nothing for Christmas except the legos Falcon and we just couldn't come up with 300+ to get the huge one - this dinky one used to be in the Dollar stores for just that - a dollar - but, supply and demand - it is now $50!! I think it is a total rip off, but am hoping my son will enjoy it anyway, until he can save up for the "real" falcon later. If he wanted even a BARBIE for Christmas, I would not have gotten this cheap replacement. (But I may have been looking for a good psychiatrist) LOL.
