![]() You will not escape a few repetitive sequences during which it will be necessary to build several times the same sub-assemblies such as the landing gear of the ship which also partially reproduce the design of those of the 10179 set. The result is extremely solid and the structure can be easily handled at this stage by grasping it from the center. Here we find a cross design similar to that of the previous model. ![]() This is no surprise, the structure of the ship is based on Technic pieces and it will remind some memories to the owners of the 10179 UCS Millennium Falcon set released in 2007. In total, there are 17 groups of bags to assemble and 1379 assembly steps… We therefore start with twenty bags numbered from 1 to 6 (in groups of 3 or 4 bags). Disassembly, however, promises to be laborious… No way either to race, I take my time, I enjoy myself. No question of giving you a guided tour of the assembly of the set, others will do it better than me and if this is your thing you will quickly find long videos online of the 7541 pieces of this set in real-time. It is now time to move on to the essential, the assembly of this Millennium Falcon. If I open a box, it’s to assemble what’s inside. I am demanding on a product’s quality but I am not a packaging fetishist and I am tired of languid unboxing. But whatever the setting, it is the content that counts. That’s always the price.Īs you will have understood, this first contact with this set is not really up to my expectations. Anyone who has tried to properly apply the 10240 Red Five X-Wing Starfighter canopy sticker will be relieved not to have to use improbable techniques here to get the correct result. LEGO didn’t push the flaw to the point of letting you stick a sticker on the cockpit canopy. To find yourself sticking stickers on a €799.99 product marked “Ultimate Collector Series” is simply unacceptable. In 2017, what is the excuse for not stamping the elements of a high-end model for the exhibition? To be able to reuse the parts concerned to build something else? Limit production costs? You can try to convince me, you won’t be able to do it. ![]() To finish with the contents of the box, let’s not forget the “traditional” sticker sheet.
