Toys and Games Reviews of Lego Star Wars Episode III Millennium Falcon
Customer Review: Fun to Build, Fun to Play With
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for our family (two children, ages 9 and 6, plus mom and dad). The younger one was very interested in building it, and actually did the building while I hunted up the parts for the next step (the older was playing with the Lego ARC-170 and Tie Fighter we already had). With all the pieces, we hadn't finished by bedtime, and so I finished up the project after they'd gone to sleep. The design was very good, with excellent use of standard pieces and a few special ones; the instructions were the usual detailed isometric drawings without words, with the usual high clarity. The kit has enough parts to require a good deal of patience, and I would *not* recommend it for anyone with a short attention span (at least, not if you don't have someone else available to build it).
In play, my children run about the house with it, and the model holds together fairly well. Of course, the pieces themselves are extremely sturdy, but they do come apart. The landing struts have popped off a number of times, but the kids pop them back on just as easily. The top panels (hinged to open and reveal the interior) are *very* easy to dislodge, but just as easy to re-seat, and are big enough that it's very difficult to lose them. Unlike another reviewer, we've had no problems with the gangway linkage. It was slightly disappointing that the cockpit was so cramped and that the access to it requires a slight disassembly instead of being hinged, but that's a minor point in such a fine toy. Lego kits always seem to have some unexpected little delightful details, and this kit has quite a few.
The figures (Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, C-3PO, and a snowtrooper) all fit well with the rest of the Star Wars Lego figures. Han has a choice of parka hood or hair, while the rest have only one configuration. The snowtrooper's portable cannon-blaster is quite ingenious, using only two base parts to coordinate a barrel, handgrips, T&E gear, and tripod legs.
The kids have already begun to take advantage of my favorite Lego characteristic: the kit has been partially disassembled and the pieces used with parts from other kits to make other things (a boat, a fortress). This kit has some nifty parts that should spark their imaginations; I know it's gotten me thinking of other things to build.

A challenging build, this new model features removable triangular pieces and a removable top, so you can see the action inside the Millennium Falcon.
