We also saw the release of the Boeing Dreamliner, the first Holiday Train as well as the Eiffel Tower and an Ultimate Collector Series Batmobile.īy the end of October 2007, there was a large set to suit fans of just about any major licensed theme that LEGO® sets were engaged with at the time. Sets that would set the bar for the future: 10182 Cafe Corner and 10190 Market Street, the first of the modular buildings released made their debut, with the Green Grocer following in 2008. October 2007 is also significant for other reasons: it was the launch date for multiple sets designed for mature builders. This new set is the first to have over 7000 pieces. The 10179 Millennium Falcon, was however the first LEGO® set to have more than 5000 pieces. There had been other UCS sets prior to this one, many of them part of the Star Wars line.

"My main goal was to present the model in a flying position, which was a huge task." Han Solo would be proud, Marshal.Ĭheck out a few more photos of the LEGO light freighter from Banana's Flickr account below. "It took me a whole year to accomplish this build (including planning and collecting bricks)," he said in a description for the photos. In all, it's composed of approximately 7,500 pieces, many of which had be ordered from galaxies far far away. Marshal Banana recently shared several images of the finished project, which measures almost 3ft long and even includes sublight engines that actually light up. But one diehard Star Wars fan seemingly busied himself in the lead up to the movie's debut by meticulously constructing one of the franchise's most beloved spaceships, the Millennium Falcon, out of thousands of LEGOs.
