LEGO Drops Prices on Iconic Millennium Falcon Sets, Now One of the Cheapest in the Star Wars Line
There’s a reason LEGO has remained relevant for generations. Few brands can appeal equally to children discovering creativity for the first time and adults rediscovering it decades later. Opening a LEGO box feels like an invitation to slow down: the soft rattle of pieces, the clean instruction book, and the promise that something meaningful will emerge from a pile of plastic bricks. Forget everything out there that’s causing you stress. Just sit down and build . Personally, I love to just pop on a podcast and let the time slip by as I put a set together, piece by piece. Few vehicles in film history carry the same instant recognition as the Millennium Falcon Star Wars set. The legendary ship that carried heroes across the galaxy and legendarily made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs. Right now, that legend is more affordable than usual: The LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon set is currently discounted by 20%, dropping from $85 to $67 . Built for Display Unlike play-focused sets built for constant handling, this LEGO Millennium Falcon is designed primarily for display. Mounted on the included display stand at a subtle angle, it gives the impression of movement, as if it’s mid-turn in the vacuum of space. Its dimensions-just over five inches tall, about nine and a half inches long, and roughly seven and a half inches wide-make it ideal for a desk, bookshelf, or display cabinet. It commands attention without overwhelming the space. The set is made up of 921 pieces. LEGO captures the Millennium Falcon’s signature exterior while also sneaking in interior references fans will appreciate. Because of the scale, characters aren’t represented by traditional minifigures, but by abstract stacked elements that still convey the idea of the crew aboard. Small details, like the holographic dejarik chess table, serve as thoughtful callbacks that reward close inspection. The set commemorates the 25th anniversary of LEGO Star Wars, a collaboration that began in 1999 with the release of The Phantom Menace . From those early X-Wings and Landspeeders, the partnership has expanded into one of LEGO’s most successful and enduring lines. Through all of that growth, the Millennium Falcon has remained central-an enduring symbol of adventure, creativity, nostalgia, and $68 that’s just burning a whole in your wallet. With its current discount, there may be no better time to bring that symbol home.
