The announcement of the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) was a pretty exciting event a few days ago but the actual release of the set on September 14 may be one of the most stressful things you will experience while purchasing a LEGO set. I’ve heard from a very trusted source that the set may be extremely limited upon its release, at least at LEGO Brand Stores, so much that you may have to line up early for a chance to get it. When I say early, I mean very early. Think of something like lining up for Hall H for the Marvel panel at San Diego Comic Con. I’ve been talking to some fans and they’re telling me that they will be lining up in the middle of the night to be one of the first people in line when the store opens.

As for online ordering, I expect it to be backstocked then temporarily out of stock in the first few minutes it goes live. I’ve also heard that if you’re lucky to get your order in, the set will be shipped triple boxed so it won’t be damaged during shipping. Even at the $800 price point, I have a feeling that the UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) will be more hard to get than the LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309).

I’ll get more on that in a separate post.

When you open it, it shows some of the interior details of the Falcon and the other page shows the minifigures that are included with the set.

When you open up the other flap, you get some more details and stats. One thing that is new that the brochure tells us is that it will have 496 pages in a spiral bound booklet.

The last page again shows some of the details of the Falcon including the interchangeable antennas and the new cockpit.

Overall, the brochure is a neat collectible and it shows that LEGO is going all out on promoting this set. Check out some of the pictures of the LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series Millennium Falcon (75192) being displayed at the LEGO Store. These pictures were taken at … Continue
