I did it. I finished the largest LEGO® build of my life. Millennium Falcon day 10 was six hours and 32 minutes of solid building. I have used the word “epic” in many descriptions of this experience. However, the word describes the process well. In total, it was 494 pages of instructions consisting of 1379 steps, resulting in 21 hours

Progress continues on Millennium Falcon day 9. I assembled the eleventh bag set, and it was relatively quick. In total, it took me 47 minutes which is the fastest time yet. Consequently, my total time is now 14 hours and 45 minutes. This build consisted of the tops to the airlock corridors that I started assembling yesterday. There is a

On Millennium Falcon Day 8, I assembled the tenth bag set. The build consists of another series of underside panels for the ship. As with bags seven and eight, these attach using Technic rods and pins. Consequently, they also shift in place. Additionally, they are hard to attach alone. As I mentioned in the last journal entry, the underside panels

Millennium Falcon day 7 turned out to be a big one. I had a little extra time, so I did not stop at one bag. I assembled three bag sets today. It took me three hours and nine minutes. Consequently, my total build time now sits at 12 hours and 43 minutes. Additionally, the set is a little more than

Millennium Falcon Day 6 resulted in a more recognizable ship. Additionally, it got a whole lot bigger. I think the Falcon is at its full length now. Incidentally, you assemble the front section of the ship and the twin noses. At this point, they remain just frames though. The exterior detailing will come in future bag sets, no doubt. In

At present, I seem to be managing to get one bag set completed in a sitting. Consequently, Millennium Falcon Day 5 resulted in building bag set 5. So far, each bag number consists of four or five bags. Therefore, each bag set in this kit is actually the size of small set. With that said, the fifth set of bags

Millennium Falcon day 4 came and went with the assembly of the fourth bag set. More wonderful Minifigures appeared in the form of young Han Solo and Princess Leia in her Empire Strikes Back attire. The fourth set of bags took one hour and 28 minutes for me to build. The main build here is the escape hatch room. There

UCS Millennium Falcon day 3 coincided with the third set of brick bags. Things got interesting today as recognizable sections of the ship took shape and the first Minifigures appeared. I can tell already that Minifigures will be a contentious issue in my review. Despite the amazing detail this set has, it comes with a paltry number of characters, but

Welcome to my Millennium Falcon day 2 build journal. I am currently documenting the process of building the Ultimate Collector Series Millennium Falcon (75192) by the LEGO® Group. The second day of assembly went much quicker than the first. Whereas day one took almost two hours, today took only 57 minutes. With that said, there is not much to report.

I have embarked on the most epic LEGO® build of my life (so far). I really feel like this project takes my hobby to a whole new level. Consequently, I decided to document the process and share it here at True North Bricks. During the recent double VIP points event, I splurged… big time. As a result, I am now
