Smart Play: Millennium Falcon Starship (LEGO 75426)

About this set

This LEGO 75426 set from the LEGO® Star Wars™ line packs 885 pieces at a 3/5 difficulty and builds the Millennium Falcon. The hull is a disc-shaped saucer form with a cylindrical cockpit pod on the side and a top laser cannon, colored mostly gray with red and transparent accents that break up the plating. Four minifigures are included: Han Solo, Chewbacca, C-3PO, and Luke Skywalker, and they can sit in the cockpit for a flight pose. When building, start with the saucer frame and upper and lower armor panels before attaching the side cockpit and top cannon; the curved hull parts go on more smoothly once the skeleton is in place, and the red and transparent details are easiest to add last. At 885 pieces, spreading the build over a few sessions works well, and the 3/5 rating should be manageable for anyone with a few sets under their belt. It suits Star Wars fans, builders who like gray starship silhouettes, and collectors who want minifigures for a scene; if you plan to swoosh it, support the wide saucer from underneath when moving it.
