This one has been on my wishlist since it came out in 2004. Quite possibly one of the coolest ships ever. I found it on Bricklink for a really good deal because the set was incomplete (missing the figures and a few parts). It has taken a few weeks for the replacement parts to trickle in, but it's finally ready.
"She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts."
Han and Chewie both fit in the cockpit...
I don't remember this from the movie, but there's an escape pod on one side...
Luke is operating the turrets.
R2 is tending to the hyperdrive engine. I put in a seat for Obiwan and added a couple of clips to hold his and Luke's lightsabers.
Leia and C3PO at the holo-chess table...
A storage compartment (for smuggling, no one would ever think to look there...). The black disks are supposed to have stickers on them like the other two. Unfortunately the sticker sheet is going for about $15 on Bricklink right now, so they may stay black for a while.
The ramp even goes up and down when you pull on the end "thingy".
It's not the built-to-minifig-scale UCS version, but I think it's just the right size to actually play with. Rumor has it there will be a 10th Anniversary edition of the Falcon, but if the leaked photos are accurate, it's smaller than this set and doesn't actually fit any minifigs. Where's the fun in that?? In my book, this is by far the best Lego version of the Millennium Falcon.
