Reviewer: Tiffany Newbold,
Very nice product, durable and fun. However, the intermediate set is much smaller than it appears in the pictures, and is better for older kids. If you have kindergarten age kids or younger, go for the jumbo set.

Review Date: January 14, 2009
Reviewer: Rosemary A. Bertinelli, Carbondale, PA United States
Let me begin by saying that this is NOT a toy that you will put on the floor and your child will be engaged for any length of time. This is an absolute parent & me play. Your older children will soon join in too.

The child for whom this toy was purchased is 4.3 to be precise. He can build simple structures and there are plenty of pieces to encourage the imagination expansion. The pictures show robots and other more complicated designs which of course all children want so parents, get ready to build these. These are more complicated and take some time & patience on your part however, your child will remain entertained with the many other pieces (usually the ones you need). The finished product is great and only sturdy enough to stay where built. Your child will NOT be able to pick up and play with the robot. Trying to move the finished masterpiece will result in pieces falling off so remember to tell your child that the point of putting this together is to take it apart as soon as it is completed otherwise there will be huge disappointments.

Great toy for interacting with children. Great toy with which to play together while watching a favorite show with your child...(we dislike the stop and stare at the television business and encourage play or coloring while watching.

Lots of pieces for mom and dad to track so purchase a plastic covered bin so they all stay together.

Our toy was brought by Santa so it has lived in our home for almost 2 months. It has received ample play time as we keep the box close by our television the children most watch. When Luca and I settle down to watch our favorite WonderPets, House of Mouse, or Mickey Mouse Clubhouse he will often ask..."Mommy want to play mangets?"

A winner in our home!

Review Date: January 27, 2009
Reviewer: Golfing Girl, Los Osos, CA, USA
My grandson is 13 and by mistake I ordered a toy for him at Christmas that was for three year olds. As soon as the package arrived I read on the box that it was for younger children so I did not open the box and I returned the package for a refund. I was charged a 15% restocking fee which I think is a rip-off. It is bad enough to pay outrageous shipping and handling fees but then to be charged a restocking fee too is to much. If companies want customers to order on line they need to cut down the expense of mailing and returning items.

Review Date: October 19, 2009
Reviewer: Cheryl K. Shelton, edmonds, WA
The magnets are not strong enough to hold together well. The linking plastic parts are confusing. The toy requires an adult attending and assisting or a child who is determined. Stronger magnets would make it a lot more fun. My three year old said, it is alright. The 5 year old didn't stick with it long enough to create anything he wanted to show me. I attempted the robot that is on the ad and front of the box. As long as it stayed flat on the floor it was together but that wasn't very satisfying and not any fun to play with as a created toy. If I was to try any new type toy again I would start with the smallest set and buy more if the kids really used it.

Product Description

Get ready to battle the dark side with the Ultimate Collector's Millennium Falcon, Lego Star Wars Set 10179. One of Lucas Licensing's favorite Star Wars models in 2007, this replica of Han Solo's famous starship is crafted from over 5,000 Lego pieces. With so many little pieces and such unbelievable detailing, the Millennium Falcon is recommended for advanced Lego builders ages 16 and up.

Detailed, Movie-Accurate Design
The most iconic vessel in the Star Wars universe, the smuggler Han Solo won the Millennium Falcon from fellow rogue Lando Calrissian in a game of sabacc. Every detail of this famous, modified Corellian Engineering Corporation YT-1300 freighter is packed into this model, which is constructed to scale. LEGO mini-figures of Han Solo, Chewbacca, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker, and Princess Leia Organa are included, so you can really replay your favorite scenes. Start off by testing your skills as a pilot and see if you can navigate the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs, the way Han Solo claims to. Later, you'll want to stage an attack on the dangerous Death Star.

Huge, spectacular, and movie-accurate, the Millennium Falcon is the ultimate center piece of any Star Wars or Lego collection. When completed, this model is over 33-inches long, 22-inches wide, and eight-inches tall. Rotating top- and bottom-mounted quad-laser turrets, a radar dish that rotates and can be elevated, and a boarding ramp that can be extended are just some of the cool features included in this model. You can seat a crew of four mini-figures at the controls in the removable cockpit. And landing gear provides a stable base for model to stand on.

Building Your Own Millennium Falcon
With 5,196 Lego pieces, the Millennium Falcon took more than 50 hours to construct. Split between two adult builders and several days, these hours provided a fun time to chat and reminisce about favorite Star Wars moments. We imagine that having the original trilogy playing in the background might have motivated us to construct this starship even faster.

A huge percentage of the pieces come in shades of gray, and approaching construction requires a bit of organization and discipline. This means that building the Millennium Falcon is not a project for the faint of heart, but detailed, step-by-step instructions help ensure that construction is a relatively straightforward process, despite the complexity of the finished model. Once it's built, the Millennium Falcon is sure to inspire awe all around. Collector's will appreciate the display card that allows them to show off ship specs with the model.

What's in the Box
5,195 Lego pieces, instruction booklets, and a collector's display card.

Product Details
