Starwars Millennium Falcon Review (Lego Set 7965)

This is one of my all-time favourite Lego sets and I have wanted it since it came out last year. It has a sturdy build and has no real fragile bits and is easy to pick up and play with. It is also quite light and easy to handle for its size. The space inside is quite large and there is a lot of room to play with the mini figures (which are greatly detailed). The computer station is my favourite part of the interior and as the computer pieces are printed bricks they will last longer. Overall this is an amazing set and well worth the price. 

Summary

Pros:

Strong construction. Mini figures are greatly detailed. Includes new Darth Vader figure. Opens up to play with. Cool Weapons including the new crossbow colour Authentic top and bottom cannons on the Falcon Places to sit the mini figures. Blast helmet for Luke and place to store it. Cool computer station 

Cons:

Flick missiles on bottom not needed

Landing gear does not retract
R2-D2 and C-3PO instead of Darth Vader

Editors Note:- To our great surprise, Ben had this set built in less than a day! - Notwithstanding Bens obvious love of Lego and building skills, for anyone to build it that quickly, we conclude that the instructions must be at least reasonable to understand!

It appears this set has very big thumbs up from Ben!
