It's here! The Tested team gathers to put together LEGO's largest set ever: the new UCS Millennium Falcon! This set belongs to guest Tommy Williamson of Bricknerd, and we review the build and compare it to the previous UCS Falcon that was released 10 years ago. Turns out it's a very different model, both inside and out.

Thanks for watching!
Check out our most popular LEGO video: Adam Savage Builds the LEGO NASA Apollo Saturn V! ua-cam.com/video/UxtUrloLlm8/v-deo.html
Ap fools?
I know folks are upset we took apart the instructions but there was no choice as the set only arrived the evening before the build and LEGO has not released the PDF yet. In order for an sorters/pickers and an interior/exterior team to be working we had to do it. Luckily it's spiral bound and can be reassembled. Also, the box was pretty squished during shipping.
Sean Charlesworth cool build & fun to watch but a little lackluster boys. i challenge you guys to combine the 2 sets (or however many you needs) & build the super, mega, ultimate millennium falcon set. now that would be a kick ass Lego build.
Turn the instructions in to a cool wall art gallery. Wow 12 he with how many people building?
I love watching stuff with Adam Savage in it because he's SOOO passionate about everything he does.
Now that's what I call Lego! The whole squad has formed for this special moment.
Michael Simons Yeah 800 dollar lego sets do that. Jesus Christ I want so bad 800 is so much money.
I own one of these myself. What an extraordinary journey putting this all together!! Because we have the option to use whichever dish you choose, I do hope the creator of this set will build and release a separate attachment for the front of the Falcon like we've seen in trailers for Solo: A Star Wars Story....
I somehow managed to order one of these on the lego site for my birthday in April 2018 after being out of stock since its release. I flew down to see my folks for a week and it arrived the day after flew back home. I waited another four months until I got the leave to go down and build it. Took me about 15 hours. Best lego therapy ever.
Does anyone else try and build some random object with all the extra pieces left over after completing a set?
Vegaspsycho YES. Or buying a Mixels set and trying to make something else using every piece.
I've created a wearable Lego mask, the Eye of Agamotto and the Sling Ring from Doctor Strange out of Lego for cosplaying.
From which set exactly, did you get enough extra pieces to build all that?
Extra pieces? I thought that all pieces need to be used.
Must have skipped several steps. Lego never sends extra pieces. But, they never miss any pieces either.
I think Adam had a great idea for a future episode! Can you guys do an interview with the project lead of this set?
When will Adam visit LEGO.. now that would be a cool little trip to Denmark...
+
Claus Kristensen great idea!
Tested, make it so!
Gotta take Sean. Sean's the Lego afficcienado.
Patrick Connors take everyone but Norm. Norms the kinda guy who would try and pick up a large section of the Lego World display simply to get his oily mitts on something because he can't see even with those glasses. Norms the kinda guy who would pick up a wet oil painting without asking the artist if it's okay to man handle their possessions. Norms the kinda guy who dresses up like a woman in all his free time.
at the beginning there were 7 and 3 died in the process of building this falcon and only 4 remain to tell the tale
So cool to see that Adam and Grant are the only two who survived the Mythbusters breakup and now have a youtube channel together! Thumbs up!
"We have no idea what's inside this box"
Yes you do, Norm, stop being so dramatic.
Throw it at the wall Norm. RIP Super star destroyer.

Alluded video:

$800 = 7541 pieces; so each piece is about 11 cents.
Lego pays a huge amount to their government. Which is why only the rich can afford lego. The rest of us can enjoy the films and games.
Adam said on the podcast that $0.10/piece or so seems to be the standard price for the big Lego sets.
With that higher price also comes the highest quality of any brick building toy. No one holds a candle to Lego.
Depends. Star Wars tends to be higher, because they pay licensing cost. In-house projects like the Ninjago City which is UCS in all but name, is close to 7c/brick
Very fair P/P ratio... the average is about 10 cents per piece.
All right guys, lets see Tested do the Bandai 1/72 Millennium Falcon Perfect Grade model kit build retailing for about $400 when it comes out.
LOL
I hope they are gonna release a bigger death star someday, or even better. USS Enterprise A through E.
The force is strong with these gentlemen. Sensational build!
Just for perspective, I completed this set alone and it took me 38 hours total spread out over a week.
Pretty much the same here, I just finished mine, spread out over 16 days, took somewhere around 40 hours (didn't time myself, a quick guesstimate.) Still amazed with how big it is and still haven't found a good way to lift it yet.
Something cool about having little stealth panels to reveal unexpected goodies on the model of a smuggler's ship.
Once I figured out that if I turned the annotations off, the Tested logo wouldn't cover up the clock, I loved the video.
I knew Adam was a star wars fan....but never knew he liked lego as well....pretty cool!! Makes me like him even more...if that was even possible.
actually the docking on the new model is more correct. If you look at images of the in universe falcon, you will see that the very edge is circular, then turn into that hexagonal shape that is carried into the center of the ship which is what the new model does
Wouldn't it be great if Lego released team building instructions for their big sets?
David Norris lego does that for every set they publish. You can download any instruction manual from Lego or other sites if it is a set from previous seasons.
I love how friendly you guys all are. Sweet build !
I love how these guys are so passionate about LEGO. This video brings me back into my childhood.
It would crazy to.... ya know... have that many friends
To be fair, most of these people were paid to do this.
It would be crazy to actually have this set
I'd just like to say I noticed and appreciated the camera motion during the time lapse
For people who don't have the skill to build something impressively detailed themselves, I like Lego for its ability to grant that to anyone who wants that feeling of building something and the accomplishment rush you get when it all comes together.
I don't get Adam's delight with the building as much. He's in a whole other league where he actually can make the models that the movies will use. So the hand holding manual and paint by numbers design strikes me as something Adam would enjoy seeing the final build of but not the building. But I'm totally wrong, he even loves the prep.
I wonder if its a character flaw in me that I want to build one from scratch out of something. I have made 3D models but those are easy and not much harder than lego once you get going. I must learn to appreciate that delight in just doing shit, anything creative.
Recently picked up my copy of this model. I had $260 or so in Lego VIP credit, so the price was a bit cheaper than $800, but still the most expensive single Lego purchase I've made (prior to that was the $499 Death Star, purchased due to 2x VIP points being offered). Still working on the Death Star, when that is finished, I'll be starting the UCS Falcon. I can only spend a few hours a week building, so it will take me over a month to finish the Falcon, I'm sure. But it will be enjoyable! :)
This is an awesome lego set. Just got it and can't wait to start building it.
Adam rocking that straw fedora.
Just so wholesome to see a group of grown men admire a giant Lego set together and point out all the same little details that a guy like me notices.
Next to the Lego porsche 911, this is one of my favorite sets. It's so detailed
Soo wish I could have, and build that, and that last part of the time lapse where you put the top on was just so gorgeous.
I had lego when I was a child but at 39 I bought my first lego set and it was this UCS Falcon, it took me 40hours to build as a relative novice at building but it was well worth the money.
These are over $1000 on Ebay Australia lol. At first I was like "looks meh" as I'm not a huge fan of Lego but this was pretty amazing. What really stands out to me is how stringent Lego's quality control must be to get every single piece into this set (maybe they ship spare pieces in it?). But damn that was crazy!
Good to see Tested going over this set--but I must add, Norm's shirt is a lovely sort of simple, very awesome.
I appreciate you guys editing out the 11 1/2 hours of knolling.
I'm in love with that lego space shirt
Almost 5 years later and I'm still lusting after this kit. Really hoping to finally buy one before Lego retires it. I bought my wife the Disney Castle for Mother's Day (she loves it), so *maybe* I'll convince her that we need a massive Millennium Falcon displayed in our home somewhere. Want. So. Badly!!!
The logistics of how they managed to have two people building at once with other people finding the parts is insane.
I built this when I was younger, took me a couple months. Had to sell it and my whole collection when I enlisted, cool to see other people appreciate t
Seen this a couple of times, and I'm digging that shelf unit in the background. Very Unique!
I attended the midnight launch of the 75192 - Millennium Falcon on Wednesday at Leicester Square, London. It was a pleasure meeting both Jens Kronvold Frederiksen, Director of LEGO Star Wars & Michael Lee Stockwell, Designer Manager of LEGO Star Wars.
A family member of mine is building one right now. Quite awesome.
At least I get to enjoy watching you guys build this.
I don't think I'll ever have the spending cash to ever buy this set.
What the hell is an aluminium falcon?
It’s the ship that made the kettle run in less than 12 parsecs.
@@inkdreams5113 *less than 12 part sects
DerKaiser it’s parsecs
@@Bountifulloot895 It's sarcasm. Dude I responded to called it the Kettle Run. Y'know, as in a _joke_
DerKaiser I didn’t notice that by ink lmao my bad g
$899.99 CAD for those who are wondering. That said it will likely be even more if you want to get one since they will fly off the shelves and you will likely have to buy one from someone who bought a bunch just to flip them on ebay.
All the eBay scalping is speculative and cashing in on impatience. UCS sets are not limited run, the last Falcon was available for 3 years and in stock at S&H for almost the entire run. Even if this sells out in October, everyone who wants one at Christmas will be able to buy one.
I haven't touched legos in at least 16 years, but damn it I really want this set.
Nevermind: I just finished the video. No SWOOSHING, No BUY!
11 hours so what 60+ man hours which brings it down to 10-15 bucks an hour-ish. Well that's a shit load of value right there for entertainment! Love it - better to beg for forgiveness, than ask for permission "oh wifey! I have some neeewws..."
"What a piece of junk!" - Luke Skywalker
That is the most beautiful LEGO set I've ever seen. What an awesome team build, how long would a solo build take...
Wow, that's an intense build!
Adam is just sitting there playing around while the guys talk... Don't change Adam
The docking bays need a revision. Unfortunately that's a killer for me. To me small details make the model. This oversight is strange to me. I also don't like how the surrounding engine parts are bowed slightly. *although that may be a detail I've missed in the movies and games but I doubt it.
Really hoping that a new Lord of the Rings line comes out with an UCS Barad-Dur set
Going back to this, I'd like to see Adam's take on a display case for this beast.
That was fun to watch.
I have no need to build it.
Now.
Saved myself a lot of money.
get yourself the lego digital designer program that's free to download online and build it that way.
I watched this, while listening to John Williams' score. So awesome.
That time lapse was so cool
You all look so damn happy!!!
I NEED THIS!!! For nerds by nerds! they know me too well! Im trying to make the move to Gunpla.
Lego need to put out a Nostromo. Yes my beautiful wife bought me this for Christmas. This year!!!!! I HAVE TO WAIT 7 MONTHS! ARGH!!!!
This is what you call a display piece not for kids I definitely would like to get myself one I have a Star Wars room collection and this would look great on a table
Adam, wouldn't that be, "Tom Sawyered into completing your Falcon?" I get what you were saying regardless. Neat video! Glad you guys had fun.
Thank you so much.
I love original Lego building. Without special effects pieces. Imagination is fed by .. IMAGINING. But I'd love either one.
Just got mine and just watching the timelapse with all you guys this looks like it's going to be daunting for one person but I think this is going to fun.
I received my Lepin set the other day. I can't wait to assemble it.
I love how organized this is
I'm glad they did another one. At least the old model keeps it's value.
When I was a kid, I thought the Galaxy Explorer kit was huge. Sheesh.
One of my coworkers is planning to buy it. I guess he will have a lot of fun building this little wonder ^^
Amazed this video is already up.
As a guy who's not into Lego, but really into the falcon, I can say that the old one has a much better shape. The new one is way too flat and the cockpit and radar dish look too small.
Now Adam, it is time to build and review the bandai perfect grade falcon!!!!
Both of them are cool. I wouldn't chose one as better one. Nice build guys.
lol half way through the timelapse Adam decides " Ah Screw this let my minions do the rest"
WOW! Simply INSANE but I LOVE IT! Thank you so much for this video! Well done! Again, WOW!
7:04 "me personally"
Red Letter Media has ruined this phrase (for me personally)
That's like the best conversation starter ever
I just built this set. What I enjoy about this most, is that with the number of spare pieces available, and the nature of this model, there's lots of opportunities to add even more greebles and details. With most lego sets there is always some opportunities to add some bits of customizations and the UCS Falcon is particularly excellent in this regard to allow some creative freedom in particular for going totally bananas on greebles.
Heres some additonal detail I added that connects the exposed engine details to the surface using similar build techniques in the model already:
imgshare.io/image/20200326-142915.VPWj6
For me one of the most fun parts is going over the entire structure and looking at places where it feels like it could look better with a vent, slope, or additional bits of details. In fact in keeping with the model build style, I borrowed some greebling methods from the model itself in any small cosmetic changes I made on my Millennium Falcon.
The only gripe I have about this set, is that I felt the cockpit was very lacklustre. Still trying to figure out how to improve this tiny space which barely fits 4 figures but this is a small gripe over an overall fantastic model. I just feel the cockpit may have been designed better particularly the instrument clusters and little details. This whole part in my opinion could have been designed better. That middle slope definitely could use some kind of detail or a sticker to add more instruments detail IMO.
I made a small change borrowing a part from my UCS snowspeeder and it definitely looks better inside the cockpit with the additional instrumentation.

I dont think I have ever clicked so fast on a Tested video.
0:48 Adam killed me with that side view lmao
FINALLY got this in my store, grabbing one for myself and will lock myself in a room for some days :P
I built that model ALONE and needed 11 hours and 56 minutes just for building it (I pre-sorted the parts). So I don't think these guys did that very fast. The total time including unboxing and sorting was 17 hours 36 minutes.
I love the fact the a group of grown men broke into groups to put together a lego set. NEAT.
Missed opportunity for a epic quote at 10:53
You guys deserve more subscribers
Whole Tested team, no Simone. RIP
At least there is what appears to be Norm's wife in the background at 6:17...
Scott G She never really fit in did she? Was nice to see a new face though. She's doing fine on her own. :-)
Frank?
Jamie
john bryant who?
My inner 12 year old WANTS it!!
my inner 32 year old wants this...
all of my inner and outer ages want it
Never grow up, it's a trap.
My inner 12 year old NEEDS IT!!!
I don't wanna grow up.
I'm a fuckin' toys r us kid.
I cant believe even Gunther helped!
They couldn't even let Norm talk, the excitement was too high... Great set btw, I wish I had the moneys.
Now wait for the UCS Star Destroyer (On the Falcon box a silhouette of a Star Destroyer, on last years Death Star it had a silhouette of the Falcon)
this box set is madness
When he said "tons" of minifigs 😂
You can always tell who the science guy is by the fact they wince whenever the quote 'Made the kessel run in 12 parsecs' is said.
A fine addition to my collection
I'd love to see a video on how you guys got those amazing time lapse tracking shots. What kind of rig did you use for that?
I would set it on a shelf with the panels on half of the ship to appear to be peeling back by hanging them on fishing string
i wish i could afford something like that, that is my dream lego set. oh and the apollo set too, but mainly this one. i have the small falcon but ive always wanted the larger much more detailed model.
you dont have $800 or you just don't want to pay $800?
Awesome review guys. Mine will be at my house Tuesday. Can't wait to build it!
I had the same issues. I was refreshing the site and hour before launch and then right at launch time the site started crashing, buggy, and server errors. Luckily it responded enough that 5 min after launch I was able to put it in my bag. Then for the next 1.5 hours I fought the site from 4 different web browsers (Chrome ended up working best) and after getting part of the way through checkout several times I was finally able to get through the process. I think me getting it in my bag early help. every time I got booted it would away be in my bag already.
This lego set alone is better than all of Rise of Skywalker
i kind of liked it, watched it 3x
A lovely set guys, here in New Zealand we pay $1500NZD which bites.
