The Star Wars license saved the LEGO company from bankruptcy back in 1999, and LEGO has been returning the favor ever since by designing its most elaborate, detailed sets in homage to the franchise. The best LEGO Star Wars sets are one-of-a-kind. And nothing encapsulates LEGO’s committment to quality more than the LEGO Millennium Falcon.
As a ship, the Millennium Falcon is instantly recognizable. Its ethos – that its shabby exterior conceals its elite power and flying ability – is an apt parallel for the outlaws, smugglers, and ne’er-do-wells who populate the Outer Rim. By precisely engineering the Falcon to look like it’s coming apart, the LEGO designers take this irony this one step further.
Today, we’re looking back at every LEGO Millenium Falcon from the past 25 years. We’re not including the advent calendar trinkets, the mini gimmick sets, or the gift giveaways; just the larger, dedicated play sets and display sets that were purchaseable, in the stores, by themselves. And at the end of the article, we’ll discuss the four LEGO Millennium Falcons currently on sale and give you some buying recommendations.
Every LEGO Millennnium Falcon Currently on Sale
Here are links to every LEGO Millennium Falcon you can currently buy from reputable retailers. Many more from LEGO history have been retired, so let’s dive in.
Millennium Falcon (2000 – Retired)
Set: #7190Age Range: 8-12Piece Count: 659Release Date: 2000Price: $99.99
The very first LEGO Millennium Falcon took flight a little over 25 years ago. It was rudimentary by modern standards, but it still managed to capture the silouhette of its inspiration. It came with six minifigures (Luke, Leia (first minifigure depiction!), Han, Chewie, R2-D2, C-3PO) and its cannon turrets rotated to blast incoming TIE Fighters. It had a playset interior, which was covered by the top of the Falcon like a potlid.
Millennium Falcon (2004 – Retired)
Set: #4504Age Range: 9+Piece Count: 984Release Date: 2004Price: $99.99
The next Millennium Falcon had a Hoth theme, and it included an Imperial snowtrooper in weather-appropriate gear along with Leia and Han in their costumes from The Empire Strikes Back. For the first time, the designers gave the LEGO Falcon external triangular flaps, which you could pull back to reveal the interior furnishings. They’ve continued to use and improve this design choice ever since.
Ultimate Collector’s Millennium Falcon (2007 – Retired)
Set: #10179Age Range: 16+Piece Count: 5197Release Date: 2007Price: $499.99
This was the first massively scaled LEGO Millennium Falcon, and it was the biggest LEGO set ever designed at the time, with 5197 pieces. It measured close to three feet long and two feet wide, and it stayed on sale for three years before retiring in 2010.
Mid-Scale Millennium Falcon (2009 – Retired)
Set: #7778Age Range: 8-14Piece Count: 356Release Date: 2009Price: $39.99
Built for display rather than play, this mid-sized model didn’t have an interior or minifigures. Instead, it was an adult-targeted budget build that took up less room than its Ultimate Collector big brother and for a fraction of the price.
Millennium Falcon (2011 – Retired)
Set: #7965Age Range: 9-14Piece Count: 1254Release Date: 2011Price: $139.99
Another playset with a furnished interior, this model depicted the Falcon as seen in A New Hope. It came with both an Obi-Wan figure and a Darth Vader figure so you could stage the climactic hangar battle.
Millennium Falcon (2015 – Retired)
Set: #75105Age Range: 9-14Piece Count: 1330Release Date: 2015Price: $149.99
This is the first Falcon playset that based itself on the sequel trilogy – specifically, The Force Awakens. As such, it included minifigures for Poe, Finn, and Rey, along with minifigures for old Han and Chewie. At the time that Finn and Rey boarded it, the Falcon had sat, unused, in the junkyard for years. This LEGO model displayed evidence of neglect, with differently colored bricks on the ship’s exterior. This model also kept the rectangular dish, which replaced the classic circular dish at some point between Episode VI and Episode VII.
UCS Millennium Falcon (2017 – Available)
Set: #75192Age Range: 16+Piece Count: 7541Dimensions: 8 inches high, 33 inches long, 23 inches wideRelease Date: 2017Price: $849.99
The most definitive LEGO depiction of the Millennium Falcon to date, the 2017 rendition weighs in at 7541 pieces, and it costs $850. In addition to its fully realized interior, the model contained both the classic trilogy and the sequel trilogy characters (as well as a swappable sensor dish) depending on your preference. It was, at the time of its release, both the biggest and the most expensive LEGO set ever made.
Today, among sets available for purchse, it ranks #2 for most expensive and #4 for highest piece count. It is nine years old, which makes it one of the oldest LEGO sets currently in distribution. And as surprising as that is – LEGO would typically retire a set like this one years ago – it also makes sense. What set would they even create to replace it?
Kessel Run Millennium Falcon (2018 – Retired)
Set: #75212Age Range: 9-14Piece Count: 1414Release Date: 2018Price: $169.99
Based on the Falcon as seen in Solo: A Star Wars Story, this model depicts the ship in its prime, when Lando still owned it before losing it to Han in a game of Sabacc. In addition to a blue-and-white exterior color scheme, it also has its original escape pod, which you can detach from the front of the Falcon to return the model to its classic, notched appearance.
Millennium Falcon (2019 – Retired)
Set: #75257Age Range: 9+Piece Count: 1353Release Date: 2019Price: $159.99
The 2019 edition of the Falcon launched in conjunction with The Rise of Skywalker, and accordingly, it included minifigures of Finn, Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian, C-3PO, Boolio, R2-D2, and D-O. It is, by my approximation, the best Falcon playset of this size. Its proportions, as well as it’s overall presentation, are truest to the proportions of the actual ship.
Unfortunately, there isn’t a classic Falcon build, at this size, that’s currently available for purchase as of April 2026. And this set, awesome as it was, retired in 2024.
Millennium Falcon (25th Anniversary) (2024)
Set: #75375Age Range: 18+Piece Count: 921Dimensions: 5 inches high, 9.5 inches long, 7.5 inches wideRelease Date: 2024Price: $84.99
Currently available for purchase, this is another midi-sized set (between minifigure-scaled and microfigure-scaled) that emphasizes display over interactivity. LEGO released it to celebrate the 25th anniversary of A New Hope. You can mount it on a buildable stand, and it would look great on any shelf or work desk.
Dark Falcon (2024)
Set: #75389Age Range: 10+Piece Count: 1579Dimensions: 5 inches high, 17 inches long, 12.5 inches wideRelease Date: 2024Price: $179.99
This is a cool playset, based on the Disney Plus special LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy, that imagines an alternate reality: What if the Jedis were Siths and the Siths were the Jedis? The Dark Falcon comes with alternate universe versions of Darth Jar Jar and Jedi Vader. The Falcon itself has a black and red color scheme with a Death Star laser mounted on its top.
Millennium Falcon (Smart Play) (2026)
Set: #75426Age Range: 9+Piece Count: 885Dimensions: 3.5 inches high, 10.5 inches long, 9 inches wideRelease Date: 2026Price: $99.99
This version of the Falcon is compatabile with the new LEGO Smart Brick. When you insert the brick into the build, the Falcon becomes motion sensitive, and it will respond when you fly it around and shoot its laser cannons. We reviewed the Smart Play sets if you’d like to know more. We found them to be a cool gimmick, but also an intimidatingly expensive one.
How Many Millennium Falcon Sets Are Currently On Sale?
As of April 2026, there are four LEGO Millennium Falcon sets available for purchase.
Which Millennium Falcon Should I Buy?
It depends on what you’re looking for. The 25th Anniversary set is the most affordable and functions as a small display. The Dark Falcon playset is incredible, but unfortunately, if you’re looking for a default ‘regular universe’ Falcon, there is none currently available within the same price range. The UCS Millennium Falcon is one of LEGO’s crown jewels, but $850 is a lot of money. And the enjoyability of the Smart Play Falcon is conditional; you have to buy into the Smart Play system (including a starter set) to get the full benefit of it.
Personally, I love the retired 2019 version the best, but good luck finding it at retail price; most retired sets are marked up based upon their perceived rarity. Still, it doesn’t hurt to check around at online retail outlets. You might get lucky.
