The biggest Lego set in history is hitting store shelves in October, but just how much will the Millennium Falcon UCS end up costing?
Force Friday is almost here. Preparation for our wallets being a lot lighter has commenced. You might want to tuck away a few dollars for a future Star Wars purchase — that massive Lego set that is going to drop on October 1.
We’re not supposed to know what it is but we totally do (the UCS Millennium Falcon). Beyond what the set is going to be — a fun mystery to unravel — the more pressing question is how much will it set us back?
Right now we don’t have a price, but let’s not hold our collective breath. In a kind world, this set would be high-end but still reasonably affordable. But the world is cruel and we’re likely going to get raked over the financial coals.
Comfortably, I’d be fine paying $899 for this set. Given its scale, however, that might be a conservative price to predict. We could realistically be looking at a set that is north of the $1,000 range, something that we saw with the Death Star II and a few other large scale sets.
That’s absolutely not what we want to happen, but we have to face all possible outcomes here.
Realistically this will be one of, if not the most, expensive Lego sets ever. After all, it’s being highly touted as the largest set in history with Lego going hard in the paint to emphasize the size of this set. Just the other day the company noted that the box will need to be wheeled out of the store, and we estimated the weight to be roughly 20-plus pounds pre-bricked.

The price is going to be the biggest deal out of all this. Of course, we’re going to pony up whatever it takes to get this set, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to like what the final retail price is — let alone the savage trying to double value on the secondary market.
