Update: FINALLY built this set and it is an AMAZING build! Some notes about how this is packaged. if you purchase this set pay close attention to the tape that seals the box. One side is red and the other green to note open on the green taped side. This puts the manual at the top of the box so it is easily lifted out. Open the box with that side up to prevent the manual from falling out and possibly damaging pages. One the manual is removed, four boxes are located inside with each containing 1/4 of the Millennium Falcon pictured when the boxes are together. One each box is a quote from STAR WARS about the Falcon.
Each of the four boxes contains sets of bags. Surprisingly the bags aren't in order by box. There are 17 bags for the set. The Lego 1989 Batmobile has 24 bags with less than half the pieces of the Falcon. There are multiple bags for each number so there could be 4 to 5 bags labeled as bag 1. So MANY more bags than just 17 technically. They at least kept all the same numbered bags in the same box so you will find all of bag 1 in a single box and not some in one box and the remainder in others. You will find like bag 1 in one box but bag 2 in another. There are also some unmarked bags for some of the larger and higher count pieces.
The first two bags build the frame. Bags 3-9 build out the internal components of the ship and the outside outline of the ship. The hull of the ship top and underneath is assembled in in sections and independent of the frame so you can set aside the large frame as the hull is assembled and installed in sections until the end of the build. The manual as well as videos on the Lego site show how to carry/relocate the set. Caution should be exercised in carrying it or the integrity of the build can be affected or parts can crumble away. Top hull simply lay on in sections are have one technic piece that fits into another technic piece in the frame. The detail looks amazing. it is a display piece and it not for play as some Lego can be. There are some MOC instructions or Lego stands are available to display this beast on its side but the landing feet typically mist be removed to do so. There are also plexiglass of plastic stands out there are well. it certainly will take up less space displaying on its side but if there is room and in my opinion it looks great in "landed" position.
It's not the biggest Lego in piece count anymore since the Coliseum was released but it does still seem to hold the record for the most expensive set and may also occupy more space than the Coliseum. I have not purchased the USC Star Destroyer but think the Falcon is a much better set because ti does have internal details. The Star Destroyer is $100 less with a much higher price per piece. More than likely the higher per piece is due to the number large pieces involved. There's way more detail to the Falcon than Star Destroyer so the Falcon has a higher recommendation in my opinion. If you you're an avid Lego fan and don't mind the price, it's recommended to pick this up while it's still available and at regular pricing (at least directly from Lego) before it retires.
Original:
I have to admit, it hasn't been built yet. Currently it is saved either as a collectible or the ultimate build when the time is right but the set is amazingly huge. The box is approximately 25-30lbs. up until the Lego Colosseum was released, it was the largest Lego set by piece count. It may still hold the record as the most expensive set released to date and possibly the largest in size/diameter. That may take a little more measuring to ensure that's the case but over 7500 pieces is amazing.
It comes in a large square box with three smaller boxes with printed images inside. Surprisingly it has only 19 bags for this many pieces. The Lego 1989 Batmobile has approximately 3300 pieces and has 24 bags. Instructions for handling this beast are given. There are only certain ways to pick it up and move it around so it's not designed to be a play set. Some MOC creators design stands to display it on it's side for better viewing and to take up less display space. That's an option if you want to take this set on but have limited space to display. Picked this up at normal pricing as many sellers are now overpricing this set that is still available from Lego and has not retired yet.

Absolutely worth every penny!
This is a massive lego set but so much fun to put together and looks amazing once complete. It is difficult to move but that is because it is so large. I would recommend getting a stand and light set to go with it as those are worth the additional money and add a lot of "flavor" to the lego set as well. 100% satisfaction for sure.

Be prepared to spend a ton of time building this, I don't think I even really know how much time I spent on it, but every minute of it was so much fun. I finished it ~13 days after I started it, but I worked on it in the morning, during breaks and at night after the kids went to bed.
I highly suggest getting some trays to put the pieces into for each step, I bought (2) trays and would open the bags and put all the larger parts into one of the trays and the smaller parts into the other tray and that really sped up the process. I only started that on maybe day 3 and it was a lot smoother once I did.
The other big suggestion that I have would be to look ahead a few steps in the instructions each time you are starting a new piece/section; there were a couple times you could build duplicates of pieces, but it only showed you on the last step. That didn't happen very many times, usually the first step would show you x2 and you could build the multiple pieces at the same time, but I definitely got caught by that at least once.
Make sure you have a big area to build, I used a larger coffee table to build on and the couch to keep the unopened bags on. If you have small kids be careful, there are lots of small parts around during the build and it would be easy for them to get ahold of them.
A lot of people asked me what was the point of all the detail on the inside of the Millennium Falcon once the top was on. Each of the panels comes off the top to expose all the details on the inside, so you can take a look at things later or leave a couple panels off if you want to. I would recommend taking pictures when you are assembling those sections of where the connecting rods go so you remember how to put it back together when you do that them off. There is definitely a certain order it needs to be done in so that all the pieces lay properly.
If you are going to get a stand or case, know that all of them require you to remove if not all of the landing pads most of the landing pads, which kind of sucks, but it definitely helps with the foot print in the end if you are going to display it.
Overall I highly recommend this set if you are into Star Wars and enjoy a more complicated build. I had a lot of fun building it and love having it to display in my office!
This is an awesome addition to any Star Wars set. By far the best build I've ever done!

I mean where do you even start with this? This is an AMAZING build, I had so much fun building this and was up way too late for a lot of nights working on it. There is SO much detail throughout the entire set, it is so well thought out and the attention to every little detail is awesome. Take lots of pictures throughout the build to reference later if you need to put something backReviewed in the United States on October 31, 2022

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2023
This has been on my wishlist since it came out, and I finally decided to get it before it gets retired. Everything about this is huge, the box, the instruction manual, the price (LOL) and the final product. It took me about 2 1/2 weeks to build, 2-3 hour sessions, some days off. I found that the steps that need to be done 2x (or more) are easier to do all at once vs going back and starting over, just need to pay attention to how many pieces will be needed. In most of the initial construction phases, it's easy to lift the model up by the internal framework, right where the gun turrets are/will be. Once it's completed, this technique also applies, and the topside gun turret just pulls right out. This is not a playable "fly it around the living room" type of kit. It weighs 35 lbs (@16 kilos), many panels are held on by gravity, and there's a LOT of little knick-knack detail pieces that can easily come off. All in all a great build, had lots of fun doing it. I ended up getting an acrylic stand from Wicked Brick, and was able to easily mount it without assistance.
