Now that's a freighter if I've ever seen one!
Look at all the cool details on the sides! It's full of stuff like that!
I can almost hear the engines!
Hour 11 and bag 6 done! I've encountered my first missing piece, and I'm afraid it's a part to connect a later part. I'll see what I can do about it later.

I think you need to open all the bags, put the pieces in a pile of assorted pieces, mix them up and then try to build it.
iAmYourFarjer
no thanks.
Lexakomtrikru
This makes me want to buy one
MaddPainting
I can build one of these faster than you can read "any really long book"
MyNameIsEscher
Have you tried checking the bottom of your shoe for the missing piece? Maybe you stepped on it and only your shoe saved you from the agony.
Ryebread91
Is it that detailed or is 11 hours seem kinda long?
shadowise
You can normally get replacement parts for free via the lego website. I had a missing gear in a Technic set and they sent me one for free.
mixedvegtables
Have you done the Saturn V yet? It’s really detailed
Reini98
Fuck you im poor +1
suddennr1
Now I wanna buy Lego
Whty706
I want one so badly :(
Remmes
Not lining up all the notches the same way bothers me..
HeadlineNews
I want one so bad
VigorousButtstuff
Dude, if someone sends me one of those, I will livestream the whole build, marathon-style. Guaranteed.
paigezero
A missing piece? It must be around somewhere, I've never had a missing piece in an official set, only extras.
StillNotYouTube
Seems like it would be a common occurrence, but it's never happened to me either. Apparently they'll ship a replacement for free though.
paigezero
Yeah, I saw as much in other comments after I posted that, guess I've been lucky.
ThefluteCaptainPicardplayedfirstinhisimaginationtheninreallife
$ 800 and unavailable almost everywhere...
PlayThePixels
Drooling jealously, I can’t seem to find any available anywhere.
wandergeist
I never saw a bag count at the beginning, so I don't know how many more there are left?
INeedMoreGifMeMoreJustOneMore
17 in total!
SalPic
I always upvote Lego.

I got your promise, not a scratch?

Look what my brother did to his

Holy smokes, that's so cool! How did he do it? LED lighting strip with battery pack?
Circlelurk
Yep and voice activated through Google!
kaztas
Awesome! I just got this set. I will keep this in mind!
Jonathan1E00

You should get Harrison Ford to sign it for you.

professornopants
Are there any lego builds of this size that aren't star wars relate? I'd love a weekend build, but I'm that guy that isn't in to star wars.
StillNotYouTube
The Taj Mahal is currently the largest set that isn't star wars. 5,923 pieces and a deal at $370.
StillNotYouTube
6.25 cents/piece compared to 10.6 for the millennium falcon
professornopants
Nice, thanks!
IShatInYourKittyLitter
The amount of times I thought I had a missing piece, only for it to turn up or I realise I stuck it elsewhere.
KeeleonOhms
I have built hundreds of Lego sets and I always say"my god is this finally the one with the missing piece..." it isnt.
StillNotYouTube
The bag system they switched to makes this much easier to figure out.
FredGarvinMP
I agree. Every build has at least one of those moments for me and so far, I’ve always been able to find that little missing bastard.
INeedMoreGifMeMoreJustOneMore
I know, I retraced every step, but it just wasn't there!
AllTheGoodOnesWereGone
It's ALWAYS there. Just gotta keep looking!
Akuuru
It'll be there! Did the standard 2015 Millenium Falcon on xmas day and found the tiniest missing piece stuck behind a sofa seat somehow...
MeanWinchester
Woah, hold the fucking phone. What's this 'too old to get presents' shit? Stow that talk right now!
methos343
this sounds very similar to a conversation i had with my wife!
diabLoDesignz
Im 31 and got a hot wheels slot car track from my mother-in-law. Bets gift since years.
ButtsMcGee86
I've been holding this phone for an hour now, what do you want me to do with it?
Backspackler
Shit.. Iam almost 40, my family still exchanges gifts . My 85 year old grandma gets the most gifts. Her kids and grand kids all give to her
Snotgrot
Happens. I'm 36 and haven't received a christmas or birthday present since I was 18
MeanWinchester
When's your birthday? I'd like to remedy that.
wandergeist
In my family, only kids get presents. No presents from adults to adults. And once you stop really believing in Santa Claus, you're an adult.

Why would you count the hours when building Legothingies?
StillNotYouTube
Interesting to know how long it took. The people going for shortest time are doing it wrong.
TheCakeisALieiKnowiChecked
I did as well. Finished at-st in under 2 hours.
TheBrickumentarian
why not?
CinnamonBunny
I only do that when working. Not when doing something I love.
ISeeNippleWithoutLittleKids
Some folks like the data. I count stair steps everywhere I go. I dunno why. Maybe I'm retarded.
CinnamonBunny
Or a bit asburger?
ISeeNippleWithoutLittleKids
Not at all. Just different.
thatoneopthatdidthething
Records. I built the death star and the super star destroyer, both took approximately 3 days
ThesocialgamerUK
What...that 1000 pound set...in three days. Only rrason I didnt get it was the time it wud take
thatoneopthatdidthething
I was working like 16 hours a day only stopping to eat, sleep and go to the bathroom
turnitoffthenbackonagain
ouch, missing piece - hurts worse than stepping on them
thefancytaco
Then you find it months later in the weirdest place
NewHouse32
Probably the damned hyper drive
LooseyGooseyBrett
I have never had a missing piece. I've been very impressed by that.
INeedMoreGifMeMoreJustOneMore
Yeah man, if it's really crucial, I'm gonna cry :D
megmegmegmeg
Go to their website and fill the form in. We had our missing piece replaced in about a week for free!
TheBrickumentarian
@OP what kind of piece is it?
botlaw
Plus side- LEGO CS will replace the piece if you call and let them know. Down side- weeks wait. Hopefully it’s something you have stock of.
Samppatsu
You do not even have to call them, just fill the form on their website and let them know what piece you are missing, that's what I did.
Muffyns
I bought a set of something once, missing part was something I had to use to continue any building at all, by time I got the piece I no
Muffyns
Longer had any interest in building x.x
raduque
Those random details are called "greebles".
ActuallyBaffled
And nurnies.
wandergeist
In movie model building, sure. But on the real Millennium Falcon, they're modifications that Han Solo made himself.
raduque
No such thing as a "real" aluminum falcon.
LloydMadel
Why would Han add random shovels and phones on the millennium falcon?
NobodyReally3
If he gets snowed in and needs to call a tow fighter?
LloydMadel
Smart.
