Pros & cons
What I actually noticed.
LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon (UCS)
Pros
- The largest LEGO set ever produced — staggering display presence
- Full interior detail you can actually open up and explore
- Seven minifigures including both classic and TFA crews
- Engineering and paneling are flawless, no shortcuts
- Holds resale value better than almost any other set
Cons
- $850 is a serious commitment
- Footprint is enormous — measure your shelf before you order
- Long build sessions can be physically tiring
LEGO Star Wars TIE Interceptor (UCS)
Pros
- Four-wing dagger silhouette is the most distinctive Imperial design
- Engineering on the wing-pylon junctions is some of the cleanest in any UCS
- Includes a 181st Squadron TIE pilot — the elite Interceptor unit
- Cockpit opens, pilot fits inside
- Smaller footprint than the [Venator](/reviews/venator) or [Devastator](/reviews/devastator) — fits a normal shelf
Cons
- No display alternates (just one stand angle)
- Wing solar panels read as flat compared to film concept art
- Minifigure-only Imperial roster (no named Imperial pilot)
