10179 Ultimate Collector's Millennium Falcon

10179 Ultimate Collector's Millennium Falcon is a 5,197 piece classic Star Wars released in July 2007 for $500.00. It includes Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Chewbacca, and Princess Leia.
== Description ==
At the time of release, it was recorded to be the largest set ever produced by LEGO, measuring 33" (84 cm) long by 22" (56 cm) wide and 8.3" (21 cm) tall. It has been designed to be to scale with the minifigures, unlike most other Ultimate Collector's Series sets. The model is very intricate in detail with many special SNOT (Studs Not On Top) techniques involved in the front "mandibles", mimicking Star Wars technology and architecture. Upon its release in 2007, the UCS Falcon was the largest LEGO set ever produced (a title later given to the 10189 Taj Mahal in 2008 and the 75192 Millennium Falcon in 2017) with more than 5000 pieces and a 316-page instruction manual. The first copies of this set sold through LEGO.com received a special first edition certificate of authenticity.
