A Short History of the Millenium Falcon
“You know, that ship’s saved my life quite a few times. She’s the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy!” — Lando Calrissian.
The Millennium Falcon has a rich and storied history. Originally manufactured as a Corellian Engineering Corporation YT-1300 light freighter, it gained fame under the ownership of Lando Calrissian before being won by Han Solo in a game of sabacc. Solo extensively modified the Falcon, enhancing its speed, weaponry, and shielding, turning it into one of the galaxy’s fastest and most formidable ships.
The Falcon played a pivotal role in the Rebel Alliance’s victory against the Galactic Empire, aiding in the destruction of both Death Stars before eventually finding its way into Rey’s ownership on her journey to join the Resistance and their battle against The First Order.
Initially conceived by conceptual designer Joe Johnson, the unique Millennium Falcon starship has become one of the most recognisable symbols from the Star Wars franchise.
What Are The Best Options For Displaying the UCS Millennium Falcon 75192?
LIVING ROOM COFFEE TABLE
This special custom-made display unit is designed to showcase the model on a raised base, with additional room for a display stand (sold separately). If you are looking for something truly sophisticated as a fun, pop-culture centrepiece, there’s nothing better.
The presentation unit is constructed from extra-thick 6mm clear acrylic and secured with sturdy KDF screw fittings. The acrylic feet and extended top panel also offer an unparalleled sense of style that suits any home interior. Thanks to the reliable construction, the display can also be used as a coffee table, supporting the weight of mugs, books… or even more LEGO sets!
If you ever feel like switching things around, this furniture-style display unit also accommodates models from other franchises, such as the Hot Toys Back to the Future DeLorean Time Machine.
MID-FLIGHT GALACTIC JOURNEY SCENE
We think this is the display case Han Solo would choose. After all, what better way to exhibit the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs?
The upper sections of the UCS Millennium Falcon are stunning to look at, and this vertically-orientated display stand and display case combo allows the model to be viewed side-on as if flying through space. The illusion is enhanced by an optional pre-applied vinyl backdrop, which shows space and the stars with a lightspeed effect. The case is also available with or without the background and stand.
HORIZONTAL, SPACE-SAVING DISPLAYS
These large display cases are designed to store and display the UCS Millennium Falcon with an eye to taking up less room than the Coffee Table or tall vertical display. The horizontal display case is ideal for showcasing the model at a gentle angle, while the similar standard display case can be used for showing the model sat in the hangar, resting on its distinctive landing struts. Both options are available with a choice of a glossy black or white base.
TRANSPARENT DISPLAY STANDS
If you’re not fussed about keeping your UCS Millennium Falcon model stored away from dust, these clear display stands are the presentation solutions you’re looking for.
The original 2in1 Display Stand MK1 allows the model to be shown off in two positions (angle off vertical and angle off horizontal), though the landing gear struts need to be removed before affixing the set to the stand. If you’re looking for more flexibility, then the new-for-2023 2in1 Display Stand MK2 will hold your model at multiple angles without having to remove the landing feet.
