Article Summary

The 75257 Millennium Falcon retired at the end of 2024, so the old UCS-or-standard question has a new answer. In 2026 the choice is the UCS Millennium Falcon (75192), expected to leave LEGO on December 31, the 18+ Starship Collection Falcon (75375) for a shelf, or the SMART Play compatible Falcon (75426) for children.

For years the Millennium Falcon question was simple: the giant Ultimate Collector Series model (75192) or the far cheaper 75257. That second option has gone. Our catalog lists the 75257 as retired, with an expected exit at the end of 2024, and the UCS Falcon itself carries an expected exit date of December 31, 2026. In 2026 the real choice is between three current Falcons built for three different buyers: a collector with space, a fan with one shelf, and a child who wants to fly it around the room. This comparison is research based, from LEGO's own set descriptions and our catalog.

Quick answer: the definitive display model, with room for it: UCS Millennium Falcon (75192), and buy it this year. An 18+ display model for an ordinary shelf: Starship Collection Millennium Falcon (75375). A Falcon for a child to play with: Millennium Falcon (75426), plus an All-In-One set for the SMART Brick. The 75257 is retired.

UCS Millennium Falcon (75192): the definitive one, leaving this year

LEGO calls the 2017 UCS Falcon the largest, most detailed LEGO Millennium Falcon it has made and one of its biggest models of any kind. It is built for display: individual hull plates lift off to show the main hold with its seating area and holochess table, the rear compartment and the gunnery station, and the cockpit seats four minifigures under a detachable canopy. Interchangeable sensor dishes and two crews let it stand as the classic trilogy ship or the sequel trilogy one. It needs a large, deep shelf or a tabletop of its own, so measure before you buy.

The deadline is the part that matters in 2026. With an expected exit date of December 31, 2026 in our catalog, this holiday season is the last one in which LEGO itself sells it. If it is the Falcon you want, decide before the end of the year rather than waiting for a better sale price that may not come before it leaves.

Starship Collection Millennium Falcon (75375): the shelf-sized display model

The 2024 Starship Collection Falcon is a mid-scale, 18+ display build of the ship as it appears in A New Hope. It comes with a buildable stand that holds it at an angle, as if in flight, a nameplate and a LEGO Star Wars 25th anniversary brick. It keeps the cockpit, satellite dish and cannons that make the silhouette, at a size that fits an ordinary bookshelf, and our catalog expects it to stay on sale until the end of 2027.

Millennium Falcon (75426): the one to play with

The 2026 Millennium Falcon is a play set for children aged 9 and up, with two stud shooters and lift-off, fold-out top sections so small hands can reach the holochess table and seating area inside. It is a SMART Play compatible set: it comes with four SMART minifigures, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Luke Skywalker and C-3PO, and four SMART Tags, but no SMART Brick. For the lights and sounds, such as the jump to light speed, it needs a SMART Brick from one of the All-In-One sets 75421, 75423 or 75427, sold separately. Our LEGO SMART Play guide explains how the system fits together.

What about the 75257?

The 2019 Millennium Falcon from The Rise of Skywalker was the go-to cheaper Falcon for five years: a 9+ play set with rotating gun turrets, spring-loaded shooters, a lowering ramp and an interior with a galley, bunk and Dejarik table, and a crew of Finn, Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian, Boolio and C-3PO with R2-D2 and D-O. Our catalog lists it as retired, with an expected exit at the end of 2024. If you still want one, it now comes from remaining store stock or the resale market, so check whether a listing is new and sealed or used and complete before you compare prices.
