Description

A play set first

Unlike the display-focused Ultimate Collector Series, 7965 belongs to the regular Star Wars range, and that shows in its six minifigures. The idea is to put a crew on board and act out scenes, whether that is the escape from the Death Star in A New Hope or the flight through the asteroid field in The Empire Strikes Back. The exact figure line-up is listed on this page. When buying used, check it carefully, since figures from popular sets are often sold separately and may be missing from a bundle.

The look of a well-worn freighter

Light and dark bluish grey make up most of the model, with black and tan in support. The tan pieces add a touch of warmth that suits the ship's patched, second-hand character; on screen the Falcon never looks factory-new. The classic saucer shape with twin forward mandibles and the offset cockpit is the key to recognising it, and those are the features any version has to get right. Across 1,254 pieces there are 228 distinct part types, which keeps the build reasonably varied from start to finish.

Where the Falcon fits in

The Falcon is the rare ship that belongs to heroes rather than to an army. Han Solo and Chewbacca fly it through the original trilogy, Lando Calrissian takes the controls during the attack on the second Death Star, and it returns in later films as well. That long history is why so many versions exist, from small play models to huge collector pieces. This 2011 set sits in the middle: large enough for a proper crew, compact enough to handle and swoosh around the room.

A useful parts pack

Play sets rarely stay assembled forever, and when this one comes apart it leaves a solid supply of grey elements that suit spacecraft, hangars and bases of your own. Before you plan anything, the ‘What can I build?’ tool compares the set's parts with your collection and highlights other models you could build with few or no extra purchases. The complete inventory with colours and quantities is here too, which is also handy for checking a second-hand copy for gaps.
