LELE 79211 STAR WART MILLENNIUM FALCON Review

Today I'll be reviewing the LELE 79211 Star Wart Millennium Falcon. No, it's not a spelling typo. Due to the copyright issue, LELE had to rename Star Wars to Star Wart. Same goes to LEPIN; they renamed it to Star Wnrs instead. I was suppose to get the LEPIN version but unfortunately the stock takes forever to come in.

I'm pretty sure all my readers knows about the famous Millennium Falcon. If you do not, refer to the picture below. It's the starship from the movie franchise, Star Wars.

Now, let's look at the packaging. Yes, this is the exact clone of the Lego 75105 Millennium Falcon.The font for the word "Star Wart" itself is a blatant copy of the original Star Wars. Refer picture below to compare both packaging.

The box is actually quite big; 22.5 in (W) x 15 in (H) x 3.5 in (D) and weighs about 2.8kg.

Now, let's look at the contents (refer picture below). The bricks are packed neatly in plastic bags BUT take note that the plastic bags are not labelled and the bricks in each plastic bag are grouped by size rather than assembling sequence unlike Lego. And yes, it is worse than finding a needle in a haystack. But you'll get used to it if you assemble a lot of bootleg Lego.

So, how do you start? I suggest you gather as many small containers you can get hold off and sort the bricks like me. Usually I'll dump all the smaller parts into the containers. Those larger ones I'll dump it into the cardboard box.

Warning! Please check the brick colors carefully before assembling. The brick colors in the manual might be confusing at times especially the dark bluish gray, light bluish gray and tan. I made a mistake with one of the colors and it was impossible for me to reverse the process without dismantling everything. But luckily I had another spare brick to replace it.

Okay, let's start assembling! Picture heavy.

Voila! It is completed! Took me more than 6 hours to complete it because I spent most of the times looking for bricks, More pictures from different angles.

So, what's the verdict? I'll rate this set 9 out of 10. This set would have gotten 10 out of 10 if the colors on the manual were clearer and the bricks packaging were...better. I would have save a lot of time if the bricks packaging were done nicely like Lego. Not a big issue here...actually I'm kinda enjoyed myself more. The color of some bricks are a bit off especially the red...maybe it's just my eyesight. The mini figures looks better than Lepin.

I have created a 360 degrees view but I'm not sure you guys can see/use it or not. Check it out below.
