Description
Set 75192, the Millennium Falcon, is a highly sought-after LEGO Ultimate Collector Series (UCS) set from an iconic Star Wars franchise released in 2018. With over 7,500 pieces, it offers an impressive building experience and an even more impressive investment opportunity. The set includes 8 minifigures, such as Han Solo, Chewbacca, Princess Leia, C-3PO, Older Han Solo, Rey, and Finn. It was initially pre-released to VIP members on September 14th, 2017, two weeks before the general public. The set quickly sold out upon its release and remained hard to find for the next year, often selling for about 25% above its retail value. At the time of its release, this Millennium Falcon 75192 was the largest Lego set ever produced and remains a highly-desired piece amongst LEGO collectors & Star Wars fans alike.
While the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for the set is €849.99, the current average price on secondary markets is around €781. This opportunity is a 20-set bundle, with each set acquired for just €570, making it a compelling investment case. It is expected that the set will retire sometime between mid-to-late 2023: its current lifespan is 65 months compared to just 31 months of other sets in this theme. After retirement, it is estimated that the set's value will jump nearly 15% immediately and then experience an annual growth rate of close to 8% after the second year, potentially valuing the set between €1,055 and €1,136 shortly after retirement.
