Every Christmas, many parents buy LEGO sets to give to their children. LEGO sets for Christmas are no doubt very popular, and plenty of LEGO models are a tribute to several movies, from the great classics like Star Wars to recent box office hits like Pirates of the Caribbean. Star Wars LEGO sets are a collector’s item and are among the big favorites: many people love Star Wars, while many others love LEGO; a lot love both.
Lego Star Wars Millennium Falcon
Children from ages 9 to 14 and adult collectors of Star Wars items are sure to delight in having the Star Wars Millennium Falcon LEGO set. This set takes its inspiration from the galaxy’s fastest ship in Star Wars flown by Han Solo himself, the Millennium Falcon, and the Lego Star Wars Millennium Falcon set is among the good-sized LEGO sets available on the market, at more than 15 inches in width and 4 inches height. This set features over 1,250 pieces of LEGO blocks, making it virtually impossible to put together the Millennium Falcon in a single night. Some included pieces are a cockpit cover that detaches, oscillating laser cannons, quad laser turrets that rotate, and twin flick missiles, as well as a crossbow, 3 light sabers, and 3 blasters. Characters included are Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader, and Han Solo. The details of the ship are impressive and do not disappoint. Most of the pieces of this LEGO set are available in the color gray, and putting together the pieces requires patience, hard work, discipline, a careful technique. Available in a manual are instructions presented in great detail, so construction is clear-cut.
Lego Pirates of the Caribbean Black Pearl
Another hit from LEGO is the Pirates of the Caribbean Black Pearl LEGO set, ideal for LEGO builders from 8 to 14 years of age. With only around 800 pieces and measuring 20 inches in height and 2 feet in length once constructed, the Black Pearl LEGO set may be smaller than the Millennium Falcon LEGO set, but the Pirates of the Caribbean Curse of the Black Pearl LEGO set is just as adored by many fans of the movie starring Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush and Orlando Bloom. This set is a stunning replica of the Night Uncatchable, which is Captain Jack Sparrow’s galleon in the movie. Included in the set are 6 small LEGO figures from The Curse of the Black Pearl, sails of fabric that sit right on top of masts and bestow an authentic feel, an anchor that is moveable, a couple of main canons on the deck of starboard gun, a floorboard that can be detached, and the captain’s cabin. The Night Uncatchable is as close to the movie’s galleon as possible.
