The set is set to arrive Oct. 1 and will retail for $800 as it contains over 7,500 Lego pieces in order to offer the most detailed model of Han Solo's ship ever.

When completed, the Millennium Falcon will feature laser cannons, a boarding ramp that can be lowered, removable hull plates, a gunnery station and a cockpit that can hold four Lego characters, CNET reported.

Inside the box is Lego figures of classic versions of Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca and C-3PO along with an older version of Han, with Rey Finn and BB-8.

"At 7,541 pieces, the largest set in Lego history just might make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs," the company says of the set.
