The Millennium Falcon name carries enormous weight — this 2019 version leans on it hard, because at $170 for 1328 pieces, the set itself needs all the help it can get.
Is the price fair?D$170 for this scale feels like paying flagship prices for a mid-tier experience.
Will you love it?CSolid enough if the Falcon is your thing, but it won't convert anyone who's on the fence.
Holds its value?B-Modest appreciation likely — the name holds floors, not ceilings.

The Full Take
There are two Millennium Falcons in LEGO® history and this is the smaller, cheaper one — which sounds fine until you realize $170 still buys you a model that feels like a compromise. The build is competent but rarely surprising, and the iconic silhouette lands well enough on a shelf without stopping anyone in their tracks. Seven minifigs rounds out the package, and the character selection is solid for a kid or a fan, but none of them are chasing exclusivity. The price grade is where this set stumbles hardest — $169.99 puts it in territory where expectations rise steeply and the set doesn't always meet them. Secondary market history gives investors a modest cushion, so it isn't a total write-off for a patient buyer. But for everyone else, this is a set you buy because you love the Falcon, not because the set demands to be owned.
