My grandson now has the Millenium Falcon after pooling lots of money. It costs well over £100 which means only well off children can get this. And what do you do with it, too expensive to throw out, so maybe sell it? They should make these things in plastic Airfix kits to stick together and paint, just as much fun at a fraction of the cost, and they look totally realistic. But I presume Star Wars has a deal with Lego so it can't be done by anyone.

My son does them with his 9yr old son they both enjoy it so much. He bought the Millenium Falcon but lack of space means it’s still in the box. Why not it’s a nice relaxing pastime for any age.

My Daughter, 42 with no children built the Millennium Falcon.
It’s on display in her lounge, along with other big Lego builds.

My nephew has made the Titanic, recommend to him that he buys the lighting kit, it looks impressive,my nephew saw it after building and cannot be bothered to take it apart to fit the lights

My great nephew (in his 20s) is a huge Lego fan. He got the Titanic kit for Christmas! It's huge.

They are very expensive though!

My daughter (37) makes them and has them on display, we bought her one for Christmas. They’re good for people to switch off and concentrate making them up.

I have just been reading my cycling magazine ,and there is a growing interest amongst Adults as to Lego Kits , which are maybe useful as to a pastimes such as cards or puzzles .
