-[Zack] I think it's time we start a new project. You might remember this guy from 4 years ago,
back when we were dating. How many pieces did this have, Cambry?
-[Cambry] I think a little over 4,000.
-This guy has almost double that. It took us about 17 hours to finish that one...together,
both of us working at the same time. This one should take quite a bit longer. You ready,
Cambry?
-Let's get started.
[Intro]
-[Zack] So this video is not sponsored, but I have been looking forward to this one for
a really long time. This is from the Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series. It's the Millennium
Falcon with 7,541 pieces. And it's got lots of people on the inside, and it should be
a pretty accurate representation of the spaceship that did the Kessel run in something...Parsecs...?
I don't exactly remember.
[Laughter]
-Well I'm excited to do this because I feel like Legos in general give me a little bit
of nostalgia. That's what I did as a kid. And then I also watched Star Wars so it's
double nostalgia. I like working on two projects at the same time.
-Oh no, we're dropping stuff all over the place. That is the manual, the instruction
book. You're in charge of this.
-Oh gol. It's heavy.
-Yeah!
-Look how many steps are in here. Well this is cool – it's like a little bit of history.
-Oh wow, it's like a whole book. How many pages is it?
-494.
-Wow. Now we just have to turn this into that.
-There's no backing out now.
[Music playing]
It's crazy that it starts off so small and ends up being a huge masterpiece in the end.
-Just like a little Lego. Alright, we are currently working through step one. We've
been on this for about an hour or so and we're trying to figure out what direction is front.
I personally think this alcove is the same alcove as this.
-That's literally what I just said.
-Oh really? Was it the other way around?
-Yeah, you thought this was the front, and I thought this was the front. But now you're
jumping ship.
-Well, at least we're on the same page.
-I think this is the front.
-But then we also have like a weird little steering wheel thing over here. It's interesting
seeing all of this come together, but I guess that's kind of the whole point of Legoes.
How's it going, Cambry?
-Um, I'm a little tired, but we've got 5 more steps with what's left in these bags, and
then we'll be on step 2, which is...
-[Laughing] After all this...step 2...I mean bag 2 is what we're saying.
-Yeah, bag 2.
-Each step is like...we're on step 125 right now. My least favorite part are these tiny
little guys right here that are going into all the different components. Definitely didn't
have those when I was a kid, but it's very important to keep everything together on this
particular project. There's a lot going on.
-I mean we have a good system going on because there are a lot of things and it's hard for
two people to be working on one thing so we split it up where I am the gatherer. So I've
organized all the pieces that have come in all the bags for bag 1. And then Zack will
take those pieces and add it on to the larger structure. So we're pretty efficient that
way and it's working well.
-I would say we still don't totally know which direction is front at the moment.
-I can't remember which place we started with.
-Yeah, we'll find out though here in a second. But the skeleton is coming together.
-We started bag 3 and we got to put together these cute little owl thingies that I don't
remember what they're called. And then Chewy, and this is an actually functioning weapon.
-Wow!
-Got him!
-Lego knows though...no shooting people's eyeballs out.
-Oh!
-Where did it go?
-Over your head.
-Wow. It is a very strong crossbow for a Lego set. That's so far.
-You got me.
-So we have been working for about, how many hours now?
-Probably a little over 5 hours.
-A little over 5 hours and we're on step 3. Now the world record for finishing this is
10 hours and 20-something minutes by a guy named Luke Chapman, which Luke is a fitting
name for someone building...
-He used the force.
-He has the force by building this. We have a long way to go. How are you feeling?
-It's fun. There are lots of cool little unique details. I like the little figurines that
we put together. I like that it's starting to really take shape.
-A lot of things are taking shape.
[Music playing]
-It has cool little doors! I think they're doors...or maybe it's the trash. And then
we got two more crew members – Han and Leia.
[Music playing]
-Come here bud. Whoa, that's crazy!
-Chewbacca. Can you say “Chewbacca”?
[Toddler sounds]
-Wow.
-With what I think is the weapon system on the front of the Millenium Falcon finished,
we can mount it as the front bumper. It could be either one at this point. So Cambry, it
looks like you're working quite a bit harder than I am over there.
-I'm pretty good at multitasking.
-How are you liking it so far?
-Um, it's bigger than I thought and I'm slowing down a bit.
-Right now we are about 10 hours and 20 minutes into it, give or take, and that is the world
record of someone who's finished it before. And even with both of us, do you think we're
halfway?
-No.
-We're not halfway finished with this project yet, and it's looking like we need to hurry
up. So it looks like we are one step 393 out of how many?
-13,079 steps, but some things are better not rushed.
-1,000 steps left. Oh boy. So Cambry, since this set has over 7,000 pieces, how do you
keep everything organized?
-The way that I keep track of everything, first I organize all the pieces with themselves.
Like the similar pieces altogether kind of like how you would with puzzle pieces where
you have the edges and the different colors together. And then to orient myself on the
actual ship, I start by finding the chessboard. So I go to that spot to figure out which side
of the ship I'm on. And then I check the diagram to see if I'm on the belly or the top. And
then Lego also does a really good job of having these brightly colored pieces for different
segments to help you orient which side you're working on. So for example, one side has a
bright orange piece so I know I'm on the left side versus the right side. And then one side
has a bright blue so it keeps me organized.
-One fun fact as we assemble this 7,500 piece puzzle is that every single Lego piece made
in the last 60 years still fits with every single Lego piece made in the last 60 years.
The mold for the plastic bricks is accurate to .002 millimeters, even after all this time.
The Lego bricks your parents played with will still connect to the bricks that your kids
play with.
-They say time flies when you're having fun, but sometimes 10 hours does feel like 9 months.
-I think it's only fitting that we use the Lego Technic crane that we assembled while
we were dating to help construct the Millenium Falcon.
-I've got a bad feeling about this. Awfully close.
-Nice.
And we're back. How many hours has it been Cambry?
-19 ½ hours on this project.
-I think if I remember right, our last...the Lego Technic Crane, was 17 hours. So it's
already been a bigger project than that one. I think our uh...we're about to have a lot
less free time on our hands...
-So we have to hussle.
-A deadline. So how much do you think she's going to weigh when she's done?
-7 pounds 6 ounces.
-That's a good estimate. Back to work.
[Music playing]
So we're getting close. We're about 20 hours in and I think we have what, about 2 hours
left give or take?
-Yeah, maybe a little less...we'll see.
-But I think we're far enough along that we can give you a tour of the Millenium Falcon.
This thing is huge. Cambry, do you want to pop the lid off?
-There are lots of lids.
-Wow. So these little portions...because I think Lego still wants you to play with this
afterwards, and so all these lids come off in different pieces so you can access the
rooms. And it's interesting how they attach. Like this one has two little connectors on
the inside. This one just has the 2 balls that clip into the arms.
-Yeah, this guy I think stays on. These guys come off too I think. Well, maybe not. Oh
we glued them on...
-Oops, it's off now. You're right.
-It snaps back on like a little Lego.
-So some of the rooms that are recognizable from the movies. I think, you know, this is
the first one that comes to my mind. Like this is where Chewbacca...Chewbacca and C-3PO
are in here playing a very friendly game of Star Wars chess. What other cool rooms are
there?
-This room. I'm not sure what all these pieces are for, but maybe if you know anything about
how spaceships work, it would make sense. But yeah, I do think Lego meant for things
to be played with. Like this looks like it's a seat and maybe this is Chewbacca's seat?
I don't know.
-I think there's supposed to be some kind of turret thing on the top, let's see.
-Oh.
-Yeah, it is a turret.
-So it controls the turret.
-Yeah. And then it's kind of fun to see the hallway in there. Like the attention to details
is really cool. And this was a ladder that goes up to the turret area.
-We haven't constructed that yet.
-These are the light speed beams.
-And this is the part that lowers to let people in and out of the Falcon, so it's functional.
-We are finally on the last bag. 17...how many steps have we done?
-1,262.
-So close to being finished. I think we have a little bit of coverage here and the turret
on top.
-I think we've done 21 hours.
-Okay, let's get back to it.
[Music playing]
Alright Cambry, how are things progressing over there?
-I think we're in the final hours.
-She has done a fantastic job of multitasking.
We are down to the very last piece. Cambry, would you like to do the honors?
-I was thinking we could give someone else the opportunity to place their first Lego.
-Good job. Can you put it down? Perfect. Thank you.
-This is Robin. She's our newest member of our team.
-She just recently arrived from a galaxy far, far away.
All in all, this project took us around 22 hours.
-And 9 months.
-Thanks a ton for watching.
-We'll see you around.
I think you say "Falcon" weird.
-Falcon?
-I thought it was "Falcon".
-I'm like 99% sure. We'll find out.
