Legos and Star Wars are two of my hobbies. And wonderful things happen when I combine those two.

I wanted to build a big set, and display it at my house. So, off to google we go, and search Biggest Lego set EVER. Mmmhh… the Taj Majal it's not what I have in mind for a Star Wars related set. Ok, let's look at the second biggest one. A-HA! We have a winner!. At 5195 pieces, the Ultimate Collection Series Millennium Falcon is what I was looking for! Let's buy that one…

OMFGWAT? US$ 6400 for that set on Amazon? What is it made of? Carbonite? Well… apparently I'm not the only one that came up with this idea of building one of the MOST AWESOMEST FREIGHT CARGO SHIPS EVER, that happens to be discontinued. But there's no way I'm going to pay that.

So, after much investigation I came up with a workaround to build EVERY discontinued Lego set. Just follow this instructions.

Install BrickStock

Just go to http://brickstock.patrickbrans.com/ and download, install, clickity-click. Easy (it's available for both Mac and Windows).

Run this software and the first thing you do is going to Extras > Update Database. This will update your software with all the information about every brick and lego set ever.

Load an inventory

Now you need to go to File > Import > Bricklink Set Inventory. On Category choose [All Items] and on Filter type the Millennium Falcon set number 10179. BOOM. Done. You have a list with all the parts that form this set.
