» 26 December 2009 (Sat): lego millenium falcon


notes: While building the Millennium Falcon, I limited my entertainment to the original Star Wars trilogy (and one football game).

[4 views] New Hope: 2hrs. 1min - (total 8hrs. 1min)
[3 views] Empire Strikes Back: 2hrs. 4min (total 6hrs. 12min)
[3 views] Return of the Jedi: 2hrs. 14min (total 6hrs. 42min)
[1 view] Football game: 2hrs. (total 2hrs)

Grand Total: 22hrs 55min (1,375 minutes build time)

Han Solo said "It's the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs."

We know a parsec was a measurement of distance equal to approximately 3.26 light years.

So, 11.5 parsecs * 3.26 light years = 37.49 light years = 328412.4 light hours

Which means 14,278.8 Lego Millennium Falcons built per Kessel Run (with Han Solo at the wheel)

The set contains 5,195 pieces at $499.99 which equates to roughly ~$0.10 a piece

At my speed, I was handling 3.79 pieces a minute (or $0.37 a minute).

Instruction Manual: 311 pages (16.7 pieces per page at $1.60 a page) which means I was averaging 4min 28sec per page.
