Teen LEGO fan builds iconic set with OVER 7,500 PIECES in record time!

What’s the biggest thing you’ve built out of LEGO?

Lukas Herrscher, a teenager from Germany, has claimed the record for fastest time to build the LEGO® Star Wars 75192 Millennium Falcon™ with a whopping 7 hours, 27 minutes and 9 seconds.

Since the set is made up of 7,541 pieces, that means Lukas found the right place for each piece and added it to the set in just about 3.5 seconds per piece!

WOW.

So how did Lukas come up with the idea to break this record?

He saw a video of the previous record on our YouTube channel and thought, “I could beat it”.

We love the confidence!

The 17-year-old is a huge fan of LEGO and didn’t let the fact that he’d never built this set before stop him.

So here’s how he did it…

Starting off by unpacking the gigantic box, he laid the numbered bags out in order and worked his way through the instruction booklet as quickly as his fingers could move.

For the next 7 and a half hours, Lukas pushed on for as long as he could! He only stopped once for a toilet break and a few times to take a drink.

That’s what we call determination!

Can you imagine how tiring it must have been to do such detailed work for that long, without stopping? 

“It’s really hard to build that long,” Lukas told us.

As a special treat to help him overcome the pain, he got a massage afterwards!

Even though he managed to break the record, Lukas thinks that he could have done it even faster.

“I made mistakes,” he confessed.

Your attempt was still amazing, Lukas – in fact, it was Officially Amazing!

One tip that Lukas wants to give other LEGO builders based on his experience, is to keep an eye out for bits that need to be built the same way and do them all at the same time rather than one after the other.

But will he attempt to break more records in the future?

Well, he told us he’s not ruling it out, but isn’t sure what it’ll be just yet…

Congratulations, Lukas, and we can’t wait to see what you’ll do next!
