  • Yes, you can turn a Lego pumpkin into the Millennium Falcon

Yes, you can turn a Lego pumpkin into the Millennium Falcon

August 24, 2026 / admin / retro news

It’s getting to the point where I’m convinced you can turn any Lego set into a Millennium Falcon if you try hard enough, because someone has used a pumpkin kit to create Han Solo’s iconic ship.

Created by Minute_Food_2881 on reddit, this alternate build takes the new Lego Halloween Pumpkin Lantern set (which costs around $29.99 via the Lego store) and uses it to make a festive version of the galaxy’s most recognizable freighter. Sure, it looks a little squishier than usual and that is definitely a ghost instead of a cockpit. But this Lego set is unmistakably the Millennium Falcon, spooky or not – and it joins a long line of kits people have managed to turn into the ship, to the point it’s become a meme amongst the community.

The creator hasn’t left instructions for us to copy their homework, but it doesn’t look as though they’ve used any extra pieces beyond what comes in the box. The photo clearly shows individual studs and bricks too, so I suspect you could replicate the design if you had this image up as a reference. Seeing as it’s smaller than many of the best Lego sets, it shouldn’t be too much of a headache to figure out either.

I shouldn’t be surprised that Minute_Food_2881 was able to do this. They’re famous for creating alt-builds using existing Lego sets, from Pokemon like Charmander (using the same pumpkin set, actually) to a Warhammer 40K battleship. However, they’re best known for turning things into Millennium Falcons. They’ve used Back to the Future models, Technic sets, and more to recreate the fastest hunk o’ junk in the galaxy, so I guess it tracks that they could use a pumpkin as well.

It’s shaping up to a big couple of months for Lego; the Lego Star Trek Enterprise Bridge set boldly goes back to the original series with shields up and tribbles ready, and fans agree new Lego Batman Returns Batmobile looks great.
