    • If you have already installed your kit and would like to skip to instructions describing operation, click here.

    • There are several ways to read this guide:

    • Reading it on the web in your browser.

    • Downloading a PDF copy of the guide. You can do this by selecting "Download PDF" as shown by the red rectangle in the first photo. Click on the Options heading in the upper right corner of the screen (see the green rectangle).

    • In the "Dozuki" application, which is available for download from the Apple App Store and various Android and Google marketplaces.

    • If you view this guide in the Dozuki app, search for "Brickstuff" the first time you open the app, then select "Product Guides" from the categories listed under Brickstuff. Scroll down to find this guide.

    • You can also translate this guide into another language when viewing on the web. To do this, install a translator extension into your browser and use that extension/plug-in to translate the page. Using the main Google translate website (translate.google.com) does not work.

  2. As shown in the first photo, it is very important to look at the color of the wires for the lights in this kit. Lights with red and black wires can be connected to any adapter their plugs will fit into.

    • As shown in the first photo, it is very important to look at the color of the wires for the lights in this kit.

    • Lights with red and black wires can be connected to any adapter their plugs will fit into.

    • Lights with blue and white wires can ONLY be connected to either a BRANCH09 or BRANCH09X adapter board. Connecting a light with blue and white wires to any other adapter board (including other adapters where the plugs fit) will destroy the light.

    • The second photo is a visual reference for the controllers and adapter boards included with your kit. You may want to print a copy to reference as you walk through the instructions. You can download a PDF copy of this illustration here.

    • Here are some other very important tips to keep in mind as you connect the parts in this kit:

    • Plugs connect to adapter boards and controllers only one way. Do not force plugs.

    • Do not remove plugs with tabs by pulling on the wire. Always use your fingernails or tweezers to remove plugs by pulling on the tabs of the plug, not the wires.

    • Many boards have connectors that face vertically (upward). Use extra care when connecting or disconnecting plugs to these connectors. Pulling or pushing sideways on any vertically-facing plug can cause the plug to come detached from its circuit board.

  3. Note that this guide applies only to "Version 2" light + sound kits for the Falcon-- these are the kits sold beginning with the November 2019 batch of orders. If your kit was part of an earlier batch, these instructions will not be relevant. Contact us if you have misplaced the printed guide that was included with your kit. Depending on when your kit was manufactured, it may have one of two different designs of TRUNK08 master controller included.

    • Depending on when your kit was manufactured, it may have one of two different designs of TRUNK08 master controller included.

    • The TRUNK08 master controller is included inside the pink bag labeled Main Control and Connecting Parts.

    • The first photo in this step shows the version 4 TRUNK08 controller. This controller has a black dial in the upper right corner, and it also has top-facing plugs for the OUT1, OUT2, OUT3, and OUT4 connectors.

    • The second photo in this step shows the version 7 TRUNK08 controller. This controller has a blue dial in the upper right corner, and it also has side-facing plugs for the OUT1, OUT2, OUT3, and OUT4 connectors.

    • Both controllers operate identically, and plugs are labeled the same with the exception of the Version 7 controller having three "pixel" output plugs while the Version 4 controller has only one "pixel" output plug. If your kit has a Version 7 controller, you will only use the "PIXEL1" plug to connect adapter boards,

  4. When connecting plugs, it is important to be able to tell the top of the plug from the bottom. The first photo in this step shows the top of two different types of plugs, and the second photo shows the bottoms. Plugs will fit into connectors only one way. Do not force! When removing plugs, to not pull from the wire. As shown in the third photo in this step, use your fingers to pinch the tabs on larger plugs and pull on the tabs to remove.

    • When removing plugs, to not pull from the wire. As shown in the third photo in this step, use your fingers to pinch the tabs on larger plugs and pull on the tabs to remove.

    • The connectors in this kit can hold plugs very tightly. Pulling on the wire instead of using the tabs on larger plugs will cause the wires to pull out. Once a wire pulls out from a plug, it cannot be repaired.

  5. You will be running a lot of wires during the installation of this kit. Because the Millennium Falcon model is constructed using many LEGO® Technic parts, there are many holes and gaps through which you can run the wires. You can use the Technic parts to secure wires by wrapping excess wire around the Technic elements. You can also use a tweezers or pencil to coil excess wire to prevent it from getting caught in gaps. The first photo in this step shows a wire with standard-size connector passing between two Technic bricks.

    • The other type of light (shown on the right in the second photo) is not pre-mounted inside a LEGO plate. There are six of these types of lights in your kit.

    • You will begin with the lights that are pre-mounted inside the clear round plate.

    • As shown in the third photo, before mounting, gently bend the light and insert it into the open area of the clear round plate. The light should fully fit inside the bottom of the plate.

  22. Because the 10 landing lights need to be mounted underneath the Falcon, this section is the most difficult to complete. If you have been working straight from the beginning of the installation, it is recommended that you take a break. Before proceeding, make sure you can access the underside of your Falcon. It is recommended that the model be positioned near the edge of a table, so you can access the underside of the model closest to the edge of the table. Begin by attaching the four lights that are pre-mounted inside the clear round plates.
