LEGO Concorde Detailed Review

[@ethanol1586]

Lego has finally given us a detailed plane! We got detailed cars, detailed trains, and even a detailed ship. About time we got a detailed plane. Cant wait to get this set!

[@youtubehand]

😂 Detailed???

[@joeylego6722]

I think he’s means the exterior/features

[@samwalker8893]

Ummm… the boeing 787 dreamliner? Set 10177, the sopwith camel (both if them) sets 10226 & 3451, the red baron 10024, Its not “finally”, there is a long line of “detailed planes”

[@vrijegeest512]

Those sets are all over 10 years old, so yes for most young Lego fans this is the first detailed plane available to them.

[@piotr78]

Lego has made. Not given.

[@jameshenderson3687]

As someone who has been obsessed with Concorde and Lego from a very young age I can’t express how excited I am that Lego have made such a faithful representation of the plane. I remember when I was about 5 or 6 me and my dad building our own Concorde together and this feels like the set we always wanted! I think we’ll be getting one each😆

[@aminkhalifa8089]

I flew from London to NY once on the Concorde. It was comfortable but narrow to the point that the middle aisle was narrow so the service card wasn’t the one you see on most airplanes. It had a screen that kept track of speed Mach 2 was the max speed. I got home in half the time on that trip.

[@sebe7570]

What was the turbulence like?

[@nickm2483]

@@sebe7570I’ve always wondered that too. Is it different, worse or better at the higher altitude?

There is little turbulence at those altitudes, so in that regard it was better. But of course it was still subject to regular turbulence when climbing and descending.

[@RealBanana]

That must’ve been quite the experience! You were really lucky!

[@alimonster1982]

My grandad helped built the engines for the Concorde here in Filton, Bristol, UK, so this is a must buy for me. Wicked review as always man. Thanks.

[@MrJKDRob]

Seen it take off from the Filton runway (fishpool hill gate) when I was about 10-11 years old. The noise was like nothing I’ve experienced before!

[@taylor4666]

My great Grandad also helped build the engines for Concorde! I have a pair of Concorde cuff links that were gifted to him once the plane had been completed :)

[@galaxygamer2220]

I really love this style of review where you show off interesting parts of the build process while they are happening, rather than just talking about it after the fact. And the commentary is something you just don't really get with speed builds that show just the build process

[@andymilonakis2289]

I flew on the Concorde back in December of 2001, it was a heck of a ride! It did feel small inside and the windows to look outside are much smaller then a normal passenger jet. I had Roasted Lamb and some Dom Perignon. Taking off was crazy because of the Afterburners and the Concorde uses no flaps. When we landed at Heathrow Airport the landing was very rough like a fighter jet.

[@craiglizt8074]

Lego really did a fantastic job at designing this thing. It's just gorgeous to look at and the size of it makes it all worthwhile. I like the landing gear operation and the stand as well. So very cool overall.

[@username9774]

The concord is a legendary plane, only brought down by the fuel economy and a loose part from a different plane on the runway, it was actually a really safe plane other that. I whis I was able to experience it when it was still flying.

[@PMD220S]

Flew on an Air France Concorde in 1992. From JFK to France and then back on the return trip....so technically I flew on the Concorde twice. I was 12 years old with my parents. The one thing i remember is the flight back to the US was EXTREMELY hot inside the cabin. 60k feet up, sun beating down at mach 2. Not surprising, right?

[@ThatInformationGuy]

I flew on a Air France Concorde back in 1989 for its 20th anniversary and it was really hot inside the plane 😅

[@Beer_Dad1975]

My Dad took me to the airport in Auckland in 1986 to watch Concord land here - I was 11, but I'll never forget it! I actually really like the smaller number of parts per bag - I just finished the UCS X-Wing, which had a similar piece count to this, but half the number of bags - I'm a busy guy - professional with family - and I struggled to complete a bag in a sitting, and since my home office is for work, generally assemble at my dining room table - which meant I had to think carefully about timing when starting a new bag, which means if I only had 30 minutes free time, I'd just have to do something else - smaller number of pieces per bag would have been great for me. Having stated that - I do wish Lego would hurry up and eliminate the plastic bags like they have been promising for several years now - at least this one has a paper bag for the cockpit. Amazing set - really wish Lego would put as much effort into the UCS Star Wars sets - they are good, but always contain a lot of stickers, and was very disappointed the UCS X-Wing didn't even have landing gear - literally the only thing it had was the S-Foil deployment. Then again, a lot of other UCS Star Wars sets have nothing at all in the way of technic function... I often kinda get the feeling the team that work on UCS Star Wars aren't really that into it...

[@BritsBricks]

Wow, initially I wasn’t crazy about it, but after seeing it, and your thorough review it’s AMAZING!!! Thank you for sharing!

[@pwcinla]

I flew on Concorde as a teen and sat in the cockpit for landing at JFK; an experience I’ll never forget. Love this model but my only gripe is they should have included printed livery pieces so you could build the British Airways or Air France versions.

[@randomrebuilds]

The one set I've been waiting for in '23 - absolutely can't wait till I can get my hands on it and build it. Going to look into custom wall mounts so I can hang it!

[@shannocvirek]

So glad Lego went for another plane and iconic one at that. One plane I’d love to fly on if it was still around. I have be fortunate to break the sound barrier in a fighter on incentive flight while I was in the military.

[@sicsol]

Had a chance to fly on the British Airways Concorde - Amazing Aircraft

[@devilsadvocate2548]

Nice review. However the Concorde didn't have flaps. Those moving surfaces on the wings were a mix of elevators and elevons like most Delta wings. The higher angle of attack at landing, assisted by the droop snoot to give better visibility assisted in clawing back 'some' of the lower landing speed lost by not having flaps. It still came in pretty hot though like most deltas!

[@piotr78]

Construtive criticism: i would appreciate it if you would take a little more time to talk about downside of builds, quality control, etc. I think that would elevate the usefulness of your reviews for prospective buyers.

[@lego_loca]

I was on the fence whether or not I wanted to get this set, but after watching your review, I definitely want it! Thanks Jordan! 😊

[@BricksAtHome]

That thing is HUGE!🤯

[@jonathan_60503]

I still don't entirely love the look around the cockpit, or that one little gap at the cheese slope in the wings. But I still love the overall set; and can't believe how large it is!

[@empirecook]

Planes don’t typically excite me, but this is amazing! Would love to see Lego do more planes like this in the future!

[@ireoluwatomiwaidowu1615]

Creativity personified. Beautiful

[@rosshill2207]

I wasn't too excited about this, to be honest. But looking at the build, now it's something I would add to my list. Great review!

[@libordostal886]

I'm building this now and I'm bringing this to my office, it's gonna be perfect for my shelf behind me.

[@EBalagot007]

nice review Bricksie as an aviation enthusiast the Concorde is my most favorite plane , i have a scale model of this and also at one time i got inside of the actual plane too at the USS Intrepid in NY years ago . Can't wait to get my hand on this next week as i already saved my money for this beautiful amazing set : )

[@koloth5139]

Can't fly on it anymore anyway because they were all retired in 2003. However, they were pretty darn safe all things considered. There was only 1 fatal crash in its 27-year history. I only wouldn't fly on it because the ticket prices were super expensive. Costing close to $6000 to fly one way in the 90s. I could only imagine if it were still in operation today ticket prices would be 10s of thousands.

[@adrianhjordan1981]

A crash that was caused by Air France not sticking to the manufacturer's guidelines around fuel levels. The aircraft was safe if operated correctly. I only found out recently that BA used to charter flights out around the Scilly Isles that were far more affordable - would probably be a few hundred these days - not cheap, but as a once in a lifetime experience, achievable.

[@username9774]

There wer so called "Concord experiences", a one hour flight where you could experience the plane going a mach 2, typically being done in the spare plane for around 1500$. The one crash only happened because of a piece of a different airplane which fell on the runway, the soon improved the plane to not explode if this happens again.

[@bdaigno]

I haven't been in one, but I've seen it fly, and I can't wait to get this set!

[@CubeAtlantic]

That Concorde is so detailed & nice lookin'.

[@RCmies]

I feel like since they made a new molded piece anyway they could've made it fit a bit better to the other windscreen from the sides to reduce the gap, but other than that this looks incredible

[@besavagecsgo1961]

Best Lego Set of the Year! Great bricks, okay price and prints!!!

[@petehoskins1267]

Thanks for the review, second I have seen now. This is an excellent set and appears to be generating a lot of interest, I have my name down at local Lego store, hopefully will be in next Monday 04th. It’s price here is AUD $299.00. Cheers from Sydney 🇦🇺

The concorde was one of the safest planes ever made

[@ChristianDude28]

[@SneezingEagle]

One super cool set, long live concorde! Cheers Bricksie

[@richardgage8490]

I've been a plane geek since I was a teenager many moons ago. Was pumped when I heard Lego were doing Concorde but the pictures of it left me feeling deflated. I'm now trying to plan how to afford it and how I'm going to build it because it looked completely different in your video. I haven't flown in it but I have been in it. The model doesn't show it but the seats were tiny. If you were anything over a medium build, you weren't comfortable sat in them and if you were tall, you had to walk up the aisle with your head tilted to the side. Don't know whether the manual says it but the friction on the plane at full speed heated the fuselage so it was actually longer in flight than when it was sat on the ground by about 6 inches - like I said, I was a plane geek

[@chrisp5653]

I’m 6’3 and heavy build and sat on the one at Manchester runway visitor centre two months back and it was supremely comfortable.

[@thegerm574]

I’ve been on a retired Concord that’s at the Intrepid in NYC. Very cool and unique plane.

[@adrianhjordan1981]

Can't wait to get this next week. Looks amazing despite a couple of obvious limitations of Lego and the fact they've decided to put the logo of the company that killed Concorde on the box (Airbus doubled their maintenance contract cost which led directly to BA withdrawing the fleet from service).

[@TheGalantHamburger]

It was the crash that killed Concorde really. As soon as that happened, it was over.

[@username9774]

@@TheGalantHamburger No, it stilll flew for a coulpe of years after that, do your research.

[@TheGalantHamburger]

@@username9774 Wow. Ok. So the fact the plane crashed, killed everyone on board AND four people on the ground didn’t lead to the end of the planes service life didn’t lead to it being taken out of service, the international flight agencies recognising the age of the remaining air frames and requiring tripled servicing rates and increased servicing times didn’t kill the plane did it not?? It was JUST the additional costs involved as a result of the crash making it financially inviable for British Airways and Air France to continue flying the plane that killed it was it?? Pretty sure I know what I’m talking about. And you’re not even brave enough to post a real user name. Troll.

[@adrianhjordan1981]

​@@TheGalantHamburgerNope. Especially since the crash was proven to be due to Air France negligence and not the fault of the aircraft. British Airways fully intended to continue flying the aircraft for many years to come, indeed they spent millions refitting the interiors of their fleet in 2001 which they would not have done if they had known it would be retired in 2003.

Whoa. Far more sophisticated landing gear functionality than the discovery shuttle.

This set looks amazing, but as a long time Lego builder, it looks like the achillies heel of the whole set would be those clips that hold on the engines and the top of the cockpit. Unfortunately those pieces are prone to wearing out and cracking. So hopefully they include some replacements, and aren’t too difficult to replace. Other than that, I’m surprised that there are no stickers in this whole set. I bought the millennium Falcon from the force awakens, and was disappointed by it having a big sheet of stickers.

[@ian_987]

I'd really like to see Lego ditch stickers entirely; all printed is the way to go, and this is an area where Cobi have been doing far better.

[@leanneland]

I never got to fly on the Concorde but I got to visit and board one in Barbados. It’s incredible, the cabin was small and I remember they said luggage was very restricted because there wasn’t a lot of extra space in the plane. The seats were made of premium leather. Also I believe the Concorde spelling with the ‘e’ is the French/Air France version. British Airways spelled is sans ‘e’ - Concord.

[@MonaroTravels]

That's not correct, the UK spelt it with the e too, it's always been Concorde.

[@leanneland]

@@MonaroTravels Thank you, you're right they both did spell it with an 'e'. I looked it up again and the UK did originally plan to spell it without the 'e', but it caused a lot of controversy and later was retracted.

Ive never been lucky enough to ride on Concord (it was ridiculously expensive!!!) but I have stood next to one, many many years ago! Its a shame they no longer fly commercially after the crash of one a few years back, grounded them all!

[@busdriver2011]

It wasn't the just crash that caused them to be pulled from service. It was the loss of the large number of customers in the September 2001 attacks, rising fuel costs and Airbus stopped supporting the aircraft after Air France stopped flying them. BA had intended them to continue in service for a number of years longer after spending a large amount of money fitting kevlar linings to the fuel tanks to help avoid a similar incident the Paris accident in 2000. A true icon, which I was lucky enough to see take off and land at very close quarters many times!

[@filanfyretracker]

at 1m its basically the size of the Titanic. Hopefully one day Lego does the 747. Now that they have done Concorde they almost have to, So they can have to two most iconic passenger aircraft. I doubt there is any other commercial jets than those two where people know what they look like just by name.
