LEGO Concorde REVIEW | Set 10318

[@SamuriLemonX18]

Perfect timing! My dad was an electrical engineer on Concorde and has just gotten into Lego since he doesn't have the dexterity for Airfix anymore

[@G36645]

[@Beer_Dad1975]

Kinda sad that young people don't know about Concorde. My Dad took me to the airport in Auckland in 1986 to see it - never forget it. Sadly a poorly maintained 1970's aircraft (a DC10) that dropped debris on the runway and caused a fatal accident that killed a lot of very rich people (and thus a lot of legal suits), plus the horrific fuel costs of running it brought it to an end.

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

this is like a UCS set almost, love it, even the price is very good! Nice to see Lego not money grabbing on this like some other sets lately. Landing gear is cool, and being able to manipulate it and move it around and it hold together is huge too, means itll be easy to hang from fishing line and not worry. The stand is also a huge step up for Lego and very nice

The concept of someone not knowing what the concorde was insane to me until this video

[@0tispunkm3y3r]

​@@RealTonyMontanaI've got 3 year old girl (and maybe this will have changed by the time she's interested and learning about things like aviation) and I can wait to feel how surreal it will be, telling her about Concorde. Like we USED to be able to cross the Atlantic in 3 hours. Now we can't. Like we went backwards or something. I know it's not quite that simple but still. For an aircraft designed in the 60s with pencils and slide rules to be our aviation magnum opus! Wild

[@user-ne4ld3jp6i]

I had a great time building this as well. This is the first set I've seen with orange "scaffolding" elements to help with keeping the build stable during construction. Also, having a length 8 axle sticking out of the back of this build for 200 straight steps until you remove it to put the tail on blew my mind. Lots of really great Lego engineering going on here, and the final result is just beautiful.

[@MultiMachinegunner]

Hearing how you never heard of the Concorde, David, it hurt a little

[@adrianhjordan1981]

also about the speed of concorde, like you mentioned, because it was faster than the earth's rotation, you could watch the sunset in london, fly to new york and watch the sunset again there.

[@mcfrisko834]

😒They won't because it's a military plane. Lego is strictly against war-related stuff which sucks bc those are the coolest builds.

Yes. I agree. The classic BA livery would have sealed the deal for me.

I always have found memories of it on what seemed to be every Sunday at about 4pm taking off from Heathrow Airport and it then flying over my parents house. My grandfather was an electronics engineer and part of the team that created the fly by wire system on the Concorde prototype. That and the TSR2. Both now sit next to eachother at Duxford Air Museum near London. He liked lego and he would have definitely liked this.

[@samgarnett9174]

My grandad was a director at Manchester airport(at the time the ringway). When the Concorde flew there his office had the perfect view from where the Concorde pulled up. Can’t wait to get this.

[@gregobrix]

Dude, no offense, but flying from New York to Paris takes between 7.5 and 8 hours with a conventional airplane, not 6. That's what made the Concorde so appealing, because it cut the trip down to less than half the flying time, and helped you avoid jet lag

[@sssveden]

Man, Concorde is one of my favourite airplanes of all time, I admired it ever since i was little. I remember being sad that they no longer fly

[@R-2500]

I would argue that the Boeing 747 is a more iconic aircraft and as aviation enthusiast who's craze started when I first flew on this aircraft back in 2005, I would love to see LEGO release an actual 747 set. It would be my dream to get enough content creators and fans to petition LEGO to make one. As soon as Black Friday rolls around I'm getting the Concorde

[@yorgle]

I grew up on Long Island in the 80s, and I remember that often during the summers, among the other planes flying over on their way from europe to JFK or LaGuardia, you would occasionally see a Concorde flying over. :D

[@PlazDreamweaver]

I loved planes growing up, and would make countless paper airplanes (I even made 100 for a class project alone!). This certainly looks like something I might gift myself this Christmas. Lego's art designers did a wonderful time capturing its silhouette, and the engineers on this project did a perfect time taking the artists' work and making a beautiful and solid brick build.

[@nikamelch4975]

Honestly I'm just a guy who likes Lego And I don't rlly care much about planes but this is just on a different level I love this It's massive

My only complaints with the set is the landing gear not having the covers and the drupe snoop glass not being able to be removed or retract but there’s only so much you can do with legos. It’s really an incredible set

I love both aviation and lego so much, this is like the best combo yet. Though i’d love an a330 or a380 lego the concorde is more than sufficient

[@alpinium6175]

The yellowing of the white pieces is not really an issue of sunlight, it is more an issue with temperature coming with sunlight. The UV-radiation helps to counter the yellowing. It is even more effective when bathing the pieces in hydrogen peroxide (keep the stuff far, far away from children und always wear protective gear when using hydrogen peroxide!!!) and using UV-radiation.

"Quick" correction for you - this is gonna be long, because it's a genuinely interesting topic and I wanna share things that interest me, this being one of them, but you don't have to take the time to read it all if you don't want. Concorde is -not- the most famous and innovative aircraft of our time - you could argue it is the most *in*famous aircraft in recent history (Though it is one of the most well known) - and while when it launched it was ground-breaking technology-wise, it was a commercial disaster. The reasons behind this are many and all very interesting but it boils down to the following issues: High maintenance cost; High fuel consumption; High risk of structural failure; High sound pollution; High research and build cost resulting in high retail price for companies. It used several insanely cool features to help it do what it did, and it wasn't the only aircraft like it either. The Russians had their own version called the TU-144. Britain and France worked together to make Concorde, sinking billions into a very troubled research period where things just did not go according to plan - by the time it rolled off the production line it had become so expensive that nobody wanted to buy it. Britain and France ended up being the only people who manned them and much less were made than they wanted too. they guzzled fuel and were infamously problematic with maintenance, so they were expensive to run - but worst of all, they were loud both inside and out - so much so that they could not go supersonic above land, making them entirely useless for cross-country, only good for trans-Atlantic flights. Admittedly, they *were* good at that, but the cost effectiveness was very low as their high maintenance also resulted in high ticket prices. They also exploded. A lot. this isn't new technology, they were in commercial use in the 1970's. 76 specifically, though the first test flight was 69. The honest truth is, they never should have been built but Britain and France spent so much on building them that they ended up in a sunk cost fallacy, stubbornly keeping it around until they proved to be more hazardous and justification was no longer viable. That was in 2000, and were formally decommissioned for good in 2003, so they really are a relic of history now. Twenty years, it's bizarre because even though I'm not that old, I remember the day they were announced as being grounded and decommissioned. Despite all their flaws, the Concorde DOES remain one of the coolest looking planes with one of the most interesting stories in recent history, but it isn't as current as you think. they're a 50 year old plane that hasn't been in service for 20 years... and despite having had the technology to make supersonic airlines for 50 years now, we never tried again. The Concorde is the whole reason why: It's only useful in specific circumstances, horrendously inefficient and honestly so expensive that it's genuinely better just to suck it up for a few more hours rather than burn several hundred tonnes of fuel on a trip that with modern planes would take a fraction of the amount. Doesn't stop plane enthusiasts like myself from loving this thing to bits. Everyone loves a droop snoot. Amazing piece of history, definitely worth looking into more!

[@RushIndustries]

I will be receiving this set soon and hope that LEGO produces a SR-71 in a similar form factor.

[@drvalen4502]

God I can't wait for this set. I learned about the Concorde watching airplane accident videos. It was fraught with issues that eventually lead to it being fazed out. Only a few are left in Britain last i checked. But it's still a sick looking airplane
