Been waiting for this one

[@TheLegoBrick2011]

I'm wondering why the planes wings don't use plates. Will it change the pricing of the set?

[@Av-vd3wk]

7:26 - if you’re doing fair and unbiased reviews, why don’t you mention or call out the obvious misalignment in the red striping?

[@gillesnullens]

​@@Av-vd3wkhe did mention it wtf ?

[@DarthKanye]

surprisngly low price tag, I was expecting at least 400

[@putsinishez9782]

I like the "left over supports" for this big models, a few extra pieces to help the building process is a good thing. Thje building process is part of the fun

[@RandomCommenter-qu2oc]

If it doesn’t affect the price then I don’t mind it, and I welcome it

[@noaho0862]

Would have been kind of cool if the parts were used for the stand or something.

[@raiden1425]

@@noaho0862 true, but the stand's archway pieces are perfect for it regardless

[@michaelc3977]

My father was a licenced aircraft engineer for British Airways and serviced Concorde for the lifetime of the aircraft. I can't wait to buy this and give it to him to build for me. So proud of him and his service on one of mankinds greatest technological achievements, and the model looks absolutely stunning! Amazing!

[@thatonefan387]

I thank your father for flying the most amazing plane ever

[@Enforcer_Zer0]

This might be a bold statement, but after seeing how engaging this build is from beginning to end, this might be one of the best LEGO sets ever made. No stickers, absolutely beautiful, large final product with moving functions, and an engaging build from beginning to end? $200 kinda seems like a steal!

[@astonm1990]

Indeed, love that there are no stickers (I always build my technic sets with minimum amount of stickering, only the functional ones) and honestly I thought this build would be repetitive and boring, boy I was wrong.

[@Jessikitty2020]

I agree with that statement as I just finished mine.

[@rev6330]

I only agree halfway after building mine. Everything you mentioned is 100% true, but sadly, the color accuracy is once again terrible. The wings are not white, they are literaly 50 shades of grey, full pun intended. That's a bummer, because otherwise it might have been a near-perfect set, close to the Saturn V. But still, great set, 8.5/10 for me.

[@Jessikitty2020]

@@rev6330 everyone needs to get over the color variations. Seriously, who GAF about it? LEGO produces parts all over the world, there’s bound to be some differences. You want perfect, build a plastic model kit instead.

[@mewimi]

For me... it is really hard to beat Discovery :3

[@sEngineer-il8im]

I would absolutely love to see more aviation sets from Lego!

[@abigailcruz1977]

[@Nam3y123]

I have seen supports be used by Lego before, mostly in older Technic sets where they were used to keep front & rear wheels aligned. However, I'm pretty sure the leftovers of those sets were repurposed into later parts of the build. The Starry Night set also has a lot of extra 1x4 plates that are acknowledged in the manual, probably to give some leeway if you make a mistake building the back "wall". Overall though, I've never seen anything like the supports here. I do like them, though!

[@Sauci55on]

I remember the Mustang used the pieces for the nitro tank as supports for the front bumper before being used to build said tank

[@rc-fannl7364]

Yeah, like with the mustang, some brick round 2 x 2 were used as support, but later used as 'nitro-tank' or so. So not really leftovers

[@the21andonly]

Exactly what I was thinking of, 8421 and 42009 did this with the parts that synchronized the wheel axles, but they were used later in the build

[@thomasstevenhebert]

It’s really too bad they didn’t use them in the stand.

[@votwomax01]

The 10248 Ferrari F40 used extra pieces for stabilization that were not repurposed back into the set (I think green 1x4 plates).

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

A truly unique and substantial build with great, and unusual techniques throughout. Very impressed how solid, and stable the plane is given it's sheer length and precariously balanced stand. Also really like how all the parts all printed and not stickered. Needs to become the standard of all Lego Icons sets at some point given the 18+ target audience and how much they cost.

[@cssghostPL]

The best part of the video is the information about "swooshability". It's so big everyone can feel like child again. :D

[@GodmanchesterGoblin]

Agreed. It's a vital care-about for any model airplane. As someone of pension age, I still like to swoosh my Lego Sopwith Camel biplane from time to time. 😅

[@rubeiro]

Actually a set I'm excited about this year.

[@Sauci55on]

« - The Concorde featured a droop snoot. - A droop snoot? - Yeah, the snoot would droop. -The snoot drooped. »

[@joebo9378]

I have built many complex Lego sets, such as the 9800R Liebherr excavator. The tricks used in this set are without a doubt the most advanced building techniques I have every seen in a production Lego set. Normally these are only used to create the displays at the Lego land amusement parks. Definitely looking forward to building this.

[@SYLRMHA]

Calling the Liebherr complex is just a joke

[@joebo9378]

@@SYLRMHA Did you build one in 1-sitting?

[@pastalover2757]

I quite like the livery they went with actually. The Concorde test livery is quite famous in its own right and was pretty much the only way you'd have seen Concorde looking between its First flight in 1969 and 1976 when airlines first began to fly it. There's an aircraft museum near where I live which has one of the original Concorde prototypes and thus it's in this livery too

[@AdamJasper18]

Seeing this build really excites me for the future. It's amazing how just a handful of new pieces opens up so many possibilities for clever techniques

[@randomrebuilds]

$200 for a plane that over a meter long - best bang for the buck for '23! Can't wait to get a set to build and hang on the wall (hoping someone makes a custom 3D printed wall mount for this Concorde.

[@Squirrel_101]

Thanks for the video! Such a classic set, incredible details. Can't wait to build this one myself

[@vladlupascu5514]

Wow, I think last time I was really impressed by a Lego set was many years ago when I built the Arocs. Since then, I was always left after the impression that Lego could do more with their more complicated sets. And this Concorde is just wonderful in every way I can think of. Mad respect for the designing team that brought this to life. I hope one day they'll bring back the fun in Technic as well, because they are rocking the system builds nowadays. And thank you for making this video such an immersive experience, it really felt like I was building it :)

[@mkprofessionalism]

I love this build! I greatly appreciate you highlight all the genius building solutions. Better than I thought. 😀

[@glenn-perthwesternaustrali5916]

I was very impressed with your video and commentary. I love all the little comments you throw in as the build takes place as to how and why things are done and also how some parts can be a bit tricky to put together. The finished product looks great and I might just have to go out and buy it now. After watching your presentation and how well you came across in the video, I've now subscribed to your channel. Thanks again.

[@jamiesworld1690]

Lego should released two versions of this concorde one on British Airways livery or air France livery or released sticker for the livery

[@steampaul3442]

3:08 those 6x1x5 slopes are only technically new for this year. they are variants with bottom stud holders of a piece that existed since 1999.

[@BulaMeister]

Wow, this looks like a very satisfying build ! This is a great tribute to one of the most beautiful planes in history!

[@bd-vdwd2139]

This set is awesome, and you detailed review convinced me to purchase a Concorde. Can’t wait to build it and use the various fantastic building techniques

[@Evaunit98]

I absolutely adore Concorde and this set more than does in justice, I love it

[@SparkRattle]

I used to make single layer wings like those when I was a kid. Never thought it would actually be built this big. It's amazing! Really want one in my studio.

[@jswatts1967]

I just finished building this and enjoyed the build very much but I enjoy the finished result even more - looks amazing! What's more - it really is totally swooshable!

[@RyanPerrella]

@RacingBrick you’ve shown the absolute BEST idea on how to utilize the awesome giant sized Lego technic supercar series by mounting it on a matching background (reminds me of Porsche’s history of great marketing) and then mounting to the wall vertically, I have just the space to put such a thing and now I can totally justify the few hundred dollar cost as the equivalent of a nicely framed whatever. Great job friend. Great review of the Concorde.

[@aaronboor2818]

Beautiful. Thanks for the review.

[@aero7262]

Truly one of the greatest sets ever made.

[@Jessikitty2020]

I got mine from the Lego store 9/4 as soon as they opened. 5 build hours later it’s done. I have to agree with you that it’s like building a big speed champions set. Engaging and not too repetitive and the finished model is awesome. It’s my new favorite also. As good as the space shuttle and Saturn V.

[@Tirana44]

Really enjoyed your review. Your enthusiasm for this model really comes through. Having watched your video, I’ve now ordered the model. Can’t wait to build it!

Depending on the mod the large cars like Mustang and Camaro have parts left. Bonsai has many parts between it's transition, but not leftovers.

Ok, after watching the review - this is awesome. So can we now expect to get a series of planes in speed champions approach? Ideally I would love to have WWII warbirds, but that's out of the question, so maybe just commercial airliners and small private planes and helicopters?

[@smit__luc6659]

They have both the Airbus and Boeing licences now so maybe

[@Glitcherbrine]

First reviewer of this set I've seen quote the droop snoop interview meme. xD That made me very happy, lol.

[@username9774]

Definitely a awesome set

[@hyphencubed]

one of the only lego sets that will be a day 1 buy for me as an avgeek

[@SOUTHENDAVIATION]

The only gripe I have with the set is the lack of landing gear doors, so the gear is always exposed which makes it looks a bit ugly. Certainly going to get my hands on the set though and perhaps look into covering the exposed landing gear even if that means loosing the gear retracting functionality.

[@waynesbutler7834]

I am with you on that , i was thinking the same thing when i get this set , my OCD needs a fix for those exposed landing gear but most wont care because it still is an amazing set ..

[@thatsjustplanecrazy2129]

if you look on rebrickable in about 2 months there will be fixes to all the problems in the set

[@Leonid_333]

Now it's my favourite set.

[@kavishadanwatte210]

My first big build. And enjoyed every bit of it. Love this so much. Wish I had bigger hands and muscles to play with it hahaha. And a bigger table for display. But the smaller desk highlights how big this beast is.❤

Those support parts were always a staple in mega brand sets

Recently I got to walk around, under, and inside a Concorde. Truly a magnificent metal bird.

[@neilstaff5650]

This is the LEGO set I always wanted to build it look real good

[@mr.platinum8011]

Wow! Normally more into Technic sets, but man this one is build fenomally technical with system bricks! Great insights there Balazs : )

[@ninjafruit816]

The orange connector at 3:45 is used for disassembly of the Concorde. When you push the axle in on step 140 after assembling the fuselage, it "fixes" the fuselage to the wing and you can damage the pieces with brute force disassembly. You can reach the orange connector with a long axle from the landing gear bay to undo step 140 before disassembly. Not too intuitive, but it's nice they considered it and learned from the AT-AT mishap...

[@Cromfeld]

I finished withit. It is stunning. I also have the Discovery, but the Concorde overrules it. I've found the Ikea Billy + Höogbo combination to fit the Concorde diagonally and the shuttle with also fit into the upper part.

[@tooth_sucking3901]

Love the new background 👍

[@Bruno74823..]

That will look epic at the side of the space shuttle

[@garryfield5319]

i may well buy this....soon!

[@hannsullrich7148]

Great video and I am excited to build mine. It is too bad that they didn't model after the first production model. I recall as a kid seeing the Concorde for the first time in my dad's Aviation Week magazine with British Airways on one side, and Air France livery on the other side as a special inaugural livery. Then again, I was 7 years old, but that's what i remember.

[@_duta_]

It's the same livery as the example in the Imperial War Museum in Duxford England.

[@PedroBorges9]

Yep, Concorde G-AXDN one of the first pre-production models

[@intothebluemr]

Just to add to the comments, I remember the Lego Technic Crawler (41999) having structural supports that weren't used in the end build. I've literally just finished this build and it's amazing.

Saw this at a storefront, genuinely considering buying this set after like 10 years.

[@neilrwilliams218]

When I built the Discovery I felt it was fragile until a certain point, so the orange pieces are probably to counter those criticisms. I'm impressed with the set but I have nowhere to display it.

[@trenttimothywisemanjmj2094]

Great review 😊

[@rezusdanieltudorsLEGOchannel]

The big parts that where left at the end of the build where use to support the it! LEGO does this sometimes! For exemple in the LEGO Creator Expert Ferrari f40 they use two 1x4 green plates to support the back of the car during building!

[@johnchivers5860]

I’m sure people will come up with alternative vertical stabilisers for the alternative liveries

[@revilo.k3215]

Fantastic build. Not just for protection btw, the nose cone drooped, so they could see when landing.

Super video.

[@MrKlawUK]

reminds me a little of the UCS Imperial Shuttle wings

[@mrcelsius2928]

Orange axle connector peice with hole I used it like that to connect a small axle to a long axle for a 4 wheel drive RC car Longer axle to connect front wheels and back wheels in same motors
