I already bought 1! Can't wait for it to arrive!
ReplyI'm gonna buy 2 of them! it is so cool!
ReplySo cool. I want it soo much but i'm broke
ReplyI think it's a good set too, but I don't think I'll get it.
ReplySame
This looks great, but could use some improvements on the nose section of the 747, and the connection between the rear horizontal stabilizers and tail section. I anticipate quite a few rebrickable mods to smooth out the nose section and tail. I like the inclusion of retractable landing gear, I hope Lego starts to include the gear doors as well in the design. Also, the engines will need to be modded, they look a little small. But I love the concept and will probably buy this set.
ReplyShorted version he will buy it
Eh is ok
ReplyI can't wait to get it and I'm so looking forward to get and it will be a bigger challenge for me to build it
ReplyCan't wait! My husband will be stoked!
ReplyI've been waiting for a 747!
ReplyI will buy this because I saw Enterprise on the SCa at Stansted England in 1983. I bought Discovery and converted it to STS-48 UARS which is the Shuttle I saw launched.
ReplyI had an Airfix kit of this hanging from my ceiling. This would be an awesome build. Exciting 😎😎
ReplyI'm excited to hear this finally the shuttle carrier is getting some recognition
ReplyI remember going to Offit air force bace to see this as a kid
ReplyMy reason for buying at age 51...a big core memory of this flying over our house while all my friends and I played wiffle ball! Something I will never forget!!!
ReplyThat would be awsome. A lot of people would buy this most definitely
ReplyThey could the challenger and give you a bag of pieces with no instructions and some missing
ReplyToo soon!
???
ReplyConorde was 1000pcs, the last shuttle was 2400 (slightly less if you consider the Hubble) so If this is both the 747 & the discovery I don't see it being very large for 2400, in my opinion this should've just been the 747 by itself
ReplyThe concord is 2083 pieces, I'm building it now
I visit the one in Houston yearly. I'll be excited to have this in the collection.
ReplySorry, already have 2 shuttles. Don't need or want another.
ReplyLooking forward to it.
Can't imagine it being very big with only 2417 pieces.. you need to make the shuttle and the 747... the Shuttle was the same size as a DC-9 the concorde alone was almost as many pieces as a 2 plane kit...
ReplyYes but the concorde have an interior systèmes for his gear, i think they wont do it for the 747 so maybe he would be approximatively the same size. Sorry for my English i m french
America no thks
ReplySounds pretty cool! I love Space!
ReplyLove it!!!! I can't wait
ReplyPersonally, would love to see a miniature adaption of each of the shuttles
ReplyYes!!! Also bring the falcon heavy
ReplyYes please !
ReplyAgreed on piece count. 2400 could go for the 747 alone. If they do what they did with Concorde it's going to be awesome.
ReplyNothing American, thanks.
ReplySuper cool. Only 2417 pieces seems a bit small though. Possibly not as detailed as this set should deserve.
ReplyYes ! An absolute addition to the space collection!
ReplyHopefully they include bricks with the names of each one to give us options. Personally, I'd use Endeavour since I got to climb aboard the 747 when Endeavour was sitting atop the jet way back when. Phenomenal experience!
ReplyReally! That would have been AWESOME!!!!
Even though I'm excited for this I was hoping Lego would do other shuttles like Endeavour and Atlantis
