Although first information about 2024 LEGO sets is already circulating, there are still a few new ones left for this year.
These new sets also include the new LEGO Icons Concorde, which is due to be released this September. Now first images of the long-awaited set have surfaced, which of course we don't want to withhold from you.
The building technique of the LEGO Concorde is very similar to the one of the LEGO Icons 10283 Space Shuttle from 2021. The snot technique is used to build the wings of the plane with the Rolls-Royce engines underneath them.
Although the set is kept in miniature scale, the model of the Concorde is 100cm or 40in long.
Using a mechanism inside of the set, the wheels can be folded out and the snoot can be adjusted up and down. The model consists of a total of 2083 LEGO bricks. Also included besides the plane itself is a stand which conveys a wooden look.
The LEGO Icons Concorde will be released on September 4th and will be available for purchase at a price of $199.99.

What do you think about the new LEGO Concorde? Let us know in the comments!
Perhaps not, but one might say Airbus was made by Concorde.
ReplyCobi hat bereits ein Modell, muss Lego nun auch schon Ideen sammeln? Ich bin begeistert, was ich in den Kommentaren alles über Airbus lerne. Auch danke dafür. Danke für den super Artikel, ich freue mich, mal sehen ob der Preis gerechtfertigt ist. Danke für die Recherche.
ReplyThe Concorde was NOT made by Airbus... whats going on here?
Reply@Dave Airbus acquired Aérospatiale (Sud Aviation) in 2000 thereby acquiring rights and supplying parts for Concorde
Sorry but this is the best the Lego designers could come up with?
ReplyFor Australian dollars, it’s possibly gonna be $300 ($350 AUD with taxes and the extra costs they add on when releasing a Lego product)
ReplyHow much in English pounds?
ReplyUnfortunately we currently only know the us dollar price for sure, but I think it should be around 160/170 pounds
How much AUD?
ReplyIt's not clear yet unfortunately, but I think it'll probably be around $310.
Glad to see Lego making aircraft. More aircraft !!!
ReplyLooking forward to it's release. Hope it makes its way to South Africa.
ReplyCan you estimate the size of this Concorde?
ReplyThe model is 100cm or 40in long! Updated the article with the size info now
Said in the article, 1m long
Pls be based off of G-AXDN, I’ve been inside it :D
ReplyThe Lego Concorde is historically wrong - the red stripe is too thin, placed below the passenger window line instead of on it, and incorrectly extends forward of the main door. This is a printed line on parts - don't understand why it's inaccurate.
ReplyIf you look at the top left image on the back of the box, you can see that the red stripe is brick built not printed
wow! the snoot droops!! droop snoot
ReplyHow big is it
ReplyJust over one metre long
Kinda wish they had decals for British Airways or Air France versions.
ReplyAgreed, would definitely be a nice touch!
Airbus are the legacy manufacturer, previously known as Sud Aviation
ReplyThey used Airbus as they knew the most about Concorde. Airbus was the only company that could give Concorde a certificate of air worthiness. So it is only right for Airbus to be used as they own blueprints and mechanical sketches
ReplyBecause Airbus emerged from Aérospatiale, one of the manufacturers of Concorde, and the licensing rights accordingly passed to Airbus.
ReplyThe companies that built Concorde amalgamated into Airbus. Had they refurbished it in 2003 it would have been done by Airbus, and they were making replacement parts then too, but they had no interest in continuing the project, which was one of the reasons why it was retired.
ReplyThe original companies are now part of Airbus and BAE for the French and British sides respectively
ReplySud Aviation became Aerospatiale which then helped form Airbus for anyone who is confused. Plus Airbus manufactured spare parts for the Concorde until the 2000s
ReplyThats Sick af
ReplyThe Aérospatiale/BAC Concorde (/ˈkɒŋkɔːrd/) was a Franco-British airliner jointly developed and manufactured by Sud Aviation (later Aérospatiale then Airbus) and the British Aircraft Corporation (later British Aerospace now BAE SYSTEMS) it had nothing to do with Airbus brand).
ReplyBut the Technical Authority for the Aircraft is held by Airbus, they air the only organisation who can licence this product, and they probably provided LEGO with the technical data they needed to develop the set.
It still isn't airbus, no matter what SUD/aerospatiale turned into, so this is factually incorrect.
ReplyAirbus succesor for Aérospatiale
ReplyThis looks increadible, finally lego is making something official that is aviation related
ReplyConcorde was owned by airbus at the end
ReplyLooks great!
ReplyAirbus is the successor to the manufacturing consortium that built Concorde and thus own the rights to the aircraft
ReplyConcorde was an Anglo-Franco collaboration that ultimately paved the way for Airbus.
Replynice
Replyprobably cos the companies that built concorde hwve stuff to do with airbus
ReplyConcord ain’t Airbus
ReplyThink it's owned by them now so they've put their logo on the box
yuh lol
No but aerospatiale was merged into them
Concorde was purchased and built by Airbus in the later years. 2001 onwards.
Aeosoatiele became EADS. EADS IS Airbus.
The whole Concorde program is owned by Airbus since the companies that merged into Airbus were the ones who did the Concorde (BAC and Aerospitale, among others)
Aerospatiale > Aerospatiale matra > Airbus Group 😉
Why airbus tho
ReplyIt was built by the British Aircraft Corporation and Aerospatiale and I think Aerospatiale was merged into Airbus so they own it now
AIRBUS holds its copyright
They should've included a Pilot minifigure!
ReplyAgreed! Would be cool if it would be attached next to the stand or something
