It’s nearly three and a half feet long.

The $200 Lego Icons Concorde is nearly three and a half feet long, has a 17-inch (43cm) wingspan, and three neat tricks up its sleeve. Not only does it capture many of the real plane’s iconic curves, but it’s also got an incredible Lego mechanism hidden inside to raise and lower its landing gear with a twist of the tail cone on the end.

    Some of these more complex and expensive Lego sets kind of defeat the original intention of a brick building system with generic blocks used to approximate real life things.

    To be clear, I LOVE Lego, but with so many custom pieces on some of these sets, at what point does a Lego set simply becomes a model set??
