We built LEGO Concorde from start to finish (and you can win one!)

*Win your very own LEGO Icons Concorde set! Watch the video to find out how and if you’re the lucky winner we’ll get it mailed out to you at the end of October.*

This is the LEGO Icons Concorde set, and in this video Ian Petchenik is building one from start to finish. Created in collaboration with Airbus, this set is perhaps one of the most beautiful things LEGO has ever produced. It’s huge: 2,083 pieces in total and weighing in at 6.6 pounds or 3 kilograms. When built it’s 40 inches or 100 centimeters long.

We’re going to build it and talk about some of the unique features of the actual Concorde as we work our way through the steps, from the droop nose to the Olympus engines. And we’ll check out some of the unique features of the model itself.

This model was sent to us by LEGO and Airbus and we’re paying it forward. Watch to the end to see how you can be entered to win this set

And we’re sitting in the jumpseat which means we have 3 hours on this very-long-haul-for-a-turboprop over the ice cap and remote east Greenland plus the Atlantic Ocean.
