LEGO Icons 10318 Concorde takes brick-built toilets to new heights

For people made from plastic, LEGO minifigures never need to be without a toilet – even when travelling on 10318 Concorde.

With every new LEGO release comes the same question – where do the minifigures poop? Well, perhaps not every LEGO set, but it does seem to be a question that the LEGO Group designers are preoccupied with. The LEGO NINJAGO team put together an entire flushing system, complete with a brown stud, in 71799 NINJAGO City Markets, while the release of 21338 A-Frame Cabin caused controversy with what looked like an abnormally large toilet roll. Even classy locales like 10312 Jazz Club included a hidden toilet.

LEGO Icons 10318 Concorde is taking toilet-based design principles to brand-new heights, with not one but two tiny brick-built toilets included in the LEGO plane’s functionality. In true commercial plane style, the cubicles look suitably cramped, at just two by one studs wide.

The placement of the toilets, as with everything else on the brick-built Concorde, is accurate to the real-life plane, positioned just in front of the visible section of seats. The exterior panels of the plane can lift off in one section to reveal the brown seats and toilet cubicles, so you can rest assured that your (albeit imaginary) LEGO passengers will have somewhere to do their business.

Unlike other previously mentioned toilet examples, these toilets, like the rest of the plane, are not minifigure-scale. Indeed, a LEGO minifigure wouldn’t even be able to fit one stud-sized foot inside the rim of this flying loo. Nonetheless, it’s a testament to how much attention to detail has gone into 10318 Concorde that the toilet cubicles made it in.

10318 Concorde will be available for its first flight onto shop shelves on September 4 for VIP members, priced at £169.99 / $199.99 / €199.99, with a wider release of the model due from September 7.
