In the market for a Concorde? LEGO Icons 10318 Concorde brings all the luxury of the most famous supersonic plane to your LEGO collection.
LEGO Icons 10318 Concorde landed on shelves on September 1, 2023, capturing the unique outline of the iconic plane from droop nose to the working landing gear. The interior is just as meticulously detailed as the exterior, kitted out with luxurious miniature brown leather seats and even a tiny toilet – although not built to minifigure scale.
Nonetheless, 10318 Concorde does stick to a tight scale throughout its 2,083 pieces, making it authentically accurate to the proportions of the original plane.
How long does it take to build the LEGO Concorde?
The rhythmic nature of the build of 10318 Concorde means it takes between five and six hours to build – less time than it would have taken the original Concorde to fly from London to New York and back again. The build is made up of 21 bags, containing (predictably) white parts within those bags, several of which appear in this colour for the first time.
LEGO fans will be pleased to note there are no stickers involved, with a surprising amount of unique printed parts that help elevated 10318 Concorde still further.
How much is LEGO Icons 10318 Concorde?
The usual price of the LEGO Icons set is £169.99 / $199.99 / €199.99, and we rarely see discounts on it. It’s only stocked at a few third-party retailers and hasn’t been on shelves long enough to warrant an ongoing sale at LEGO.com just yet.
What scale is LEGO 10318 Concorde?
While the LEGO Group hasn’t officially confirmed the scale, some maths has revealed that, based on the fact that 10318 Concorde is three and a half feet and a real Concorde is 202 feet long, it’s built to roughly a 1:58 scale, which can be more simply rounded up to 1:60.
Where to buy LEGO Concorde
As noted above, the LEGO Group is likely your main port of call when it comes to buying 10318 Concorde. It’s marked as LEGO exclusive and, while this doesn’t mean it’s not sold at any other third-party retailers, it does certainly mean it’s rare to find elsewhere.
