For some V-tail passenger get concepts from business to airliner sized, Google up Boeing NLA, SE Aeronautics SE200, Embraer 2022 autonomous concept, NASA CESTOL, OVR-4500 AuroraJet, Eviation Alice, Airbus Concept Plane 2050. The *really* weird stuff is actually even more feasible. Designers are itching to get us unlocked from the past 50 years' meta. Can't ever move forward if we're paralyzed by fear of things that are different!
When people complain about things like the v-tail I’d like to remind them that it’s Lego and you can customize it how you see fit
Facts
the design also looks like it had a modification like that in mind.
Honestly I was going to comment this very same thing. Like did they not watch the Lego movie? You Don't have to follow the instructions 100% but I guess some people do not want to stray from the instructions at all
Not only that, but there are real life aircraft that have V-tails like the Beechcraft Bonanza.
My only real complaint is the cockpit nose one, but it’s not too distracting.
That's not a good argument since that also means that you can't criticize Lego sets for literally anything because you can customize it.
The flash on pieces has become a huge problem lately! I've been getting a bunch of pieces with chunks out of them or with excess plastic sticking off pieces that need to be flush up against another one. I've found myself actively checking where the mold mark is on pieces before placing them lately, so I dont have unsightly marks in the sides of my very expensive Lego display pieces. This all is making Lego feel more and more like a knock off version of its previous self. Absolutely sad.
The size and complexity difference between the luggage tow and the plane tow looks completely appropriate to me, based on what I've seen at airports.
I wish the lektro we use looked half as cool as the lego version lol
Yeah, as far as I'm concerned the tug could've been even more complex if they made it more realistic. I think we haven't really gotten a proper tug like that before so it's pretty nice to get one.
Someday, it would be great to see Lego make a passenger plane that comes with a boarding tunnel. I could see it happening if they released a large-scale airport at the same time that could connect to it. Both sets would probably have to be pretty expensive, though.
Lego City is doing it right rn
It’s definitely a major upgrade from the last passenger plane, and the color scheme is plenty attractive to me
I remember either reading or hearing a few years back about how Lego City sets are kind of designed to be set in a more forward-facing version of reality, hence all the sustainable farm-to-table organic markets and solar panels and electric cars in modern sets, and I think the V-tail on this plane is a perfect example of that! I think it’s cool that kids today are playing with toys that demonstrate what our world could be like as opposed to necessarily being completely accurate to what it is. Good set! I like it a lot.
As someone who was a child with the full nostalgia for playing with the 2006 passenger plane that I still have built on my shelf, this is an instant buy!
The bent wing is one downside to having a single, large piece like that. I hope you can get it replaced; I noticed it right away from the start of the video, and thought "well, that's unfortunate". Overall though, I agree with you. I used to love the planes from the 80's and 90's at the time, but this one looks much more realistic than those old ones ever did.
I have several of the older designs - they are one single wing - and none of mine are bent; several were purchased used on Bricklink, while others can new with sets I purchased. I don't have this set yet, but just a rough estimate based on this review, and I'd say the 2 pieces are probably within an inch or a couple cm of the same length. But the older wing pieces are thinner.
I personally really like the look of the push tug, while it's a bit on the big side, I just think it looks cool.
I just wish the vtail could articulate some (maybe with a mechanism so they move in concert) but that's probably more complex than is appropriate for this age range
Edit: I actually like the flexible wing too, it's actually kinda realistic with modern designs
I'm pleased to see the return of the old small-style wheels and tyres for some of the ground vehicles. I had so many Lego cars that used those years ago, but they've become virtually redundant in recent times. The set overall looks good, still not a fan of the rear stabiliser, but very much liking the engine design.
Side note - I remember watching Jang's review of 60022 - cargo plane - which TH-cam says was ten years ago! Wow! Time flies!
I'm surprised people are so grumpy about the v tail. It's very easily changeable, possibly representitive of what we could see in the future, and also, looks cool, which to a kid is probably more appealing (and kinda is to me too!)
Why out of all parts Lego would decide to change the material of the long thin wing pieces to a weaker material is beyond me
Because it's more flexible, and therefore less brittle. With a really long, wide, flat piece, you'd rather it have some give and bend than have no give and snap.
I feel like every time you see a new lego passenger plane it's one of the best, which is great to see. I feel like sometimes modern Lego feels simplified or smaller compared to the old stuff, but this line is always the same good stuff with modern tricks
I like the shaping of the wing root area and fuselage belly on this new wing part, as some new real planes have the same bulge to house an optional third fuel tank (instead of a luggage bay) under the floors. The benefit is of course no wing spars in the passenger cabin so more Lego travellers!
12 passengers seats is wild and great to see
Okay, so, here I am. A 42yr old guy from the Netherlands watching all these Lego video's of Jang(Bricks). Allthough I am a Lego fan, I do not invest in it, because of, you know, other responsibilities, but I love to watch these videos, of Jang specifically. I don't know what it is. I watch these late at night in bed when my familiy is asleep, because of the very calming, soothing voice of Jang. I like everything about it, the sets, the way you/he talks, the little things that you see in almost all video's where he says 'little bit of a suggestion of , the trying to justify the prices of the sets. It kind of takes me back to when I was a child, and I had a lot of Lego back then. I grew up in the 80's, so I had a lot of Space and Medieval (is that how you write that? you know, knights, castles..) sets. It's kind of like a throwback to my childhood.
So, I would like to thank you sir. For making these video's, for helping me sleep (I know this does not sound like a compliment but it is meant as one), for giving me joy while watching these reviews, for giving me that feeling of wonder, as I had as a child when opening up lego sets I got at birthdays and Christmas.
Keep 'm coming!
I love how we got ground stuff like the tug, and baggage truck. The terminals would always raise the price and be useless.
as a person who was a child in 2006 who has that plane sitting a few feet from me, I can say that this one gives it a serious run for its money. The interior floor of the plane being flat all the way through and the inclusion of the bathroom and cargo hold make it functionally much better than the 2006 plane. The other accessories I wont compare because that other set was only $40 but just the plane itself is seriously nice this year.
I am incredibly satisfied with this, every aspect of it made me smile. From the reasonable price (especially for today's standards), the spacious interior, and the useful sidebuilds, this is in my opinion the best commercial airplane set that lego has ever made.
I can confirm that just like the Commander Fox figure, this V-tail has "caused me direct mental, psychological, and physical harm" lol
Bruh
The one thing that always slightly bothers me is how short this plane is lol, and that's a bit of a consistent issue with most of Lego's plane sets. But I'm not the target audience of this, it's clearly a toy and it still looks quite good.
A fantastic set. I would have loved it as a kid. It’s a pity that quality control has let us down again given how expensive the set is.
14:59 the minifig with the huge telephoto camera lens; could this be a suggestion of a plane-spotter or plane fan type of person?
This set is fantastic! I think the sheer size of the wings will always end up keeping me from ever buying an airplane set
Driverless shuttles are indeed a thing, I've personally used one more then once myself to get from parking to the airport itself.
I ended up converting mine to a standard tail configuration using only a handful of extra parts which definitely made it more appealing to me, but the set as it stands out of the box is still fantastic honestly. I don't buy City sets often and the last time I had a plane was the one back in 2006, so this was a real treat! Definitely worth the price I feel.
I do not like the tail wing, but not because of the angle, I know it is a real setup, but because of how its build. Everything else has limited studs, but it has so many. Also, its connection.
The canopy looks awesome. I would've loved this as a kid!
It is crazy that I forgot entirely about Lego’s promises to use paper bags until jang pointed it out again… seriously, where are they?!
The only place I've seen them is in photos in the instructions explaining that there may be a mix of plastic and paper bags in the set! :) I guess their tests with paper haven't gone well, and the sharp edges of the bricks and plates have caused rips/tears? I know I've had some sets lately that have had torn plastic bags...
I was just opening the Concorde model while watching this and I got A paper bag! One out of 20+. 😂
Jang I love the V-tail - I thought at first it was a 'design liberty' but having looked into this style of tail some weeks ago was pleasantly surprised to see it is a 'thing' - really good all over design that I feel is well priced. Based on your review along (and I know you like your aviation stuff) I'll get at some point soon.
Yes props to Lego for thinking outside the box with the aircraft design. However, if I ever purchase this set, it will be modified, to what’s REAL.
Pretty good set the only thing I don’t like is how big the plane’s “forehead” looks I wish it was a more subtle transition from the cockpit to the rest of the fuselage. I hope I’m explaining that right
Would a traditional tail be better? Yes. Is the V-tail a deal-breaker for me? No. Other than that relatively small issue, the set looks genuinely great.
Thanks for the entertaining and thorough reviews. :)
On the quality of the pieces; I've personally had to take a razor knife to some of the pieces of the most recent marvel mechs, sad it see that it wasn't a fluke.
best lego commercial airliner set ever
As someone who works very near an airport I see a lot of very interesting aircraft designs from v-tails for forward swept wings, albeit they’re all smaller private aircraft though. The v-tail on this looks great. It’s the size of the engines that bother me the most, but I can change that because it’s LEGO.
With every new set, it gets harder and harder to justify spending such a premium on the brand name of LEGO. Especially when third party brands are now creating products of equal or greater quality for significantly cheaper. LEGO is charging more than ever before while providing less than ever before.
120 USD for a bent wing and visibly noticeable flash on their pieces is simply unacceptable.
Definitely would love to add this to my plane collection. I like the V tail because it looks cool and because it's something different, even if it was total fantasy. I just don't know if the budget will stretch that far with so many other goodies to pick up.
It's so interesting to me that the color scheme of the airplane looks exactly like MALÉV planes. MALÉV used to be the hungarian airlines a long time ago. It since has sadly defunct. Another this thing is not only the colours (dark blue, white, lime) but the logo on it, those triple dark blue lines look soooo similar to the letter M on the MALÉV logo. It's definetely something that only Hungarians notice maybe, but I thought I would write it here😅
The bus looks exactly like the self-driving buses we used to have in Oslo
the sink in the bathroom showed up out of nowhere and blew me away
I am split on this set. The plane speaks of an Airbus design, and the inclusion of the V-tail is a fun addition, but the overall design looks too boxy for me. I like the ground support vehicles, they certainly adds more play value to the whole set. It would have been a little humorous if the pilots would have optional fear-faces. Thanks for sharing!!!
8:49 The comment on quality reminds me of the story about the founder's son having the bright idea to only paint on two layers of paint...
This is the first Lego City Passenger Airplane that catches my attention and it's because of the "V" shaped tail!!! XD It reminds me a lot of Nighthawk! :)
It's really cool they included a little bus, an important part for getting people back and forth from the plane that I didn't know I needed
Thank you Jang. You are the most objective reviewer there is. You help a lot to make a more informed purchase. I liked this set and now I am convinced I will buy without waiting for discounts. Great review!
This set is awesome, especially the vehichles included
I agree its one of the best lego planes ever
A bit expensive
the planes have always seemed like a bit of an oddity to me. They're composed of generally very large, specialty pieces and they feel rather odd to me. Not bad, just odd. I'm also rather surprised that the pieces haven't had any use in other lines.
This was great to see live on Twitch. :)
ThanksJang
Since seeing first images, I felt this was going to be the City Plane set I aim to get, and it will be. I think the side builds do what they are intended to, some better built than others but a good range. The overall selection of minifigures fits this set well IMO, and from price (UK especially) to what the designers intended this set to be, I have been satisfied all-round, and that doesn't happen often with large City vehicle sets.
Built it the other day. A joy to build. Yeah the tail looks a bit odd and the tow truck looks more like a race car but still a nice set. The first class infotainment screens were a nice touch I think.
Re left over items included two orange discs - ideal to put on the towing unit for luggage trailer re flashing lights safety item.
I forgot that this was coming out! As a huge commercial plane enthusiast and LEGO plane fan, this is a must buy for me. [as is the elegant Concorde]. Not a fan of the tow unit, and wish there was an extra baggage cart as that design is so simply and on point - the designer of this plane clearly knows commercial aircraft as there is a lot of pretty dang realistic stuff in this. The new wing piece is epic in design, but flawed in quality. :( Also wishing the mounts for the engines were one or 2 studs further from the fuselage as something about this model makes the engines look too close to the body of the plane for me. Love the cockpit and throttle design, and happy that the new nose piece was packed separately. The brilliant design of the catering cart, scissor lift, and even the luggage tug, is just outstanding. Not a fan of the coloring of the tow vehicle nor the width/size of it. Yes, it needs to be a different color, but I think a pallet that included more orange than that shade of blue, would have made more sense. The interior room is second to none - nothing seems cramped.
The V-tail - I don't mind the look at all, but from what I can see in this video, it looks like one could make a horizontal stab out of the included pieces, and then bricklink the vertical stab. I doubt kids are complaining about the design as much as AFOLs are and AFOLs can just as easily modify the set as kids can [and probably have the pieces to do so quite handy!]. Like EVs, V-tail designs are the future.
The winglet design is unique and I like how curved the look is - not sure about how well those pieces connect to the wing though. I really like the new wing piece, as it clearly has more room for a larger fuselage but making it out of a softer, easier to be bent plastic, is not smart of LEGO. Nor are the all-too-common mold marks on tiles. For me, this is easily worth $100, so a $20 MSRP padding doesn't seem to be too outrageous. I'm sure Amazon will have it on sale in November at $15 off, and since I already missed Day One purchasing, I think I will wait till then [it's so rare and nice to have a year where LEGO releases 2 amazing large plane sets!].
I will say - the plane tow - it should be larger than the luggage tow [bigger onboard engine], but something about the scale of the included one with this set makes it appear *too* big, IMO. And I am not a fan of the color pallet for that vehicle.
Those are all minor nitpicks - I think the biggest issue I'd have with this is more about quality than design. I hope when I do purchase mine, I won't get a Jang "wonky wing" set! [cue R2 wonky prints reference!].
My only big gripe with the set is the lack of a cargo loader. I don’t understand why they’ve made one for the food but not the luggage. Other than that, the plane and the rest look AMAZING!
This is WAYYY cooler than I would have expected
This looks very playable and mostly complete. I love to see this set.
Lego with the 70-200 lens 👍
I appreciate the review video. I would like to see lego cut back on side builds and road pieces or whatever with sets and focus on the main build. Some of the issues you had with the wing and such have me concerned as well.
3:31 THE ONE PIECE IS REAL
Jokes asides thank you for another thoughtful review!
I think the guy with the camera is a plane spotter, not a passenger.
The V tail is a good thing for people that want to build different stuff with the set. Compared to a specialized piece you only get one of or even an intricate brick built tail.
I absolutely love the bus! Upon leaving Paris about a year ago to Spain, I took a little bus to the far end of the taxiway, where an Iberian Airlines plane was. They got this set on the dot: magnificently fun and realistic!
The engines are just plane crazy!
Hey jang! Been a fan for years love the work!
I love your t-shirt Jang! Brings me some ‘feels’
I'm not against the idea of the V tail especially on a 'toy' product.
But they should have gone further and made the rest of it look futuristic or weird, it clashes with the traditional styling.
Hi I got this set for Christmas and I'm obsessed with planes just wondering if anyone knows what this plane is based off minus the tail which I don't mind but I think its either an airbus a 350 or 787 dreamliner with the v tail
They really leaned in on that European LLC look. :)
I actually really like the side builds.
One airline has ordered five thousand Lego planes. But with one modification. They want all the seats moved forward a half stud to accommodate two extra rows of seats.😂
The only problem I have with it is I wish it was just a little bit taller like one more brick tall and like one or two studs in length and then it would be perfect because I'm building it now and putting all the seats with minifigures can be kind of cramped and then there's no space for like a flight attendant to walk the trolley with the drinks they give you to walk down and it can barely fit in as is. That's why I feel like if it was just a little bit taller and a little bit wider it would be perfect
Awesome review
If you get rid of the green it kind of looks like a Lufthansa plane
- mold marks
- warped wing (seen a lot of reports of this)
- inconsistent plastic color
- door doesn't fit
but hey at least the lego companies profit went up by a lot
Only thing I can see missing from this set is a refueling trunk and landing sticks from ground crew
The catering cart door should go the other way so it can actually touch the plane. 10 passengers feels more like a private jet. Could use a few more minifigs to fill up the plane more.
On the wings, I'm torn between wondering if they were trying to produce a large part as (overly) cheaply as possible, or whether they were trying to reproduce the idea of the flexible wings on modern aircraft. I suppose in a way, they could use one as an excuse for the other.
Play value seems pretty great!
If they’re going for a modern near future aircraft with high bypass turbofans, those engines with the near circular duct and flat bottom already sort of look like LEAP 1-Bs on the 737 MAX Series… engine chevrons (the saw tooth pattern) would have been a great look, with an exhaust cone through the middle like the GEnX, LEAP 1-Bs or the RR Trent 1000. People have done this using octagonal plates with modified 1x2 slopes on hinges on custom F-35s. Would definitely be a cool thing to add, if they want to make it seem more realistic. The front looks like a 787 already…. They clearly have enough room on the back of those engines
Set looks great; just wish we got an equally impressive airport to go with it.
Both the captain and co-pilot have 3 stripes on their uniforms. It means they are only qualified as co-pilot and usually they have less flight time. Usually co-pilots are pilot monitoring not pilot flying so it would be interesting to be a minifig passanger and hearing that both your pilots only have a small amount of flight time and limited experience.
I like the guy in the gray sweat clothes and with using the head of the guy sweating he can be used for running or working out at the gym.
As someone who sees 737s on a regular basis & knows that the airport isn't going to spring to upgrade to something newer anytime soon, I would prefer to the classic tail over the v-tail. That said, I like the GSE builds a lot, especially the tractor & TLD, so I'm definitely gonna pick it up anyways.
It's not just you that got droopy wings. What's worse is that in my set, the left and right side droop at different angles. So, when looking at it straight ahead, it's super noticeable.
I would take this set over Concorde every day.
There's a self driving bus at the hospital in my city, it's pretty cool
i love this! the ground vehicles are much better than an airport. at first i didnt like the V but i think its awesome and unique reminds me of cirrus sf50 great that we get a storage place in the back that doesnt take too much space also love the wing because past wings always took space in the cabin
8:20 I bought set 60395 (combo race pack) recently and had a significant number of parts with the same issue. I trimmed the pieces with a hobby knife. Lego isn't Warhammer. I should not have had to do that.
I was planning on getting the TIE Bomber or Executor soon, but now I'm thinking about skipping them.
This is a nice set, this is what 90 USD sets require , nice build and minifigs count , some starwars sets of this same price lack minifig count
The minifigures new camera lens made me laugh in surprise! The minifigure with friends hair gives me lego friends Autumn mini doll vibes
I'm perfectly okay with the idea of the v-tail, but I think it's executed rather unimpressively. I feel they need to be slanted steeper backwards, feels sorta stubby as is
This is pretty nice! The tug almost looks like a Speed Champions car! 😂
I feel bad for that one passenger who paid for a first class seat just to get the 1 without a tv
This is a really well-done set for the most part. The plane is efficient with lots of room for passengers. It has all the major features of a plane. It's great that all the ground support equipment is there. Really completes the scene and play scenarios.
My only issue is I still don't like that the nose of the plane is just made of two highly specialized pieces. In classic sets that would be made of several pieces, and the same parts could he used for other things like boats, spaceships, cars, etc. This nose section isn't very LEGO-like, more like Playmobil or Fisher-Price.
I am shocked the set is only $120!
Unfortunate about the quality control issues though.
You mentioned even more unconventional concepts for planes. I wanna se one with that top slung strut to support longer wingspans.
5:09 Jang, I also have problems with closing the door on mine. I think it’s just the affect of legos quality decrease.
my personal fav will always be the large blue one they released in 2006
Maybe you can shape that bent wing back with a hair dryer and some force in the opposite direction?
