  • We're so excited to reconnect with LEGO builder Jack Carleson at Bricks by the Bay to check out his massive 40,000+ brick Airbus A380 airliner. This minifigure-scale recreation of the world's largest passenger airliner is an engineering marvel: completely freestanding and equipped with motorized flaps as well as detailed LED lighting! Jack shares with us his build process and gives us a peek at this model's interior!

    His planes just get bigger and bigger!
    I bet he could make an amazing Nuclear Sub or International Space Station.

    That's amazing! I can't even wrap my mind around such an idea that one kid could build such a complex plane

    LEGO is just the best. So happy to watch such amazing work like this. I would love to know how much something like this would cost parts wise.

      according to first result on google, LEGO piece is like 11 cents on avg, this A380 is estimated to have ~40k pieces, so it will be around $4.5k parts only (+electronics; + some premium packaging if it was official LEGO set; + surely i forgot about something), so we are looking at $5-6k price tag for set :P
