I Love This Set, When I Heard The News About This Set Being Made,I Instantly Fell In Love With It. I Was Finally Able To Buy It After Saving My Money For A Couple Of Months (1 or 2 Months) And It Is Well Worth The Wait. I Previously Had Purchased The Lego Icons Concorde and Back then it was the only humongous Lego Airplane Set From the Icons Series. This Looks Amazing On My Shelf With The Concorde!!! I Love This Plane! Before This Set Was Released Everyone (at least lego plane enthusiasts) was waiting for Lego To release a new Icons Plane Set but I didn’t expect it to be a 747, but it is! I love The Build! For Someone Like Me, I Could Get This Built in around 6-7 hours( im not sure though because i didn’t time it) but The Finished Project is Awesome! The feeling when you place the last piece on the set is very Exciting and happy! The Nose Is A Bit Stubby On The 747 But That’s not really a Concern. It’s Tied With The Concorde For My Favorite Set Ever Released By Lego! I Would Highly Recommend This to anyone that is A Aviation Enthusiast because All throughout the sets instructions are these little fun facts that are actually really interesting and informative! Another Cool Thing You Can Do Is Store The Space Shuttle’s Landing Gears and Engine Inside The Shuttle’s Cargo Bay, Which Does In-Fact Open Like The Real Thing! This Is An Amazing Set And A Beautiful Aircraft, The Plane Weights Around 2-3 pounds (i think, correct me if i’m wrong) But It’s Just Such A Good Set! I Am Very Happy With This Set And I Hope This Review Helps People To Understand How Good Of A Set This Is
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts about the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft set! We're so happy to hear you love it and enjoyed the details and building experience. We're also glad it fits perfectly with your Concorde, sounds like your collection is ready for take off!
nice build but way to many buttons on the wings and elsewhere, could have been a lot smoother. I will try to cover these with smooth flat pieces.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great set with major flaws

This set is awesome at first glance, but then when you start building it, you realize how flimsy it is and the stand is the worst part. Lego created a great set and then ended up putting it on the worst stand.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for sharing your building experience! It must be frustrating building your set while it's feeling flimsy. If you decide to revisit your build, we'd suggest double checking it as there may be a piece slightly off from where it's meant to be. Make sure to press each piece tightly together! Please reach out at LEGO.build/Service-BV so our brick-helpers can help troubleshoot it with you.

Design correction of a mostly good idea

This design was good except the stabilizers were too big so I corrected this by taking them off the plane and reducing the size before remounting them. The stand is also hard to use when it is mounted on a low surface like a coffee table as it's hard to do the proper alignment by feel.
