Does anyone remember the LEGO 6544 Space Shuttle Piggy-Back Plane from the 1995 Town range? No – just us? Well here’s a really big version! Which is itself a really small version of the real-life NASA Space Shuttle transport. This is the brand new LEGO Icons 10360 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft!

Constructed from over 2,400 pieces, 10360 measures over 60cm long and recreates both NASA’s remarkable modified Boeing 747, and the Space Shuttle Enterprise it carried. Although interestingly considering LEGO’s penchant for ever longer set titles, 10360 mentions neither by name.

Although definitely aimed as an adult display piece (see the black box and 18+ target age), 10360 still includes eighteen wheel deployable landing gear, a working shuttle mounting system, opening shuttle cargo-bay doors, and detachable engines, and you’ll be able to get your hands on LEGO’s latest Icons aircraft set when it lands in stores for around £200 / $230 later this year.
