We recently covered the huge research vessel, this time it’s time to describe the second huge 2020 City series vehicle. We have a really big airliner here today and some extras.
The plane is most likely the private plane of the music star Poppy Star, as evidenced by the small number of seats – a real VIP room and luggage space, which perfectly accommodates the star’s convertible car. We will build the set from 669 bricks, many of which are really large and thanks to this we will get a 54 cm (21″) long and 44 cm (17″) wide plane. In a child’s scale, it is simply enormous. It assembles very easily and relatively quickly. The plane has an opening luggage hatch and an opening door – both of these elements are unfortunately not very stable and often need to be repaired. The passenger space is quite symbolic – a few seats, a toilet, a screen showing the current position of the plane and a drink cart. On the other hand, the pilot’s cabin looks nice, in which there are two minifigures (this is how big this plane is). The star convertible car fits perfectly into the luggage compartment and nothing else. It can be inserted there using a special vehicle with a car lift. The escalator is also a small detail.
We like the building of the passenger terminal very much – it has the atmosphere of a private airport on a tropical island (although we took photos in the snow…). It is constructed of a small number of bricks, but it really looks nice and clean. We have a tiny departure terminal with a board of current departing connections, a booth with drinks, a computer for check-in and a baggage drop-off desk. There is also an air traffic control tower with a radar.
Minifigures: Poppy Star is the most important. An agent travels with her – her expression indicates this profession, a friend in a Hawaiian shirt and a very interesting father minifigure with a sling and a baby with a bottle (the baby is so cute). As for minifigures at work, we have a pilot, a flight attendant (or a terminal worker), a man who work at the ground – helping to park the plane or operating the tug, and a controller on the tower.
We liked the set and it is often taken to play by our Lego tester. We highly recommend it.
