I had some concerns earlier this year about the Lego City passenger plane being
a little too simplified with the one-piece nose section and one-piece wings, so
I'm really glad to see TLC release a plane made from real bricks.
I do wonder, however, with all the new slope bricks that have been released in
the past few years if it would have been possible to make the plane
(particularly the nose) a little more smooth looking.
Still, I'll plan on saving up for this one.
TLC, thanks for keeping it about "building."
-Steven
