LEGO Unveils Iconic Space Shuttle Enterprise and Boeing 747 Combo in New LEGO Icons Set

Get ready for liftoff! LEGO has just announced the release of the LEGO Icons 10360 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, a stunning 2,417-piece set that recreates the legendary Space Shuttle Enterprise piggybacking on a Boeing 747. This set is a must-have for space enthusiasts and LEGO aficionados alike, offering a detailed and historically accurate representation of this iconic aerospace duo.

The new set pays homage to the Space Shuttle Enterprise, which debuted in 1976 and was famously used by NASA for atmospheric test flights launched from atop the specially modified Boeing 747. The LEGO replica mirrors the original, lacking engines and a heat shield, making it incapable of spaceflight – a true-to-life detail that adds to its charm.

Measuring over 27cm high, 63cm long and 53cm wide, the Boeing 747 in the set features an elegant fuselage design, deployable 18-wheel landing gear, and a specialized shuttle mounting system. The Space Shuttle Enterprise boasts an attachable tail cone and engines, plus stowable landing gear tucked inside its cargo bay. The set also includes a sturdy display stand with information plaques, adding a touch of historical context to your display.

This isn't the first time LEGO has ventured into the realm of space exploration. The 2,354-piece Discovery set, released in 2021, remains a popular choice among space fans. However, the new Shuttle Carrier Aircraft set offers a unique perspective by showcasing the transportation aspect of the space program.

According to LEGO's announcement, "This is a must-have for aerospace enthusiasts and LEGO fans alike! Savor every moment, as you bring this iconic tribute to innovation and exploration to life, piece by piece."

Set to launch for LEGO Insiders on May 15, 2025, and available to everyone else from May 18, the LEGO Icons 10360 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft is priced at £199.99 / $229.99 / €229.99. It promises to be a rewarding building experience and a stunning display piece, perfectly complementing other space-themed LEGO sets like the 10341 NASA Artemis Space Launch System and 10318 Concorde.
