  • We're so excited to reconnect with LEGO builder Jack Carleson at Bricks by the Bay to check out his massive 40,000+ brick Airbus A380 airliner. This minifigure-scale recreation of the world's largest passenger airliner is an engineering marvel: completely freestanding and equipped with motorized flaps as well as detailed LED lighting! Jack shares with us his build process and gives us a peek at this model's interior!
