LEGO City Airport

Building an airport is harder than it looks. Just ask the bozos behind Terminal 5. Failing that, have a go yourself and get the whole family involved with the brilliant LEGO City Airport.

This award-winning playset lets you construct your very own terminal, complete with minifigure passenger, revolving doors, ticket desk, X-ray machine, café, lounge and control tower. There’s even a baggage cart and driver to whizz your luggage to the LEGO passenger jet. Of course no journey would be complete without flight crew (unless they’re on strike) so the good people at LEGO have also included a pilot, steward and flight attendant. ‘Cabin doors to manual!’

With 703 pieces this luxe set is the perfect plaything for kids obsessed with travel. You can even pretend it’s a real airport by ripping off passengers at every opportunity and delaying departure for umpteen hours. What fun! But hurry, this incredibly immersive playset is due to depart from our stock room on the double. Thank you for flying with LEGO.
