"The Shuttle Carrier Aircraft earns its Highly Recommended rating with an outstanding build experience and a faithful dual-model concept, backed by a 4.55-star owner average. The sticker count at this price tier is a real complaint, but it doesn't undercut what is otherwise one of the stronger aviation builds in the Icons lineup."
Reviewers and owners align closely on the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, producing a high-agreement, Highly Recommended verdict reflected in its BrickScore of 82. The set delivers an exceptional build experience (the highest-rated aspect at 82.8) through its dual-model concept, working landing gear, and engineering complexity, while 4.55-star owner ratings across 546 buyers confirm broad satisfaction. The one honest caveat is value: owners rate it 4.1 out of 5 for value for money and the 85% recommend rate, while strong, trails the build praise slightly.

The Shuttle Carrier Aircraft is praised as a fascinating, innovative build with impressive landing gear mechanics and strong display appeal, though several owners flag fragility issues, a blocky 747 nose, and underwhelming engines.
