Billund Airport

In 2014 an Architecture-style model 4000016 Billund Airport was produced and sold exclusively in the shop there, after passport control. Despite allegedly being limited to 10,000 copies it remained available for many years, perhaps due in part to its disproportionate price compared to regular sets.

Now, a new version has been seen in the shop, 40199 Billund Airport. At first glance it looks identical but if you look closely, the left hand side of the building has been redesigned, to reflect recent changes of the actual terminal building.

Just in time for those visiting over the summer, myself included...

Thanks to Brizza_is_back for the image and DeMontes for her eagle eyes spotting the difference.


Spot the differences...

  • New flowers
  • New left hand side of the building
  • Anything else?

899dkk on the Airport website seems a bit steep though!

They cost DKK 399 each if you buy 1, 2 or 3 pcs.
If you buy more than 3 pcs (and thus most likely are a scalper) they cost DKK 899 each.
Nice pricing system (although I did not understand it at all when I purchased the previous version right after coming out of my dark ages). I like.

I'm going to London and Ireland this summer, too bad there's no flight that would connect through Billund! What a fun set.

The foliages of the "green flowers" seems to be of a different size as well.
