I don’t see this happening. Others mentioned IP issues already, but the sell quality is just low: For playing it does not work, as it is not minifig scale and is only the cockpit so what is there to play. For visuals I am missing the plane and I don’t find the build to be directly recognisable as a very famous plane either. (I am no plane expert, just an adult lego builder). The outside on its own is a bit odd in my opinion and it is the first thing you see. I think it works better as an instruction guide / rebrickable for plane enthusiasts than an IDEA set.

This would be for adult and I don’t think they would actually play with the completed kit? A lot of adults are into aviation and they are probably the target audience. Personally growing up with lego sets in 80s I prefer kits that do not have too many specialized blocks and parts because it kills composability, so even though I love planes and Lego, I don't think I'd buy this.

I would also wonder how much this has a "Snakes on a Plane" surface appeal, lots of attention ... almost nobody buying.

The 747 is one of the most famous planes. It’s the jumbo jet

As an adult Lego enthusiast, I disagree. I'm probably not the target for this one, but I can see others wanting it. None of my sets are for playing with after built. Like my Saturn V rocket. Try and play with that, and you'll have a pile of bricks very soon. It's for building & looking at, once completed. I'm the sort that loves the model aspect of Lego, especially with a lot of the newer (past 15-20 years) large sets. I have some of the larger Star Wars sets (Death Star, Star Destroyer, Millenium Falcon, etc). None of these can you play with as a kid would. You can't pick up the Star Destroyer or Millenium Falcon and run around a room making pew pew sounds.
