The Lego Creator series is geared more toward teenagers or adult collectors and after the huge 
popularity of their brick build Volkswagen van they have now released their version of the iconic Volkswagen Beetle.
This is a 1,167 piece set so will keep your occupied for a fair few hours building it. Once assembled it will be a great show piece and if you do want to have a play around of it there is plenty of different features that you can open, close and inspect. You could even go one further and build a whole beach style diorama around it.
How Much?
This retails around hundred bucks.
Who would buy the Lego Creator Volkswagen Beetle?
Lego have rated it appropriate for ages 16+ but I know from personal experience that boys of a younger age [and probably girls] who have grown up building Lego sets will be most likely able to build this set. This one of course isn’t just for the kids; adults will also love building this classic VW with its surf vibe. Building these sets is also a fun activity for the whole family.
Things We Like About The Lego Creator Volkswagen Beetle?
The sheer attention to detail that has gone into this kit is what sold it for us. From the trunk of the car that opens up to reveal a miniature 4 cylinder air cooled engine, to the front and back seats that fully tilt. You can open the doors to see inside the car or remove the entire roof.
It comes with a lot of additional little touches like a detachable cooler and surf board that you can put on the roof. It also has different number plates and a little beach towel. The hood of the car opens to reveal a spare tire, remember the VW is back to front with the engine at the rear.
Things We Didn’t Like about it
This is a great value and beautiful looking set. I think the only addition that could have been made to it would be a surf dude mini-figure and a bikinied beauty to go with it.
Is the Lego Creator Volkswagen Beetle worth the money?
This is a big set and it has so much detail that it certainly worth the hundred buck’s price tag. Quiet often some of these Lego Sets become collectors’ items and rise in value so it might even become an investment. Make sure you keep the box and instructions.
Where can I buy it?
Lego is available from many local stores but not necessarily this particular product. They also have
their own online store or you can buy it from other trusted online retailers such as Amazon who also offer free shipping.
Final Thoughts
The designers at Lego should be proud of this release and any Lego collector will love this classic 60’s car. The VW beetle is an iconic vehicle and Lego have captured its appeal perfectly. Any teenager or adult who enjoys building kits or has an interest in classic cars will appreciate this as a gift.
