It's Fine
on November 2, 2021
Posted by: New Englander
The reviews about the fragility of the build are somewhat true. However, the issues only really were a problem for me when I got to the end of the build, and even then it was only a minor annoyance. However, the attention to detail and the overall look of this is amazing, and it makes the build worth it for me.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Would recommend, but it has some issues
on November 2, 2021
Posted by: ACIA
The issues that I have found are; the bottom trunk doesn’t open easily and when it does the engine will sometimes fall apart. The front bumper is really quite flimsy, it will just fall off if you lightly touch it. There is a large crack in between the pop up tent area and the body of the van, like it isn’t able to close as much as it should to look seamless.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Disappointed
on October 26, 2021
Posted by: letgoOFmyLego
I was really excited when I got this set. I love the colors and the entire concept. I'm an outdoorsy person so I felt it would be an exciting addition to my collection. I've been many Lego sets and this one just did not live up to my expectations. Lego generally never disappoints but this build was finicky and fragile. Structure wise, I don't think it was a good build. The sliding door kept messing up, pieces such as the chairs would fall off easily and the rooftop did not work well either. Overall, it was hard to handle while building and I was more frustrated than relaxed while building this van. So sad but there's other builds out there that will be worth the time and energy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not terrible, but...
on October 24, 2021
Posted by: SithKitty
Not sure why others are having issues with this being "fragile" while building. It wasn't any more fragile than the hundreds of other builds I've done. The door to access the engine IS a little tough to open, and you've just got a single stud to grab onto when trying, which often comes off.
I did have to stop shortly after I began building, because in bag #3, I was supposed to get two 1x6 technic pieces, but one of the two wasn't technic. LEGO did send the missing piece, but it took close to two weeks to receive.
Lastly, I hate that there are so many white pieces. Even if left out of the sun, the white plastic they've been using recently yellow very badly after just a year or two just being exposed to air. My Star Wars Snowspeeder, and the Solo Millennium Falcon, look horrible, and I can only imagine this will look just as bad in a year or two.

Don’t waste your money
on October 21, 2021
Posted by: ArtVandalay
I’ve purchased so many builds and this is so disappointing. If you look at this thing the wrong way something will break and you will need to rebuild. I often set this aside for days at a time because it was so frustrating. I would not recommend this for how expensive it is.

Cool Wagon
on October 21, 2021
Posted by: LegoRunner29
I’ll start this review with this, I would recommend this set. That being said, this was a tough build not because of the instructions but because of the design specifically when it came to the roof and fabric. I think it’s better with the roof open compared to it being closed. I love my Wagon Camper, I love the little extra details like the inside with the mini kitchen, the side door opening, and the back window opening. It’s cool it comes with stickers so you can give your Wagon a little special customization.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I gave up!!
on October 21, 2021
Posted by: Bailey77
This is by far the worse Lego set out of the 100-150 I have ever built - Bag 9 is impossible as nothing fits correctly - The front end will not fit correctly after a dozen rebuilds - engine falls out - impossible to attach front bumper etc. etc.
Rather than being a relaxing stress reliever which is why I build Lego sets this one has frustrated me so much that I have put it aside and will probably never finish it - I feel that ego should provide a refund in VIP points for this build!
