Cool design
on December 3, 2022
Posted by: Tatertot
I liked the look of this model; it has some cool features, and I grew up loving Volkswagen vehicles. But during and even after the build, some pieces do not stay on properly, if you just handle it slightly, a few pieces outside and inside fall off because there isn't a lot holding them in place. Would have been a 5 star review if not for the inability to handle the item at all without something falling off.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We're sorry you're having trouble keeping your VW together. If you'd like a hand troubleshooting the build or if you find that any pieces aren't holding together as they should rolling down the brick road, feel free to give us a shout at LEGO.build/Service-BV so we can help!

Worse Lego Kit I’ve Ever Built
on October 14, 2022
Posted by: Rip Cat
I’m a pretty fair builder, but this kit kicked me good. Sections, including the tailgate and roof closing mechanisms, would detach from other parts constantly. Not particularly well designed for pieces to interlock. Ended up using Superglue to hold together
If value is judged by how long it takes to build, this kit is great value.
So if you like a great challenge go for it. If your purpose for Legos is relaxation and enjoyment, get a different kit.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Most Frustrating Build Ever
on September 2, 2022
Posted by: MJRossi10
I have built hundreds of Lego sets and am a collector and displayer. I can say, with absolute certainty, this is by far the most frustrating Lego set I have ever built. The way to pieces connect at really structurally important areas is so flimsy I think the thing falls apart just looking at it. At one point, trying to get the front to stay on, I had to just leave it and build other sets for awhile. I came back to it and now the motor in the back has fallen out, the roof doesn't close, and the back door near the license plate is loose. It is horrible! This set should never have been produced in this way. I think the quality control at Lego really missed the mark on this one.

Worst lego set ever
on August 22, 2022
Posted by: ProfessorHibernat
Very disappointing experience. Definitely the worst lego set I have every build. The set fall apart so my times. I considered myself an experience builder, having built lego sets for 15+ years including a lot of 18+ sets from the past two years. Beyond disappointed!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Missing a few pieces
on August 15, 2022
Posted by: BlueOcto
Overall I loved the T2 camper! I loved all the moveable parts also. I thought I was pretty cool that you can open the door and other parts. But what I didn't like is the top part of the camper wouldn't fully shut and few pieces were missing from 2 of the packets. So I just had to find pieces that was similar and i'm glad I figured it out. Overall it is a very cool lego kit. Multiple people liked it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bumper problem
on July 21, 2022
Posted by: doodle
I see many, many reviews regarding the poor support for certain sections, the bumpers being the biggest problem. The sheer weight of the van makes turning it over back and forth for construction a problem. It looks great on display, not for play. That said it is beautiful and a sweet memory for those of us who had the real thing
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Better than expected
on July 16, 2022
Posted by: Steve
Negative reviews made me hesitant to purchase this set. I own most of the creator vehicles, so it only seemed right to add this to the collection. My main concern was regarding the gap along the top cover. Mine looks great without any significant bowing like others have complained about. I would suggest building on a nice flat surface and slightly manipulate any bend that occurs as you build. Overall, I’m very glad that I decided to get this set. No regrets or disappointment here!
