This set is solid
on April 2, 2022
Posted by: legonickname
This is the first time I have written a review and I am doing so because of all of the reviews saying the set is flimsy. I'm not trying to put anyone down but for me this is one of the best designed sets I have ever built and I just finished the UCS Millennium Falcon. I have also built the BMW m1000 RR, the Liebherr 4 9800, and the Star Wars Sandcrawler (75059). In my opinion this set seems to just fall in place, I have had zero issues so far (halfway through bag 9). All of the doors open and close without issue and I have not had to rebuild anything. A lot of people say the roof is troublesome and maybe I'll change my mind on bags 10 and 11 but so far I find this set amazingly designed. I really don't understand why people are having build issues or can't seem to keep their doors together. I have had the exact opposite experience.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Kit!

I don’t know what all these 1, 2 & 3 star reviews are all about… it is an expert kit, it’s not for beginners. Another we’ll done model by one of Lego’s master builders!

Another Van???
on March 28, 2022
Posted by: SmokeyG
Disappointed that Lego wasted a design on another vw van when they’ve already done a van and the red one is far superior to this build. Makes zero sense.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Quit your griping!

I have to shake my head at those self-proclaimed "expert builders" who complain so loudly about this model. Is it fragile in places? Certainly, but consider the amazing attention to detail and the various solutions to tricky engineering problems, which in some cases are truly ingenious. Does this mean that bits can come off when operating some of the moving parts? Yes, but this is an 18+ model and clearly meant for display and general admiration, rather than hours of rugged play. Are you truly an expert builder and something breaks? Put it back, it's the gift that keeps on giving! Do you not like parts of the design? Fix it, that's what I did. My version is proudly shown in its custom Olegabox, which is quite reflective, I apologize. I included some close-ups of the rear door and roof. I did find that the hinges of the rear door were held by only a single stud on 1x6 plates, so I replaced these with 1x8 plates. This means I had to reconfigure some of the outside tiling, making it slightly more angular. I also added a roof rack for the surfboard. I have seen many clever MOCs for this, but I tried for one that seemed more genuine to me and better fits the model scale. The board can still slide around somewhat, but it won't come sailing off the roof, which it won't anyway as long as my T2 sits there quietly and majestically in its box. I am mainly a Technics fan and this was my first venture into Creator, but I found it the most enjoyable and interesting build I have done so far. I did it together with my 8 year old daughter (also a Lego cognoscente), taking about 2 weeks at 1 stage per day. As Lego sets go, can't beat the experience at this price. But perhaps that will be surpassed by the UCS AT-AT, which I just acquired...

What a fantastic build
on March 24, 2022
Posted by: Kris
Let me just say wow don't read the reviews from this product they will steer you wrong , the people complaining about how tough it was to build and not staying together just don't know how to build Legos . This product was engineered fantasticly , as a lover of the first gen vw bus this was just as fun and such a better quality build. Would totally recommend this to any avid Lego adult.

Not worth the money

Posted by: ClownishEngineer022
This set is one of the worst I have ever tried to put together. You put one section together and try to put it on the rest and some other section falls apart. Not worth the money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Kid loved it
on March 13, 2022
Posted by: StrictestThrilledLadder
My son loved building this. He did have to stop before it was finished though. We were missing the last bag of the build. Called customer service and they were super helpful and replacement parts are on the way. Excited to see it all finished
I would recommend this to a friend!
