Trash Mobile
on January 5, 2022
Posted by: Ralph
I collect lego, and It is a part of my everyday life. After building every creator car to date, this camper stood out. It was trash. The set Crumbled apart and was so poorly designed, and quite frankly disappointing. The facts in the instructions were more fun than the building process. After building this, and a few other newer sets like the UCS AT-AT, I am quickly losing my faith in LEGO as a 20+ year consumer. I started disassembling it before I was done, so I quickly get rid of it
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Handle with Care
on January 3, 2022

The set is nice but parts (the pop-up tent frame) seem to be over engineered while the basic part of the van seems to be poorly thought out. The front bumper is extremely fragile and will come off with the slightest touch. The front and back are also more fragile than needed and if I was actually "playing" with the set and not just displaying it with my other creator vehicles I would be very frustrated

First Lego build
on January 3, 2022
Posted by: Bustincatz
I wanted the ghostbusters echo-1 to be my first build. I came across the Volkswagen and something about it carried the same feel. I was still disappointed that I couldn’t get what I wanted, but as I started building my set and saw my creation come alive, it was priceless.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great set! No issues that weren't builder error!

This set was so much fun to build. It was very challenging, which I enjoyed very much. You need to be very meticulous with this set. I did not have any of the issues others are describing - the front end is not flimsy and my roof sits flush. The only time i ran into issues were results of my own building mistakes. I would definitely recommend - overall a great build!

Flimsy build for a Creator set
on December 31, 2021
Posted by: ExcellentSnail025
Fit and finish is not up to Lego standards. Even after the build I hesitate to open or close any doors or the roof. I have had pieces come off and spent time just trying to get them to stay on. What good are moving parts if they can’t be moved or opened without fear of the build falling apart. This includes the back hatch, the sliding door and even a non-moving part: the front bumper. Not worth the cost or the time. Select a different model.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Period correctness
on December 30, 2021
Posted by: ArgMcBarg
Fun product, great details. My only complaint is the advertising indicates it is a 60s style VW camper. Up until about 1974 the camper top hinged from the front and opened the opposite way as this model so I think it should be advertised as 70s camper van.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great

Have seen other reviews talking about design flaw that almost swayed me from purchasing. But no design flaws. Just inexperienced builders blaming the design instead of them figuring out what they messed up. Top/doors/ etc work perfect for me.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The red bus is much better
on December 29, 2021
Posted by: Mrs.PerplexedDrillex
Between this one and the older red split window the latter is definitely more satisfying to build and makes for a better display. This is gets pretty fiddly as you build so if you’re not careful certain pieces can fall apart while you trying to build so it can be frustrating feeling like you need a third hand. The most disappointing is the canvas on the pop top doesn’t meet the top with a huge gap. It looks incomplete or built wrong so I eventually just took it off display. I’ve never done that before! There are some cool Easter eggs for the builder that no one else will ever see so that’s a nice feature but all in all, I only recommend this to diehard VW fans. And btw the this is larger than the red one also making it an odd display
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
