I used to live for building cars out of my LEGO blocks, and I clearly recall the teachers having to gather up all the wheels at pre-K to stop the 4-year-old brawls from happening because that jerk James tried to bogart all the wheels. Now that I’m a grown up, I’m excited to see this cool new LEGO set based on a classic 1960’s Volkswagen Beetle. This particular Bug is ready for the beach with a roof rack, surfboard, and cooler on top. The kit has over 1100 pieces to it, and the finished car model has a tilting rear seat, opening hood and trunk, and an air-cooled four cylinder in back. When assembled, the car measures over 11-inches high, 10-inches long, and 4-inches wide with the surfboard and cooler. There are stickers to make four different license plates included. The kit will sell for $99.99(USD) and it looks awesome. You should definitely buy one when it comes out this August – the last LEGO Beetle model is now a very expensive collector’s item. Als Sint zelf mocht kiezen, werd het de Volkswagen T1 kampeerbus van LEGO
Leusden, 15 november 2016 - Als Sint zelf mocht kiezen, werd het de Volkswagen T1 kampeerbus van LEGO. Legendarische Volkswagen T1 kampeerbus uit 1962 in 1.331 LEGO-steentjes LEGO-‘Bulli’, en nog veel meer leuke Sint-cadeaus te koop via Volkswagen Webshop LEGO is geweldig speelgoed voor groot en klein. Dat blijkt maar weer eens met de iconische Volkswagen T1 kampeerbus uit 1962 die LEGO steentje voor steentje heeft nagebouwd. De kampeerbus is te koop via de Volkswagen Webshop en staat tijdens en na de feestdagen garant voor optimaal bouwplezier. De Transporter Type 1 – ook wel Bulli genoemd – is de iconische bestelwagen met Nederlandse roots die Volkswagen tussen 1950 en 1967 heeft gebouwd. Maar liefst 1,8 miljoen exemplaren liepen in Wolfsburg en Hannover van de band. Op basis van het busje werd vervolgens één van de allereerste campers ter wereld gebouwd en liefhebbers van de ‘Bulli’ kunnen dat nu zelf nog eens overdoen. Een replica van die kampeerbus uit 1962 wordt nu door LEGO uitgebracht.
Het is een historisch eerbetoon aan een iconische bestseller van Volkswagen en bestaat uit maar liefst 1.331 onderdeeltjes. De rood-witte spijlbus is volledig toegerust, inclusief keukentje, uitklapbare achterbank, inklapbaar eettafeltje, kast met spiegel en zelfs een schilderijtje. Mooie details zijn ook de uitklapbare ‘split window’ Safari-voorruitjes, portieren die zijn te openen, het klassieke vouwdak met een afdichting van textiel en de luchtroosters aan de achterzijde. Ook de luchtgekoelde viercilinder boxermotor en het authentieke dashboard met de enkele ronde snelheidsmeter zijn zelf in elkaar te zetten. De Volkswagen T1 Camper uit 1962 van LEGO is het ultieme cadeau voor Sinterklazen en Kerstmannen en -vrouwen. Het model is via de webshop van Volkswagen verkrijgbaar en kost 99 euro. In de Volkswagen Webshop zijn overigens veel meer leuke cadeaus voor de komende feestdagen te vinden.

There’s currently quite a few official Lego products based on real-life cars available to buy, including detailed recreations of the classic MINI Cooper, Ferrari F40, Volkswagen T1 Camper Van. Thanks also to LEGO Ideas website, it’s also become possible to buy a LEGO version of the Caterham Seven and even the Ecto 1 from the original Ghostbusters film. The Lego Ideas website, which allows users to share concepts which can be turned into official products if they gain enough support, currently has loads of other car-related ideas, many of which we’d be more than happy to own. Here’s our look at six of the best car ideas currently on Lego Ideas which have already gained a decent amount of support and could turn up in markets in the not-too-distant future. The original Volkswagen Golf GTI is one of those cars which gets plenty of praise even though it’s been many decades since it was first made. First introduced in 1976, the Mark 1 Golf GTI was considered a great car to drive the moment it arrived and still holds up well in that regard.
Significantly, the original Golf GTI is also widely considered to be the spiritual father of all hot hatches. While it wasn’t the first ever hot hatch, it was the first hot hatch to become truly popular. All the great hot hatches which have come since owe some credit to the GTI to some degree. Having already turned the original VW Beetle into an official LEGO product, it seems fitting that another very important car in the company’s history should get the same treatment. The Land Rover Defender is one of those cars that feels so important and iconic that it will never ever be forgotten. But after an incredibly long time on the production line, Land Rover stopped making the Defender towards the end of January 2016. We wait to see what Land Rover comes up with to succeed the original Defender, but those fans who want to keep its spirit alive could possibly do that in the future (sort of) via a LEGO creation. This proposed LEGO model of the Land Rover is undoubtedly a large one which is estimated to include 1,100 bricks.
There’s a new Ford GT supercar coming next year and while many will be excited, few will get the chance to own one. Just 250 examples of the GT will be built annually over the next four years, and orders for the first two years of supply have already been sorted. With only around 20 units per year estimated to be coming to the UK, this GT will be a rare sight. But while even a lot of people who could actually afford the GT will miss out, perhaps a LEGO version of the supercar could provide some consolation. We would certainly be pleased if we could get a LEGO Ford GT in the same cool blue paint job the bricks come in as showed on the product concept’s pictures. Lamborghini is of course one of those brands that makes cars that many people desire but few could buy. Therefore, an accurate LEGO replica of one of the more recent Lambos, like this concept based on the standard Aventador would be a much cheaper but still appealing option. Okay, so the engine is a lot smaller than the V12 found in the real thing, but a vibrant paint job like the one shown in the concept images makes it feel most of the way there towards feeling authentic.
LEGO Porsches have been launched as official products before, there’s the small replica of the 918 Spyder from the Speed Champions range, for instance. Then there’s the much larger 911 GT3 RS Technic model which doesn’t come with traditional LEGO bricks. But this 911 GT3 RS 4.0 model, which uses more traditional LEGO bricks, is also very detailed and a fest to the eyes. Because it’s based on the very rare and track-focused RS 4.0, there’s various race car-esque details found like bucket seats and even a roll cage. The Jaguar E-Type in real life is one of the most widely loved and beautiful cars ever made, so it feels long overdue for a detailed LEGO replica for this icon to arrive. This concept seen here is based on the soft-top roadster version of the Series 2 E-Type. While initial pictures showed the LEGO E-Type in a dark red finish, the creator of this kit looks to be now opting for a more patriotic British Racing Green finish.
