LEGO Volkswagen T2 Campingbus

Product Information

Volkswagen T2 Camper Van succeeds the classic T1 design, exploiting modern elements and construction techniques which have been developed since 2011. The resultant model looks marvellous, benefiting particularly from the enhanced selection of curved slopes and integrating substantially more interesting functions. Box and Contents Right off the bat, you’re facing the fact that this costs almost twice as much as the now-retired Volkswagen T1 Camper Van. Immediately, that’s going to turn a lot of people off. In terms of piece count and size, though, the price of LEGO 10279 Volkswagen T2 Camper Van feels fair. It’s very much in line with what we’d expect from a modern Creator Expert set of its size. Moving on from the LEGO kits built for the little ones, our collection includes Disney Princess, Friends, LEGO City, Architecture and the ever-popular Ninjago. These styles will get the creativity flowing amongst younger builders whilst allowing them to get their hands on some famous characters from the construction universe.

This set is part of a collection of LEGO building sets for adults who appreciate clever design and attention-to-detail. It offers an immersive build and will make a top gift for any VW van fan. Saying that, on its own with the roof down, it’s not exactly the most attractive LEGO vehicle ever – but pop the roof, open the side door, lean the surfboard against the van and unfold the camping chairs and the whole thing immediately conjures up images of road trips and surfing holidays. Since this isn’t a minifigure-scale set, I’m sad to report that no minifigures are included. The build Both the rear end and front end of the vehicle gave me exceptional difficulty. I ended up building sections of them more than once, believing I must have made a mistake. No mistakes were made – they simply don’t hold together very well. The problem is, particularly with the front of the vehicle, that chunks are often built independently, then attached to the whole model. Putting pressure on the build to ensure these are securely in place means that other parts start to break. Nothing ever feels truly secure; constantly having to fix a previous section while you’re trying to build a new section doesn’t make for a fun experience. The driver and passenger seats. You can see the studs along the bottom where the front of the van will fix. In the gaming world, fans can get hands-on with Super Mario for the first-ever following the introduction of the Nintendo legend to party.Overall, I have to be harsh: If you want to build a good-looking van and don't mind a struggle, this is a good set. If you want an accurate model of the T2: nope. There is potential for a great set, but there are too many bumps in the road. One of the most extensive ranges however comes in the form of LEGO Star Wars which is equipped with all of the iconic characters from Episode I right through to Rise of Skywalker. Providing the perfect gift for all kinds of Sith Lords and Jedi Knights. And if that wasn’t enough, our selection of LEGO Marvel heroes captures the spirit and iconic scenes from the Avengers and many more classics.

Measures over 6 in. (15 cm) high, 13.5 in. (35 cm) long and 5.5 in. (14 cm) wide, making an eye-catching display model. With LEGO pieces, safety and quality come first. That’s why they’re rigorously tested so you can be sure that the model is as robust as it is beautiful.Wedge 2 x 1 x 2/3 with Stud Notch Right in Medium Azure (6296901 | 29119), introduced ín 2020, in three other sets If you manage to get through the entire build though, you’re left with a stunning vehicle – albeit one you’re probably going to be scared to touch, for fear it might just crumble in your hands. Suffice to say, it’s much more eye-catching than the T1 Camper Van, in my opinion anyway, and the additional detail in the interior really adds a wow factor. Play or display? Discover a host of features and accessories in the Volkswagen van model, including the textile curtains, textile pop-up tent, surfboard and 2 folding chairs.

Despite its bulky appearance it’s also a very delicate, and sometimes highly frustrating, model to build and move around. The features don’t feel particularly sturdy and can be quite a pain to open and close, and the fact bits regularly fall off just becomes annoying after a while. That being said, the build experience for all three of those sets was way higher than what is on offer here. If you value the part count and final design over the enjoyment garnered from actually building the thing, then this should be classed as a bit of a bargain.However, the fragile nature of the build takes away from the sense that this is a premium product. — Pictures — I don't understand the location of the front indicators. Completely different compared to the designer's own car. When searching for presents LEGO gifts are always a popular shout. The range of toys and kits come in all kinds of different themes making them ideal for collectors and big kids, providing a great gift for him. The front indicators and small rear lights indicate that this model represents the pre-1972 T2a ("Early Bay") model. Echoing what others have said, I think that the look of the T2b with the high mounted indicators is more recognizable.

While both door mechanisms are inconspicuous, the interior remains apparently unfinished in other areas. For instance, numerous colourful elements are present beside the steering wheel, even though covering these pieces would have been simple. Their exposure is therefore rather disappointing, especially since lavish detail appears elsewhere inside the Camper Van. Whether you’re reliving past adventures, planning future travels or simply want to celebrate your passion for camper vans, you’ll love this LEGO Volkswagen T2 Camper Van (10279) model building project. Take your time building the camper van model then explore its detailed interior before placing it on display to remind you that there’s a world of adventure just around the corner.
