Ok, it's not RC, but how cool is this?...

Post by Diggley »

My son has always been a huge LEGO fan, and on a recent trip to the Disney area convinced me to by my 1st model after browsing around one of the largest LEGO stores I've ever seen.

Since I'm a classic (air-cooled) VW nut, the decision wasn't all that hard to make... :D

That's just brilliant! I didn't know Lego made such things! 8)
Do, or do not! There is no 'try'!
RC; Boats, Buggies, Trucks, Bash's, Racing and of course 'VINTAGE'!

Same here 8)

.... there was a thread on a UK based VW forum where people were customising them - lowering etc :D .... I wonder how much it would cost to replace all the red parts for those of a different colour??

Lego do an amazing range of more advanced kits like these, aimed I guess at the 'older' builder/collector.

I've downloaded the Lego CAD program where you can build/design your virtual model, i've yet to try it out yet. Lego were offering the option to turn your virtual model built on this program into a real Kit including box & artwork! But I think this service has now been discontinued.

if you think that's something. you should see the bugatti veyron that they put together. internals of the 7speed tranny is ridiculous. and it's operational.

The issue I have with those is, is it even really Lego anymore, with all the custom pieces they use?
