We are also so close to making our target for the non profit raffle --




After getting the most awesome birthday present - Lego creator set 10252 - Volkswagen Beetle ... a spectacular set --




1119 pieces over 3 bags numbers - crammed into this vehicle - Lego have definitely nailed it again - in my opinion it looks a lot better with much smoother edges over the previous model -- it also has a level of detail only found with our favorite toy bricks Manufacturer ---
They have done it again as with the mini  (20142) and the vw camper  (10220) - it will forever fascinate me out of such small pieces a structure or vehicle can be made -- and re made and re made 

This set is next level - and i mean next level - It sits so perfect on an led lit shelf with the mini and the vw camper ( i am a classic car fan)
 


I would say once you have sorted the pieces into organized piles - it isn't a long build 3 - 4 hours max
but you really get a beautiful looking vehicle - The surfboard,  the Ice box with the beer can in and wine bottle - put the edge on this and makes it a clear rival for the vw camper - which is my fave
I almost forgot the engine in the boot and the bonnet that opened with a hinge

This set is highly recommend if you are a classic car fan this is for you  -   there are so many amazing details 








As you would expect in true BrickaGram style we have a stop motion / speed build  video being released with this blog -- you will be able to see it being built from scratch  just check our Youtube channel

will you be buying this one ??

And now onto our final bit of news...

and it might be good if you missed it the first time around but second time around i do not think ill be purchasing this one --

a picture has leaked of the new death star -- 

in my personal opinion Lego has been lazy in their last ucs launch

the hoth battle set -- and for some unknown reason they have done it again

 with an almost identical design to the last death star and some different figured thrown in there

i was convinced it was going to be so much better than this --

lets just hope this is a hoax


 

BG WEEK IN PICS ;)
