good tiago I live in sri lanka
Personally I love it when there's a complex technic system seamlessly integrated into a build. I find engineering fascinating and really enjoy seeing the seemingly random blob of technic pieces slowly reveal it's true purpose during the build. I also just don't like how Technic sets look so I'm always happy with how well LEGO hide the mechanisms in these kinds of sets.
It depends on the set! For the typewriter I didn't actually mind it as I was mentally prepared for a heavy Technical mechanism inside. For this one not so much, and I've seen previous Expert Cars doing steering without this heavy amount of Technic.
Yep same. Technic was always my favorite.
I was 12 when the first Technics sets came out. They were a dream for me and have always had a special place. I love seeing them used in a set like this -- but I respect that it isn't for everyone.
@@MichaelSteeves I feel the way you guys Do. I love seeing em blended in regular sets more and more. The technic Ferrari f1 is one of my faves
it looks like Im not alone in thinking the retired set actually looks better. Way better action elements on this one though, looks like a great build
Agree. The mechanics are much better but the overall shape is a lot worse.
If they made the T1 in the new size it would look better, but the new one in the bigger size looks better
@@lordbogus6709 It looks better for a Lego model as it less blocky, but compared to the real thing it's less accurate
@@markbouma2099 It'l never be fully accurate. They could have done a few things better, such as the front screen a bot more round and the top white bit of the roof a bit lower, the real thing has the roof going in a curve immediatly when the white begins, and its kinda steep. Hard to explain but maybe you know what i mean if you see pictures. Also there sould have been indicators.
In the end it is just lego but its getting close. Maybe in a few years a new release? maybe then they will do the T1 again with new techniques
The first one is based off the T1 camper van, which looks better in real life than the T2 camper van, so no surprise there!
The fact it's not to scale with the T1 really really bugs me from a display perspective.
This genuinely seems like the perfect build for me.
It's my dream car in the colour I would have it in. The details inside the car and easy accessibility to see them is incredible. The functioning sliding doors and turnable wheels are so cool. The different build styles with original Lego and technic combined in one is something I personally really enjoy. The size seems just right to fit on my shelf, not too small to the point where there's no detail and not too big to the point where it looks too out of place.
I definitely think I'm going to buy this when I get the chance.
That's really cool. Nice to see you got your hands on this early. Thanks for the awesome review!
Having owned a T2 the engine does actually come out just about that easily
T1 just looks more authentic than this one. The front part and the rectangular angles are so wrong here!
Yeah, I think Lego lazied and just threw a ready to use glass part instead of an authentic windshield and didn't bother to round corners...
The interior is amazing though.
@@BrickTemplar Ya, the interior and functionality are great)
The sets are based off different car models. Look up Volkswagen T2 camper van, its looks nearly identical.
@@thetimelapseguy8 well, it is not. The proportions and forms are totally wrong.
@@adrianprepelita8683 my dad has one of these irl and it is pretty similar
The LEGO Volkswagen T2 Camper Van goes on sale on 1st August 2021 from LEGO stores and on LEGO.com at RRP 159.99 EUR / 179.99 USD / 149.99 GBP.

first
I think that was a waste opportunity to make that set
Its so much awesoome all
Yeah Domingo that set is awesome but it focus to the grown ups
I usually don’t have an interest in these kind of sets, but this one REALLY grabs my attention with all the cool designs and mechanisms!
@ 3:44 wow cool - first time I feel stickers make sense! Really love these hippie vibes on this model in particular ☮️❤️
the sliding door is by far my favorite feature its so smooth and ingenius
😂 them chairs .. 👍
I think I prefer the old one.
I ended up using a small strip of doublesided tape to hold the curtains in place.
I wish they used clear stickers instead, they really stand out like a sore thumb in it's current state.
Great review, building the set now! I am having some frustration with opening the rear door to access the engine though, it's a little tough to open and close!
Another excellent review. Love your knowledge on parts, build techniques, etc.
I look forward to more reviews from you. Best.
I have never wanted a random Lego set more. This Lego set is beautiful, and just… amazing. I am quite literally at a loss for words just attempting to describe my love for this set.
I never heard of this! Thanks for showing me the next set I want!
No problem!! It just got announced
Oh, oh oh! A must have! The T1 was my first set. Thank you for reviewing, can’t wait to get one. Cheers 🍻
I've never seen a review this good done in 6 minutes/ great review
0:50 That new door technique looks lovely!
Personally, I'm a fan of technique builds. I've only recently gotten back into Lego, since I now have space to display finished sets. While working on the NES, I loved the moments when mechanical parts just clicked together, like getting the pop up tray to work, or the tv screen to spin. Even little things like getting knobs to make clicking noises are nice.
Currently, I need space to display more sets, along with the budget to justify it, but this looks like something I'd enjoy building.
Great video! I might’ve overlooked it, but I’d be very interested in a video that goes into your complex relationship with Technic. From my end, the merging of the two makes this even more compelling! :)
As a part of a VW family I feel obligated to save and pick this one up, I love the look and design and i think it will go great in my collection of creator expert cars (of wich I have none)
Those new 1x1 plates with handles got my mind racing, can't wait to see what people do with them
I love the outro where the van drives away
I have the old one, i wanted it more than ever when it came out. I have to get this one now, Awesome Set and video :)
Just finished mine. It looks so awesome on my model shelves. I got this as my Christmas gift and finally decided to start it. It took me a couple days to put it together. Mildly challenging but fun to build. 8.5/10 definitely love it.
I haven't liked a lot of lego reviews ever, yours are always not only really helpful but also interesting, I really enjoy every video:)
T1 is better! And I don’t like how T2 is $100 more expensive. Outrages!
It only costs $60 more, and it has 900 extra pieces
A very helpful review, well filmed. Thank you.
I haven’t even seen PICTURES of this yet! You are very lucky to get sets so early!
Those new pieces are incredible. I want many of them.
Oh my goodness! I absolutely love the old VW camper van models and was hoping that Lego would make a new version of the 2011 set! I am definitely interested in buying this! Great video, by the way!
Thank you :)
I love it, especially the nice blue/orange contrast with the white. Very nice. One question I do have, though, is, on a scale from 1 to 10, how hard of a build was it?
The price is about right in UK at 7p per brick. the new door functions to hide hinges are great. There should be less stickers. the windscreen looks like that from Ecto-1 10274
Watching your video sparked an old childhood memory of me watching the designer video for the old Camper Van presented by the LEGO designer John-Henry. I know you're not the designer of the new Camper Van, but the feeling is almost similar since you were a LEGO designer, and now making a review of the Camper Van. Wow, I still can't believe it's been a decade.
As for the new model, it looks and functions great, and I love the techniques used.
Wow! Right in the feels!! ❤️
I have this exact model displayed on top of my subwoofer and looks amazing every time I look it, its still my favorite vehicle build.....
Phenomenal review. I’m sold!
I have that original Volkswagen Van! My cousin-in-law had a friend who worked at Lego who had one with a broken box that they couldn’t sell, so they gave it to me for free. Loved that set. This updated set looks smooth!
Cool! A new chance to get a Bulli!
The design is really good, nice color too!
From Paju (almost 6 years old) who wanted to Like and leave a message after watching your video: “This was so awesome a video, now the fairies from Easter gave us a present because I was so brave in the doctor’s, that’s why they give me this giant hippy bus” (he had to have a spinal puncture today; results are thankfully clear and he’s full of energy and even more excited to start the build after your video😍)
I'm currently rebuilding my T1 camper! Unfortunately a few years ago it fell into 'The Bin'. I love the set and I have found almost every piece for it so far. I can't wait to get it all rebuilt.
Quite frankly: if it wasn’t printed on the box I would not really have recognized this as VW Campervan (or "Bully" as it's called here in Germany). I think the designers dropped the ball on this one. They didn't manage to capture the most pronounced design features and this looks to me more like a generic van than anything else.
Also, there seem to be some issues with stability (I saw another review today where the reviewer struggled to open the rear hatch without pieces falling off). Add the issues with the stickers whose color don't match the bricks, and this doesn't seem to be up to the usual standard of the Creator Expert cars.
The color choice looks kind of plain to me, so I think this really needs those extra stickers to pop. The T1 was the more iconic version of the real car, and so was the T1 LEGO model.
Agree 100%
It’s a bay window bus not the split window Bulli you recognize.
@@SkaterStimm I wasn't talking about the window. I know that the T2 doesn't have the split window.
But the whole shaping of the front and especially the roof looks off to me. When I look at a picture of the real T2 and the LEGO model side by side, I can't really tell that this is supposed to be the same car. If you look at how they nailed the Mustang and the Porsche, this one really can't compare.
@@OliverCGoetz It has a fiber glass pop top on it, you must be thinking of a normal bus without the pop top..
I'm thinking about getting this when it comes out on August 1st (in the UK). This review has helped me decide. Thanks man 👍
Very nice set. Looks great😍 Best thing I like how the sliding door on the side is designed. I was wondering Tiago, do you display this set on a shelf, or dissemble it and use the parts for own disigns.
Still assembled, until I need the space or the parts :p
People in the comments saying the first gen was more accurate are insane. This one is based on a baywindow Westfalia T2 and it looks way more accurate to its real life counterpart than the original splitty Lego model.
This is my favorite van! This is amazing to see it in lego form!
Glad you like it!
Your channel is so good!! I love how efficient the videos are. 😃
Appreciate that!
LOL my fav part is the SIDEDOOR OPENING IDK WHY IT SEEMS SO COOL TO ME
Thanks for another great video! I feel the exact same way about Lego Technic, too. Didn't really appreciate the build for the Lamborghini Sian personally tbh, so I'm hoping they make a Creator Expert Lamborghini in the future soon.
Thank you for review, Tiago. As usual, nice, sincere and easy. I believe, implementation of a steering mechanism with technic made the system working easier. This is a nice set, I like it!
Forza Italia! ;)
Awesome review! Set is looking cool 😎
4:24 That better be what they use for pipes in the Microscale Peach's Castle. It's perfect.
Prefer the red one, but the point is it is very easy to create detail in such large scale. The real skill is to make a model minifig scale that is instantly recognisable as a VW camper. Personally, I used the 31079 'generic' yellow camper and modded the frontage to give it the iconic VW look. I also shrank it from 8 studs to 6 wide, which is the optimum vehicle size for minifigs (episode 1 on my channel).
I just ordered my own! Very excited to be getting back into lego as an adult!
Nice to see Lego creator become a bit more like Model Team with functioning steering
Nice review. Looks a great built, it's so sad those stickers. I have the fst t1 and is one of my favorites and a great idea to build your own custom t1.
I'm thinking to build this model (T2) as a freestyle or customized
I can't wait for this 🤯
I love both Technic and regular lego system bricks. I used to design my own candy machine systems and guns as a kid so I'm familiar with technic and it's easy to build with it.
Thats amazing
I would love if you could do a tutorial on that surfboard and the chairs :)
Awesome review, definitely gonna get this. It would be so cool if you made a brick built character in scale with this!
That would be cool!
OMG! I love this. I can see someone doing a MOC of the TMNT Van out of this! I can see it very clearly. You already have the surfboard for Mikey.
That's actually a pretty cool idea ahah!
or The Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo cartoon, by the way 😉
It looks awesome! The color scheme is really nice!
I think so too!
You are very lucky to have so many incredible legos
gorgeous
4:04 those double bar parts was made by hasbro for their KRE-O line up until 2015 ish but it's nice to see that lego is picking up that weird but extremely useful part mantle tho
Looks great! I want one!!!
4:04 my jaw dropped at that new piece! That looks so useful!!!
RIGHT?!
Ummm not sure about this. The T1 seems better shaped than this. Proportions seem a little off. Wouldn’t say I’m sold on it.
Wow amazing I am waiting for t3 now
I have to disagree on this one. The new T2 doesn't look like a Volkswagen 'Bulli' in the slightest ... the T1 was more accurate than this one. That said, the interior is really sweet.
I prefer the old on too.
Fair enough!
Wow! Didn’t even know that LEGO existed and I’m a huge fan 😂
nice set :) and yours the first review I found about T2. nice job!
Got an early copy to review from LEGO!
@@TiagoCatarino ya, i figured :) and thanks for the set review. I think I will get one this Christmas. Looks really nice.
It looks great and has a lot of features I would like to have on lego set just like on the new Land Rover Defender.
A few stickers look conspicuously bad as you say. Lego should have printed those pieces though I understand it would cost them more. I have a few Minecraft sets and also the IDEA's Medieval Blacksmith. They all cost less than this new Campervan set but use no stickers, only print on key pieces and they look great.
Even better than the T1. I have the same problem with Lego Technic, but in this case I am curious how it works and supports the functions.
Will buy the set.
Like, the van is cool,
But that new clip piece!!! That's awesome!
Yeah when the sticker color doesn't match it makes me crazy. Sometimes I just leave them off altogether
The price is ok, but from the design I like the T1 a little bit more, but it is a nice set! Moreover I find it is to colorful in the model so I don't know why it is not grey or black!
Have the beetle and T1 both built Right hand drive, seems the T2 is OK RHD as well
I just picked this one up on Amazon for $120 (thanks to my price drop notification app). On step 6 and have really enjoyed the build. It matches the style and colors of my house so will be a great display piece!
To my opinion the old design looks less square and has a more beautiful red colour than this light blue. I also miss the decorative black stripe.
The new parts are amazing!
Not necessarily new parts, but some I felt I should highlight! The windscreen does feel new!
I don't mind a few stickers, but at least the color should match. Apart from them stickers the Van looks really great. I like that the wheels can turn, but I really like lego technics.
This is going to be one of my birthday gifts!
I would leave the optional sticker sheet unused for the sake of resale value!
And as usual, it can be easily be adapted to Right-Hand Drive!
I'm thinking of it too because I had the t1 and it has been gone for long and also this is a worthy upgrade if you had the t1 or not
Have both. Now I just need to find the Beatle for my set
seems like pretty cool and advanced build with nice techniques and new pieces but it's not my type vehicles.
rear hinged window was a pain to keep together
My friend just bought this car a few months ago. 40 years old and in yellow. Still runs after a few repairs.
Wow! a Lego campervan, my life just got 10 times better
I think the steering with the spare wheel is that, when facing the model from the front, when you turn the wheel to the right, it steers to the right, and vice versa. So I guess it is technically correct.
Lego needs to step up their printing colour matching game. Their stickers don't match and their instruction colors are always off. I think they need to hire someone who specializes in cmyk printing to match the actual brick colors to the printed pieces as well as their stickers.
Yes, agreed. There are colors with no issues usually, but this one here, was a bit much honestly
Looks nice, though the T1 looks a bit more nostalgic. The rainbow colors inside make it almost feel like they took the prototype, and just changed the colors of the parts that are directly visible on the outside. Maybe a new record for different colors used in a single set?
This will look great next to the T1 Camper and the VW Bug on my shelf.
Those stickers on the medium azure parts almost look like they're meant to go on dark turquoise. I'd love to know if they're a better color match to dark turquoise; maybe there was a miscommunication between the set and decal designers.
I want to see t2 and i can see thanks for review
Getting a Review from Technic Sariel and Creator Tiago of the same model... It's so cool to see the different perspectives.
Thanks for the review, you obviously like the set Much more than Sariel did, but that's just how LEGO is. :)
I don't love it! But it's a good set in my eyes!
