Tks for the article Legomilk ;-)

OK so now we know its not a SAH exclusive only since they mention retail stores which is a good news. Also its may 2008 ;-)

The last paragraph seems rather interesting

Thanks Legomilk.

A Lego VW Beetle, cool!! So we already have news on the second half of 08! I look forward to seeing what else VW related sets are made, this could be promising. I'd like to see a camper van next, or a new beetle.

[oo7]

Ahh, so we'll be getting a Lego Volkswagon set in 2008 to go with our LEGO Nazis that will be released in December. :-P

Didn't LEGO also have a corporate alliance with Volvo a while back?

Well, we actually already knew about several summer 2008 sets, this is 10187 Volkswagen Beetle, that turned up briefly in LEGO's replacement parts service.

[Lord Of Pies]

Ahhh yes of course!! I forgot about those! :-D :-|

[natelite]

i would be real impressed when they do one in MF scale. :-D

not going to get the ucs model. no display space for one in mini scale. :-P

[SirNadroj]

Oh man, this sounds cool! *wub* VW Beetles are such great little cars (though I like Mini Coopers better :-P ) Didn't LEGO run a commercial for the Honda Element where a life-sized car assembles itself from bricks? ;-)

[jedikermit]

Awesome. My first gf's car was a VW Beetle--lots of fun memories of that car. And come to think of it, back in the 70's, my parents had an orange VW Bus. We named it George.

I'm hoping for minifig scaled VWs too...that would really be something!

[Corvus]

What a cute little model. *wub* I wonder if these will be the first in a line...

If I could change it, I would've picked the Shelby Cobra. *wub*

The edges were one of the things the Volkswagen factory wasn

[Batbrick]

Thanks for the news Legomilk! *sweet*

Wow, this is cool, I do hope that they release a wave of minifig scale ones, I really want a hippy volkswagon van in my Tabletown! X-D

Batbrick Away! >:-)

I second that I think a cool one would be:

[Wout]

I'm not gonna buy it , but it is very nice

with many dark blue pieces *wub*

[Starwars4J]

I see a dark blue parts pack *wub*

[Mr Hobbles]

Interesting. I can almost see myself purchasing this. ;-) I've always loved the Miniland scale vehicles they have at the parks, would be awesome to actually own one!

[iamded]

Great news! Although I won't be getting this (dedicated to Castle I am), it still looks great and I can't wait o see the first review here on EB. X-D Although the windscreen wipers looks a bit small. 8-|

[Captain Green Hair]

This is great, i hope we get to see some Audi's too *wub*

Thanks for sharing legomilk!

[maiq the liar]

It's nice, but i wish it was minifig-scaled...

[Lt. Col. Thok]

They're going to make mini-fig scale. It looks good!!

[LEGO Maniac JEM]

I'd LOVE it if Lego made a minifigure scale 1982 VW camper just like the one which Tony Banks (the keyboardist from Genesis) owned (not sure if he still owns it). It would have all the cupboards which could be opened and closed, fabric curtains, a fridge, stove, a kettle, cups, plates, the seats could all be moved just like the real vehicle, the roof could be lifted up with the piece of material on it just like the real one and the roof and piece of material could be completely removed for easy access to the inside of the model.

*wub* x a million. :'-)

It would be better if they did Richard Hammond's amphiboius VW Camper Narrowboat. That one made me laugh. A lot. Twice.

Staying on topic: That blue beetle is a lot nicer than the grey on that was previewed. I'm tempted to get one, pity I need to save up money for a proper car, seing how my current one has fallen to the plague known as rust.

Nonetheless, if the Beetle should prove to be a success, I sure hope LEGO would consider doing the Combi, and maybe also the Mk. I Golf GTi as well.

[El Bucanero]

MF sized based on real cars cars. Now that would be cool! As long as it's not going to be 4 wide cars.. If they do it I'd prefer realistic scale.

Although I'm not a fan of those UCS models, this is a very pretty model.

Now if they had only gotten the license for Aston Martin!!!

DB5 on!!! :'-)

[Hinckley]

I would love to see mini-fig scale bugs or any VW as long as it was 6 wide with realistic windshields and working doors. This could mean a step up in realism for mini-fig scale LEGO cars!! *wub*

VW on!!

[Brickmaster]

Being the owner of a 69 Volkswagen Beetle I am so getting the set(s) when they come out *wub*
