LEGO Group in Deal With Volkswagen

[5150 Lego]

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

Thanks for sharing legomilk!

That would be sweet! I'd love an RS4 with working suspention, steering, engine tranny 4 wheel drive the works! Ido hope this opens the doors for more VW models. A VW camper would be nice, but i'd like to see an MK4 GTI.

Great model, I'll be buying this when it gets discounted somewhere....

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!

Actually the cars in the Legolandparks are much smaller than this Volkswagen. They fit inside it actually, this thing is 22 studs wide (at least the front bumper is) and the park-cars are no more than 10 or 12 studs.

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.

Hilarious! Especially that little stairs and steering wheel on the back :-D

That looks good, but it's more technic-figure or Belville-figure big

(Although I think Hinckley's or Sinners Avatars would to try it, LOL)

He's saying it's too big for mini-figs, but could probably fit Technic, Belville or Fabuland figures. :-)

it's "studly". hope it's only preliminary and they would eventually smoothen it out

Thanks for those pics Legomilk and pedroagnelo!

I love this car *wub* *wub*

The spare wheel in the boot/trunk, the gas/breaking panels, the little engine..... Wow, I hope this is the definitive version and not something preliminary. Only the steering wheel could have been better.

I have to have this car 8-

[simonwillems]

My ony fear is that I will not be able to afford it :'-(

...which isn't that hard to imagine. I fear the pricetag as well (somewhere between 150-200 euro, I think).

Looking at the link to the AutoBild article it seems that the set is going to cost 120 Euros which is

[Mr Hobbles]

I am SOO buying this set.

To the people asking about scale: I doubt it'll fit minifig, fabuland or technic. Maybe Belville, but I doubt it. I think it's meant to be the same scale as the cars you find dotted around LEGOLAND.
