Customer Ratings & Reviews

As you can see from the pics, I also have the first Lego VW T1 Van, and this T2 Van is a great follow-up. Improving in both complexity and design, this was an immensely enjoyable building experience. The attention to detail and the way they were able design the all the interactive elements was impressive as well. At first, I thought that the new VW T2 set was too boxy, but then I saw actual photos of the camper version of the van, and it made a lot more sense. Online reviews are overwhelming positive, but a few did mention what they felt were design flaws. I did find a couple of points in the build that they could have improved on. The front bumper assembly very easily comes off, so much so, I decided to glue it in place. In hindsight, a less permanent approach would have been to simply wait until I finished the build and put it on last. Another concern some have found was that the top pop-up roof assembly bows ever so slightly. I didn’t have this issue, but as I was assembling the roof, I could see where the weak point is in the design. Lego should have added an extra layer of overlapping plate pieces to eliminate the weak spot, instead of the initial single layer of plate pieces. There is a small spring in the assembly that puts a small amount of pressure on the roof. I used a few additional 1x4 plates on the underside to strengthen this. I also added a couple of matching plates at the front to better fill in the gap between the cloth and Lego pieces. Besides those few elements, I thought the rest of the build was flawless. As you can also see in the pics, I added a roof rack to the van, which was another small complaint some had. In fairness the original camper version of the T2 Van didn’t come with a roof rack, but there is no place to hold the surfboard. So, using inspiration from my Lego VW Bug roof rack, I ordered the pieces for the roof rack as well as the extra pieces for the front of the roof, from a third party. I tried a few different color and piece options. I wanted to preserve Lego’s design as much as I could and ended up with what you see in the pics. Overall, a very enjoyable and relaxing build, worth the price of admission. If you like collecting Lego’s VW designs, then you don’t want to miss out on this one.

LEGO have been stepping up their game each year. I remember what their sets were like back in the 80s and 90s and this set (along with many of their Star Wars sets) blow me away. I bought this set for my father who has a Volkswagen Vanagon Camper Van and he absolutely loved it. He is currently putting it together and he is in awe with the engineering involved in putting together the different sections. This is a must get for anyone who loves LEGO's, vehicles, or loves this style of camper van!

Had a lot of fun building this set. Just the right amount of challenge. Details are pretty awesome. Pretty durable as well. My kids dropped it and only lost a few pieces. Real easy to repair.

Great lego kit that has taken my kid and i many weeks to complete *working on it one day a week)

Bought item as a gift. Im looking forward to the finished product
