LEGO Volkswagen T1 Camper Van 10220

Great, beautiful building set.

Nice package, but the colors black or grey are unclear on the building instructions. So, it's a puzzle.

Great LEGO set

I had hesitated for a long time, but I am very happy with this purchase. I also bought the light kit, so it now functions as a lamp in my house.

Van Life

This very nearly went back in the box when I opened it and found out it wasn't in numbered bags. But, I had been really looking forward to this build so I knuckled down and spent 90 minutes sorting all the pieces out. May seem like a long time but it is SO worth it when it comes to the build as everything is at your fingertips. The build itself is moderately challenging and you do need to concentrate. Perfect for a wet afternoon and I did thoroughly enjoy the build. The little details inside the van are great and not expected as I purchased this by the external look of the camper van and didn't realise it was so highly detailed. Despite being part of the Creator Expert series there is a lot of play value with the kit. It doesn't come with any mini figures but standard ones definitely fit inside - Harry and Ron went on a little holiday in mine ;) Really good value for money build. Number Of Pieces: 1,344 Approximate Price Per Piece: £0.06 Build Time: 6 Hours

Fantastic outcome/lousy labeling

This is by far outside of the Voltron set I put together. The best final outcome/look to the original product. Pictures do no justice for this Camper Van. My coworkers are even amazed how detailed this set is. Favorite part Make LEGO Not War sticker. The issue here is non of the bags had numbers on them. I was literally looking through multiple bags at one time to find a part. Honestly as a result had to do a straight build instead of doing bag ones. Then coming back later because I was afraid I was going to lose parts. Yes one part is missing and I ordered it through the LEGO store. Factoring in the bags were not labeled added probably 2 to 3 hours to the build and some unneeded anxiety. Subtracting 1 brick for that factor only. For future batches of this set made please put them in numbered bags and change the directions to show the numbered bags.

Excellent.

Very enjoyable build as my first set, although no bags were numbered which I found frustrating. I have since purchased the beetle and mini Cooper to start my collection and they all look amazing on my book shelf. Im currently waiting on the James bond Aston Martin to be delivered and will be displayed along with the rest.

Awesome camper van

I bought this for my Wife Julie, she loved it so much she made her own curtains and other thing for it so now its a one of a kind, I hope you like her pictures, now she wants the mini to build

Let’s hit the road

We purchased this because my father-in-law travelled Europe in a real one. One of my favourite builds. The sorting was an awfully long experience, but after sorting all pieces to make the build more enjoyable, I had the best time. The detail is incredible, right down to a tire jack. The rising top is a very nice touch.

Get One!

I'll hardly add more to the previous 297 reviews so a few pics instead. Got this on 20% off black Friday discount along with some cashed VIP points. It was a sweet deal. Thank you LEGO. My first non technic build since I was a kid and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My only request would be a steering mech just to boost the playabikity of these models. Plenty of room under carriage. I'll MOC one for this set once I figure out a suitably obscure HOG cog...

Love it

This set of Lego Creator collection is 5 stars. I'm more fan off the Technic cars, but this one and the F-40 are perfect. The details are fantastic, just missing some figures to complete. Congratulations and thank you Lego.

Great set.

I fell in love with this set as soon as I saw it. I watched a YouTube review and loved it even more. The details in the set are awesome, my favourite being the little lava lamp near the back end. The seats in the back recline to make a bed, it has little checked curtains which really suit the van, the t-shirt in the window was a great idea and the foot pedals and dashboard are spot on. I wasn't keen on the stickers, but they do make the fine details, so it was worth the work to great them in the perfect spot. The roof pops up which is a nice touch and the engine was nicely thought out. I enjoyed building this and I liked the fact it took a while to build (not counting food breaks and dog walks). The guys at lego have really put the effort into this set and you can see all their hard work. I highly recommend this set for anyone who loves Lego or VW.

Fun with Bully

This set was a birthday present from my kids and I loved it. Having played with LEGO almost all my life, this VW was a very nice continuation, I guess one is never too old for that. The T1 Bus set is great, I still like to open all doors and admire the little parts and attention to details. The only disappointment was that there is no steering but I took that as a challenge and implemented a full steering linkage (I also did that on the MINI Cooper set), see photos. I hope that LEGO will issue more classic car sets, there is a lot of important cars which should be conserved by LEGO!

Visualize your dream

If you want a dream to become reality, visualize it. This thought was the reason I bought another LEGO set after about 30 years. Just the sound of the LEGO bricks clashing together brought back old memories and sparked a childish enthusiasm: a completely new set, we're going to build a LEGO model, party time! The model of the 1962 Volkswagen bus consists of more than 1300 bricks! They are mostly small bricks. I noticed how much more refined and varied LEGO has become. It allows you to build a model with so much more detail. In the beginning, I spent quite a bit of time collecting the right pieces. LEGO provides space in its instructions (in this case, consisting of two booklets of about 80 pages each!) for a "mise en place". Like cooks in the kitchen who first collect their ingredients before starting to prepare a recipe, each new LEGO part is described in detail, specifying which bricks you need for that part. With more than 1,000 small bricks, this is very helpful, as the chance of missing a brick is very high. Halfway through, discovering that you have forgotten a brick somewhere, can lead to a thorough search and to partially dismantling what you have built. As the construction progressed and the number of remaining bricks decreased, the building process became faster. It became later and later, but as always, the model still had to be completely finished. I spent about 6.5 hours on it, occasionally staring at bricks that I had never seen before. It is a beautiful model, with a lot of attention to detail. There is even a V-belt in the engine compartment, and curtains hang in the bus. There is also a piece of fabric (for fresh air and against flies) for the part of the roof that can be raised. And pay attention to the colors: red for the bottom, a black trim, and a white top. This black trim is creatively extended along the front of the bus. Take a closer look. Many details have been incorporated into the interior. I will not reveal them all here. Surprise yourself. The only disadvantage of the standard model is that it is not very controllable. There are videos on YouTube showing examples of modifications to the bodywork, and the bus can even be remotely controlled. The LEGO Volkswagen bus is a special model, ingeniously designed, a pleasure to build, and fantastic to look at. The visualization of the dream is there, now just obtaining a real example. Enjoy the fun.

Super Fun Project

Lots of fun details in this build, I am an avid VW lover, the designers did a great job!

The 1962 VW T1 Camper Van is awesome!

This is the first Lego build that I've done since, oh man.. before I was a teen, but I had a blast working on it. I don't remember Lego being this detailed, but this is over 10 years ago... The detail that is put into things such as the engine bay and the interior of the van and the opening camper roof are amazing. From the opening doors, windows and hatches down to the VW licensing makes this build worth checking out. Made for an awesome day build. Not only that, but upon completion, it does make a great collection piece. I happen to have an older VW camper van on my "dream car" list, so this one will hold me over! Overall, I would recommend this build!

Love the Kombi!!!!!

What a great way to spend a long weekend Sunday building the Kombi!! Bought as a gift for my boyfriend who was kind enough to let me build some sections!!! And the end result was AMAZING!!! So detailed and looks exact!!

A great product.

My 12-year-old son really wanted this VW, although it was marked as 16+. I bought it anyway, thinking he would enjoy it for a while during the holidays. He started and actually didn't stop, he was very enthusiastic as he saw something beautiful growing under his hands. He showed us the result in the evening. It's really a collector's item, with a lot of detail. Definitely worth the money!

a true collector's item

On the box, the Volkswagen camper already looked amazing! A real must-have for both young and old. The person who received it was also very happy, and within a day, they had it assembled. Everything can be opened, including the doors. The sofa can be laid flat to create a bed. It's really an amazing car that they have turned into LEGO blocks, which now proudly sits on the shelf in the living room! A real recommendation for anyone who loves LEGO, whether they are 12 years old or 65.

Fantastic Build

Love love love this camper! I am a huge VW fan. as well as a massive lego nut, when i seen this i just knew i had to have it! I was amazed at the detail on this fantastic set, the engine was my favourite bit to put together. It took me a couple of afternoons to put it together but once complete i wanted to take it to bits and start all over again!

The most amazing Lego experience!!! It took me 12 hours... straight!!!!

This was my very first lego creation and I thoroughly enjoyed building it. I love all the features put into, such as the little drawers under the mirror on the inside of the door, the lava lamp in the back corner, the reclining chairs, and all the little features on the dashboard...not to mention all the moving parts. I'm disappointed that the first front half of the roof isn't staying together too well...but if I don't mess with it, it'll stay in place. It took me about 14-15 hours to build. It does take time, but I wouldn't necessarily call it a challenging piece. The detail is truly magnificent and it's a great piece and worth the buy.
