I didn't even know this existed

For anyone wondering what SNOT means - Studs Not On Top

You are a fantastic lego reviewer and make no mistake. I subscribe to lots of lego channels but yours is the first I go to when a review pops up.

I love it when you upload, you might just have the best Lego KZfaq channel on the platform you review each set with so much detail it just shows your hard work and I respect that, even if you nit-pick some of my favourite sets

if they're going to prioritize functions over looks with these large-scale cars they need to go full Aston Martin DB5 or not even bother

Me who wanted a review of the lego Zetros but still just love any content from Sariel: This is… acceptable.

The low mounted front turning lights was a feature of the first version of the VW T2 now referred to as the T2a. The T2a was manufactured from autumn 1967 to summer of 1972 (MY 1968-1972). The T2a also had the taillights of the last version of the T1. The high mounted front turning lights were introduced the autumn of 1972 (MY 1973) and used until 1979. Now referred to as the T2b. The T2b got new larger taillights with integrated reversing lights, larger „square“ bumpers, an improved front crash protection structure and more.

Thanks for the review! I love the new models! So many details! Thanks Lego!

Thanks for the breakdown. Glad to see the technic brick 5x5 in white.

Oh no, in my review I said the FORMA connector was a totally new piece, d'oh! Thanks for setting the record straight!

Still on my must-have list along with that brown-red pick-up.

That's awesome. The original camper was actually what got me back into LEGO as an adult. So I'm definitely picking this up as well.

Surery another to join my collection. Great video.

I really like this tyres!

Model: Brightly coloured camper, full of happy stickers Box: B L A C K

As i see this video in my recommended section, first thing i do before opening the video is taking a quick look again at my "T1" VW camping van.

Munbo jumbo would love it !

I’m blown away this set came out this year. The front looks so bad it’s insulting that this is sold under the VW license. Maybe 10-15 year ago I could see this set looking like this, but not now. If you asked me what this was, I’d say “uhhh maybe a VW bus?” Instead of what I say when I see the T1: “oh that? That’s a VW bus. No question about it.” The functions are great, especially the roof, but once again lego seems hell bent on making functional or “unseen” parts as colorful as possible. The underside of that roof should not be a rainbow. The sets that are marketed to this age demographic don’t need help following instructions.

awsome review, and that set looks awsome

Great review Sariel! I may not be the biggest fan of the set, but I do think the blue color looks nice and gives it a very unique feel. I hope they make more sets with bright colors.

Yes we need the box art designers to rebel against the plague of all black box art. Fantastic review as well as per usual.

Great review! Comment at 21.46’ really hits the spot.

I love your reviews, they are always so thoughtful andI have learned so much from you, thanks for these videos.

Thank you for an honest review. A newer model is NOT always a better model. The original T1 is a much better Lego set and build. I'm afraid Lego failed on the T2. Glad you are 'brave' enough to point this out.

This is amazing!!

love all the details in this one :)

The only reviews I watch.

Also thanks for being bluntly (pun intended, regarding the flattened front part of the set) honest about how you see this set.

Awesome, dude! I think it’s like the first time we learned about a set from your review)! Can’t wait to get my hands on the model!

This actually appeals to me.

your music is soooo good

Great review :)

Wow, this is Cool!! I want to buy one.

I appreciate the later uploads, I can get a little more sleep lol, love the videos, can't wait for a review on the tow truck and the raptor sets

19:17 Don’t you find the Hand of God steering a little uncomfortable? Cuz I do

Mumbo better get this 〰️

This thing is cool, love the vids

Really awesome review, so sad that the KZfaq algorithm doesn‘t work in your favour lately, this really deserves more views.... Btw, feels like the first time I‘ve seen you give a set one star for the building experience😂

looking forward to your guardians’ ship review

Still more functions than the normal techinc set ;D btw love your videos mate!

Here's a comment for the algorithm. Great stuff as usual!

- Oh my god... They found me. I don't know how but they found me. RUN FOR IT, MARTY!!! - Who, who? - Who do you think, THE LIBYANS!

All colours of the rainbow, could be FRIENDS set ...

Thats sliding door is just... pr0nography ngl, that thing is so well made!

Great Review Man! I am especially happy that you are not to give a bad score/final note even though you got it for free! +20 credibility if your channel was a magic item :)

Mumbo would love this Van . He have this irl

Cool! 👍 👍 👍

I'm not really a fan of this set but I like to see some rather technic functions in a creator set. It still looks decent but has nice complex things like the steering, sliding doors and that tent thing on top

Cool

This would look great with my other VW Bus

T-800 is really worth the wait

Why didn't they use clear stickers for these grille patterns at the front? Solves the issue of bad color matching.

From another review I thought the windscreen was the ghostbusters one but it is different. Actually it is 1 stud higher and only 3 studs wide/long. Were the gb screen is a 6 x 14 x 4 this would be a 3 x 14 x 5. I could use one for moccing.

19:22 The way that steering wheel is placed reminds me of the LEGO Technic Mack Anthem released in 2018

Wow

i like vespa

You really pulled out a split window, double cab model. One of the rarest VW's in existence O_O

The song you used at the beginning in the best track you use in your vids, when I hear it I know it’ll be a great vid

Sets like these are cool, I have the Ford you showed there, and I have the Porsche of the same scale. The only problem with these is the mess of colour hidden away, knowing it’s there bothered me!

I like it when other KZfaqrs are making videos about leaked photos about this set, and Sriel is already publishing in-hand reviews.

25:00 - yeah, that colour mismatch really bothered me in the Jaguar combo set last year in the Speed Champions line. The funny thing is, no one seemed to mention it in their reviews, so I thought I was the only one.

I really wanted this set. I was excited to see it released and with all the counterculture references in the stickers because I'm a huge 60s counterculture enthusiast. But there was always something that looked wrong about this set and it started with the front that does not say "Volkswagen" in any way. The T1 also has much better details in the interior. I'm trying to make my mind up about which set will be my last one for the year between this and the Farm Truck and I think the decision is a lot easier now.

Any chance you could create a 63, or early 60’s, Econoline window van

how hard is it to make sure that the sticker colour matches the the brick colour?

Great review as always! Anyone know the name of the first song?

I liked your review very much; so much, that I subscribed. I'm glad that you don't cut LEGO any slack. I was at times uncomfortable watching your speed build, because I could tell that there were either some construction or instruction problems. Was going to buy this set for my son who is a 'Van Life' aficionado, but now I'm not going to because of two things--the difference in size between this and the original (he has that one and we built it together), and secondly the build experience which I believe he would find frustrating (he's not a LEGO nut like the rest of us). I wouldn't subject him to that just because I'm a LEGO fan. Too bad, but that's why you do the reviews, and thanks for all the good information!

Sariel's T1 Review for those interested: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y9t_qJiZlcmnoYU.html

I've got the red one

Those white pin-axles 3L for the front wheels are frictionless on the pin side ? Haven't such piece before.

21:45 You got me there.

I love it and I'm buying it! Btw, will you do a review on the raptor as well? I might like it more if I see it in detail :)

I also didn't know this existed... although I will probably be spammed with email from LEGO about later this week. I agree with you that the color scheme could have been more iconic. I am sure the color is one of the main reasons people got the T1, it's certainly why I loved it. I hope if this gets a longish life LEGO re-releases at some point with "refreshed" box art.

I just got through building the set. While normally I agree with your reviews I must strongly disagree with this one. I don't find it unattractive at all I think it looks great and it's a great Lego model and I'm very happy with it.

as a VW fan, I am happy this set exist and will buy it. Also as a VW fan, I am sad that LEGO did not do T2 aesthetic justice.

With the Sticker Color i dont understand why they arent just clear with detail?

If I didnt read the title i wouldnt know that this schould be a Volkswagen t2

Really hope LEGO understands that bigger and more complex =/= better. Feels like this follow-up was designed with the intention to impress with its size, building techniques, and functionality. And I'll hand it to them, they excelled in those areas. But honestly, none of that matters all too much if the model lacks authenticity in its appearance. To paraphrase you, the model feels too blocky and bloated, as compared to the round and slender appearance of a real T2. Also, I am perplexed by the decision to size this up. It only increases the price, and maybe adds a few more details. But is a $50+ increase going to justify any additional features to the average consumer?

Świetna recenzja Uważam, że ten set powinien mieć nadruki zamiast naklejek (m.in. napis Volkswagen). Szkoda, że Lego nie robi tych pojazdów w zbliżonej skali, a większość ma niestety różną skalę. Ciekawe jak z czasem ten set zyska na wartości, bo może być to dobra inwestycja na późniejszą sprzedaż

I couldn't have been the only person expecting to see "Mystery Machine" stickered on it somewhere, could I?

Lego might as well make a TMNT van

Was there a media embargo on this set, it seems like other channels released around the same time

I guess I have the next 10 years to think about buying this one.

Cześć, nie chce żeby wyszło, że się czepiam, ale za każdym razem kiedy krytykujesz spasowanie elementów czy odbieganie od oryginału zadaję sobie pytanie: "czy zrobiłbyś lepiej?" Wiem, że przykładasz dużą wagę do detali swoich konstrukcji, masz zdecydowanie ponadprzeciętne umiejętności, więc to nawet bardziej pytanie czy pewne rzeczy da się zrobić lepiej, nie tworząc specjalnych klocków do rozwiązania pewnego problemu konstrukcyjnego? Pewnie nie masz czasu, ale czy nie kusi Cię czasem żeby "zmodować" taki zestaw i pokazać, że stosunkowo łatwo można go ulepszyć/urealnić?

They made another one?

So, by the time we get the t-34 we'll all be dead... And don't even think about the t800

The sticker color mismatch could be solved simply by using transparent stickers......Lego had transparent stickers back in 90's, wonder why they don't use it anymore

If you don’t tell me this is a Volkswagen t2, I will say this is a really cool minibus.

The front is really bad and I 100% agree with your cons. Maybe I'll buy it at a 50% discount.

The lower indicators appeared on the early versions of this van late 60s very early 70s. Thereafter they were mounted higher up. Agree with the front of this set looking bad!

I like the functions, but it has a bad case of the Aston Martin syndrome. T1 still wins my heart.

Honestly, rather than making a (if im not mistaken) non brazilian version of another VW combi, they should have made a toyota land cruiser 70 troopy camper like the one from 4xoverland... I think that would be fabulous... But i am quite astonished by a lot of its functions in it, not like a lot of the creator series

19:52 I spotted a mistake. The text says "wiht" instead of "with".

So why did they make another one of these vans?

If you did not get the T1 this set is cool but if like me and so many others got the T1, I don't feel its anywhere near as good, the T1 is about half as much which to me these creator expert cars should around £100, the ford mustang should be the upper limit of price. I have no issue with the colours apart from Legos continous struggles with matching colours on bricks to stickers they should probably make them clear backed (more unforgiving but result is better). Based on what I said I will not get this set but want to get the white pieces from the T1 in new condition as I got mine second hand.

Final note : kids,wanna go to the roller coaster? XD

Let us know when you get your hands on 10290 Pickup Truck! ;-)

*WAIT WAIT WAIT WHAT THE HELL I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN PROMO PIC LEAKS AROUND THE INTERNET YET AND YOU GOT IT ALREADY I-*

I'm not sure if you know, but "veloce" (that you wrote with stickers) means "fast" in italian!

21:41 угарнул)

Aren't those white frictionless axles for the front wheels new?
