Yep. They missed the likeness on the front. But the back of the t2 is unmistakable. I suppose that’s true for the t1 as well though.

@@taylortisaac I think the t2 front looks spot on, but the t2 is just too blocky, then again it’s 10 years old

@@Haemorrhoid_gaminghuh? The t2 isnt 10 years old. The t1 is

@@taylortisaac I meant t1 when I said blocky

@@Haemorrhoid_gaming oh gotcha

I'd prefer T1 with T-34's looks and T-34's functions ;)

@@searme I am not going to pretend that I disagree with your statement. Although with LEGO's talent of approximating shapes, I'd fully expect one of those cheap movie replica Tigers built on T-55 chassis

@@searme I'd buy that before even looking at the price

I think te t2 is bland. too many straight lines, too clean. the t1 captures the essence of teh volkswagen bus feeling. It has more, more curves, more bricky textures. just in general it feels more like fun.

On paper the T2 is better: bigger scale, more parts, it's newer and therefore has more sophisticated building techniques. But it still looks a bit off as a scale model while the T1 has some charm. Or maybe it's just nostalgia because car models from Lego were new 10 years ago and now we got used to it.

@@jochenkraus7016 Its to model like. It doesnt have the lego play and rebuild type fun. nor does it capture the hippy essense of what its ment to be. Its supposed to be a little messy camper van. a bit too cramped and tiny, but everything you need.

I disagree with the T1 pulling off its look perfectly. The T1 tries to pull off the rounded look, but is too jagged to pull it off for me. The curved windowframes contrast too hard with the straight windows and are too thick because it really needed the scale of the T2 to pull that off. The windows in the T2 are a lot more flush to the frames and the frames appear slimmer, because of the increased scale. The curved (or rather jagged) color sections of the front of the T1 are covered up with curved rods to suggest smooth curves, but this actually deviates way too much from what it is supposed to look like. The T2 is way more faithful to the actual van, is much cleaner and vastly superior for me. It's also due to the actual T2 being less curvy than the actual T1, which I've been noticing with the other sets as well. The Lego Ford Mustang looks a lot more like its counterpart than the Lego Aston Martin DB5 or Porsche 911, because the straight lines of the Mustang are easier to replicate than the curved lines of the Aston or Porsche.

Thanks! Much more to come!

Correct! The rear roof section of the T1 is removable as well and the interior also has some other nice features (table to fold down, opening doors of the cabinet/fridge ...). IMHO, the shape of the T1 is well met, whereas the T2 does not look too much like a T2 at all. However, the working steering is great!

You're correct, it wasn't released in 2012. It was released in 2011.

@@searme my bad, typo.

I don't think the T2 will be sold for 9 years like the T1

I think Sariel is a sith lord

Ale zdajesz sobie sprawę że to są dwie osobne części recenzji filmowane kompletnie osobno?

@@searme Ale jeśli jest tylko jedna unikatowa część w całym zestawie, to po zbudowaniu musisz rozłożyć kawałek zestawu, żeby pokazać tą unikatową część.

None of them, they're both at significantly smaller scale. See my T2 review for a comparison.

@@searme thanks!

nope, real T1 has this feature as well :)

@@michaltomasek7396 I am not an expert in the real T1, nor in the Lego model as it seems...

A thing I hate in general that also applies to this model is the exessive use of colorful pieces that peak through at some places like behind the tires and especially under the roof. I'm pretty sure people older that 18 are able to build even when it does not look like rainbows from the inside. The T1 did not have that issue.

Polemizowałbym. T1 ma dużo smaczków, drobnych detali wewnątrz, przez co mimo mniejszej skali wygląda ciekawiej.
