LEGO Creator Tuk Tuk Set 40469

Product Information

I think it's a great model of a Tuk Tuk, but I think it would be better as a smaller vehicle for minifigures, maybe with a little market stall or street scene. But this version is something different, for one it’s not Minifigure scale, it’s also a little more detailed than those featured as part of other sets. The only hire vehicle is in LEGO Indiana Jones 2 game in Bangkok, but this simple brown and green vehicle from 2009 never appeared in any sets or films. I fixed the car with some long plates to a weighted brick as anchor and after finding the right angle taped some plates on the table as guide rails.

I love that you can put minifigures in, though they will tend to slide off the passenger seat if it's moved around a bit, and the driver fits quite snugly. Some of you may know me from other LEGO sites so you'll know I have a good experience of the LEGO community and a deep, passionate commitment to all things LEGO. Have fun on the bustling streets of India with this detailed and brightly colored Tuk Tuk (40469) toy car. I haven’t purchased many small or mid-sized Creator sets recently, as my regular LEGO diet has consisted of a main course of Star Wars with sides of City and Collectible Minifigures, with a variety of sets from other themes tossed in there for good measure. Details abound in the model, including the fire extinguisher on the back and the lunch boxes strapped to the roof.It features a host of realistic details including front and back seats, hanging decorations, a fire extinguisher and Indian-style lunchboxes in a pallet on the roof, so kids have all they need to create fantastic stories. There are some SNOT (Studs Not On Top) techniques used for the front and rear bumper and the many jumper plates are used to shift the upper part of the car half a stud. While no minifigures are included with the set, any minifigures you already own can fit inside the tuk-tuk, and there is room inside for one driver and two passengers.
