LEGO Creator Tuk Tuk Set 40469

Product Information

Later I watched some reviews on YouTube of the set (watching reviews of a set after I’ve already purchased it, defeats the purpose… I know). To give some highlights to the scene, I used some LEDs to light up the head and taillights of the taxi and to illuminate the windows of the houses. Unfortunately Covid restrictions foiled my plan to take photos with an Asian vibe at some special locations. This is a really great set, but I think the name is weird considering that it's meant to be an Indian vehicle.

The set is based on the auto rickshaws, commonly known as Three-wheelers or tuk-tuks used in India and Sri Lanka.The blend of yellows, pinks, greens and blues, along with the orange and red studs lining the roof, results in an eye-catching build. There isn’t much to dislike about this vehicle, except maybe the fact that I don’t actually have a Ninjago city to put it in. When you purchase a product or service via selected links, Silverback Publishing will earn a small commission. The fact the LEGO version features a fire extinguisher also seems to be a little farfetched if the way they are driven around is anything to go by. Therefore I was looking for some alternatives in my neighbourhood and I found some tall grass which could double for bamboo or jungle vegetation.

LEGO® fans aged 7 and up who love to build and play with model cars can take the tuk-tuk on their own adventure or add it to their collection with their other LEGO sets. I have little interest in vehicles, and so many sets come with them that I already have an abundance of cars.bricks taller on the interior height than the tuk-tuk that came with 70607 Ninjago City Chase -- plus extra height in the build outside. We’ve supported 100’s of businesses with a variety of bespoke LEGO B2B services providing each client with a dedicated single point of contact throughout the process. Sure, the thought that it might be a tad oversized did cross my mind- but I didn’t let that stop me. 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.

Actually there are quite a few operating in central London, I think most European capitals have tuk tuks these days. I've been driven around in a colourful tuk tuk like this one in the middle of Bangkok, and i can tell those drivers hardly ever slow down! Tuk-tuk measures over 3” (9cm) high, 2” (6cm) long and 4” (10cm) wide – great for playing at home, but its size makes it easy to fit in your bag so you can enjoy the fun on the go. With India poised to be the next big toy market, this could signal the LEGO Group’s first push into a new region, similar to .

Similar to the mini LEGO London Bus, there are a couple of new sets based on regional transportation. I'm not sure why this can't be minifig scale, when vehicles like the City ice cream truck and pizza van are about twice the height of a minifig. Ultimately I think it was probably smart for this set, as a Creator set focused more on the vehicle itself than its occupants, to opt for more realistic proportions (even if that renders it slightly too big for minifigures).
