Overall it is a very nice set with alot of unique parts as well for the color, it was an interesting build and i had fun building it. the only problem is that if you are looking for playability, there is not much, the wheels do not turn left or right, it just goes back and forth. It is though, a fantastic display model. and it is worth the price for any LEGO of VW fan.

Where'd you pick that up? And did they have a Ghia?

That's freaking awesome, though!

there is no Ghia, this is just one VW Model LEGO offers.

I bought it at the LEGO store in Woodfield mall in Schaumburg, but it is available on LEGO.com

No Ghia? LEGO FTL  

That's still a cool model though. I wish they had some lambo's, or an R8

They DO have the Millenium Falcon, its only $550 though.

your wish might come true with the lambo... LEGO signed a contract with Lamborghini for 2009 so there should be a lambo set or two towards the later half of 2009... you did not here this from me. shhh.


and yes, the millennium falcon is an Awesome set.

i almost bought it... i did buy the star destroyer set that was 300$... and i used it only for parts.

i also have two of the large statue of liberty set from a few years ago and those were 250 each, not to mention all my other sets... i do not even want to know how much i have.
