LEGO Creator Tuk Tuk Set 40469

Product Information

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. With the addition of three extra parts, 42117 can feel at home in any LEGO city or airport display among the other system aircraft you might have. We asked them to give us their thoughts on the sets and share some insights into how they went about photographing them. Details abound in the model, including the fire extinguisher on the back and the lunch boxes strapped to the roof.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. It is not only a first model of this vehicle, but also the scale is slightly bigger than minifig scale.A minifigure sitting in the seat of this doesn't look too bad, until you realize that instead of longer legs that bend at the knees, the minifigure's stumpy legs extend straight in front of them, suspended off the "floor" of the vehicle by almost half the length of their body! The very nature of a tuk tuk means that there's space in this model for a driver in the front and passengers in the back.

Therefore I was looking for some alternatives in my neighbourhood and I found some tall grass which could double for bamboo or jungle vegetation. 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. 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. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag.The lunch boxes also give it a bit too much height relative to other Lego City vehicles, but this is not a deal-breaker at all. Some moments there are so many of those tuk tuks riding that it seems like you're in the middle of a street race! Bit what tipped it over the edge were the two studs on the driver’s seat – perfect for a minifigure to sit on. If you’ve already bought and built a copy of the minifigure-scale transport, you’ll know it contains a staple of LEGO sets in a fire extinguisher.
