About this deal

There’s also no denying that this is an extremely stunning model to look at. The initial photos were great, but they don’t really do the set justice as many of its best features show themselves as you take time to appreciate it up close. If you own the LEGO Harley-Davidson and have yours built, I’d love to know what you like most about the set in the comments.

This model here uses LEGO chains for the engine to function, but I feel like this fact might bother hardcore Harley fans. Building the set was a brisk, but extremely enjoyable experience. The set isn’t the largest at 1023 pieces.

I was also very impressed by the twin exhausts, and the angles in which they connect to the engine looks very well-proportionate and believable to me.Here’s a closer look at the iconic printed Harley Davidson logo, which is placed on the fuel tank – it’s one of the other parts of the bike that the designers managed to replicate so particularly well. From the very first bag, the build was enjoyable from start to finish, even for a LEGO veteran like myself. The novelty of the build, which did an amazing job blending regular LEGO elements with Technic was such a breath of fresh air. I was engaged throughout the build, and it kept me guessing all the way, as to how the Harley would take shape, and it’s the most fun I’ve had building a LEGO set in awhile.

The build and design proves that LEGO still can innovate and flex their design prowess, taking on a shape as challenging as a Harley Davidson and nailing the design so faithfully. I also really like the elegance and restraint shown when it comes to the details – it’s a “less is more” approach, without over-greebling, allowing the core parts to truly shine.Looking at the four numbered bags that popped out the box, I could immediately tell that it wasn’t going to be a substantial set. will go down in history as one of the years with the most surprises coming out of LEGO, and the unveiling of 10269 Harley-Davidson was certainly high on my list of things I never expected LEGO to do. If you’re looking for an accessible Creator Expert set that’s a lot of fun to build, and looks great on display, look no further than the Harley-Davidson. I don’t know what the 41 and MFG stand for, so if anyone can enlighten me in the comments, that’d be great!

Also, unlike Creator Expert cars, you get to truly appreciate the “innards” of the Harley Davidson as it’s mostly exposed to the world. The wheels are custom-designed for the model, and the super-sized aesthetic looks particularly realistic – the threads on the tyres are great to look at. Final thoughts:There’s no denying that the Harley-Davidson is such a design triumph for LEGO and I enjoyed every bit of this set way more than I thought I would. After years of building Creator Expert cars, you kind of know what to expect, but what I enjoyed much about the Harley is how unexpected and surprising the build was. Could it be improved? Of course. As good as the design is, it’s missing all the chrome goodness that well-maintained Harleys are known for. That would be prohibitively expensive, but it’s nice to dream about an alternate model with all-chrome parts.Oh and another fun thing about the LEGO Harley-Davidson? The Star Wars constraction figures are just the perfect size to pose with them.
