Reddit reviews LEGO Creator Volkswagen T1 Camper Van 10220

Jesus Christ that's like $1000 in Lego. Did you buy those yourself or were they presents from others? If from others you should consider yourself VERY lucky.

I received the VW Campervan 10220 from my wife and am gingerly putting it together and really enjoying taking my time with it. What do you do with your completed sets? Do you take them apart and put them back in their box or do you keep them out on display? I live in a small place so I can only have one set out at a time. How quickly do you build your kits? I bought a pieced-together 10179 from bricklink and took it apart and resold it as soon as I finished it. Took me over two months to put together (at night after I came home from work) and I loved every minute of it. But I literally had no place for it so I had to sell it.

This will be my next LEGO purchase when funds are present.

It's friggin sweet!

It doesn't appear to be a part of a line. I got it from amazon: http://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Creator-Volkswagen-Camper-10220/dp/B0050R0XEG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1344092113&sr=8-1&keywords=lego+vw+bus
It was a really fun build. Took about 4 to 5 hours

Legos are the best. Check out that camper, the one of my dreams.

Trying again without links:

So, I decided that I don't feel like spending more time on this, and I got most of them, so let's roll with it.

Riddle 1

Wine

[Item - Spaetzle Maker] amazon.com/dp/B00004UE89/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2RQMTOPDX95LA&coliid=I3T5XA41NPA20B

So this is kind of a stretch, but hear me out. Over the weekend, I let the "German" in me out, and I cooked a wonderful meal consisting of schnitzel (pork shoulder blade, fried to perfection) and a side of spaetzle (German dumplings). That evening, I also bought a bottle of Roscato (a sweet red wine from Italy) to have with dinner, and it was DELICIOUS. While making the meal and drinking the wine, I mentioned to my wife how great it would be to have a spaetzle maker. She agreed, so it's on the WL.

Riddle 2

A doormat (though based on theme it should really be a broom, but that doesn't make sense in your riddle)

[Item - Subaru Floor Mats] amazon.com/dp/B004HGXWXU/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1462GJGC40KP1&coliid=IAIIHKXJYAGUI

So on Thursday I bought myself a new-to-me 2011 Subaru Legacy. It's pretty cool minus the issues with the key, but besides the $100 I had to spend to "fix" it, it's grand. I noticed when checking out the car that it had gray Jetta floor mats. Note that my car has black leather interior, and is a Subaru, not a VW Jetta. I found these, they have good reviews, so I put them on my WL as something to get for my new car so I can get rid of those awful floor mats.

Riddle 3

A hat

[Item - Sunglasses] amazon.com/dp/B005P195KU/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=P31L4QN6S6PK&coliid=I2DOHRI12MKZ6T&psc=1

There are two things every good baseball/softball/wiffleball player needs. A good hat, and a good pair of sunglasses. I always wear a hat (thanks a lot, male pattern baldness), so I've got plenty of those (need to get a new one, but Amazon doesn't have the one I want). What I don't have is a good pair of sunglasses for playing ball outside. My aviators are scratched, and, well, wearing aviators to play sports doesn't exactly work well. These are sitting on my WL for that day where I finally go "DAMMIT I NEED SUNGLASSES TO GO WITH MY HAT."

Riddle 4

A book

[Item - A+ Cert Study Book] amazon.com/dp/1118324056/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=E9RD1GO4V1KF&coliid=I3I1EOQ0P5X4TS

So this one is REALLY lame compared to my other stories. For this, it's an ACTUAL BOOK (how lame). I work in IT, and one of the most BASIC qualifications for most jobs is CompTIA A+ certification. I know that with a brief refresher I could pass the test pretty easily, but I don't want to take any risks, and would rather study up and blow it out of the water. I need this book in order to help me do that.

Riddle 5

This one I'm not sure about, but I can't take any more time to figure it out (thanks a lot, work). A trunk? that seems to make the most sense based on the theme here....

[Item - LEGO VW Camper Van] amazon.com/dp/B0050R0XEG/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2KY51TV5KVQCC&coliid=I1FBGVJXQ9BEYK)

This one is a real stretch. When I went through this the first time, I thought that you were looking for "A car" (boot//trunk//place to store stuff or even hide in), but then when I looked at the theme of everything, I decided that was wrong. I changed my mind and went with a trunk. To combine those two things, here's the LEGO version of a car, which has a trunk, and also has a little suitcase on the top of it, as it is meant for camping and camping activities - a great place to hide away from everything!

Bonus

A cape!

[Item - LEGO Movie Batman figure] amazon.com/dp/B002U2UFB0/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2KY51TV5KVQCC&coliid=I2J6HQ9IEA6T9E)

What better way to exemplify the answer of "A cape" to a riddle than with a legit superhero. I actually bought this little batman for a friend of mine, and after putting it together, thought I should have one myself. He has two faces, a cape, the bat helmet, and a batarang. This character is simply awesome in the movie, and looks pretty damn awesome to boot! (Get it? Boot? From the last riddle? ^(I get it ... it's not funny...))

No WL Additions were made for this, I improvised and managed to connect everything to something already on my WL. Thanks for the contest!!!

This because who doesn't love legos and there's sooooooooo much detail.

g-unit

I got mine on Amazon for $120.
