Lego T2 wedge poptop camper released (I know it's not a T3)

[dsdunbar]

Hey all,
First to the admins, I know this isn't a vanagon but I did a Google search and no hits came up on the samba that this has been mentioned anywhere. While not a T3, it has so many great features built in that one might be creative enough to modify the front and rear hatch to replicate a T3?

Anyways, lego has a new set, and it looks awesome.

Here is the lego designer talking through the design elements.

Hope you all are well!

At 2,207 pieces it's only 100 pieces shy of a real T2 camper.

Lego's been putting out some pretty neat kits. They had one for the Saturn V rocket that's now discontinued. A bit pricey, but if an adult wants to spend close to $200 on a Lego kit after they've replaced their fuel lines, let 'em do it.
