LEGO Creator Tuk Tuk Set 40469

Product Information

It features a range of realistic details, including front and rear seating, hanging decorations, a fire extinguisher and Indian food containers on the roof pallet. Sure, the thought that it might be a tad oversized did cross my mind- but I didn’t let that stop me. To give some highlights to the scene, I used some LEDs to light up the head and taillights of the taxi and to illuminate the windows of the houses.

This is a really great set, but I think the name is weird considering that it's meant to be an Indian vehicle.All the people in the videos and comment section made it clear that 40469 was most definitely NOT minifigure scale. This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees. With India poised to be the next big toy market, this could signal the LEGO Group’s first push into a new region, similar to .

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 colour pallete used for the model is fittingly colourful and gives the whole model a positive vibe.

Therefore I was looking for some alternatives in my neighbourhood and I found some tall grass which could double for bamboo or jungle vegetation. Admittedly, most of the Tuk Tuks you’ll find shooting around the streets of India, will not look as jazzy as this one. To find the right speed for the movement without lateral movement of the plate took a couple of tries, but the result is pretty convincing. No minifigures are included in the set, but the scale is appropriate and it is built to accommodate them. The front view shows many of the colours but doesn't look like a hodgepodge, showing the care the designer took in parts usage and colour blocking.

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.There isn’t much to dislike about this vehicle, except maybe the fact that I don’t actually have a Ninjago city to put it in.
