I got very lucky with some gaps in the clouds and a little sunshine, I tried to use some backlight to let it shine through the open spaces of the vehicle and make the photos interesting. 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.

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. With or without figures the model looks pretty nice and is a good representation of this famous vehicle.

It is not only a first model of this vehicle, but also the scale is slightly bigger than minifig scale. But this version is something different, for one it’s not Minifigure scale, it’s also a little more detailed than those featured as part of other sets.This is a beautiful representation of a TukTuk, with some lovely decorative detail that sets it apart from anything I'd have scratch built, and to the amused delight of a younger family member, is exactly the right scale for Lego Friends minifigs to use. This is quite consistent with my experiences in countries where I've had the opportunity to ride in a tuk tuk. It won't exactly fit with my current display but I'm thinking of making it a street food vendor to join my food truck collection on display as a street food festival (I'm sure I've seen a tuk tuk or rickshaw used for this purpose here in the UK). Otoh, a friend of ours from Liverpool has told us many colorful stories about the adventures he has had while riding in Tuk Tuks in Thailand and Malaysia over the years.

This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees. Really fun to make and has song lovely details, like the pink seats and the tassels dangling from the roof. 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. 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.As you can see from the pictures, I’ve been having lots of fun with my not-minifigure-scale Tuk Tuk that can fit minifigures in my city. All you have to do is remove the clear canopy piece and add a minifigure head with a pilot helmet and goggles and voila – you no longer just have a Technic set, but a Technic set that can work with minifigures! Therefore I was looking for some alternatives in my neighbourhood and I found some tall grass which could double for bamboo or jungle vegetation. All the people in the videos and comment section made it clear that 40469 was most definitely NOT minifigure scale.

This set does not come with any minifigures, and is actually smaller in scale than the usual vehicle size. The build is very solid (except maybe for the side mirrors) and a very good play model for younger builders. The things you see in London are pedal-powered, and a tuk tuk by definition is motorised - the name is imitative of the sound the engine makes. I fixed the car with some long plates to a weighted brick as anchor and after finding the right angle taped some plates on the table as guide rails. Lots of eye-catching colours are used in this build, which captures the essence of the tuk tuk, while also giving a sense of fun of what riding in one is like.Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. 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. Details abound in the model, including the fire extinguisher on the back and the lunch boxes strapped to the roof.

I love that you can put minifigures in, though they will tend to slide off the passenger seat if it's moved around a bit, and the driver fits quite snugly. Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable). While no minifigures are included with the set, any minifigures you already own can fit inside the tuk-tuk, and there is room inside for one driver and two passengers.
