About this deal

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. Just like the 8-wide Speed Champions it would look ridiculously oversized next to typical City vehicles and buildings. It would still look good in the background of an urban scene, even if the size limits its usefulness. Sure, if you want to go the passive aggressive way :) I didn't say that there were only tuk tuks, and I also mentioned that they are less common than cycle rickshaws (what you refer to "pedal-powered").

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. I don't see a lot around here but they are definitely very popular all over Europe especially in younger age groups as a cheap and fun way to get around - very touristy thing. Have fun on the bustling streets of India with this detailed and brightly colored Tuk Tuk (40469) toy car. The set is based on the auto rickshaws, commonly known as Three-wheelers or tuk-tuks used in India and Sri Lanka. All the people in the videos and comment section made it clear that 40469 was most definitely NOT minifigure scale.The colour pallete used for the model is fittingly colourful and gives the whole model a positive vibe.

This is quite consistent with my experiences in countries where I've had the opportunity to ride in a tuk tuk. I had never seen one before or heard of one until this review, but I might have to add it to my wantlist as soon as it comes available again. The only hire vehicle is in LEGO Indiana Jones 2 game in Bangkok, but this simple brown and green vehicle from 2009 never appeared in any sets or films. One of which is the Tuk Tuk, these iconic modes of transport whizz around the streets of India, where they are the most common method of getting around.LEGO, the LEGO logo, the Minifigure, and the Brick and Knob configurations are trademarks of the LEGO Group of Companies. Due to the fixture of the car it stays stationary and sharp in the photo while the wheels and the background are blurred due to the motion. With a small dedicated team of LEGO fans serving your needs, we're sure you wont find a better or more friendly service anywhere else online.

The Tuk Tuk is an odd little vehicle, there have been a couple of LEGO versions appear in a couple of sets, namely from Monkie Kid and The LEGO NINJAGO Movie themes. The build is very solid (except maybe for the side mirrors) and a very good play model for younger builders. It features a host of realistic details including front and back seats, hanging decorations, a fire extinguisher and Indian-style lunchboxes in a pallet on the roof, so kids have all they need to create fantastic stories. Details abound in the model, including the fire extinguisher on the back and the lunch boxes strapped to the roof.
