LEGO Creator 10269 Harley Davidson Fatboy Expert Series(10269), for 16 years to 99 years

Product Information

I’m not particularly knowledgeable about Harleys, but one of the smalls bits of trivia I know is that they use drive belts instead of chains. This model here uses LEGO chains for the engine to function, but I feel like this fact might bother hardcore Harley fans. Turns out the answer is yes when LEGO are capable of putting out such an amazing Creator Expert model, at quite an affordable price. The offer only applies to Eligible Motorcycles submitted for trade-in on a new, unregistered Eligible Trade-Up Motorcycle of greater value and not the same model. Offer is limited to one claim per eligible VIN. Offer is limited to one claim per customer. Here’s a closer look at the iconic printed Harley Davidson logo, which is placed on the fuel tank – it’s one of the other parts of the bike that the designers managed to replicate so particularly well. Looking at the four numbered bags that popped out the box, I could immediately tell that it wasn’t going to be a substantial set.

I was engaged throughout the build, and it kept me guessing all the way, as to how the Harley would take shape, and it’s the most fun I’ve had building a LEGO set in awhile.

Shop now.

I also really like the elegance and restraint shown when it comes to the details – it’s a “less is more” approach, without over-greebling, allowing the core parts to truly shine.

From the very first bag, the build was enjoyable from start to finish, even for a LEGO veteran like myself. The novelty of the build, which did an amazing job blending regular LEGO elements with Technic was such a breath of fresh air. I was also very impressed by the twin exhausts, and the angles in which they connect to the engine looks very well-proportionate and believable to me. The build and design proves that LEGO still can innovate and flex their design prowess, taking on a shape as challenging as a Harley Davidson and nailing the design so faithfully.Again, I have to commend Mike Psiaki and his team for actually pulling this set off, and using what is mostly conventional LEGO elements (as opposed to Technic) to mimic the Harley’s shape so well. Every year, we’ve come to a Creator Expert vehicle from LEGO, and the Ford Mustang from early in the year did more than satisfy fans, but LEGO were not content and dropped the very first Creator Expert Motorcycle in the second half of 2019. Also, unlike Creator Expert cars, you get to truly appreciate the “innards” of the Harley Davidson as it’s mostly exposed to the world. Despite not being a Harley-Davidson or even a motorbike fan, I could still appreciate this set for what it is – an exhilarating all-round LEGO experience. I don’t know what the 41 and MFG stand for, so if anyone can enlighten me in the comments, that’d be great!
