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

Product Information

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. Channel Islands, including Jersey and Guernsey (Sark, Alderney and Herm are an additional 1 days delivery from Guernsey) 48 Hour Dispatch Service If you’re looking for an accessible Creator Expert set that’s a lot of fun to build, and looks great on display, look no further than the Harley-Davidson.

I remember going, “wow, they actually did a Harley Davidson”, and being very impressed with it, but at the same time remained quite skeptical of it, not being a car and all, which I was used to collecting. Oh and in case you’re wondering, yes it does fit in well with the other Creator Expert vehicles, despite the scaling being a teeny bit off, haha. Oh and another fun thing about the LEGO Harley-Davidson? The Star Wars constraction figures are just the perfect size to pose with them. I don’t know what the 41 and MFG stand for, so if anyone can enlighten me in the comments, that’d be great!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. 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. Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed this review! As you can tell by all the outdoor photos, I had a blast photographing the set, and who could blame me when I have such a photogenic LEGO set to work with.

I liked the LEGO Harley-Davidson so much more than I thought I would, mostly because I am an ardent collector of Creator Expert cars and I was apprehensive about whether a motorcycle could do it for me. Also, unlike Creator Expert cars, you get to truly appreciate the “innards” of the Harley Davidson as it’s mostly exposed to the world.will go down in history as one of the years with the most surprises coming out of LEGO, and the unveiling of 10269 Harley-Davidson was certainly high on my list of things I never expected LEGO to do. Building the set was a brisk, but extremely enjoyable experience. The set isn’t the largest at 1023 pieces.

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. Final thoughts:There’s no denying that the Harley-Davidson is such a design triumph for LEGO and I enjoyed every bit of this set way more than I thought I would.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. 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.

There’s also no denying that this is an extremely stunning model to look at. The initial photos were great, but they don’t really do the set justice as many of its best features show themselves as you take time to appreciate it up close. After years of building Creator Expert cars, you kind of know what to expect, but what I enjoyed much about the Harley is how unexpected and surprising the build was. The wheels are custom-designed for the model, and the super-sized aesthetic looks particularly realistic – the threads on the tyres are great to look at.

Details

Could it be improved? Of course. As good as the design is, it’s missing all the chrome goodness that well-maintained Harleys are known for. That would be prohibitively expensive, but it’s nice to dream about an alternate model with all-chrome parts.
