Description

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. 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. 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. 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). Yeah it looks nice, but I think it looks a bit too big for the minifig scale (even though "minifig scale" is a vague and inconsistent concept).

The blend of yellows, pinks, greens and blues, along with the orange and red studs lining the roof, results in an eye-catching build.No minifigures are included in the set, but the scale is appropriate and it is built to accommodate them. 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.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. 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 . 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. I've been driven around in a colourful tuk tuk like this one in the middle of Bangkok, and i can tell those drivers hardly ever slow down! This vehicle would be perfect for a minifigure travelling photographer or to enhance a Ninjago city.With the LEGO® Creator Expert branding replaced with 18+ sub-collections, the standard Creator theme has also seen a small change. It would still look good in the background of an urban scene, even if the size limits its usefulness. 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.

Just like the 8-wide Speed Champions it would look ridiculously oversized next to typical City vehicles and buildings.

Therefore I was looking for some alternatives in my neighbourhood and I found some tall grass which could double for bamboo or jungle vegetation. 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. Although there are still Creator 3-in-1 sets, the Creator brand is being used for more generic sets. I think the reason it looks too big for "minifig scale" has a lot to do with the way minifigs themselves are articulated. All the people in the videos and comment section made it clear that 40469 was most definitely NOT minifigure scale.

It's a really minor complaint, though - I love that LEGO made an India-based set and I hope we see more in the future! 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. With or without figures the model looks pretty nice and is a good representation of this famous vehicle.

The set is based on the auto rickshaws, commonly known as Three-wheelers or tuk-tuks used in India and Sri Lanka.
