Classic Beetle LEGO set revealed at Frechen [News]
Joachim S. Müller attended the big LEGO event in Frechen, Germany and has posted over a hundred photos on Flickr.
Last year’s show yielded the first photos of the upcoming Classic Beetle set, so it’s fitting that the final version would be shown this year:
Lookin’ good!

A comment on one of the fotos says that this thing will be in stores for 120 €…which would be around 175 $,at least right now,in my opinion far too much.

Euros and dollars don’t work like that in the LEGO universe.
You can almost just change the Euro sign to a $. This year the advent calendar was $25(USD) and 20 Euros. So I would guess if it were to be 120 Euros that it would be about $130.
And I don’t know if it’s dust, but some of the dark blue colors don’t match and that drives me crazy.

No, it was not dusty. You should have a look at the picture at flickr (just klick on it) and then view in original size (clicking through the menu directly above the picture in flickr).
I added sharpness, because that shows the form od the LEGO-Parts better, but that increases noise, maybe that is what could be mistaken as dust.
Thank you for featuring my pictures!

I think this model has been rushed, the sculpting of the shape is all wrong and The seats look really bad…..too basic. I like the colour scheme but I will only be buying this for the bricks…………….very disappointing. I could go on slagging this model off but I would be here all day.:0(

[...] It would seem the fraternal building team known as Arvo wanted to beat The LEGO Company to the punch. [...]
