LEGO Volkswagen Beetle custom trailers

A couple of years ago I discovered the website of the German LEGO fan who goes by the name CustomBricks. What initially caught my attention was their various trailer-attachments for the #10220 LEGO Creator Volkswagen T1 Camper Van, and the LEGO #10242 LEGO Creator MINI Cooper. See original article here: LEGO MINI Cooper Caravan & More! 🙂

Since then CustomBricks also added trailers for the newly released #10252 LEGO Creator Volkswagen Beetle, which are what I wanted to show you today. This includes a luggage trailer with custom printed tarpaulin, a brick-built luggage trailer, and a trailer with a Vespa scooter or boat – all in delicious dark-azure to match the Beetle.

While last time I checked the CustomBricks website, only downloadable PDF instructions were available for the custom trailers, now they also have building kits, so you can get all the LEGO elements, instructions, stickers, cloth pieces, and whatever else is needed to build the models. This is a great option if you don’t want to hunt for parts yourself, although I have to say that shipping from Germany to the USA is very expensive (other countries may vary).

However PDF instructions are still available for a very reasonable price, if you want to go the cheaper route, and you already have the pieces. The unique custom printed tarpaulins can be bought separately, and shipping on those is a lot more affordable than getting the entire kit.

Also, there are some new trailers available for the #10220 LEGO Creator Volkswagen T1 Camper Van and the LEGO #10242 LEGO Creator MINI Cooper, in case you want to check out those as well. In the video below you can see the trailers and other accessories for the VW Camper.

If you already have  any of the LEGO vehicle display models like the #10220 LEGO Creator Volkswagen T1 Camper Van, the LEGO #10242 LEGO Creator MINI Cooper, and/or the #10252 LEGO Creator Volkswagen Beetle, adding a matching trailer is a great way to expand them, and make them more unique. You can find all the various trailer options at the CustomBricks website. The ready-to-go kits are under the Custom Sets tab, the PDF instructions are under the Custom Instructions tab, and the tarpaulins can be found under the Custom Accessories tab. And the original LEGO vehicles you can find under the LEGO Creator section of the Online LEGO Shop.

LEGO Dimensions Year Two

The first trailer you will see below introduces the LEGO Dimensions Battle Arenas, which is a new feature to LEGO Dimensions that allows multiple players. The other videos in the playlist include trailers to the various new franchises that will be released soon. Enjoy!

Exciting, isn’t it? I particularly like E.T. and his cute wobbly walk. Can’t wait to get him in minifig form! And there are so many other new characters! While we are waiting for the new LEGO Dimensions Expansion Packs and gaming experience, you might want to catch up on the previous waves. The packs are available at various retailers as well as directly from LEGO: LEGO DIMENSIONS AT THE ONLINE LEGO SHOP

Shop LEGO Dimensions Fifth Wave

Amazon also got a very helpful dedicated page just for LEGO Dimensions, where you can find all versions of the Starter Pack for different gaming systems, and all the Level Packs, Team Packs and Fun Packs (add-on packs work with all systems). Amazon has many of the packs on sale, so you usually get a better deal, plus you can combine your purchase with non-LEGO items: LEGO DIMENSIONS ON AMAZON

So what do you think? How do you like the second year of LEGO Dimensions Packs? What do you think of the new franchises and game expansions? Do you play the game, or do you only collect the unique minifigs and accessories? Feel free to share your thoughts and discuss in the comment section below! 😉
