LEGO set 10187, Volkswagen Beetle, represents a buildable Volkswagen Beetle in the Creator theme, within the Creator Expert line.
It presents a LEGO interpretation of the Volkswagen Beetle, with attention directed toward the bodywork, proportions and overall look of the vehicle rather than a character based scene.
The building experience is therefore focused on the vehicle itself. The model uses LEGO elements to create a recognizable silhouette, rounded surfaces and automotive details integrated into the construction.
This set is aimed mainly at builders interested in Creator Expert vehicles, display models and LEGO car collecting.
