LEGO Creator Tuk Tuk Set 40469

Product Information

This is quite consistent with my experiences in countries where I've had the opportunity to ride in a tuk tuk.

Unlike 40468 Yellow Taxi, this vehicle does look like it accommodates passengers, and is also strikingly colourful with some relatively new pieces. If you’ve already bought and built a copy of the minifigure-scale transport, you’ll know it contains a staple of LEGO sets in a fire extinguisher.

I know tuk tuks and auto rickshaws are the same vehicles, but I've never seen anyone refer to this vehicle as a tuk tuk in India. It is based on the Tuk Tuk, an iconic mode of transportation for around the streets of India, where they are the most common method of getting around.

Details abound in the model, including the fire extinguisher on the back and the lunch boxes strapped to the roof. For me the upper part of the car just looks a little too flat compared to the overall dimensions, but I don’t have a good fix for this due to the restrictions of the small scale. To give some highlights to the scene, I used some LEDs to light up the head and taillights of the taxi and to illuminate the windows of the houses. Later I watched some reviews on YouTube of the set (watching reviews of a set after I’ve already purchased it, defeats the purpose… I know). The colour pallete used for the model is fittingly colourful and gives the whole model a positive vibe.The set is based on the auto rickshaws, commonly known as Three-wheelers or tuk-tuks used in India and Sri Lanka. 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. Due to the fixture of the car it stays stationary and sharp in the photo while the wheels and the background are blurred due to the motion. I have little interest in vehicles, and so many sets come with them that I already have an abundance of cars.
