redghostx Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 I owned the 10187 and one of the reasons I sold it is because it doesn't look as clean as the newer models. I am looking forward to an updated beetle for the collection, especially if the proportions are the same as the recent releases (plus that won't impact the 10187 as much for people that still have them, if anyone) 1 Quote
Val-E Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 A few other sites have picked up this ball too. I´d guess we´d be looking at the origina version with 500 or so less parts and on a smaller scale than 10187. Quote

HandyHand Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 Apparently the source for the 10252 Volkswagen Beetle was CM4Sci, and he says afterwards it was an April Fool's Day joke. 1 Quote

The joke is in quotation marks, I think that it is legit. Brickset wouldn't update the page for 10252 because some guy posted on Eurobricks. Quote

Time to sell my 5 10187's Quote

Quacs Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 I may be being naive, but I don't think the new Beetle will be a lot like the old. I'm guessing it will have a different color scheme and be a bit smaller. If Brickset's page/information is accurate, the $99.99 MSRP will be a model on the scale of the Ferrari F40, not 10187. It will also likely be much "smoother". That said, I'm looking forward to seeing this come out. Quote

Pomodoro Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) The store calendar for June is online, there's an early access to a new exclusive from June 15 to June 30: http://cache.lego.com/r/stores/-/media/brand%20retail/stores/calendar/june/6209-jun16-cal_medres.pdf It might very well be this set, although it was originally reported that it would be on early access in July with a general release in August. Or it's just Big Ben. Edited April 28, 2016 by Pomodoro Quote

I asked him the current ETA on the 2016 exclusives and he said : 21128 - June 10253 - July 10252 - August 71040 - September 75159/10254 - October Edited April 28, 2016 by Pomodoro 1 Quote
Val-E Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 No way DS in October, they would miss Force Friday. Quote
