LEGO recently started producing a 1962 Volkswagen Bus. Naturally, being an air-cooled fanatic I put one on order as soon as the order from on the LEGO website became available.

There were 1,332 pieces in the box and TWO manual BOOKS.

It took about 6 hours to build, but the resulting bus is astounding. The detail on this model is amazing. The inside has a bench seat that folds to a bed, a lava lamp, icebox, sink and even plaid curtains.

And there were only a couple extra pieces 😀
