Лего фиат 500 желтый
Эта итальянская классика, машина желтого цвета, недавно была довольно комично увековечена в фильме Джеймса Бонда "Спектр" 2015 года, когда главный герой гонял на голубом Фиате 500 во время гонки в Риме. Фигура Джеймса Бонда всегда была синонимом красивых женщин и роскошных спортивных автомобилей, так что увидеть его на Fiat 500 было неожиданно и забавно.
Запуск следует за другим классическим автомобилем, LEGO Ford Mustang, выпущенным в прошлом 2019 году.
Комплект LEGO Creator Fiat 500 - это один из наборов конструктора для заядлых коллекционеров или энтузиастов, который удачно воссоздает культовый итальянский автомобиль в миниатюре.

World's No. 1 source for LEGO news, reviews, and fan creations.
A few weeks ago, LEGO announced that they were running a trial in the UK to test variants of a few popular sets, altering their sizes or colors. The flagship model of this program is an update on last year’s Creator Expert 10271 Fiat 500, which overhauls the car’s light yellow to a light blue. The new set receives a new number, and 77942 Fiat 500 is sold from now until Nov. 30 through LEGO’s website in the UK (£74.99) or through retailer Zavvi. Unlike LEGO’s UK site, Zavvi does ship outside the UK, briefly allowing fans elsewhere in the world to get the set, though the first stock of Zavvi’s sets appears to have sold out and Zavvi has taken down the listing. LEGO has said that since it’s part of a trial program, once the set is sold out, it will not be available again. Today we’re taking a brief look at how the new blue Fiat compares to the yellow version we reviewed last year.
Unboxing the Fiats
The two boxes are nearly identical, since LEGO just performed some photoshop tweaks on the yellow model to give it its new hue. Our yellow box is a North American box with English, French, and Spanish, while the blue car is the European/Rest of World box, since it’s sold exclusively in the UK. Both sets contain 960 pieces and bear a 16+ rating, since the original packaging just barely predates LEGO’s shift to its LEGO For Adults black packaging and marketing-driven 18+ age rating. This may well be the last set to ever bear the Creator Expert branding.
Likewise, the back of the box retains all the same function callouts.
One difference I did note is that the blue Fiat box has glued ends with punch-out tabs to open the box, while the yellow model has sticker seals. Our original review copy of the yellow car was also a European box and it had sticker seals as well, so that doesn’t explain the difference. Personally, though, I don’t have a preference so it’s a distinction that makes no difference.
The contents
On its face, the conversion is simple. LEGO simply swapped all the 226 Cool Yellow (AKA Bright Light Yellow) elements to 212 Light Royal Blue (AKA Bright Light Blue). The set includes a pretty broad swath of elements in the key color, with 59 distinct elements coming in either yellow or blue. Many of the Cool Yellow elements were unique to the Fiat when it dropped last year, and so too many of the Light Royal Blue elements are unique to the update, as well. Here’s a small sampling of the blue elements.
Comparing the models
The instructions for the models are identical except for color, so the design of the finished models are the same in every way. Although we didn’t mention it in our initial review, some fans reported color discrepancies in the Cool Yellow bricks on the original. The yellow version I used for comparisons here was just purchased (and so isn’t part of the original production run) but it definitely has some minor color variations. They’re small and unlikely to be noticed by a casual builder, but fans who build a lot of LEGO will notice the small discrepancies, which in some cases appear from brick to brick within the same element. Thankfully, the Light Royal Blue seems to not suffer the same fate, as the color matching is quite consistent.
Besides the primary color in the bricks, though, the rest of the differences come from the stickers. The luggage in the back gains a Union Jack sticker, since the set is a UK exclusive.
Two of the original license plates styles referenced the set’s number, 10271, so the blue Fiat’s plates have been updated to match its new set number, 77942. An easy opportunity was missed here though to include UK plates for this UK variant. The TOFO 1965 plates are identical on both sets.
Similarly, it would have been nice if LEGO could have made even more distinction by swapping the car to be a right-hand drive suitable for UK roads. However, I think it’s understandable that LEGO chose to forego that update, for two reasons. First, that would have required re-validating the instructions (a lengthy process), and second, the entire point of this update is to see if a color-swap alone can affect sales, so altering the build (even in a seemingly innocuous way) would spoil that.
One final difference is apparent in the included painting. The original showed a yellow car, so obviously LEGO updated it to blue. A few other colors in the painting are changed as well, from the shading on the Colosseum to the foreground. Interestingly, the artist’s signature was dropped from the new version.
Conclusion
Color swaps on sets have been quite rare throughout LEGO’s history, though not entirely unheard of (e.g. 2148 LEGO Truck vs. 3442 LEGOLAND California Truck). While some of us liked the Fiat’s original Cool Yellow, many of us here at TBB were never fans of that color on the car, and no doubt many other people feel the same way. So an alternate color is welcome indeed, especially when it introduces a new color for a variety of elements. However, I do have some concerns about the way LEGO is handling this.
The Fiat 500 listings on the LEGO UK website
LEGO’s reasoning for introducing this color swap is to gauge how color influences buyers. Would someone be more tempted to spend $90 on a LEGO Fiat if it were light blue instead of light yellow? It’s a great thing to test, actually. The problem is that LEGO’s UK test market doesn’t operate in a vacuum, and LEGO is one of the hottest commodities in the toy market with not just fans but very avid collectors the world over, especially for sets like the Fiat which are marketed to adults. The mere fact that this set is being produced in limited quantities makes it of greater interest to LEGO fans and collectors. The new Fiat could have been rainbow-colored, and as long as the set was perceived as “exclusive” it would draw the interest of many fans and collectors, completely spoiling the data collection of which color is more desirable to the average fan. In fact, when we spoke with LEGO last month about the program before it was publicly announced, we asked LEGO how they planned to account for scalpers and were told that beyond limiting purchases to 1 per customer on the LEGO website, they had no plans in place. Retailer Zavvi did not have even this limitation, and in fact, marketed it as a special “Limited Edition” set—giving further evidence that data gathered from this test won’t be a true representation of which color fans actually prefer.
Secondly, LEGO promised in 2019 to make all regional exclusives available worldwide, either immediately or after a period of exclusivity. However, the sets in this program are to be available in the UK for just two months, and will not be available anywhere else after that period, a direct contradiction to LEGO’s promise. LEGO will no doubt argue that because this was a marketing test it’s different, but that’s little solace to the many fans outside the UK who are unable to get the set.
To be clear, I don’t think LEGO is sneakily trying to do a regional exclusive and just pass it off as a marketing test. I think rather that it was intended to be a real marketing test, but poorly designed and poorly executed such that it is effectively a regional exclusive of a fairly desirable set. The other sets in the experiment—two color variations on a small Creator dino, and two size variations on a City fire station—are of much less interest to the adult fan community and will possibly yield more useful data to LEGO.
It’s a great set, and if I consider only the design itself, I love that LEGO has made it. I like the blue much more than the original yellow, and having both versions is perfect for an adorable little commuter like the Fiat 500. I would love to recommend this set. However, I cannot. Much like we noted a few years ago in our review of the New York Comic-Con Star Wars BrickHeadz exclusives, while LEGO certainly has the right to create rare exclusives (even if they’re ostensibly marketing experiments), they do a disservice to their own fans when they do. After all, as we said about those BrickHeadz, “the vast majority among the tens of thousands of you out there reading this review can never own this set.” And so this poorly executed marketing test only serves as a way to frustrate fans, rather than as a way to gather insight on them.
77942 Fiat 500 (blue) contains 960 pieces and is available exclusively from LEGO UK for £74.99 or from Zavvi (sold out). It may also be available at a markup from third-party resellers on eBay.
10271 Fiat 500 (yellow) also contains 960 pieces and is available from LEGO for US $89.99 | CAN $129.99 | UK £74.99. It may also be available from Amazon and eBay. Be sure to read the TBB Review of this set.
LEGO Creator Fiat 500 – самая громкая новинка марта.
В марте 2020 года компания LEGO выпустила ряд новых конструкторов и даже запустила новую серию ( DOTS) , однако самой громкой премьерой месяца стал набор LEGO Creator Fiat 500 (артикул 10271). Броский и яркий, он молниеносно притягивает к себе внимание любителей и заядлых коллекционеров.
Технические характеристики набора:
Общее количество деталей: 960 шт.
Рекомендуемая розничная цена: $89.99.
Габариты модели в собранном виде (высота/длина/ширина): 11/24/11 см.
Этот изящный итальянский автомобиль является классикой мирового автопрома. Его начали выпускать ещё в довоенные годы, а сняли с производства только в 1975 году. При этом сами итальянцы называют Fiat 500 ласковым словом «Topolino», что означает «Мики Маус».
Конечно же невозможно игнорировать внешнее сходство Fiat 500 с другим классическим малолитражным автомобилем - Volkswagen Beelte, ведь его даже сконструировали по тому же самому принципу: мотор расположен сзади.
Fiat 500 часто снимали в кино. Этот автомобиль можно увидеть даже в «Римских каникулах», там его показали во всей его красе.
Набор LEGO Creator Fiat 500 поступил в продажу 1 марта, и теперь любой желающий может приобрести этот конструктор и собрать замечательную, яркую и технически интересную модель легендарного автомобиля!
The 2020 Creator Expert car – LEGO 10271 Fiat 500 took a lot of fans by surprise. After flashy vehicles like the Mustang, DB-5, it was pleasantly surprised to see LEGO take on a diminutive Italian car.
The Creator Expert car series has been on of my favourite long-running LEGO subthemes ever since I fell in love with the Volkswagen T1 Campervan which I believe is one of the longest-running sets of all time.
When I got the offer to take this charming yellow car for a spin, I couldn’t resist, so let’s take a closer look at the LEGO Fiat 500.
Special thanks to LEGO for sending this set over for a review.
In spite of its tiny size, the Fiat 500 plays a pretty large role in the annals of automotive history – pioneering the trend of small, inexpensive European cars.
Thanks to its small footprint, it was the the perfect car for post-war Italy, to traverse the narrow cobblestone-covered laneways of the ancient country.
It’s never a good feeling to pop open a LEGO set and be greeted by the sticker sheet. Thankfully, the Fist 500 doesn’t rely too heavily on stickers for its key features.
The most prominent use of stickers is for this painting of the Fiat 500 in front of the Colosseum in Rome.
I really like the easel and paint palette included. They’re not the most elaborate builds, but like the surfboard in the Volkswagen Beetle set, it gives the Fiat 500 a sense of time and place, evoking carefree afternoons painting and taking in the sights of Rome.
Similarly, the luggage plastered with stickers of European countries speak to a well-travelled Fiat that has traversed through continental Europe.
Paired with the easel, I get the vibe that the owner of this small car enjoys taking things slow, going on weekend jaunts to see as much of Europe while taking in its beautiful sights.
Like most Creator Expert cars, you also get your pick of license plates that you can use to switch in and out. Like most LEGO license plates, there’s usually some significance to the letters and alphabets – the one that stood out to me is PN, the initials of the designer Pierre Normandin, as well as the set’s number.
The three license plate variants give you options between an Italian, Danish and German plates. The Italian plate with TOFO stands for Torino, Florence and 1965 is the year of production for this particular model.
The build was brisk, but very enjoyable and the end result is nothing short of charming.
I think LEGO have done a marvellous job with the design. The proportions and curves are excellent, and you can instantly recognise the Fiat 500’s silhouette.
Here’s how the Fiat 500 looks from the front, and I love the use of Unikitty horns to mimic the silver bars that extend from the logo.
The transparent indicators on the front feel like they should’ve been transparent orange instead of clear, but other than that, it does look pretty good.
Here’s the Fiat 500’s side profile, which gives you a better appreciation of the curves and straight lines involved. I do think the front of the car is slightly too long, and the bonnet is a bit too flat.
The Fiat 500 being a legendary Italian compact car has quite a noticeable rounded front, and it seems like the designers couldn’t quite get this to look exactly like the real thing, possibly due to limitations of bricks, or space for the wheel.
I also really like the use of the silver dish for the rims, which give it an unmistakably retro look.
The back is my favourite part of the car. The designers employed a clever mix of slopes and curved slopes to achieve its unique shape.
The gaps are very well hidden, and I really appreciate how hard is it to make it look so seamlessly curved.
Popping open the boot gives you a peek at the engine.
The doors swing open to reveal the interior, which as you can expect is very compact. The dashboard is relatively simple, with a speedometer, but I also like the large gear stick which is wedged between both seats.
I found it quite comical that the doors could swing open all the way thanks to the hinges used.
One of the defining features of the Fiat 500 is its fabric sun roof, which seamlessly well. From a visual perspective, it really ties the entire car together, and opens and closes very satisfyingly.
The end result is nothing short of charming, and for Creator Expert car aficionados, is a complete joy.
After very burly muscle cars like the Mustang, I really liked that LEGO went in the opposite direction to revisit this old Italian classic.
Here’s how the Fiat 500 compares to some of the other notable Creator Expert cars. It’s a brilliant addition to the fleet of historic cars, and makes me excited for more to come.
What I liked:
- A relatively affordable and fun build that doesn’t compromise
- Cool yellow is a fantastic colour choice
- Retro white wall tyres
- Compact size makes it very easy to display
What I didn’t like:
- Windscreen could be improved, and less angular
- Steering wheel is just cosmetic
- I wish the painting was a printed tile
Final thoughts: I had funny feelings writing this review. Prior to lockdown and Coronavirus (does anyone even remember the before times?), I had actually built and photographed this car during one of our last weekends away.
Revisiting the photos and writing the review for this car, which very clearly has “travel” baked into its identity does feel a bit strange.
The LEGO Fiat 500 does a tremendous job evoking travel, holiday and Summer vibes, which is a bit of a distant memory, but I can’t help but feel good to be reminded of it all.
While most of us are stuck at home, the LEGO Fiat 500 was a pleasant way to live vicariously through a LEGO set, and a thoroughly enjoyable build.
The curves work remarkably well on the Fiat, especially on the sides and back, however what I love most is the Cool Yellow colour selected for it.
It gives it a distinct identity and ties the entire model together.
Like the original Fiat 500, the set’s accessible price-point is one of its biggest draws. In an era with ballooning LEGO prices, the Fiat 500’s budget price tag is sorely welcome, especially since you get so much bang for your buck.
The set oozes charm, and transports you to a time and place where travel was unrestricted – which in today’s day and age, just feels priceless.
If you’re a longtime collector of Creator Expert cars, or are new to the game, I highly recommend the LEGO Fiat 500. It ticks all the right boxes, from price, design, historic relevance and makes for a cracker of a display model.
Highly recommend picking this set up if you can as it’s one of the frontrunners for best sets of 2020.
Rating: 4/5
