Cyber Monday Deal: 40% Off LEGO Icons Vespa 125 (10298)
The LEGO Icons Vespa 125 is a collaboration between LEGO and Vespa to produce a replica of the real-life Vespa scooters popularized in the 1960s. The finished build measures an impressive 19" long, 11" tall, and 4 inches wide. The finished model is well proportioned and looks great from all angles. Details include a front wheel mounted on one side, a removable engine cover with a brick-built engine underneath, working steering and kickstand, classic 1960s Italian license plate, helmet, and a basket with a miniature flower bouquet.
A special mention should be given to the color scheme. Not only do the primary pastel blue and secondary royal blue bricks look amazing and are a refreshing change from the grays and browns that dominate modern-day LEGOs, they are also rare coveted colors that builders are sure to want in their collection.
The build is also clean compared to other vehicle builds because LEGO uses the "SNOT" (studs not on top) technique, so the little studs on the top of the LEGO bricks are not immediately visible across most of the scooter surfaces. It lends to a cleaner, more cohesive, and overall more realistic look.
Most of the popular adult-themed LEGO sets are selling out quickly for Cyber Monday, so if you're interested in getting one of the best LEGO sets under $100, get in on this quick before it lands on the chopping black.
