Vespa Reviews
Brick Fanatics
“LEGO Creator 40517 Vespa delivers a more accessible and affordable version of 10298 Vespa 125, proving that great things really do come in small packages. 40517 Vespa is an interesting entry as it acts as a companion piece to the much larger 10298 Vespa 125. It’s not often... More that the same subject matter is released in two different sets at the same time, so fans of the Italian motoring icon will no doubt be thrilled.”
The Brothers Brick
“If you’re looking for a budget version of the 10298 Creator Expert Vespa 125, you’re going to be pretty happy with the Creator 40517 version. This updated Vespa stands out with its bright color scheme, realistic detailing, and reasonable sticker usage. The minor downside is... More that this is more of a display piece than a playable vehicle, as the scale doesn’t match up well with any current minifigure offering. But if you’re looking for a cute little dust catcher with a lot of character, pick this one up.”
