The original Create Advanced Models theme released two vehicle sets, both a version of a Volkswagen, first, the 10187 Volkswagen Beetle and then followed by the 10220 Volkswagen T1 Camper Van in 2011. Later, LEGO transformed the theme into Creator Experts with additional vehicle sets including a remakes of both Volkswagen sets.
Advanced Models, also known as Creator containes sets focused on the creative construction of LEGO System parts as opposed to playability functions of minifigures, alothough many sets do contain minifigures. These sets include buildings, trains, vehicles and other complex contruction sets. The Advanced Models/Creator sets initially began in 2000 and was a replacement for the LEGO Designer theme.
