Sure, the thought that it might be a tad oversized did cross my mind- but I didn’t let that stop me.

I know tuk tuks and auto rickshaws are the same vehicles, but I've never seen anyone refer to this vehicle as a tuk tuk in India. Similar to the mini LEGO London Bus, there are a couple of new sets based on regional transportation. Yeah it looks nice, but I think it looks a bit too big for the minifig scale (even though "minifig scale" is a vague and inconsistent concept). Kids will enjoy creating fun adventures with this colorful LEGO® Creator Tuk Tuk buildable car, featuring front and back seats, hanging decorations and Indian-style lunchboxes in a pallet on the roof.More minifig-scaled versions of this type of vehicle have been depicted in the Lego Ninjago Movie and Monkie Kid themes, and while those have their own appeal, the almost square side profile does get a bit lost in translation.

Admittedly, most of the Tuk Tuks you’ll find shooting around the streets of India, will not look as jazzy as this one.

I think it's a great model of a Tuk Tuk, but I think it would be better as a smaller vehicle for minifigures, maybe with a little market stall or street scene. Some of you may know me from other LEGO sites so you'll know I have a good experience of the LEGO community and a deep, passionate commitment to all things LEGO. All the people in the videos and comment section made it clear that 40469 was most definitely NOT minifigure scale.
