As a design icon in its own right, it’s always an extra treat when LEGO teams up with other companies holding that title. Take, for example, the classic lines of a 1960s-era Vespa 125. The plastic brick (and joy) purveyor partnered with Piaggio to create a most elegant-looking Vespa 125 kit, number 10298. Please note that it has an 18+ age rating, which in this case doesn’t mean parental discretion is advised—only that it’s probably meant more for display than for play as a rolling vehicle.
The kit is comprised of 1,106 pieces in total and includes several nice details that really put this design over the top. For a start, the iconic sky-blue color that echoes that classic vintage Vespa hue is particularly nice. As LEGO enthusiasts like the one in this video have pointed out, it’s also the same shade that LEGO used for a Fiat 500 kit it released last year. Vintage Italian vehicles did seem to be fond of this color, it’s true—but it would also work well for a vintage Triumph Tigress if LEGO ever gets ideas about that particular kit.
