"A charming, parts-rich mini companion to the full-scale Beetle, the 40252 earns a BrickScore of 75.8 and backs it up with 541 owner ratings averaging 4.5: its dark azure rarities and exclusive accessories make it worth picking up whenever it surfaces."
The Mini Volkswagen Beetle (40252) is a well-received 2017 promotional Gift with Purchase that successfully miniaturizes the iconic look of the full-scale 10252 Beetle. Expert reviewers from Brickset and JANG both recommend it, praising its rare dark azure parts, exclusive surfboard accessory, and solid construction, while noting sticker-heavy detailing and a slightly flat front end as compromises. Owner ratings back up the positive verdict: 4.5 out of 5 across 541 Amazon and LEGO ratings, with LEGO.com buyers giving a perfect 5.0 for value.

"While it's pretty near impossible to recreate all the curves of a VW Beetle on such a small scale, I think the designer has done a good job of recreating the iconic look of the Beetle."
