One fan’s incredible effort in recreating the Mk I VW Golf GTI in brick form could result in LEGO offering the kit to customers.
Although there’s still a ways to go until you see this kit on shelves, the almost 6000-strong support base that’s fast growing may just push it through.
Even the interior is surprisingly detailed, utilizing stickers and unconventional blocks to nail the wheel, cockpit and handbrake just to name a few.
According to the creator, the GTI uses 1278 parts and pictures show the Volkswagen is on a similar scale to the existing 1167-piece VW Beetle.
Starting with submission, supporter gathering, and culminating in a review and eventual release, this process has put out many successful fan made kits and supported the creators with nice royalty fees.
With votes pouring in every day, it’s looking like this definitive hot hatch may yet have its day in LEGO history.
