we are building the lego vespa 125 set today. this set is released in 2022,
inspired by the vintage 1960s vespa. made up with 1107 pieces and no minifigures. this one
is retailed at 170 australian dollars. i think pretty expensive given the amount of pieces. i
have built a Loz scooter a while ago, and that was a total disaster. i believe that's actually fallen
into pieces somewhere in my house and i've pretty much given up on that model. i do have more faith
in the lego version though, i'm sure it's going to be more stable and not fall apart too quickly.

let's now open the box and see what it looks like inside. this set has nine bags of bricks separated
into six building stages. including one bag of wheels and tyres, one instructions book and one
sticker sheet. 1106 pieces is a pretty big set so i will be presenting the speed build part of
the video in stop motion mode. after that we can have a look at the details together. let's build.
this is our completed lego vespa 125 set. aesthetically this is incredible .it's a beautiful
royal blue and we have lots of nice angles and curves on the whole build. like the nice curve
here, where the foot rest is, the rounded engine and the angle that the handles sit in. there's
also a little bonus build on the side, which is a very vintage looking helmet, goes very well
with the vintage looking vespa. there is a goggle attached to the helmet, and also we have this chin
strap, both in the brown giving it that vintage leather look. now the main body of our vespa.
we've got a few stickers used in this build, and they're all relatively large sticker sheets.
such as this logo at the front, it's a whole big sticker sheet covering most of that tile.
i think the color of the sticker is relatively close to the royal blue brick in the background,
from where i'm standing now, a bit of a distance, a 15 centimeter distance. i can't really tell
it's a sticker unless i look at it closely. this pattern is also a sticker, and the vespa
logo is also a sticker. this should be where the petrol tank is, that's also a large sticker sheet
covering the whole tile. a couple more stickers here, so quite a few stickers used in this set.
on this side, we can also see the number plate sticker and also the engine of the vespa, which
is also a sticker. you can see a bit of a build of the engine here at the bottom, kind of merges into
this sticker pattern, with a kickstarter paddle that's kind of adjustable. the color used here are
quite consistent, we've got the royal blue, a light gray and a navy blue. that's pretty much
the main color components. i think very tasteful and clean looking color combo here. it's a pretty
simple build, we've got the driver and passenger seats on the top, and the spare tire here.
a little bit of a detail here you can see a puddle here and also these grids on the footrest that
adds some friction for the feet. there's a rack at the bottom where the vespa can display on.
and they've used two rubber pieces on the foot, that's a pretty good design, adds more friction
and making the stand more stable. at the front we've got this very metallic looking mechanism
near the front wheel. stacked up by metallic silver round studs. works very well here. and a
very nice looking handle with a big round vintage looking headlight, the hand brakes on both sides,
and it's sitting on a nice angle made up with these cones.. very interestingly structured.
this is the main moving part of this build, twisting the handle also at the same time
controls the front wheel. kind of an interesting piece here between the two handles, this is what i
normally see used as a bin, but upside down. boxy looking brick piece fits just right between the
two handles. one of the highlights of this build is this amazing looking wheel and tyre piece. i
think they're both relatively new pieces. the tyre is very thin and soft and the pattern on the tyre
is i think quite realistic looking. and actually a dual molded wheel piece with grey
and white. on the back of the vespa we've got a very vintage looking crate and a bunch of flowers.
i think that's something quite necessary to go with the vespa. the flower bunch is very pretty,
we've got a pretty little yellow flower bunch with the yellow flower pieces in the middle and
also another outer layer which looks like yellow cracked egg pieces. but works really well here.
there you go our lego vespa set. the building is actually relatively straightforward,
nothing too challenging at all. but it definitely looks really good. a very nice display item,
and so far definitely a lot more stable than my loz scooter set. i think i'll
be displaying it next to my vintage lego typewriter as part of my vintage collection.
