I'm still in love with the Lego Volkswagen Camp Van, but my brick heart has been stolen by the new 1,077-piece Lego Mini Cooper. I'm very happy that Lego is continuing to release iconic automobiles within their Creator line. Next we need a vintage 911.

The $100 set (CA $120, AU $150, 89.99€, £74.99) is a 4 x 9 x 5-inch (11 x 25 x 14 centimeter) replica of the Mini Cooper Mk VII complete with "classic green and white color scheme with white wing mirrors and racing stripes, to the opening doors, hood and trunk, sporty fog lights, detailed engine and separate spare tire compartment. You can even remove the roof to access a tan colored interior with patterned seats, veneer-style dashboard, turning st eering wheel, and moving gearshift and handbrake."


And look at that cute picnic basket and blanket!
