LEGO Creator 10269 Harley Davidson Fatboy Expert Series(10269), for 16 years to 99 years

Product Information

I don’t know what the 41 and MFG stand for, so if anyone can enlighten me in the comments, that’d be great! I remember going, “wow, they actually did a Harley Davidson”, and being very impressed with it, but at the same time remained quite skeptical of it, not being a car and all, which I was used to collecting. Here’s a closer look at the iconic printed Harley Davidson logo, which is placed on the fuel tank – it’s one of the other parts of the bike that the designers managed to replicate so particularly well. From the very first bag, the build was enjoyable from start to finish, even for a LEGO veteran like myself. The novelty of the build, which did an amazing job blending regular LEGO elements with Technic was such a breath of fresh air.

Looking at the four numbered bags that popped out the box, I could immediately tell that it wasn’t going to be a substantial set.

Could it be improved? Of course. As good as the design is, it’s missing all the chrome goodness that well-maintained Harleys are known for. That would be prohibitively expensive, but it’s nice to dream about an alternate model with all-chrome parts. Also, unlike Creator Expert cars, you get to truly appreciate the “innards” of the Harley Davidson as it’s mostly exposed to the world.

Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed this review! As you can tell by all the outdoor photos, I had a blast photographing the set, and who could blame me when I have such a photogenic LEGO set to work with. Turns out the answer is yes when LEGO are capable of putting out such an amazing Creator Expert model, at quite an affordable price. If you’re looking for an accessible Creator Expert set that’s a lot of fun to build, and looks great on display, look no further than the Harley-Davidson. Oh and in case you’re wondering, yes it does fit in well with the other Creator Expert vehicles, despite the scaling being a teeny bit off, haha.If you own the LEGO Harley-Davidson and have yours built, I’d love to know what you like most about the set in the comments. After years of building Creator Expert cars, you kind of know what to expect, but what I enjoyed much about the Harley is how unexpected and surprising the build was. Despite not being a Harley-Davidson or even a motorbike fan, I could still appreciate this set for what it is – an exhilarating all-round LEGO experience. Like most LEGO sets worth their salt – the devil is in the details, and I loved how well the designers captured the Harley’s V-Twin engines, as well as the clever use of a grey gearpiece for the air filter. I’m not particularly knowledgeable about Harleys, but one of the smalls bits of trivia I know is that they use drive belts instead of chains. This model here uses LEGO chains for the engine to function, but I feel like this fact might bother hardcore Harley fans.
