LEGO has released the designer video for the new LEGO Creator Fiat 500 (10271) which had probably the fastest turnaround from its official announcement to the set release. LEGO designer Pierre Normandin talks about some of the details of the iconic 1965 vehicle including the difficulties of getting the right shape for the car as well as the meaning of the stickers used.

And the over-the-top Tex Avery style cartoony visual effects by ILM were a treat. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
