LEGO set 40252, “Mini VW Beetle”, depicts a compact Volkswagen Beetle in the Creator theme. Released in 2017, it contains 141 pieces and does not include any minifigures.

Set 40252, “Mini VW Beetle”, translates the Volkswagen Beetle into a small Creator model. It is not presented as a minifigure scale car, but as a compact interpretation focused on the recognizable shape of the vehicle. Within the Creator theme, it fits the line’s broad approach to building familiar subjects with straightforward brick construction.

The known contents are 141 pieces and no minifigures. The build therefore centers on the miniature bodywork, proportions and visible exterior details that identify the subject as a Beetle. With no confirmed information here about special functions, it is best described as a static small vehicle model, intended for assembling the car itself rather than staging character based play.

The set is suited to LEGO vehicle collectors, Creator theme followers and builders who want a compact display piece. Compared with larger car models, its role is more concise: it captures a known vehicle in a small format with a limited parts count. In a collection, it sits naturally alongside other small vehicles or Creator models based on recognizable everyday subjects.
