Gift-with-purchase for 21359 Italian Riviera revealed!
Posted by CapnRex101,
The gift-with-purchase designed to accompany 21359 Italian Riviera has been announced as 5009422 Italian Market Van, contrary to the original press release, which mentioned a 'Mediterranean Scene'.
This set contains 142 parts and will be available with the purchase of 21359 Italian Riviera from the 7th of August.

It looks like this Italian job is going to be a box of fish smash.
I regret nothing.
I like it, would buy it if they let me, but now much rather lookup the pieces and build it from what I already have. If they want to make me buy a €280 at RRP, they'll have to do a LOT better than this.
But hey, why not a much bigger version of this, one that scales nicely with the Vespa? I'd buy that....
Low on fish.
That's adorable.
But, is it enough to make me buy on D1?
Looks nice! Dunno if I'm getting the Riviera day one (soundwave's my go-to for this month lol) but thankfully nothing in the build looks exclusive to this, will prolly end up bricklinking the individual pieces to build it later down the line instead.
Not bad, not too great but not bad...
Nice, an „Ape“ (bee), commercial version of the „Vespa“ (wasp).
I think I will build it from my own parts.
Very nice looking GWP but 142 pieces is a bit feeble if linked exclusively to 21359 Italian Riviera. It will need 1 or 2 more GWPs to encourage me!
The Endurance was how it should be done... An excellent exclusive GWP plus 2 great non exclusive GWPs!
Phew! Not tempted to get it day 1 now.
It seems like something they scrambled to come up with at the last minute because they thought the set needed a gwp. It looks cheap and not much thought put into it.
It doesn't and this is not going to encourage me to get it on launch day.
This one looks much better: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.php?f=78470
The scale is way off.
Hmmm, a neat set.
Is there enough room in 21359 Italian Riviera to place it?
Should have been red, white and blue Mini Coopers!
I can only assume that it parks somewhere near 21359, and then people walk to it, because I don't see anywhere on the actual set that this thing will fit, unless it can drive on water. I mean, yes, Lego vehicles are perfectly capable of driving on Lego water, but if you're going to go for that boring "realism" thing...
By the way... Is that supposed to be a lemon tree?
You're ridiculous, TLG.
Are you serious with that plain torso? You can't be any more blatant than that, pfff.

I don't think there is... Also, the van driver has the exact same minifig head than the fisherman. So, I guess they're brothers? Of all the head prints they could've chosen, it feels like there were better choices than to reuse the 'Santa' head for both the main set and the GWP, especially give it has already been used so many times prior.

I wonder how, I wonder why...
Oh wow, https://brickset.com/minifigs/pln149/ from my childhood 4150 got old since he was last in a Lego set!
At least I assume it's the same guy; torso's the same, and I guess he's closer to the front of my mind after his twin sister who dresses the same was random minifigure of the day fairly recently. Either that, or this is their dad, and wearing the same shirt is a family trend...
5009157 and 30701 are available as GWP at the moment, both limited to specific set purchases
76026 has a better version
That cannot in any way interact with the set they're forcing it to pair with.

And the superior banana overalls.
What's in the back of the Market Van? Leftover bricks from other sets?
"contrary to the original press release"
I guess they realized that another Fell Beast really felt out of place in a “Mediterranean Scene” and had to pivot.

Speaking of which, @CapnRex101, there’s not going to be a GWP tied to Soundwave, is there? I hope not. I don’t want to have to buy him on launch day, and I really don’t want to have to buy the GWP on the $€¢ondar¥ market.
@HugeYellowBrick:
Sure. There’s lots of (pretend) water in front of the base.
I think the GWP is a reference to the lemon-growing tradition in Liguria (Monterosso al Mare in particular). The famous poet Eugenio Montale even wrote a poem (“I Limoni”) about them.

...and here I thought it was a reference to the Peter, Paul and Mary song 'Lemon Tree'!
;-P

I'm going to have to remember that one.

Friends also did a very nice Ape-alike recently: 42606
A bit more reasonably sized too.

I mean, if ever it would be appropriate, it would be the Fell Beast and anything they pair with Soundwave. Fell Beast because you need at least eight of that version, and Soundwave because you know the only logical choice would be more cassettes, and nobody who’s buying Soundwave for the model is going to look at, say, Buzzsaw, and say, “Nah, I don’t really need that extra model.”
Considering it's an Italian van, I'm gonna guess this guy's name is Jordan...
At most, three people will get this reference...
That won't make me buy the set. The proportions look wrong; too tall, wheels too small. And then there's that dark grey plate sticking out at the front.
This is a very bad vehicle. 60326 Picnic in the Park has a far better scaled three-wheeled light commercial vehicle.
The Ape apes the man. Speaking of the minifig. Looks like he went to Starbucks before coming to the charming seaside village and paying extra to sit at a cafe.
Very Italian! Will fit well with the Riviera.
I'm still not sold on this set (Riviera). It looks charming, and I like the colors, but t also seems so simple. And the fan design was just so much better! The two of side by side make it clear what a huge downgrade it was.

I dunno...

With it, yes. On it, no.
Ugly truck, plain minifig, not a great GWP.

There's plenty of room to park it on the various roofs.
I'm not buying the Italian Riviera set, but I'll definitely try to replicate the lemon tree from the Market Van for my MOCs.

Iced limoncello spritz. Nothing better on a hot Rivera afternoon!
It looks terrible.
