The LEGO Mini Cooper is an even more compact version of the iconic car, now perfectly sized to help a family of Minifigs get around. The green LEGO car is built to look just like a MINI Cooper Mark VII, similar to the classic Volkswagen T1 Camper Van that LEGO introduced back in 2011. Many fans have been asking for a LEGO version of the Mini Cooper to be produced and now their prayers have been answered.
The stylish toy block car is packed with tons of cute details like a spare tire, a picnic blanket and basket, a fully functional trunk and a brick recreation of the car's engine. The LEGO Mini Cooper set contains 1,077 pieces and will be available in August for $99.99.
