Harley-Davidson releases new Fat Boy – in LEGO
LEGO Harley-Davidson Fat Boy kit to go on sale globally from August…Have you always hankered for a Harley-Davidson Fat Boy but the bank manager didn't quite share your enthusiasm? LEGO will soon be here to help – by releasing a new Harley-Davidson Fat Boy LEGO model.
LEGO has teamed up with Harley-Davidson to produce a Harley-Davidson Fat Boy Creator Expert model – a LEGO-brick homage to the iconic Harley, faithfully recreated in 1023 pieces and complete with solid disc wheels, teardrop fuel tank, integrated speedo and dual exhaust pipes.
Not only will the model be significantly cheaper to buy, it'll also be easier to store, measuring 20cm high, 18cm wide and 33cm long. You could probably even sneak it into the shed without your partner noticing…
The model features several moving parts: spin the rear tyre to see the pistons move in the Milwaukee-Eight engine; turn the handlebar; move the gearshift and brake levers; and fold down the sidestand.
The bike comes with official Harley-Davidson logos in a dark red/black colour scheme reminiscent of the real Fat Boy's Wicked Red hue.

The LEGO Creator Expert Harley-Davidson Fat Boy model is priced at A$159.99 and will be available directly from LEGO Certified Stores (Dreamworld Gold Coast; Bondi Junction Sydney) and the LEGOLAND Discovery Centre in Melbourne from August 1, 2019.
Alternatively, LEGO VIP members will be able to order the kit online from shop.LEGO.com from July 17.
