Harley's Fat Boy joins Lego creator expert collection (with video)

Lego is a Danish toy-production company based in Billund. It is best known for the manufacture of Lego-brand toys, consisting mostly of interlocking plastic bricks.
The two companies said in a joint statement that the Lego version of the Fat Boy features an astounding 1,023 pieces. The finishes, surfaces and design elements have been crafted to replicate the full-size version.
There are also some movable parts, for example: spin the rear wheel and the Milwaukee-Eight engine springs to life with moving pistons. Other movables include the handlebar, gearshift and brake levers, as well as kickstand.
“The authenticity of the Harley-Davidson design comes by sweating the details from start to finish.” said Brad Richards, vice president of Styling & Design, Harley-Davidson. “We looked at every nut and bolt on the bike, all the finishes, and every small detail”.
The Lego creator expert Harley-Davidson Fat Boy is available directly from Lego stores and shop.LEGO.com, exclusively for Lego VIP members, beginning July 17 while sales to the general public will start on August 1.
