    Lego have produced another classic model. This is aimed at adults not children and is quite fiddly. Requires patience but is well worth the effort when finished. It is worth the cost when you see how much work has gone into creating this set.

    I have build all the big cars… Lambo, Bugatti, Porsche, & the Ferrari..

    This was one of my favourite builds of all and at under 90 it was a bargain… if you love lego buy it!

    I had one lego piece missing from the side ladder but was replaced free of charge from the lego website and arrived in a few days.

    Superb Lego Build... Buy it you won't regret it!

    The Lego Landrover Defener is a great set. Lots of features and great looks. It is so good that I bought two just so that I could build an alternative model without having to dismantle the original. I had over nine hours of fun building the Defender and just over seven hours to build the alternative. I couldn’t recommend Lego highly enough for any age group.

    Lego is fantastic!

    During the pandemic, I’ve found myself less and less interested in the standard evening things like TV and PlayStation. I go out on my bike a lot and go for walks and so on, but I was looking for something that would be stimulating, would help pass the time, and would be therapeutic in a way.

    This kit is awesome! It’s complex enough that you have to concentrate to avoid going back and checking what you’ve done every 10 minutes, but not so much that it feels like a chore. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The manual is easy enough to follow and the end result looks incredible. Go buy it!

    TIP: I took the advice of a guy on YouTube and purchased a set of coloured plastic bowls on here from Ikea – it meant I could separate out the components from the manual for Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, etc., and work on them a bit at a time. Really cool idea!

    This was an extra special surprise gift for our 14 yo boy. It comes in a huge box, highly impressive, over 2,000 pieces and took him 9-10 days of 2 hour sessions, so approx 20 hours build time.
    Looks impressive at all stages of the build and nearly as tough as the original defender it’s modelled against.
    Over a foot long and 8 inches high when finished.

  33. Emily Ferron says:

     United Kingdom

    Truly remarkable model and, for the complexity and number of pieces, good value too. Not an easy build in that some smaller gears are harder to identify – err towards the smallest gear when putting the gearbox and transfer case together.

    Deeply impressive transmission system wrapped in a good likeness of a new Defender. Clever assembly system does allow you to build it and remove the panels later to review the mechanism and suspension.

    Actually easy to push around and “drive” so younger kids can explore it even if the build is considered beyond their skills. It’s Lego – what kids might find hard is the time and patience needed.

    Mine was missing four pieces – so one mirror can’t be fitted yet and the bonnet has a black bit instead of green. But it’s Lego and a Land Rover. I’m calling it character until I get the missing bits.

    Hefty and just really impressive when built, if you choose just one lego Technic car to make this year, make it this one.

    Absolutely brillia

    As a fairly new Lego builder this was something else. I thought I might build it in a week – no chance.

    You really need a system in place to build these things, or be prepared to order new parts when they go missing.

    The gears were a little bit notchy at first but when everything was in place I gave it a light coating of lube and everything is good.

    This is an incredible piece of kit. The detail, the gears, the design is just amazing. There hasn’t been a single part that I have put together where I haven’t sat back and gone “Oh wow, that is clever!” One warning, of a sort, it isn’t a quick build. I think I spent nearly 12 hours on it all in but the process is hugely enjoyable. It’s big too.

    This is an impressive kit, the attention to detail is astonishing. It all reflects quite accurately how it works in real life (with some simplifications of course) but the steering, the transmission, the 6 cylinder engine (with moving pistons) are really a delight to put together and watch them working. It was really fun to assemble and I have it as a display piece now. It was assembled in a weekend, so considering the price it doesn’t guarantee too many hours of entertainment, but I guess the price includes the design (which is definitely impressive) and the resulting piece. Great gift for Lego lovers.

    Great set! A complicated build which needs regular checking throughout, to ensure all the mechanisms are running correctly and smoothly.
    Most of the complicated engineering is hidden once built sadly (a bit like the GT3RS set) but it’s fantastic all the same.

    Before getting my hands on this set i was thinking it’s a bit expensive for Lego. When it arrived and realised how big it was and how many parts were involved i completely changed my mind. I have not finished putting it together but i am really enjoying the process and there is no rush to complete it. I am now thinking i would like more Lego Technic like this and will keep an eye out for future models to build. Further to this i would also say that while putting it together i have actually gained an appreciation for how well it is designed.

    Golden Review Award: 7 From Our UsersI have a bunch of Technic Lego sets, everything from quite small to some 2,000+ pieces sets. Each new generation of Technic seems to improve. This is the best set I have in terms of build, features and aesthetics. It comes with a single instruction booklet but its a big one with almost 1,000 steps but the steps are broken down really nicely with some pages being just a couple of parts. The 15 odd bags of parts are also broken down into 4 major steps so that you don’t have to open everything at once. They’ve also mixed up the build so that you don’t end up building the same thing twice straight after each other, which is a pet hate of mine. There are a lot of features in this but highlights are; GREAT suspension, winch, all doors opening, great interior detail and the EPIC gearbox. The gearbox is both a highlight and a lowlight. On the one side it makes for a very challenging and mechanically interesting build, but at the same time its quite hard to push the model around the floor and really see what the gearbox is doing…..to really test it, you end up flipping it on its side and spinning the wheels by hand to watch what is going on. It’s a very well designed model with no corners cut and ends up being a very sturdy model that you could happily give to an older child to play with, without too much worry about it getting broken. In my case, its now sat on a display shelf and looks superb (alongside the Ducati Corse motorbike, which is another fantastic looking model). In fact, the body is so well put together that at first glance it looks more like a plastic model than a piece of Lego. I didn’t rush my build and I think I got a good 10 hours of fun build time, which is a good amount.

    Totally recommended.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI thought long and hard about buying this because of the price. I am now really pleased I treated myself to it. I am very impressed with the detail. As I am petrol head. I would recommend any one to buy it. The engine parts are fiddly by good. I found them fiddly because I have got dumpy fingers and got no fingernails.

    My only moan is: Why in the photographs released by Lego always show men building the cars? I have built the Aston Martin DB5, Ford Mustang, London Bus, Audi Quatro and the Ducati, all have men building them… 😉 Women own these items too.

    I am relatively new to technical Lego, however for me it has been a real benefit during lockdown.

    I thought this was quite expensive but decided to buy it as it’s a collectors item. I realised that the expense is due to the R and D for this as it’s very involved but enjoyable to build. I think perhaps it may be a more pleasing model if it didn’t have so much attention given to it having low and high ratios and all of the gear systems, and had included a motor with the smart phone control system instead. In practice, after it’s built you don’t tend to work the gear systems as you would have to be physically pushing it around!. Nevertheless, a pleasing model to make and worth hanging onto for a while as it may go up in value!

    Wow! This kit has four sections split between lots of numbered bags! It comes with a huge book to help put everything together. It took about 10 hours to produce a fantastic vehicle with doors and bonnet that open. Roof cases which open. There is a winch at the front that works! It really is a great looking land rover! It is easier to spend s bit of time sorting the parts into colours per section.

    I haven’t make a lego kit for many decades (since I was ten). This was brilliant. I bought it because I am thinking of buying the real car. Lego is such a great quality product. All the part fit perfectly. There is a great video on YouTube of the guy who designed it at Lego. A huge amount thinking has gone into designing this build, with all the gears working. You have to really concentrate at every stage. One misplaced component and you will find yourself having to dismantle a things a whole lot later to fix a previous small mistake. But that is the challenge of it. The end product looks great and got lots of admiring comments from friends I didn’t think would be remotely interested in such a thing. Very satisfying. I bought a light kit to go with it, that made it even better.

    Purchased for my son’s 17th Birthday. He’s a JLR apprentice and loves lego and everything motor related so I knew he’d love it. It certainly got him off his XBox for the 3 days it took him to build. Kept him entertained during Covid 19 lockdown. Highly recommended. Only slight issue was there were 3 missing pieces which he was able to order online, although I’ve since seen we could’ve contacted the seller/lego to order these. Luckily he was still able to continue the build whilst he awaits the arrival and can add these parts later.

    Bought this due to COVID-19 boredom and wasn’t disappointed. The last time I played with Lego was about 55 years ago and couldn’t resist this. It took a fair few hours to build and loved every second of it, in fact I’ve bought more Technic Lego since. It was a tiny bit fiddly in places but if you stick to the unbelievably detailed manual, you can’t go wrong.
    I was a bit concerned it would look more Lego than Landrover but once built, it totally looks like a Landrover. Looking forward to backwards building it so I can build it again!

    Received gift vouchers for Christmas that equalled the cost of this, so what else could I do but buy it? Kept me busy for about a dozen hours over the evenings of a week. Amazing detail and construction, even if it’s not exactly a true likeness of the real thing. Ideally you need a large building area plus a handful of bowls into which the parts from each stage of the build can be tipped into, and a lot of patience! (and no kids or pets to hide or eat any of the pieces). Extremely rewarding to reach the conclusion and have a complete working model – doors open, steering works, gearbox works with 4 speeds and 2 ranges, plus reverse and neutral. Kit is for left-hand drive but apparently by mirroring the build, you can end up with an RHD version – I wish I had the money to buy another kit and try !

    Keeps you busy !

Lots of detail and shows some of the (very) broad principles of car components. Lego can seem a little expensive but in this instance you do end up with quite a substantial model. Very pleased. For the afficionados this is based on the new Defender!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersA Good straight forward model to work on , gear box is complex and a fun item to build. The suspension bounces along nicely giving it a nice feel. The winch is good with a solid lock mechanism so holds position well.
    I’d highly recommend this item but then I worked on the Vehicles ladder, roof rack and winch system so I’m bias! 🙂

    Very well designed a lot of thought gone in to it. Looks good when completed. My husband who is a land rover fan was amazed at the design. Would be great if it came with a motor so it could be seen moving along. Would recommend.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersAs a Land Rover fan and especially the Defender, I was amazed at the detail in this. Granted it’s probably classed as a child’s toy but at the age of 57 it gave me such pleasure to build it and the quality and fit is astonishing – looking to build something else now!

    We baught this for our lego/landrover mad teenager. He absolutely loves it but we both agree that for all the amazing work underneath eg:gear box ect you don’t get to see any of it once fully built so that’s a down star.

    It took him about 24 split hours to complete.

    Love i

    A superb model, built over 3 sittings… all works as it ought too, the straight six isn’t quite as good as other Lego engines but okay.
    3 missing parts, Lego are not quite as spot on as they used to be but, credit where credit is due, replacements on their way with no quibble.
    Fancy a Bugatti now…

    I bought this for my girlfriend, she’s done several technic sets but this is by far and away the most detailed and time consuming, which is perfect because she wanted something that would take a good few hoyrs/days to complete.
    The detail is outstanding and all the components work just as if it were a real vehicle. I’ve been a car mechanic for over 30 years and I am seriously impressed with this.

    I saw this about a month before release, but kept an eye on Amazon pricing – 128, thank you ;o). Regardless of the price, it’s a great build and very clever yet again from Lego to come up with gears, diffs, steering and h/l speed transmission linking to a working (would be better if it were pistons like the porsche, harley etc) straight 6. Not quite as smooth an operation as the GT3RS in terms of gears, but, come on, this is lego and not a road-going vehicle with 3 yr warranty!

    Great build and another clever desig

    Golden Review Award: 22 From Our UsersThis is EPIC. My almost 10yr old is loving building this. The picture is the build at stage 717 out of 860. He’s probably spent around 20 hours on it so far and can’t wait to finish so he can play with it. It’s a great size, and being technic Lego it’s robust too. Favourite features include the fact that the wheels are controlled by either pushing it from the roof or from the steering wheel. We also love the locking boot mechanism and my sons favourite are the gears and pistons that move under the bonnet. It’s just brilliant, yes a slightly higher price than would be comfortable for most parents wallets, but as a main present it won’t disappoint. Definitely enjoyed by any Lego enthusiast young or old, and a great toy / model once complete. We’ve got more Lego than any household could ever need; from millennium falcons to ghostbuster houses we love our epic builds, but this is by far and away our unanimous favourite!

    Absolutely EPICALLY brilliant!

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersFantastic detail and functionality. I swapped a couple of gears over, inside the gearbox to make the engine turn more smoothly. Easy change, and makes the transmission nicer. This isn’t essential, just something I chose to do.
    A really good kit, I would recommend to anyone. You will need to keep on top of the instructions, check and recheck for a rewarding build experience. The detailing is superb and makes a solid model once completed.
    Vendor excellent too, on time, perfect condition as described.

    Golden Review Award: 54 From Our UsersI ummed and ahhed about spending this much on a Lego set, but when I finally took the plunge, I had a great time building this, despite the fact that there were a couple of pieces missing. Didn’t think I could downgrade it a whole star though as the parts were sent reasonably quickly, even the piece that was out of stock. I’d be lying if I said it didn’t spoil the build a little, since after the first missing part, I was constantly expecting more, but in terms of the wait, I’d never planned on building it quickly anyway, There was an issue with the driveshafts on the build but according to the interweb, you simply have to make sure you properly align the centres of the 2 universal joints and then you’re all good. To be fair the instructions show it being built this way but you have to be fairly eagle eyed to spot it. Finished, it hangs together really well. I chose the set partly because I’m interested in the new Defender but also the shape lends itself well to being made out of bricks.

    Overall, it looks great on the shelf, once it’s done. Though I’m considering tearing it down and building it again just for the fun of it.

    A Very Satisfying Build

    Golden Review Award: 18 From Our UsersThis was challenging but not to the degree that a Lego novice would struggle.The secret is, as always, to follow the instructions which are commendably clear.
    At first you wonder how on earth the various mini builds will make a Defender but gradually the familiar outline starts to take shape and the final large model is very impressive. The moving parts add novelty but the model really is a talking point whever anyone sees it.
    All the family joined in and the joint sense of satisfaction was immense. Great fun, highly recommended.

    Golden Review Award: 24 From Our UsersThere are very few Lego technic models that we don’t have, since Lego technic is my 14yr old autistic sons only interest. He was keen to save for this because he liked the look of the gearbox. It has 860 pages in the manual and took my son 20hrs to complete without any help. A great addition to his collection.
