Amazing accuracy & build features!
on May 11, 2023
Posted by: Chris Cleen
If you are a fan of Land Rover, off-road vehicles, or cars in general, this is a great set to build. Lego put in amazing details and options for the build! TWO different engines, the wench WORKS!!
And the variables in the build. You can make it ready for 8 weeks in the Outback, a street ready no-extras classic, or a stripped down, no roof no windshield Safari special!! Oh, AND right OR left hand steering wheel!!!
My only complaints about the build were the interior should have been the classic houndstooth black & white pattern—Lego should have had pieces printed for the seats considering the price of the model. And speaking of price, for the price we should have had 3D instructions on the Builder app, because this was intricate at times. I think they could have made the snorkel better with 2 of those ‘corner’ 1x1s to make a ‘box’ where the mouth is. Overall Lego did an amazing job with a crazy amount of customization. Pay close attention when building the suspension!!!

Full of novel building tricks and realism

This was a really fun one! My first time shelling out for an expensive adult set, but I was delighted with the amount of detail and have no regrets.

Too much Technic for a display set
on May 4, 2023
Posted by: FarmerCarefreeApple100
A lot of time and parts are spent on the steering and suspension, yet this is definitely not a play set. The front wheels pop off their rods very easily, and the shocks are so stiff that it's hard to display the wheels in an action stance as the truck goes over rough terrain. I would have preferred a lot less detail that can't be seen or used, with a lower price.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

LEGO’s Best design for FORM and FUNCTION
on April 28, 2023
Posted by: SquirrelWhisperer
The Land Rover classic is a crowning achievement for LEGO designer Kurt Christiansen. Many designers emphasis form over function, provided beautiful display pieces that have little interesting features. Other designers create pieces that incorporate intricate moving parts, that end up as flimsy models, with finishing pieces fighting for space, or not fitting flush at all. When I select a model to purchase, I often check on who the designer is, much like on checking to see if an upcoming movie has actors that you like.
Now about the Land Rover. I have not seen a model where the doors open and close so smoothly and so flush. The over all line shapes of the vehicle are completely flush. The design of the interior is clean and the use of contrast and complimentary colors provide a realistic appearance. I do have one serious criticism: Several times, the placement of a piece is completely obscured due to an incorrect camera angle presented in the manual. The user may have to wait several pages forward to verify their placement.

Honestly.. Pretty Pleased!
on April 25, 2023
Posted by: LoudestMessyCat
I definitely enjoyed this build and was pleasantly surprised by the small details of several sections which add a lot of fun to the experience. I feel like this set would be more fairly priced just a bit cheaper given its smaller size/complexity compared to the modulars at the same price point, but it is undoubtedly a must for any collector to snag. It's going to look amazing displayed!

Nice vehicle
on April 24, 2023

This build was an incredible build. Not too many stickers with this model. That's nice. There are 2 stickers that go on the front windshield, but because the window is curved the sticker refuses to stay on the window. I just didn't put them on.
You can build 3 different Land Rovers so let your imagination go wild.
Have fun with this build.

Missing Element
on April 22, 2023
Posted by: Noelster
Once again the lego sorting scanner confused a similar part and I ended up half way through with a missing piece. I needed a technic part cross axle 1X1 connector and they used a smooth (non cross) axle. It wont work of course! Lego is sending the part but this should never have happened. The laser scanner needs to be tuned to fine compare! This mixing up of parts has happened quite frequently lately. On the positive side the Rover is really detailed and sturdy. I love it as well as the green LR that preceded it with the first 5 speed tranny.
