Great, Just a little dissapointing
on December 9, 2019
Posted by: JamesRanow
Overall, the model is a great build. The complexity of the gear system makes this a challenging build that you really have to pay attention to. I made a few minor mistakes which resulted in minor rebuilds. With the experience of the Mack Anthem, I knew to double check everything periodically.
I only have two minor problems with the end result. The first one is the same that most people point out. For all its complexity, the end result of the gear system appears to have little impact. The vehicle rolls just the same in F/N/R and the pistons under the hood don't really seem to be affected by the selector, except N and the High/Lo doesn't do anything along with the +/- nob. In the end, doesn't really affect the overall outcome of the model as it's just going to be a display piece.
The other issue I had was I didn't get a rubber band for the rear door locking mechanism. Again, not a problem, just a slight annoyance. First set that i've actually not received a part.

Sooo i picked this up about 2 months ago and built it in about a week but not everything was clear and i wish that it was, The lego defender is a great show piece BUT There were at least more than 50+ pieces missing if only these sets were a little more clear it would be a nice calm swift build.

Oh wow! That’s really unusual, and I’m sorry to hear that you’ve had such a disappointing experience. If there isn't a bag still stuck in the box or a few similar pieces used in an incorrect step of the instructions, don't worry! We're here to help.

Enjoyable Build
on November 27, 2019
Posted by: Sajash
First, was thrown off by it being only 4 sections. But within those 4 sections were numerous bags. I don’t rush through these, take maybe only 45 minutes to an hour each day. Building was not too hard, but it helps on some of the fingers were a lot thinner; especially on the motor parts. Looks very sharp after it is put together. On the decals I wish they would number them in the order that they are used in the instructions. But that is only a minor inconvenience. That was my favorite technics build.

I’m going to help LEGO out there is two pictures in the instructions manual that are off and the gears and wheel need to be tested as you go. You will be upset if you don’t test the wheels and gears. It’s missing one piece that is not too bad you have to have patience if you going to build this ..overall love the look, great display piece

Great build

Love the build. Took my time and enjoyed every minute. The only complaint is that it was missing some small pieces. Nothing essential but a little aggravating. I would recommend it.

Land Rover
on November 12, 2019
Posted by: Barry
This was a challenging build. The transmission gear box doesn’t work even though I rebuilt it twice, thus the 12 hour build time. The first time while trying to joint the front and back sections something happened to the rear differential causing the rear axel to stop operation. There really is no process to go back and fix mistakes. The only way to “Fix” the problem was to tear apart the whole build and start over because there is no way to back out to a good restart at this point due to all the parts that hold the overall build together coming from many different directions. Once I got the Land Rover finished I too found that putting the transmission in “D”, “N’, or “R” had no effect on anything. More time should have been put in to designing a transmission that works, and also accessible for troubleshooting. A better option may have been a few battery powered motors (with Bluetooth, like the Disney Train) for a drive system. Overall the Land Rover is a nice model although it is huge. I also feel that the size causes issues with the doors and tailgate not working as smooth as they could. I would have preferred a size more like the VW Bus, VW Beetle, Mustang.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good value, disappointing transmission
on October 26, 2019
Posted by: Severenz
Overall it was a fun build. It looks nice on shelf. After completing, the transmission had a clicking sound and shortly thereafter the long angled axles came off. I can’t get my fingers in to reattach so shifting and gears are unusable. Taking it apart to fix is not an option considering how much would have to come apart. I assume there is a mistake somewhere along the line but I am very disappointed.

Thanks for your review. I'm sorry to hear that you've experienced some frustration with the Land Rover Defender. We always test and retest our toys to make sure that they’ll hold up to play when they’re built exactly as shown in the instructions. If shifting gear features seem to gum up a bit, the best thing to do is double-check your build. For this specific set, this special function requires the gears to be adjusted just right to work. We know it can be a bit frustrating to have to rebuild again, but usually a gear a little off from where it should be can cause issues with the gear shift.
If you'd like a hand troubleshooting the build, or if you find that any pieces aren't holding together as they should, feel free to give us a shout at LEGO.com/Service.

Defender
on October 16, 2019

Initially I was unhappy with the price, but when it arrived it had the thickest instruction manual BY FAR of any lego I've ever purchased. Many Lego sets that are half the price only take about an hour to build. This took nearly 8 hours, making the amount of time spent building well worth the price.
The set itself is amazing. Many working parts, very intricate. I think it's my favorite set so far. I had plans to build another with my own lego's in another color, but it has so many new and one-of-a-kind parts that it's nearly impossible to re-create.
