Great LEGO Technic set, with one big problem...
on January 25, 2022
Posted by: Lucius
The LEGO Land Rover Defender is a great set. It has the building experience, which helps you to see how real cars work. It also is very fun to play. It also has great accessories, which include the optional roof rack, steering handle at the roof, being able to see the gears, and a hook! However, there is two big problems, which made me drop this down 1 star. First of all, it does not have printed set, which I think is a must for LEGO sets at this price range. THE GEARS ALSO DO NOT WORK This is a common issue for this model, which many youtubers have addressed. Even after seeing videos, it has not help, and the engine makes a crunching sound, and the wheels do not move. This makes it impossible to play, as you cannot move the car. If lego can fix this problem, it would be the best technic set (In my opinion). It has the looks for display, fun-playability (Except the engine cracking part), and fun building experience!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have spent a decent portion of my off-time between woodworking and modeling during the pandemic. I purchased my first Technics set last February - the Lamborghini. It was a great way to start out. I have added several models since but was really excited about the Land Rover. I love the complexity and engineering that goes into these models. The transmission and transfer case on this model are truly impressive. I’ve always loved cars and have built all types of models through the years. This is my favorite modeling genre because you can disassemble and reassemble the models any time you want. I now have a grandson who will be really excited to build some of these in the future. All of the details are what really makes these models so cool. I’m already eyeing the BMW motorcycle. I also have to build more display shelves so this fits in with my other passion. Keep the designs coming please!
There were missing parts that I managed to substitute in as I went along. They weren't major components to the set. I rebuilt the transmission and engine area twice to get the wheels to turn. The wheels never turned and it just made a clicking noise. I watched videos and read on responses others had with this same issue to no avail.

Oh no! Missing parts are rare, so it's disappointing when it happens. Visit LEGO.build/BricksPieces-BV to request what was missing free of charge. For the issue with your wheels, get in touch at LEGO.build/Service-BV so we can take a closer look to help!
A great set. I love how realistic it is for being built of Legos. I do not intend to play with this item but to place it on display. It was tedious to build yet enjoyable.
This is an amazing set! Been looking to get it for a while and finally pulled the trigger. Super glad I did! I love how detailed the interior is while still revealing the transmission and gears working. The rubber band on the rear door is a little loose. Was worried it would fall off but I put it behind the black piece that held it together. Now it’s perfect and I’m not worried about losing it. My photo won’t upload for it unfortunately.
This set was a lot of fun to put together, but the instructions were lacking in detail. Trying to determine light gray, medium gray, dark gray, darker gray and black on the instructions was very confusing. The gears should be pictured face on, not from an angle so you know what gear to use and show in actual size. It's 2021 - why not use actual pictures of the parts instead of poorly colored drawings? It also drove me crazy to have to put parts in blind spots connecting behind the parts pictured - the page is big enough to show both sides.

I purchased this set from a store, the box wasn't in good shape and the box was all taped up. I still bought it, and after opening the box, one of the bags were open and all of the bags for parts two and three were missing. I cant say I was surprised though, I knew something had to be wrong with it. If I ever get the chance to get another one, I will come back and write a new review. Note: I didn't pay full price, due to its condition it was marked down.
