Could be great but falls short
on April 2, 2021
Posted by: alegopenguin
Like many modern LEGO technic sets, the Land Rover is a very faith rendition of the original and a mechanical marvel with a beautifully designed suspension, steering and especially the 4x4 transmission. It's fun to build it up seeing it all come together, but disappointing to see it all become more or less inaccessible once the model is completed. All that intricate gearing that's brought into the cockpit is lost once you've put on the doors and roof. Hi and Lo Range? Gear select? You can't really use them. The only control that's externally accessible is the steering which is routed through to the roof. It almost feels like putting in all that fancy transmission was pointless if you can't easily play with it. I compare this model with the rough terrain crane that I recently built which has lots of functions, ALL of which are easy accessible for play.
That brings me to my second major issue with the model -- lack of motor control. The land rover would have made a fantastic app-controlled toy. It would have been so much cooler if you could drive it and change gears under motor control. I've seen some AFOLs on youtube who have pulled off a motorized conversion of this model, but I think it should have been motorized from the get-go (or at least have an option for motorizing it).
So overall I was disappointed. This model could (and should) have been great, but it falls short.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Incredible Set!
on March 9, 2021
Posted by: LegoPotato
This is my first big Technic set and it blew me away! I have enjoyed Lego City sets since i was little, but this is a whole new level of fun!
I love dealing with small parts and mechanics, so the build wasn't bad at all, the instructions where clear and concise, and I paced myself so that I enjoyed every bit of it.
The suspension, the gearing, and the low-profile yet powerful winch are all outstanding, not to mention how realistic the headlights, color-scheme, and shape are to the real deal.

awesome set!

I absolutely love this set! incredible details, and a great build experience, the only issue I have found with it is that the transmission tends to "click" and doesn't want to engage the engine or roll sometimes almost having a springback effect. other than that though an excellent experience! would definitely recommend.

Great design and fun build
on January 23, 2021
Posted by: LKibbler
This was my first Technics model and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience building it. I am very impressed at the skill level your designers have in engineering this masterpiece. When I bought it I had no idea it would have a working four wheel drive setup with front, rear, and center differentials, and a two speed transfer case with forward and reverse settings. Do your designers have engineering degrees? I must say I am very impressed and so glad I am an AFOL

Great, but gears don’t appear to do anything
on January 13, 2021
Posted by: Zach15
The build and building process was pretty fun, but i was disappointed to see that the gears changed nothing, I don’t know if I built it incorrectly or if they are there for looks, but they advertise it as a working gearbox so idk. The pistons also didn’t work well. I think this could be due to me only driving it around on carpet.

Best Set Ever
on January 2, 2021
Posted by: TomU
I was gifted this over Christmas, and boy was I wowed throughout the build process. Getting to construct (from scratch) the entire powertrain was both difficult and exciting. I haven't built a LEGO set in many years, but this definitely re-lit that spark. The TECHNIC line of LEGO has always been my favorite, and this set raised the bar. It was so much fun watching everything come together. I would have to say the suspension is the party piece. I have never experienced a set with this much suspension manipulation.
I was not missing any pieces and the instructions did not have a single fault. It all went together perfectly (with the occasional confusion induced four letter word). A challenging set that kept me occupied for three days with on-and-off building. I highly recommend this glowing product.

A great build
on January 1, 2021
Posted by: Frazier45431
This set is a great build. I’m someone how typically is building with bricks opposed to Technic, so this was an excellent first “hard” Technic set. I do have a few concerns about the design though. The set advertises having the six cylinder engine, which it does, but the only way to engage the engine is to turn gears in the trunk of the vehicle. I’m not sure if this is a common feature for other Technic cars, but it would be nice to have an easily accessible gear to turn to operate the engine. I also thought it was a little disappointing that the door handles are non-operable. Not a huge loss, just a thought. But aside from those two things, honestly I love the set overall!
