Great set for advanced builders
on April 25, 2020
Posted by: Henry2C
We did the set together with my 7y old son. It's one of the most complicated set I have made so far. It takes time and it is hard but as long as you follow instructions carefully there is no major trouble.
The gearbox is amazing and it is the highlight of the set. Unfortunately I don't think it is possible not to have it cracking in 3rd / 4th gear. The torque applied to some of the pieces is just too strong. It's running smoothly for other gears. Design could have been simplified a little to avoid this.
We made small changes to make it sort of a convertible. Not Land Rover approved but a great way to see better the inside.
As many, I am not a fan of stickers, one or two Land Rover printed pieces would have been great.
Two quick suggestions :
- it would be great to show in the instructions where to fit the motors if we want to.
- For this type of model Novice / Advanced builder mode in the instructions would be great. Being able to split tasks between two builders based on their skills and have independent part being built before getting assembled. A great way to get young Lego enthusiasts directly involved in this type of build.

cool build. bad play
on April 13, 2020
Posted by: notallowedmyscreennamesad
You spend so much time building all the gearing. The model as completed does not let you play. Gears can be shifted. Does nothing when rolling it.
You have to find one of the mods to put in a motor, or a crank on the front to turn the engine and watch how the gears affect the drive.
So in the end, all these cool details are useless in the default build.

Lots of fun, take your time
on April 7, 2020
Posted by: Petew
My favorite Lego build to date. I'd read all the reviews before I started the build so I was EXTRA careful to check every step and recheck it as I built. I didn't want to use a part that I shouldn't have (causing me to run out later) or put something together wrong. Even after all my careful building, I somehow ended up with one mistake about 2/3rds into the project with one piece oriented incorrectly that set me back over an hour.
In the end, everything was perfect, all parts were included and everything worked as it should. As has been mentioned numerous times, it's a shame that the finished build hides pretty much all of the super cool work done in phase two. It'd almost be more interesting to display it without the body so you can see the gears, transmission and drive train in action.
This is not a set that builds itself, like so many are...one has to think and study the manual at times to make sure they really are getting it right, and I appreciated the challenge.
Well done Lego.

Super Challenging Build
on April 2, 2020
Posted by: panamaline
I have built numerous Lego models and even have a couple of MOCs (my own creation) that have been creative and fun.
This was my first really advanced technic and it was super challenging, fun and rewarding. Recommend to anyone who wants to really test their building abilities.
I must admit that the Defender looks great but I must have done something wrong with the gear shaft. The rear wheels do not turn (front do) so while it looks great it doesn't really drive all that well. It's kind of like it's in park.
Any thoughts other than taking it all apart and starting over would be greatly appreciated.

Response from LEGOBy Emily, Customer Service, April 7, 2020
Thanks for your review. If the back wheels aren't turning, then some rebuilding will be necessary. The first thing to check will be any gears and axles - make sure they've got enough room to turn. If that doesn't do the trick, then you will want to do some more significant rework, making sure that everything's lined up just right.

Waste of purchase
on April 1, 2020
Posted by: VRinSLC
1. This set remains useless as rear wheels don't move at all. I have rebuilt this set now twice, out of concern for incorrectly placed differential, or other cogwheels, to no avail.
2. Instruction manual is not user friendly, driven by poor highlighting of brick placement (particularly relevant when small ones are to be added in an already crowded area). In other Lego sets - e.g. Creator Expert - manuals show a frame around the piece and that could have been easily done here.

First item from LEGO
on March 28, 2020
Posted by: Feylinnn
I was hesitating of becoming a LEGO fan (because of the price), until I purchased this item. This gigantic and monster surprised me with its smooth ride and shock absorber function. Worth every penny I spent.

An accurate representation of the real vehicle
on March 14, 2020
Posted by: LegoPup
This is another good kit from the Technic series. Was a decently challenging build but not too overly hard. It can be done in a day. The drive-train is very detailed and the design follows very closely to the actual vehicle.
