Built It Twice
on March 4, 2020
Posted by: GeorgeA
I loved building this Defender the first time. But when I was finished I realized one back wheel went one way and the other went the opposite way. I emailed Lego about my problem and they called me about what to do. I ended up taking it all apart and starting over. It was not as much fun the second time, but I did it correctly this time.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I Love Gratuitous Complexity
on February 26, 2020
Posted by: StuR
My first Technic project and I'm hooked. This requires a strong level of focus. If you find yourself drifting, stop! Every step counts and you may get so far that an error is hard to undo.
The gearbox is insanely complex and I'm not sure to what end, other than the immense satisfaction I experienced when I put the wheels on and everything worked silky smooth, with no cracking or apparent friction.
Every little detail is pleasurable - the operation of the steering wheel via the roof's steering extension; the working "spring lock" simulator of the rear door; the expanding roof ladder; the moving cylinders of the engine.
No sense of repetition or boring phases. The challenge of getting it right, and the dangers of getting it wrong, all led to a thoroughly engaging building experience.
Well worth the cost.
See attached picture of my Land Rover in front of Old Trafford Stadium (!!!).

Technic Is Becoming My Favorite
on February 3, 2020
Posted by: JohnKIOhio
This was my favorite Technic build until I built the Bugatti. I found several missing pieces in this set which Lego Support shipped out. It is rare to have missing pieces. I like the winch function, the rear door latch and the ability to steer the wheels. I am a builder/collector. They are for display.

Extremely detailed

It feels like you’re building am actual Land Rover. The details of the interior are shockingly realistic, especially the engine.

Would be great if it had a motor and were drivable
on January 15, 2020
Posted by: Laughingstock
I really enjoyed the build - did have to take most of the front end off after completion due to my error in forgetting one small piece that caused the steering wheel to bind, but after that (2 hour detour) I was about to enjoy the look and feel of this truck. My only suggestion to LEGO is that they make this thing drivable. I would love to be able to put a motor in it and drive it around, but it's now just a nice thing to sit and admire on my shelf at work. I think it could be more than that, but still it does attract attention.

Its like building the real car
on January 8, 2020
Posted by: Hogger
It's a love/hate relationship with that car... I had to redo several sections because the pictures are sometimes difficult to be 100% accurate. I had to rebuilt the engine a couple of different times because SO MANY PIECES -- they need more tutorials on this build. Not like any other lego I have ever seen or built and that makes it awesome, but man, what a battle. Its like a puzzle inside of a puzzle inside of a puzzle.

Hopefully as strong as the real thing.
on January 7, 2020
Posted by: RoverTech
I received this as a gift, and being a technician for Land Rover I was overjoyed to see how it “stacked” up to the real thing. Having never really built Technic I found this to be challenging but very fun and couldn’t stop turning the pages to see what was coming next. As most others are saying the gearbox is tricky and complex, and much like real transmissions, attention must be given to all steps to avoid miss placing gears. I ended up rebuilding mine 3 times and still believe I made a few mistakes. The attention to detail with the gear selector, hi/lo range selector and forward/reverse was another high point for me and watching everything sync up with the transmission down to the driveline and up to the engine was pure joy. One problem I encountered was the winch, I have big hands and once the winch is installed I cannot retie the string where it sits just behind the bumper without having to dissemble just about everything on the front end. (So make sure it’s tight!) Overall I thoroughly enjoyed building this and have found myself wanting more technic sets. Coming from working on Rovers, this was a nice break from the fixing and rebuilding part of my everyday life. For my own sake, I’m really hoping Land Rover takes a “piece” from the Lego assembly line and the Defender comes out with minor problems!

Good but perhaps too overdone
on December 9, 2019
Posted by: Bsowers34
First, it’s way bigger than the pictures suggest so make sure you have room to display it. I don’t like that the engine has pop up pistons, with this much detail they may as well have done a real engine. It also needs instructions to motorize it. Just spinning the wheels you don’t get to really figure out how the gearboxes work. But overall it’s pretty awesome and I would get it again.
