Top positive review

An enjoyable model to build!

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2024

I had fun building the Lego Land Rover Defender. The assembly is complex (there are over 2,500 pieces), but the instructions are very clear and logical. In the end, you get a realistic-looking model (especially considering the limitations of Lego bricks) with a plethora of working features:

* Opening hood, doors and rear hatch
* Working steering
* Inline six-cylinder engine with pistons that go up and down
* Four-wheel independent suspension
* Four-speed gearbox with low and high ranges
* Working winch

If you like Lego sets and are looking for a challenge, buy this model. You won't be disappointed!

Missing bricks

I have been asking some missing bricks through the website of Lego service. But still no answers at all over a couple of months.

Lego Defender set is already perfect. Iconic, realistic. But Amazon is more perfect. On time shipping, secure boxing and acceptable price.

This model is expensive but perfect for a Lego enthusiast. Teenage grandson wanted it for Christmas. He loved it.

It's worth it!

I’m a huge Lego fan and this set is exactly what I was looking for – hard enough but not too complex, so that I won’t end up messing everything up. I chose this one because of its cool looking, fancy functional features, and most importantly – it’s big enough so I won’t finish it in just one day!
All the details specified on the box are real and well functioned, I especially love the gear shift and the hi/lo settings, also the lock door on the back. The real thing looks nothing different from on the box. I was pretty satisfied.
If you’re buying this set or if you’re about to build it, I do have a suggestion for you – for every 4 or 5 pages, check if your project is what’s on the book. Especially for bag 1 and 2 when building the engine part, you need to make sure they’re working correctly and smoothly. Unfortunately, it is sometimes hard to tell which gear is which from the book – unlike the bars, there aren’t scales so you can’t know the size, and the colors look almost the same. As a 19-year-old, I still made not only one but a few mistakes during the process, and one fatal that caused my car to not be working correctly. I messed the little gears up, so that’s why I say those are tricky.
Overall, I’d definitely recommend this set to all Lego and car lovers! It’s worth it!

This was a very fun build — took about 8 hours of total time spread out over several days. The bags are numbered which made working through the set more organized. The functional features are really cool, such as the working gear box, hi/lo settings, drive and reverse lever, working winch, and functional tailgate. The parts are high quality, including the suspension which is quite rugged.

There are multiple parts of this build that require a high degree of attention to detail which may be challenging for younger kids. This is officially an 11+ set, but my guess is it would be quite hard of a build for anyone under 16, especially if the challenge is to build it and have all of its functions actually work.

As an adult, I still made several mistakes that required me to disassemble some built components to correct. The instructions made it quite clear that certain parts need to be aligned perfectly for the gearbox to work and for the steering to be aligned. I ended up needing to fine tune the gears that controlled the steering as my steering wheel was not aligned to the rotation of the wheels. Sort of like a real Land Rover!

Contrary to other reviews, I had no missing pieces.

Great set, But there are missing pieces.

This was a great Lego set until bag three when I noticed a missing piece. the piece was a huge white plate for the roof of the Defender and could not be replaced. I had to wait a week for Bricklink to deliver to me to finally finish this Lego set. the overall set was amazing. the four speed gearbox, the four wheel drive, and the back door hatch are my favorite features. the overall land rover was amazing, but the missing piece put this review down one star.
(P.S. missing pieces were very rare for this set. not many people had any missing pieces. don't let this statement keep you from buying this set.)

Great experience, playability and display piece for $150

Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2022

Grabbed this at a great $150 price.
Comes in 4 numbered bags and spent anywhere from 1-3hrs per bag for a total of 7.5hr over 5 days.
It's a really nice balance between complexity and simplicity. Bag 2 and 3 are some of the longer parts to this set. Bag 1 and 4 are quick.

While there are gear and resistance levels, unless you connect a motor, do not expect the pistons move a lot or the gears to really show any really effect. Plus they're inverted.

Would recommend for a casual after work evening's chill time or a great gift for a young kid.
Great intro set to technic cars.
