28:00 I'm with you on mudguards... It's like Duplo where an airplane is built from two pieces: left side of an airplane and right side of an airplane.

[@RomboutVersluijs]

I guess they were tired after building that base. THats looks rock solid. PS i find those panels in the rear windows weirder then the wheel casings

[@marshallzachan5916]

I must say I do agree that they would be useless on any other set, but I really feel like the set wouldn't have looked anywhere near as polished if they have built such curved and angular parts with multiple pieces, we probably would have gotten a flimsy square mudguard.

[@RomboutVersluijs]

I think these are very important parts which shape a car or any vehicle having them. If it would have some random shape, it would not look as great as it does now. Its part of a very important design feature.

[@robertwilliam3507]

nah duplo is all one piece and the airplane actually better resembles a submarine with wings

[@leodai8620]

Looks cooler than the real defender

[@nathanjxaxson]

Seems like the perfect set for people who are just getting their Lego Technic collections started - has all the transmission pieces you could ever need, fully independent double wishbone suspension, steering wheel, differentials, good wheels and tires - all you would need afterwards would be motors (which are easy to purchase separately). This set looks like a great start for beginning Lego vehicle engineers. I could easily see someone using the parts from this set to build a sports car, etc.

[@real.ilya_remov]

Excellent! The designer's done a really good job on the looks. The interview shows how much work went into this!

[@claudiobizama5603]

It has some interesting Quirks and Features. I wonder if it comes with Bumper to Bumper warranty. This must be the best looking of the Technic licenced cars. As you said, it looks even better than the real thing.

[@quintinseegers7317]

That depends on the country you're in. In Australia and New Zealand we have to fork out AU$330 and NZ$400 respectively. So I wouldn't say it's reasonably priced at all. More like overpriced.

[@patheticapple2680]

@@quintinseegers7317 I understand your feeling. I'm living in Australia but still saving for this set

[@NMLE]

@@quintinseegers7317 It is reasonably priced. It's long known that LEGO follows the pricing according to their US prices. This set cost USD199.99. Converted from AU$330, it's roughly USD230. Converted from NZ$400, it's roughly USD268. For my country, Singapore, it retails for SGD299 or USD222. However, for me, I have the option of buying it online at a much cheaper price (Below retail + promo codes from application), so it cost SGD200 for me, or roughly USD148.50 Come to think of it, now that I compare the prices, I think either your retailers selling LEGOs are jacking up the price to make a profit or the custom import cost to your country is high. Yeah, but for me, I am able to get this set @ USD148.50 online locally so it does not matter. Oh BTW I bought the batmobile set @ SGD243 (Or USD180) using the same online platform. And before anyone of you asks, that platform is exclusively for Singaporeans only. They don't allow to ship internationally.

I must agree, this is the best-looking LEGO off-roader to date, and one of the best-looking Technic models, on par with the Chiron. I must also agree with your mudguard gripe: it messes with the purpose of LEGO. AAAAND finally I also agree with the transmission problem. I'd love to see a motorized shifter mechanism like in the 8043 incorporated into the next giant crane, or maybe a CVT in a vehicle. Great review, and thank you.

I was very careful when assembling the huge gearbox system but I guess I did something wrong because the engine pistons aren't always moving, most often they don't do anything.

[@SuperkTechnic]

That's a great review, thank you. I'm not 100% sure to buy it later (or have as a christman gift *wink wink wink*) but I really like the tons of detail and the apparent complexity of the mechanical part. I'll wait to see it drive motorized now, I think it could be a great and playable RC model.

[@Nico71Fr]

I have the same feeling as you, nice set but not really the lego philosophy, but I am sure this type of set (like the porsche chiron) enable lego to gain more customers.

[@skaterfugater]

what i would have liked to see is a drivetrain with 4x4 function switched on or off. where the differentials can be locked including the front and rear wheels. but i dont know if the defender has such a function in reality at all.

[@xcavinps4539]

This set is clearly not lego technic. There’s not enough gaping holes

All right, for a kid aged 9-12 (and any AFOL of course), I can see this being as interesting as 8880 Supercar was for me back in the 90's, it's actually a neat product with a reasonable price. I am happy it's not motorized - it would be disappointingly slow, as usual.

[@playerofguitars]

I feel like the reason they dont really do B models anymore is because they haven't done that many big non-branded technic sets, so it probably is for licensing issues as they would have to have a separate vehicle from the same brand, which would require more pieces and higher price

[@peterpolus5272]

Maybe it could fit bigger tires if you de-fender it😜

[@robertwilliam3507]

maybe they could use the mudguards for giant fighter jet intakes

[@tallmantoo]

Hmm so now I need a pug and a LEGO set!

[@JekPorkbricks]

Just a random thought that popped up: maybe Lego Technic's transmissions would make more sense if the lower gears somehow introduced more friction in the drive train, slowing down the movement of the car when you push it along. When you switch to a higher gear, the car becomes easier to push along and thus goes faster. Obviously, the change in piston movement frequency in the engine would still remain. I have no idea how to implement all of this though.

[@leoslego5965]

Actually, 42110 does have that feature and it's rather annoying.

[@R0Sch88]

A great review as always, Sariel! Totally agree that metallic green would have been the better color choice for this model. Too bad this licensed set does not include any info in the instructions about the real car, designer, etc. like the Porsche, Bugatti, Volvo. I also wonder why the gearbox is switched and wasn't made ready for motorization. I like your Defender much better as it represents an iconic vehicle. LEGO should have made the old Defender, but then people would have complained about the lookalike to the Ideas entry.

[@x2e4]

Stop torturing the car!🤣🤣

[@darabradley5173]

If you still have it I’d love to see this model compared to your rc defender 90 from a couple years back

1. The LEGO Group produces the Technic model with gearbox that distribute the rotation to different features like doors, hood, trunk opening etc. Fans react like "uhh, fake gearbox! It doesn't change the gears, who needs these pointless functions? Let's blame them!" 2. The LEGO Group produces the Technic model with gearbox that really change the gears allowing to have different ratio betwen the engine and wheels. Fans react like "uhh, boring gearbox! It just change the gears, who needs these different speeds? Let's blame them!" Great review except of that unfair thing. Well done!

"Everything is awesome" as we well know but... The second new and unique Technic color in one season? First bright light orange (or whatever), now olive green.

Thanks for the review, the best in its laconic precision and humor as always!

[@fredko7086]

Dear Sariel, I am a long time Lego fan, but not so much of the Technic range, even if I appreciate many of some released sets and would buy one or two a year if my budget was not already dedicated to SW and Ninjago. But I do appreciate your videos and reviews, the way you complete them with comments and more than anything the fact that your opinions are always as objective as possible (or so it seems to me, because as it is your opinion it's obviously subjective, but I think not that influenced by the fact that Lego provides you many sets for review. Lucky guy!) So thank you for allowing us to discover and appreciate sets that many of us will never get because : 1)one has to make sometimes hard choices in life and /or 2) because Lego can be an expensive hobby and passion and, but for a very few people, it's impossible to purchase each single set we would like to. So sincere thanks for your work. I have now a question. Are you left-handed? The way you turn the pages of the leaflet made me think of it. Thank you.

[@searme]

Thanks for the kind words. I'm right-handed.

[@fredko7086]
