LEGO 10317 Classic Land Rover Defender 90 detailed building review part 1

[@RacingBrick]

Here's the second part of the review - kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4nQpZmQZ5WBncU

[@sams30001]

This looks great. I think combining brick building & technic, giving the best of both makes for an excellent set.

[@Frazec_Atsjenkov]

Mixing Technic with System is my favorite way to build as well. Simply lovely set. I wish LEGO would make more sets like this. I think I might be tempted to get this one...

[@arghjayem]

Creator expert vehicles tend to have some combination of technic and system, just a little more prevalent in this set! 😂

[@Kelkschiz]

@@arghjayem The ratio of the combination is important. This is the first set that strikes me as having a good ratio.

[@For891]

Unfortunately, I don’t think we are in the majority.I also like this combination of technic and system.

[@MGFirewater]

its remembering on the 90's model team serie

[@Frazec_Atsjenkov]

@@MGFirewater I remeber looking at that lovely white truck :)

[@h2owl205]

You're by far my favorite Lego content creator at the moment. I love how objective you remain and I really enjoy the emphasis you put on the build process as compared to a standard finished product review

[@freggs4906]

Like others have said i really like the mix of System and Technic resulting in a realistic model whilst remaining very attractive. Still, no matter how much i would love to get my hands on this set i could never justify spending so much as a casual builder. A bit of a theme for Lego lately, specially when it comes to trademarked sets.

[@lbbde1]

The right number plate at 8:42 has hinges instead of screws. When you do a water crossing with your vehicle water will get pushed into the section behind the front bumper/grille/bull bar/whatever. When this water flows back out it often happens that it rips off the front number plate. The sheer force of the water is too much for the little screws of number plates (as seen on the left number plate). The front number plate often covers the hole for the winch cable. Having the number plate attached with two hinges at the top will allow it to flip open and either let water get out or the winch cable through.

[@עילםאברמוביץ]

This is amazing! This is the first ever lego set with an actually accurate off road suspension!!

[@stonksrgud7645]

"clarksen voice*: "A V8 motor you say?"

[@johnathanmoyer2375]

Hah, you already called out Tiago. I was curious about how your two reviews would differ, considering Tiago's general aversion to Technic. I'm super excited for this set. I love the integration of both technic and system elements.

[@RacingBrick]

Just having a little fun, I really like Tiago's content :) One day maybe he'll realize how cool Technic is :D

[@johnathanmoyer2375]

@@RacingBrick I love his content too, but it was kind of hilarious how his review is absolutely scathing for reasons that us technic fans are plenty used tp.

[@SaperPl1]

Yeah, the correct speed build with just the interesting details :P

[@RichN22]

Love it, I'm ordering mine on the first of April. Although I'm insensed, a British car built for British farmers, that cup of coffee should be a pint of good old British real ale!!! 😊😊😊

[@marcia4689]

Thank you for building this in real time. We have hit a wall with Bag 11. The directions are not easy to follow because there is no clarity concerning where and how to place and line up the parts. We keep watching this video to gain an understanding of how to proceed. You are the only one who doesn’t speed build this set. Hopefully you will keep making videos like this for other sets that can be problematic.

[@eefneleman9564]

The proportions of the Icons set seem much better than those of the Tecnic set. So that, the color and the extraordinary attention to detail are big plusses. The downside is the price.

[@redeyerob2176]

The licence plate you show on the right should be on the back of the defender as the bottom has what looks like to me dealer information which is common on english plates

[@custarddragon9349]

This set i would REALLY like for my 15th bday which comes in Spring (autumn for those in the Northern hemisphere) as Land Rovers are great British cars, and when i first saw this new land rover set i was glad it was an offroader and im more glad it comes with more detailed accessories like 2 gas cans to refuel the car, an opening toolbox, a car jack to change the wheel, some tools if you get bogged, and a winch like on the older defender, as well as little ramps to help tackle terrain.

[@Retlom]

One of the coolest Lego sets ever made😊

[@ahmetdag5600]

Technic is integrated nicely with System by talented Lego designers in some sets from icons and ideas. Typewriter and this set are good examples of this good integration.

[@matthewjohnson7672]

Cant wait for land rover discovery off rd used in time team or races so good

[@arghjayem]

07:12 I find it kind of weird that we get 2 positions for the rear view mirror. In all old defenders the rear view mirror is in the centre, regardless of LHD or RHD. Strange. 🤔🤷😂 Guess that’s MOD number 1. 08:40 the left hand is a U.K. license, but square. Not sure bout the other one? European? American? 08:57 It’s interesting, because based on the colour scheme and the plush interior I figured this was being modelled after the “Heritage Edition” Land Rover which was released a few years before they retired the old version. But that had a 2.2l 4 cylinder diesel, not the TD5. And the ninety didn’t get the V8 until a few years after it’s initial release. They did do a special edition V8 in 2018 briefly, so I suppose that could be it? 😂 10:38 I think it looks great with all the gear, but I’m probably not gonna display it with that. Kind of wish instead of all those parts for accessory building they’d have included parts to turn it into a 110 (big ask I know but still 🤷) or a truck cab version with an IFOR Williams back canopy! 😂

[@nikross500]

Parts for a 110, exactly what I was thinking. Have to say I'm disappointed, windscreen and wheels are terrible 😫

[@Splix014]

I bought iT A few days ago in denmark while on vacation i started to build iT yesterday and i love iT so far great set

[@andreyk8604]

Tribute to Hungary is so pleasant! Though I'm from Italy.

[@batmantoast8013]

Love the Tiago Catarino reference!

[@canthandlethejhandel]

That V8 is definitely the Jaguar AJV8. Super cool set!

[@bbcmotd]

Can't wait to see the $500 price equivalent here in Moscow 🥲

[@briqtastic]

I really love the color they used for this set. I will probably not get this set, but the color is a big plus for me

[@lucienvisser5405]

Great part 1, realy like the pace of your reviews❤. Seeing the teaser clip from lego, and knowing the price, i was disappointed that the set wasn't a 110 version. Which is also a more logical choice for an offroad version. But still a very nice set with that nice suspension feature.

[@notexcisting546]

Great set! Minor thing; Shouldn't the LEGO Campus be mirrored in the review mirror?

[@sanmarino_cs1698]

Been waiting for this!!

[@DonPromillo_99]

I think at this pricepoint at least the stickers on the windshield and the "Defender" writing on the hood would have had to be prints. Except from this the set looks great, no major color differents as far as i can see. And i really like the idea that you can convert this model into different versions and that Lego even gives you two different engines, depending on the version you are going for. But sadly the high pricetag killls it for me. I hope that I#m going to get one used for cheap(er) down the line.

[@sherifsabry6411]

You are the best reviewer of Lego ❤

[@fengyink]

Thank you. This is an amazing fusion of creator and technic. Can you add some robust test on part 2 such as dropping from 2-3 inches above ground - how well the creator chassis holds up. Thanks again.

[@landonrobertson2982]

I was like "yessir" when I saw this video

[@BendeguzLPal]

I was looking for You at AMTS, to finally meet in person. Saturday morning I couldn’t wait after 11:00, I had to leave to an other event. But it was great to see the LEGO exhibition you made with the fellow creators. Congrats! I hope we bump into each other next time!

[@RacingBrick]

Sorry about that, Saturday I was there with my son and he wanted to take a look around as soon as we arrived so I was at our tables only in the afternoon. Hope to see you next time!

[@stehlik]

Lovely set, even if I prefer different themes.. it’s tempting. :) Thanks for great review, Balázs, awesome work as always.

[@tamerelrefaie3977]

Amazing video as usual my dear friend 👍🏼

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

Thanks for the build review, and looking forward to the size comparisons/additional info in part 2. I personally don't mind the smaller size, and it already looks great next to the Mustang. Like that there's an option to mirror the steering as I would definitely have it on the left hand side like I guess pretty much all the Creator Expert vehicles up to this point. Also already totally called that Windshield from being from the T2. It's a good fit for this model. As for the build, love the combination of Technic/system to build a detailed fundamentally functional vehicle.

[@therickman1990]

I have to have this, love the detailing!

[@mkprofessionalism]

Epic set!!!

[@j1m909]

I always change to right hand drive as I'm from the UK. Agree with some of the comments for this money there should be no stickers only printed bricks.

[@notyouraverageasian9385]

i love the part where they have finally included suspensions in this "Lego Creator" based set!

[@Metalizer]

well yeah Tiago wasn't so delighted in his review :P he complained about "wobbly" building process and popping off front fenders and roof tiles :P

[@bricklord340]

This really helped me decide on weather to buy it or not. Thanks

[@antedeschepper3606]

They should make a separate set for a trailer that can fit the other creator cars.

[@Wizaryx]

Great set and video! I think new Defender looks more realistic than Technic version

[@hammyh1165]

Speed champions sized Defender would be great.

[@sithphobos]

As a personal land rover owner I love this set I have the tecnic one already and will grab this one for sure to be perfect I would want to see a soft top version also but guess that's asking to much lol😂

[@manuel602602]

Would love to see you putting an actual differential in that defender, would be the best of thecnic and system

[@RacingBrick]

It simply wouldn't fit

[@kb.bit1]

4:04 I literally made my 911 right hand drive for fun 😅😅

[@jamespoler411]

In the future I hope lego Icons could make 288gto Countach 300sl

[@soe_tv]

as far as i know the levers in the car shouldn't be switched for the lhd version except the hand brake (the closest one to the driver) :D

[@Stereomoo]

Interested in a comparison with 10290 Pickup Truck, cause they appear to be similar scale and this costs just shy of twice as much.

[@brickphisto2321]

Funny to see so many people go nuts for the suspension! 😆 Apart from the winscreen and front section of the roof the model looks great. Sadly the price tag will stop me from getting my hands on the set. 😥

[@hdawood81]

Nice review, but not for me. I am happy with the Technic defender with more pieces, more functions, bigger size, HOG steering and most of all, $90 (CAD) less price.

[@_sam_2284]

The second yellow number plate that you didn't put on is the UK spec plate

[@Goldbart99]

@7:35 "Sorry Tiago, this probably won't be your favourite build..." Tiago: "There's definitely better vehicles you can buy at the moment from Lego." You called it... how did you know?😄

[@RacingBrick]

I know his preferences :)

[@jayedd4763]

the registration plate is the original from the first series 1 landy

[@pitifulsmile]

Isn't there a yellow pickup creator with working suspension?

[@RacingBrick]

That's not a Creator Expert set

[@lukeng1002]

How is its size compared with other creator expert vehicles, say the Porsche 911?

[@idonjohnson6999]

The location of the rearview mirror shouldn’t have two options. The mirror is always in the middle, just pivoted left or right depending on what side the steering wheel is.

[@bethcaddy1886]

Did you find the roof to window hard to assemble or have I gone wrong somewhere 😅

[@RacingBrick]

Should not be difficult

Great!

[@pavelspopovics2655]

Really interesteding set, but I assume 42146 Liebherr will be much better. :)

[@nathanli]

is it possible to motorise it?

[@patrickturner479]

Does Lego a version for 140.- bucks with a Turbo-Diesel? BTW: Never buy a Landy with a V8 Petrol Engine.

[@zeehstar01]

Question for designer: I Wonder why they decided to go for a Defender 90, instead of making a 110, with a 90 as an alternative build

[@Andy-fd5fg]

i know what which Lego set I'm getting next month..... just wish it was a Technics version that could be motorised.

[@janberends8303]

This one can also be motorised😉

[@henrymaddocks984]

I wish they had done an older model. I think they are more "iconic"

[@Sebastianraikkonen_actualname]

It's funny how I was looking forward to this model, then saw it, saw it through Lego etc and then the price, put me off it... After this video I want it again... Thanks for that 😑😅

[@matthewjohnson7672]

You asked about the lines plate it's like king Ford garage or persons name. I built this found like in another video rear suspension pols added to soon and exorst is on floor alot. I missed 1 with tools and roof loved of Rd look but windscreen is very loose so needs a roof that is built to big for original look. Loved idea winch built it flicked of top bit so it had lisese plate. Realy a top class model. If you are a land rover off Rd racer get this fast. Discovery of time team is used as well shure that will turn up soon. New defender is rubish save money get this one like new defender is useless it's for lazy people not in to defender Classic is based on willy's jeep with beter handelying in Wales beaches. So u get 2 cars in one why roof of is so good. I am so happy with mine other one on a stand it is dusty this won't get that dusty So go off Rd and be happy roof on or off. Ohh remember willy's jeep windscreen was not always up with tools in back or on sides 🤔

[@EliKirkMusic]

I was gonna make a SpongeBob "I don't need it" joke but that's dumb. I'm buying this the second it comes out just like the delorean, it's getting lonely on that shelf with the Sopwith camel and vw t1

[@josefigueira7415]

Would you say the suspension is difficult to put on? And is the steering mechanism hard to attach onto the suspension

[@RacingBrick]

It depends on your experience. If this is your first set with Technic elements then it might be a challenge, but otherwise it is not that difficult.

[@josefigueira7415]

It’s not my first I have built technic before it’s just had problems with suspension

[@MohammedBham-fe8cr]

I want

[@operaatio5117]

The links seem to lack any triangulation... makes for a sway-y ride.

[@RacingBrick]

This is the fist attempt, let's celebrate their sheer existence :D

[@matthewjohnson7672]

Remember this one is based on willys jeep unlike new one so get 2 in one

[@gamingfanfan3789]

I doubt about this one. Because of Space i sel other vehicles last year. So i doubt of i must started all over again

[@boiledtea479]

You wont believe me how sad i was when i saw the price tag. Theres no way im getting this

[@ryan23370]

Not a fan... Creator cars were a good price. This one is priced to high...

[@xsm2006]

Hello from Russia!

[@ciuffoarancione8929]

Great set at a ridiculous price. Lego were too expensive even years ago. Now prices are out of this world...

[@jamiesworld1690]

Is it worth it plus ask the designer why use string and not chains for the winch plus why use rubber bands for the engine 😊

[@RacingBrick]

All Technic sets have strings for the winch, chains are not practical at all on a LEGO set for this purpose. The rubber band is there to mimic the timing belt.

[@rileymobbs4879]

Wouldn’t need the recovery gear in a Toyota

[@newsmansuper2925]

eh much prefere the tehnic defender it all works heaps of gears

[@Bombiedude.]

I think this set is heavily based off of American vehicle regulations which is why it doesn't really adapt the instructions to British people like the weird relationship with Americans and British people is rather odd to me tbh

[@jacebarbiellelasquite1109]

😎

[@noclipsendre7527]

Te magyar vagy?

[@adamfox264]

I'm sad it's not the same style and scale as the technic Landrover. I would have loved to have them next to each other. I don't think I'll bother now.

[@HIDGEL05]

I think I’d be stupid to have it at that scale, sure it would look good next to the Technic Defender but would stick out against the other Creator Expert models. Also the price for that set would be insane.

[@jt_mallett_ii]

I refuse to accept this is offical it does not look look like a lego branded set

[@zoosool]

Yeah, well i've got myself Chinese lego for like 1\10 the price, so no, thank you.

[@JWNRW59]

Too many great Lego sets, and too little money.

[@justletmepostthis276]

Hipster Legos. Aka "Make my family rich bruh!" LMAO. Nothing of better quality like many other sets that were better than this. LOL.

[@piertjehetsliertje4607]

🎉 First

[@zooropa5722]

Stickers = not gonna buy

[@jonathoncalabrese2035]

Smaller and costs more? Haha not even worth it anymore. It’s so overpriced

[@bubblez9104]

$Jaimes097 if you guys would like to make a small donation of a million dollars to buy this set😞😂😂

[@paulkedwards]

For the number plate: L316 is the Land Rover product number for the old Defender. HUE is a reference to No.1 which was HUE166 - stored at Gaydon Motor museum NR Banbury (England) and it was the light green colour as this was available widely at the time.

[@visoak]

I think the suspension elements is a big step forward in Lego vehicles. Technic cars were always a bit more play and function oriented, while creator cars had the looks. To meet in the middle is, to me, a welcome change and I hope other cars will have gimmicks like this and those found in the DeLorean.

[@warrenmunn3224]

As someone who converts 90% of my builds to Righthand Drive (Movie Replicas stay original Lefthand Drive) the idea of instructions to build Left/Righthand drive is brilliant. Also loving the re-issue of the tyres although the green hubs will be a pain to incorporate into my regular MOCs. Cant wait to have the $$$ to guy it. Although at $380AUD is it a rather expensive set.

[@BassJunkieXL]

sadly super overpriced

[@ineffige]

that's why I stopped buying Lego. I can afford them, but nothing justifies this price. Call me greedy but I hate being ripped off

[@ineffige]

Those huge boxes are ridiculous. Even more when you remind yourself that Lego claims it cares about environment

[@catpro9139]

The thing is the customer is more likely to spend so mich money on a bigger box rather than a samll one

[@ineffige]

@@catpro9139 I understand it, but I can't get passed hypicrosiy. I would respect them more if they admitted openly "we're greedy bastards, in it for the money" instead of this bs posture. Also, it makes their decision to switch to crappier but biodegradable materials laughable. It's obvious they wanted lego not to last so you would buy more later on.

[@The_Real_JN]

It's not even a big box tbh

[@MushroomSmuggler]

​@@ineffige Dude come on, it's recyclable cardboard box, and the bricks being biodegradable is not something that's going to affect you during your lifetime? Unless you keep all your lego outside

[@octobotimus]

You can’t question our lego overlords. Just consume product and say it’s good.

[@thomaswyatt199]

The most similar set to this one would be the technic mack truck which is one of my favorite technic sets with a perfect blend of technic and brick building. The sad part is it cost $130 more than what I paid for the technic land rover set new at $330 cad and still having stickers.
