Land Rover Defender Reviews
Eurobricks
“Proper gearbox? Check. Proper suspension? Check. Proper steering? Check. Working steering wheel? Check. Some other extra-ordinary functions (like ride height adjustment)? Not really. A winch, but that hardly counts. Does the lack of extra function prevent this car from being... More called a supercar? I honestly don't think so. This is a very well designed car, with very well working functionality. This model is most definitely one of the best Technic cars TLG has designed.”

“The 42110 Land Rover is a great build and the gear box and is a pleasure to watch. So many gears of course also have a drawback: backlash. If you want to see the engine move you will have to drive for a considerable distance before all the accumulated backlash is resolved... More and the pistons start moving. When they do it is a nice sight though.”

“If you've been a fan of any of LEGO Technic's previous licensed street vehicles, then you'll find a lot to love here with a solid build, complex mechanicals, and a great color scheme. The removable roof rack and extra cargo boxes are fun and the suspension delightful. And of... More course, there are all the new elements, both wholly new and newly olive green, to excite longtime Technic fans. The $200 price point for more than 2,500 pieces makes the set a fair deal, especially for a high-profile licensed product. So if you're ready to leave the slick city streets and their Technic supercars and head to the wilderness, the Land Rover Defender is an excellent way to start.”

The epitome of engineering by the Lego group — “As is ever apparent with Lego Technic, the visual aesthetic of the model is unheard of. The pictures on the box that holds the model is incredible, yet does not constitute the grand beauty that beholds the model in person. The dark lime green is iconic with Land Rover and... More the Technic group did a magnificent job creating this fairly new color in multiple parts. The sticker detailing in the cabin and everywhere else where they are placed captured the energy of this prominent vehicle. Comparing it with the other Technic models I own, this model is something special. While building it, my father was astonished at how large and gorgeous it was in person. It is very large and dwarfs any other model that it is placed next to. Even the detail of the back tire, which has a hidden function, made the vehicle come alive even more.”

About Technic
TECHNIC is one of The LEGO Company's main lines based on creating detailed model machines and mechanical toys with specialized beams, axles, gears and connectors and primarily designed for older children and adults. The theme was first introduced as the Expert Builder series in 1977, but was officially renamed as TECHNIC in 1984. TECHNIC is still an active theme, and is one of the longest running themes in LEGO history. While most TECHNIC sets are vehicles that use pieces to mimic real vehicles, such as engine pieces, suspension, pneumatic, and transmission pieces, the TECHNIC parts have been used by various other System themes as well as LEGO Mindstorms.
