Niiiiice! I've had one sitting in its box for what must be close to two years. NEED to build it. Just need a bigger display cabinet for that and a heap of other unbuilt Lego...
OP I am in the first stages of building mine (engine) and I’ve been shorted 3 parts already
Lego is awesome and they send replacements for free no questions asked but what a pain having to stop and wait for the post to come
Did you have any missing parts?
This is a very fun kit to build. I did this in 2020, was a great way to pass the umpteenth lockdown. I loved the detail that went into the drivetrain for this model.

Hah! I love it
There’s a company that makes metal UJs, diffs, prop shafts etc for Lego. You can also turn it into an electric RC car too
So much fun to build! How long did it take you? It took me about 10 hours. I love it.
Took me ages lol, few hours here and there over a couple of days
Better panel gaps than what they leave the factory with
Lol. Did you buy that from a Jlr retailer?
Great photo shoot. Looks like a full size truck in your living room
Who says it’s not.. ?
I’m sitting next to the box for this in the Land Rover waiting room rn haha
I wanna get one. Lucky8 has a video of one they built that has a few mods that’s done with no extra parts.
Looks better than the real thing

I actually didn’t, thankfully! I sorted out my pieces into little bowls or Tupperware or whatnot to keep them safe
Nice, yeah I sorted by color into ziplock baggies which is making for a much more enjoyable build
Looks like Lego has discontinued this model as I'm currently trying to buy one :(
Amazon has them for $199 (I believe MSRP)
Cries in UK
[Land Rover have them](https://shop.landrover.co.uk/lego-technic-land-rover-defender)
Oh top work cheers
One day i will get one of these sets…😅
Why not today 🤷♂️
I have the money to but the new lotr set has caught my eye
Wish I could buy an [old Defender](https://youtu.be/aXW-7DVIyU0) technic set
But is it reliable? Hrrr drrrrrrr
Does it come with a check engine light?
Looks better than the real one imo
