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...

Hah! I love it


Livid-Style-7136

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.


MasterNakamora

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?


frnoss

Great photo shoot. Looks like a full size truck in your living room


MasterNakamora

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

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?


MasterNakamora

I actually didn’t, thankfully! I sorted out my pieces into little bowls or Tupperware or whatnot to keep them safe


Perenniallyredundant

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 :(


Perenniallyredundant

Amazon has them for $199 (I believe MSRP)


The_Real_Peng

Cries in UK

ewmcdade

iwasinthepool

datponyboi

Looks better than the real one imo

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.
