LEGO Technic 42110 Land Rover Defender, Maquette de Voiture a Construire, Idée Cadeau Jouet pour Enfant de 11 ans et +

Who does not like Lego, bought this for myself over the Christmas period to build - always fun to do never gets old building with Lego .Enjoyment still there- this was a great Lego set and a fairly large set to complete and looks great when complete . Great value for the price

A great Lego model to possess. Also buy the lights to go inside. Not to be used as a toy, best placed on a shelf.

Brilliant and a great gift

I have a bunch of Technic Lego sets, everything from quite small to some 2,000+ pieces sets. Each new generation of Technic seems to improve. This is the best set I have in terms of build, features and aesthetics. It comes with a single instruction booklet but its a big one with almost 1,000 steps but the steps are broken down really nicely with some pages being just a couple of parts. The 15 odd bags of parts are also broken down into 4 major steps so that you don't have to open everything at once. They've also mixed up the build so that you don't end up building the same thing twice straight after each other, which is a pet hate of mine. There are a lot of features in this but highlights are; GREAT suspension, winch, all doors opening, great interior detail and the EPIC gearbox. The gearbox is both a highlight and a lowlight. On the one side it makes for a very challenging and mechanically interesting build, but at the same time its quite hard to push the model around the floor and really see what the gearbox is doing.....to really test it, you end up flipping it on its side and spinning the wheels by hand to watch what is going on. It's a very well designed model with no corners cut and ends up being a very sturdy model that you could happily give to an older child to play with, without too much worry about it getting broken. In my case, its now sat on a display shelf and looks superb (alongside the Ducati Corse motorbike, which is another fantastic looking model). In fact, the body is so well put together that at first glance it looks more like a plastic model than a piece of Lego. I didn't rush my build and I think I got a good 10 hours of fun build time, which is a good amount. Totally recommended.

Truly remarkable model and, for the complexity and number of pieces, good value too. Not an easy build in that some smaller gears are harder to identify - err towards the smallest gear when putting the gearbox and transfer case together. Deeply impressive transmission system wrapped in a good likeness of a new Defender. Clever assembly system does allow you to build it and remove the panels later to review the mechanism and suspension. Actually easy to push around and “drive” so younger kids can explore it even if the build is considered beyond their skills. It’s Lego - what kids might find hard is the time and patience needed. Mine was missing four pieces - so one mirror can’t be fitted yet and the bonnet has a black bit instead of green. But it’s Lego and a Land Rover. I’m calling it character until I get the missing bits. Hefty and just really impressive when built, if you choose just one lego Technic car to make this year, make it this one.

I ummed and ahhed about spending this much on a Lego set, but when I finally took the plunge, I had a great time building this, despite the fact that there were a couple of pieces missing. Didn't think I could downgrade it a whole star though as the parts were sent reasonably quickly, even the piece that was out of stock. I'd be lying if I said it didn't spoil the build a little, since after the first missing part, I was constantly expecting more, but in terms of the wait, I'd never planned on building it quickly anyway, There was an issue with the driveshafts on the build but according to the interweb, you simply have to make sure you properly align the centres of the 2 universal joints and then you're all good. To be fair the instructions show it being built this way but you have to be fairly eagle eyed to spot it. Finished, it hangs together really well. I chose the set partly because I'm interested in the new Defender but also the shape lends itself well to being made out of bricks. Overall, it looks great on the shelf, once it's done. Though I'm considering tearing it down and building it again just for the fun of it.

Brought as a present, even better that it was on sale at the time so the price was a lot cheaper. Each section comes individually pack. It took my husband a while to build as there are a lot of pieces. Instructions were straight forward for an adult and the final finish looks great

Received gift vouchers for Christmas that equalled the cost of this, so what else could I do but buy it? Kept me busy for about a dozen hours over the evenings of a week. Amazing detail and construction, even if it's not exactly a true likeness of the real thing. Ideally you need a large building area plus a handful of bowls into which the parts from each stage of the build can be tipped into, and a lot of patience! (and no kids or pets to hide or eat any of the pieces). Extremely rewarding to reach the conclusion and have a complete working model - doors open, steering works, gearbox works with 4 speeds and 2 ranges, plus reverse and neutral. Kit is for left-hand drive but apparently by mirroring the build, you can end up with an RHD version - I wish I had the money to buy another kit and try !
