I am a Lego Technic collection since 1980s. I own legendary sets like 8880, 8479 and in recent times Mercedes Arocs Truck, Porsche 911, Extreme Off-roader etc. You can check my reviews of other Lego sets. I had very high hope of this Land Rover, especially with 4 sequential gears x 2 Hi-Lo sets, totalling in 8 speed reductions. After opening the box I found 21 packets, marked 1 to 4 + wheels/tyres + stickers. The cha…

This car is amazing. When you compare with the Lamborghini Sian, you realise that there isn't gaps between pieces like with lots of other technic sets. The functionalities are interesting (winch, boot with functioning "handle", gearbox with high/low mode), but it is more of an exposition set than a technic built for functionalities. The complexity is perfect : neither to complex nor to easy, good for the price. I per…

I guess this set made me think a lot, because it turns out I had a lot to say about it! So if you want to know if this set is for you just read the short version, and perhaps my conclusions at the very end. But if you are interested, the long-read below will take you along my journey from not knowing what this set was to the experience of building and interacting with it. Short version 3 /5 Overall Rating - It's clos…

So here goes only my 2nd attempt at writing a review. This time I have chosen the model I have probably been most excited to get my hands on in recent years, the new Land Rover Defender. The finished set is bigger than I anticipated, even with the dimensions being readily available, and towers over the VW T1 Camper Van it is currently displayed next to. The build itself is a really positive challenge. The complexity …

I bought this set for my 32 birthday. Last time i had honour to play with Lego was approximately 18 years ago (damn i'm old :D). It was not as chellanging as it was a little time consuming regarding that i do not have a lot of free time because of the work and stuff... I managed to put it together in few day. For the last stretch i had to push myself because i'm not used to putting things together for such long time …

Complicated, yet satisfying! It had been a while since I last attempted this complex of a model from Technic. When the original leaks came out about this set in early summer, I was shocked as how beautiful the set appeared by the box art. Nothing about the model deterred me from yanking over the money for this model. The intense amount of details that were jam-packed into the set are unsurpassed by any other model fr…
