Seems like the perfect set for people who are just getting their Lego Technic collections started - has all the transmission pieces you could ever need, fully independent double wishbone suspension, steering wheel, differentials, good wheels and tires - all you would need afterwards would be motors (which are easy to purchase separately). This set looks like a great start for beginning Lego vehicle engineers. I could easily see someone using the parts from this set to build a sports car, etc.
It has some interesting Quirks and Features. I wonder if it comes with Bumper to Bumper warranty. This must be the best looking of the Technic licenced cars. As you said, it looks even better than the real thing.
I must say I do agree that they would be useless on any other set, but I really feel like the set wouldn't have looked anywhere near as polished if they have built such curved and angular parts with multiple pieces, we probably would have gotten a flimsy square mudguard.
I think these are very important parts which shape a car or any vehicle having them. If it would have some random shape, it would not look as great as it does now. Its part of a very important design feature.
I must agree, this is the best-looking LEGO off-roader to date, and one of the best-looking Technic models, on par with the Chiron. I must also agree with your mudguard gripe: it messes with the purpose of LEGO. AAAAND finally I also agree with the transmission problem. I'd love to see a motorized shifter mechanism like in the 8043 incorporated into the next giant crane, or maybe a CVT in a vehicle. Great review, and thank you.
If I got this set, the i would definitely order more of the green colour and turn it into a pickup. I think it was awesome that you added the "magic card" aspect.
I enjoy how you went through ALL the details in the model, gives you a really good idea of what you're getting before you drop 200 dollars on this stuff.
That depends on the country you're in. In Australia and New Zealand we have to fork out AU$330 and NZ$400 respectively. So I wouldn't say it's reasonably priced at all. More like overpriced.
@@quintinseegers7317 It is reasonably priced. It's long known that LEGO follows the pricing according to their US prices. This set cost USD199.99. Converted from AU$330, it's roughly USD230. Converted from NZ$400, it's roughly USD268. For my country, Singapore, it retails for SGD299 or USD222. However, for me, I have the option of buying it online at a much cheaper price (Below retail + promo codes from application), so it cost SGD200 for me, or roughly USD148.50 Come to think of it, now that I compare the prices, I think either your retailers selling LEGOs are jacking up the price to make a profit or the custom import cost to your country is high. Yeah, but for me, I am able to get this set @ USD148.50 online locally so it does not matter. Oh BTW I bought the batmobile set @ SGD243 (Or USD180) using the same online platform. And before anyone of you asks, that platform is exclusively for Singaporeans only. They don't allow to ship internationally.
I love that you now make these Trading Cards for every Set. It's a nice Summary of the Review and so far every one was similar to my thoughts! I think a lot of people can agree with the "effects" you give the Sets as a Magical Item.
I have the same feeling as you, nice set but not really the lego philosophy, but I am sure this type of set (like the porsche chiron) enable lego to gain more customers.
Do you think it’d possible to extend this to a 4 door and then motorise it? I’m torn between this set and the 4x4 off-roader (kind of prefer this except for the motorising challenge - surprised they didn’t allow for it a bit tbh)
Hello Sariel, I’m putting this set together and I checked with your video to make sure of a step i didn’t think I did correctly. Turns out I did. Thanks
What? An Apple for scale. I'm absolutly dissapointet. Pleas use a banana in further videos. By the way. Thank you for all the Reviews you made. I really appreciate your neutral view.
There is different size of bananas on the market, branded and cheap chinese made ones. Apple on the otherhand is ISO standard, always expensive as F, exclusive and grow on trees like bananas.
I want to buy it! If they will lower the prices a little bit, i buy it. It has very good parts and very much that i could never buy from my country or use
I don't have 42069, but judging by the functions and looks 42110 (which I have) is better. I mean, a 4 speed transmission, a 2 speed transmission, a full double wishbone indep. suspension versus full live axle suspension, no transmission, and an opening roof? 42110 is the clear winner for me.
Indeed 42069´s weakest point is the lack of a transmission, on the other hand there´s more room to put motors in! It was the first set after my dark ages and one major buying point was the live axle suspension (AFAIK the first time in a Lego set) like the real old Defender, old Landcruisers etc. have. Also the door mechanism is really cool and could be on a RL very expensive custom vehicle. I moded mine with wheels (quickly changed back to the tracks), very happy with it, a dream project for the future would be to throw 4 buggy motors in! The transmission of 42110 with 4*2+R gears is very realistic (although the real one is rather 5*2 or 6*2), in fact this video changed my mind about the set and I´m thinking of buying it. The only downfall is this shitty fake engine! My personal problem is that I have a real pre-Defender Land Rover, and the new Defender is absolutley meaningless to me, to be honest it doesn´t deserve the Land Rover badge! 42069 has no centre diff, 42110 has a open centre diff! For both Sets I´d rather have a lockable centre diff! Will we ever see that in a official Set? In the end both Sets will look great sitting toghether on the shelf: One representing a highly customized serious Offroader (in my eyes it´s a Toyota Land Cruiser), the other one a SUV looking like all modern SUVs, with the badge of an serious Offroader!

I got this kit from a thrift store for 75 bucks earlier today... already built. Sometime during the summer school vacation (I drive a school bus) I'm gonna tear the thing down and build it myself. I generally HATE "Technic" due to all the small pieces and elaborate builds. I prefer regular old Lego. But, on the other hand I appreciate Technic for the various things it adds to a build.
what i would have liked to see is a drivetrain with 4x4 function switched on or off. where the differentials can be locked including the front and rear wheels. but i dont know if the defender has such a function in reality at all.
I feel like the reason they dont really do B models anymore is because they haven't done that many big non-branded technic sets, so it probably is for licensing issues as they would have to have a separate vehicle from the same brand, which would require more pieces and higher price
Hey there, I have a question. I got in trouble, because after putting the gearbox and rear suspensoin together, the transmission don’t work proper anymore, because there are two gears locking each other. Did you have the same issue?😳 I hope you can help me out🥺. It is very beautiful, it would be very sad if it doesn’t work. Nice video👍👍
I was very careful when assembling the huge gearbox system but I guess I did something wrong because the engine pistons aren't always moving, most often they don't do anything.
28:03 I disagree. Even in Creator sets there are specific parts for fenders. You can use them as fenders or something else, like a decorative element for some kind of gate, for example.
Dear Sariel, I am a long time Lego fan, but not so much of the Technic range, even if I appreciate many of some released sets and would buy one or two a year if my budget was not already dedicated to SW and Ninjago. But I do appreciate your videos and reviews, the way you complete them with comments and more than anything the fact that your opinions are always as objective as possible (or so it seems to me, because as it is your opinion it's obviously subjective, but I think not that influenced by the fact that Lego provides you many sets for review. Lucky guy!) So thank you for allowing us to discover and appreciate sets that many of us will never get because : 1)one has to make sometimes hard choices in life and /or 2) because Lego can be an expensive hobby and passion and, but for a very few people, it's impossible to purchase each single set we would like to. So sincere thanks for your work. I have now a question. Are you left-handed? The way you turn the pages of the leaflet made me think of it. Thank you.
I'd pick the Bugatti personally, it offers the most value for its price and it feels most rewarding. Unless you're heavily into off-road vehicles, in which case go with the Land Rover.
Will you try to make a motorised version? That would be really cool to see. The two transmissions are kind of overkill anyways Also, FINALLY a set where the suspension is not too stiff on an original lego model.
I was so excited to buy this set because it checked all my requirements for a SUV model. No real size fake engine was a let down for me so I have to wait for a better one.
monjazebr You can always mod it and swap out the engine pieces for the regular technic engine block and piston pieces, although it’ll look out of proportion at this scale.
All right, for a kid aged 9-12 (and any AFOL of course), I can see this being as interesting as 8880 Supercar was for me back in the 90's, it's actually a neat product with a reasonable price. I am happy it's not motorized - it would be disappointingly slow, as usual.
I'm gonna have to break in to my stash of grey 3x pins for those guards - the blue just clashes. I don't understand why Technic insists on only blue for those pins - they used to be grey so why can't they be grey now. Thanks for a great review - I enjoy building the sets more when your speed build tells me how any particular stage fits into the finished set.
@@searme True today, but in the 1980s full friction 3L pins were grey, then went to black in the 1990s, then blue. brickset.com/parts/655826/connector-peg-w-friction-3m I have all 3 in my drawer, and I reckon the grey will go well with the olive green.
Just a random thought that popped up: maybe Lego Technic's transmissions would make more sense if the lower gears somehow introduced more friction in the drive train, slowing down the movement of the car when you push it along. When you switch to a higher gear, the car becomes easier to push along and thus goes faster. Obviously, the change in piston movement frequency in the engine would still remain. I have no idea how to implement all of this though.
You said 2/3 of the engine block is useless and later: it's not possible to motorize... Can we just replace the fake motorblock with a LEGO motor? I understand we need place for the battery (maybe at the roof?) but a motor can fit under the hood? I also not understand why transmission exists without a working motor. Ok this set is still a "must have" for me. It's just my questions.
I have to disagree about the point with the mud guards. I actually really like that Lego is making those, as they really help make the models look complete. And who says they can't be used for anything else? They most certainly can! You just need to be more imaginative. Make a giant space ship and use them as engine shaping or something. Lego has used them on previous sets for other various body shaping as well. I just hope we get to see this new mudguard in other colors soon. Olive Green is nice, but it'd be nice to get a neutral color like white or black.
1. The LEGO Group produces the Technic model with gearbox that distribute the rotation to different features like doors, hood, trunk opening etc. Fans react like "uhh, fake gearbox! It doesn't change the gears, who needs these pointless functions? Let's blame them!" 2. The LEGO Group produces the Technic model with gearbox that really change the gears allowing to have different ratio betwen the engine and wheels. Fans react like "uhh, boring gearbox! It just change the gears, who needs these different speeds? Let's blame them!" Great review except of that unfair thing. Well done!
A real bummer that there's no B-model. Especially because the BMW bike had one and that one had a really cool crossover to a real vehicle (even if it didn't work). It's a good looking model though!
My 4-speed gearbox is generating excessive friction, so much that the gears connecting the DNR and hi/lo selector are skipping in 3rd/lo. Is this normal, and if not, what was I doing wrong?
Had similar problem. In the D position and LO-1 gear everything is quite fine, but trouble start on higher gears. At some point there is so much friction the engine stops and all axles start to bend. When I move the wheels and then hold them and then release them, they move in the opposite direction like in a pull-back car. Doing what Sariel did at 19:10-19:15 is impossible in my set. I'm still assembling it, I'm at the end of bags number 2 (before chairs) so this probably is the last point to fix but tracking which gear or axle causes friction is rather impossible. And I was always considering myself as an experienced builder :/ EDIT: on the highest gear, i.e. HI-4, I can move the wheels, everything bends and it's harder and harder to move the wheels but eventually the rest of the axles move and the pistons move. But the tension is still really high there and I'm afraid that I can destroy the fragile angled axle joiners so I will probably never use the higher gears :/
I love your videos! I'm building a Lego Lexus LC500 and want to use your Model Scaler it make it 1:8 scale with the Porsche rims and tires. I tried everything with the blueprints but can't get it to scale, I would love if you could scale it for me and teach me how to properly use it.
Sariel's LEGO® Workshop Yes I have the book it’s extremely helpful for me. However, the blueprints from blueprints.com shows that the wheels for the LC500 are 22.6 in which is 2.6 in larger than they should be. I am very confused, do you ever find blueprints to be off?
A great review as always, Sariel! Totally agree that metallic green would have been the better color choice for this model. Too bad this licensed set does not include any info in the instructions about the real car, designer, etc. like the Porsche, Bugatti, Volvo. I also wonder why the gearbox is switched and wasn't made ready for motorization. I like your Defender much better as it represents an iconic vehicle. LEGO should have made the old Defender, but then people would have complained about the lookalike to the Ideas entry.
Czy można odczepić nadwozie od 42110 i zamontować je na podwoziu z 42099? Jeśli nie, to czy jest dość miejsca żeby zamontować elektrykę z 42099 w miejsce skrzyni biegów z 42110?
Faktycznie skrzynia biegów spory przerost formy nad treścią i lekkie rozczarowanie.

28:00 I'm with you on mudguards... It's like Duplo where an airplane is built from two pieces: left side of an airplane and right side of an airplane.

This one, Bugatti, and Porsche Orange GT3 RS. Which one do recommend for first purchase? :) and if only could have one, which one is best?
I'd pick the Bugatti personally, it offers the most value for its price and it feels most rewarding. Unless you're heavily into off-road vehicles, in which case go with the Land Rover.
Will you try to make a motorised version? That would be really cool to see. The two transmissions are kind of overkill anyways
Also, FINALLY a set where the suspension is not too stiff on an original lego model.
Nope, I like the pugerized version better.
@@searme I cannot fight that straight and factual logic. My apologies for my stupidity
Great review as always Sariel. Im definitely keen on this set
great review, thanks! love the Pugerization also :)
Great job Sariel
I was so excited to buy this set because it checked all my requirements for a SUV model. No real size fake engine was a let down for me so I have to wait for a better one.
monjazebr You can always mod it and swap out the engine pieces for the regular technic engine block and piston pieces, although it’ll look out of proportion at this scale.
"And now we see the 4 speed transmission with a CHIRON SELECTOR" Wahey!
For some reason, the engine doesn’t move when I set it to any of the gears :/
That looks sophisticated. Nice. : )
2 stud lift kit and those big Claas tires to it, dump the transmission and put XL motor in it to make it real offroader.
All right, for a kid aged 9-12 (and any AFOL of course), I can see this being as interesting as 8880 Supercar was for me back in the 90's, it's actually a neat product with a reasonable price. I am happy it's not motorized - it would be disappointingly slow, as usual.
Hmm so now I need a pug and a LEGO set!
This set is clearly not lego technic.
There’s not enough gaping holes
you didn’t get th joke. most lego technic sets have large holes in the bodywork lol
oh they deleted the reply lol
I put the video on 2x speed and the music sounded so happy and sarials arms were blurry
I'm gonna have to break in to my stash of grey 3x pins for those guards - the blue just clashes.
I don't understand why Technic insists on only blue for those pins - they used to be grey so why can't they be grey now.
Thanks for a great review - I enjoy building the sets more when your speed build tells me how any particular stage fits into the finished set.
Grey pins are frictionless pins, blue pins are pins with friction. Not the same piece.
@@searme True today, but in the 1980s full friction 3L pins were grey, then went to black in the 1990s, then blue.

I have all 3 in my drawer, and I reckon the grey will go well with the olive green.
wow, so much difference in color between lego photos and real toy.
Just a random thought that popped up: maybe Lego Technic's transmissions would make more sense if the lower gears somehow introduced more friction in the drive train, slowing down the movement of the car when you push it along. When you switch to a higher gear, the car becomes easier to push along and thus goes faster. Obviously, the change in piston movement frequency in the engine would still remain. I have no idea how to implement all of this though.
Actually, 42110 does have that feature and it's rather annoying.
How many pieces make up the engine block?
You said 2/3 of the engine block is useless and later: it's not possible to motorize... Can we just replace the fake motorblock with a LEGO motor? I understand we need place for the battery (maybe at the roof?) but a motor can fit under the hood? I also not understand why transmission exists without a working motor. Ok this set is still a "must have" for me. It's just my questions.
It's the transmission that you should replace to get plenty of room for motors.
Dont these vehicles support the old technic figures?
Sariel, how do you make your videos? I also have the 42110 but I want to make a video about it.
With a camera, mostly.
Z wielką przyjemnością ułożyłbym taki zestaw.
I have to disagree about the point with the mud guards. I actually really like that Lego is making those, as they really help make the models look complete. And who says they can't be used for anything else? They most certainly can! You just need to be more imaginative. Make a giant space ship and use them as engine shaping or something. Lego has used them on previous sets for other various body shaping as well.
I just hope we get to see this new mudguard in other colors soon. Olive Green is nice, but it'd be nice to get a neutral color like white or black.
Sariel are you gonna do a review on the Liebherr when it comes out? I'd like to see it
Review coming September 26th.
1. The LEGO Group produces the Technic model with gearbox that distribute the rotation to different features like doors, hood, trunk opening etc. Fans react like "uhh, fake gearbox! It doesn't change the gears, who needs these pointless functions? Let's blame them!"
2. The LEGO Group produces the Technic model with gearbox that really change the gears allowing to have different ratio betwen the engine and wheels. Fans react like "uhh, boring gearbox! It just change the gears, who needs these different speeds? Let's blame them!"
Great review except of that unfair thing. Well done!
What we really want is a motorized model with a gearbox :)
A real bummer that there's no B-model. Especially because the BMW bike had one and that one had a really cool crossover to a real vehicle (even if it didn't work). It's a good looking model though!
My 4-speed gearbox is generating excessive friction, so much that the gears connecting the DNR and hi/lo selector are skipping in 3rd/lo. Is this normal, and if not, what was I doing wrong?
Had similar problem. In the D position and LO-1 gear everything is quite fine, but trouble start on higher gears. At some point there is so much friction the engine stops and all axles start to bend. When I move the wheels and then hold them and then release them, they move in the opposite direction like in a pull-back car. Doing what Sariel did at 19:10-19:15 is impossible in my set. I'm still assembling it, I'm at the end of bags number 2 (before chairs) so this probably is the last point to fix but tracking which gear or axle causes friction is rather impossible. And I was always considering myself as an experienced builder :/ EDIT: on the highest gear, i.e. HI-4, I can move the wheels, everything bends and it's harder and harder to move the wheels but eventually the rest of the axles move and the pistons move. But the tension is still really high there and I'm afraid that I can destroy the fragile angled axle joiners so I will probably never use the higher gears :/
I love your videos! I'm building a Lego Lexus LC500 and want to use your Model Scaler it make it 1:8 scale with the Porsche rims and tires. I tried everything with the blueprints but can't get it to scale, I would love if you could scale it for me and teach me how to properly use it.
Luckily, my book has an entire chapter just on scaling: www.amazon.com/Unofficial-LEGO-Technic-Builders-Guide/dp/1593277601
Sariel's LEGO® Workshop Yes I have the book it’s extremely helpful for me. However, the blueprints from blueprints.com shows that the wheels for the LC500 are 22.6 in which is 2.6 in larger than they should be. I am very confused, do you ever find blueprints to be off?
I WANT THIS
24:08 some big cat is playing peek-a-boom :D
A great review as always, Sariel! Totally agree that metallic green would have been the better color choice for this model. Too bad this licensed set does not include any info in the instructions about the real car, designer, etc. like the Porsche, Bugatti, Volvo. I also wonder why the gearbox is switched and wasn't made ready for motorization. I like your Defender much better as it represents an iconic vehicle. LEGO should have made the old Defender, but then people would have complained about the lookalike to the Ideas entry.
Czy można odczepić nadwozie od 42110 i zamontować je na podwoziu z 42099? Jeśli nie, to czy jest dość miejsca żeby zamontować elektrykę z 42099 w miejsce skrzyni biegów z 42110?
Nadwozie nie zdejmuje się w całości, a co do reszty to kwestia tego ile pozmieniasz i co usuniesz.
The suspension is different. Some technic suspension are stiff
Uhh... If you can't motorize it, for what lego making gearbox that can't motorized?
Using such a complex transmission on this set is like holding shift with caps lock on.
holding shift with caps lock on actually makes sense if you want to type a single lower case letter ;-)
Does the cylinder move when you push it on ground? Mine won't but it moves if I spin the wheel like in the video.
Depends on how you set the transmission and usually very slowly.
@@searme I got it fixed. Two differential were not in the same direction. Thanks for your reply.
Faktycznie skrzynia biegów spory przerost formy nad treścią i lekkie rozczarowanie. Złożyłem swojego wczoraj po północy, po skończeniu chciałem przejechać kawałek, ale okazało się, że stawia straszny opór i słychać przeskakiwanie zębatek. Poszedłem spać z przekonaniem, że w trakcie budowy popełniłem jakiś błąd. Dzisiaj okazało się że przy ustawieniu Hi oraz 4 biegu opór jest tak duży, że skrzynia oraz silnik nie chcą się kręcić. 🤷♂️
