Cumulonimbus Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) Forgive me a spot of speculation: if the rumor of 2573 parts without control+ is correct, what scale can we expect for this set? Should the it be standing on Unimog wheels and tires like the Defender 110 @Sheepo designed a couple of years ago (which had 3442 parts including a lot of PF)? Or are those wheels too big and will it become a smaller scale set where a lot of parts go into the detailing like the 41078 Mack truck (which has about the same part count)?

Bartybum Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) @Cumulonimbus I'd expect something in a similar scale to 42069, maybe slightly smaller, since many of those parts I predict will be tanked into bodywork Edited June 21, 2019 by Bartybum Quote

efferman Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 for tires i would guess we will get the 62.4 Quote
1gor Posted June 21, 2019 Author Posted June 21, 2019 Just now, efferman said: for tires i would guess we will get the 62.4 Could be 1:12 scale, but tires will be different like this If there will be pickup 110 version then 62.4 tires are very good choice, but I don't think there will be possible to fit in almost 2500 parts (if it will be Offroader only without trailer or some auxiliary equipment) Quote
lightningtiger Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 Ah, I know I'm usually in the city forum but seeing the title of the topic.......yeah, wasn't there a rejected 10K supported Landrover set idea on Ideas once ;) Quote

Lobot Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 42110 has been listed on the UK Smyths website (with an image!) - RRP is £159.99 but no release date - 2573 parts. Quote

Ngoc Nguyen Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 Quote This collectible model of the Land Rover Defender really captures the vehicle’s level of refinement with its clean, modern lines and sculpted surfaces, making it a great display piece for the home or office. Developed in partnership with Land Rover, this building toy has working steering, 4-speed sequential gearbox, All Wheel Drive with 3 differentials, independent suspension, detailed in-line 6-cylinder engine and a working winch. Say goodbye to your retirement savings. Quote

mpj Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 This is one of the best Lego Technic years (similar to 2016) !! Quote
1gor Posted June 21, 2019 Author Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) It is beautiful Interesting us that Landy uses rims that were circulating when unofficial images of 42099 were spreading all over... And tires look like from 42000 set? Edited June 21, 2019 by I_Igor Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 What a great time to be alive (and a Lego Technic fan)! Quote
Cumulonimbus Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) Looks good at first sight. A bit bulky maybe, but so might the real thing. I was not prepared for that color though, I imagine that it will make modding it without buying a second set near to impossible (but that might just be the intention). Another surprise to me is that it is the short wheelbase version, not the 110 version. As mentioned before, I would have imagined this as the B-model. Edited June 21, 2019 by Cumulonimbus Quote
1gor Posted June 21, 2019 Author Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) Detailed on-line 6 cylinder engine...I just hope not another Mack Anthem like engine ... Discovery has V6 engines, so I was hoping it could be used in Defender as well... Edited June 23, 2019 by I_Igor Quote
Yevhen Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 I. Do. Want. This!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope it has more functions than that white Porsche, that I hate. Quote

It is supposed to be launched in October, so this set really is the first glimpse of the real car. EDIT: @Ngoc Nguyen: that is an artistic rendering of a motor journal, not a picture of the final car. It misses important Defender details such as the skylight windows in the rear, the iconic angle in the roof and the squared wheel arches. The fact that the leaked images of the set has these are very good clues for the real car. Edited June 21, 2019 by Cumulonimbus Quote
1gor Posted June 21, 2019 Author Posted June 21, 2019 @Ngoc Nguyen it us just rendering based on speculations but it us very close to real one. Quote

Yes, now imagine those on M.A.N...that was something I was thinking about every day driving to work and home when I overtake TGS... Quote
