LEGO teases Land Rover announcement!

I'm glad I'm not the only person who has that as their first thought when thinking of Land Rovers

Wait until Brickset learns that Land Rover has a military configuration. (Largely not used anymore, but apparently the British Army still uses one specific model.)

Bring it on! I'm only 5 or 6 vehicles behind in my building :)
I was wondering why they'd release a Land Rover as the 'icon' car given there's a Technic one already. But it does look great in the video!

"British Jeep, basically"
Ah, that explains it lol. Thanks for the info!

I was more interested in trying to work out where they filmed it, rather than the nonsense tease.

You are thinking of Range Rover. :)

Only 6.... Luxury. I've still got the VW T1 waiting to be built!

It would be pretty difficult to surpass the 42110 Technic Landrover defender, with it's 4 gear speed box, steering, winch etc., while still having a plush interior and bodywork styling.

My opinion is that these teasers are G.......................G . The blanks will be revealed at a later date."

my guess was: g..o..b..b..l..e..d..i..g..o..o..k but then it finishes with a k. I second the motion: they piss me off more than they pique my interest. Am I the only one who misses the time of two catalogues per year, and then you plan what you will get until the next catalogue...

I am extremely chuffed about this (did I do that right?). Also, I second the call for an Icons Bronco (or an Icon, which also works).

When do we get an Irish Rover?

...or a Mars rover?

So it’ll be expensive and break easily? (I’m sure I’m conflating Range Rover and Land Rover, but it seemed like a Lego joke was there somewhere) :)

WDYM it's only been as long since the last LEGO one as it was between the actual Curiosity and Perseverance landing! It's basically no time at all :)

On the fourth of July, 1806

Ah, that VW is one of them. Actually, both camper vans are waiting to be built.

I have been waiting eagelry for this set, let's hope Lego get it right.

You did it mighty fine, partner!

I hope they do it in a nice color like Earth Green (aka Dark Green or British Racing Green) and not something boring like the Olive Green they did the last Land Rover in. Or Sand Yellow (aka Dark Tan), that's another color often associated with old-school Land Rovers.

It sounds strange to me that the question has been asked as to what a Land Rover is. They must be very rare in the USA then?

Usually they will pick a colour that hasn't been used before. So something (dark) tan would stand a good chance. Or bright blue, or sand blue.

It'd be cool if you followed that map and you found a copy of the set...

It's kinda fun to read how you wrote that article. I mean, you probably already have the model in your hands. haha.

They had better make a Gen I or Gen II Land Rover. Classic 1950s. The later models are rather generic. By the way, has anyone converted Lego's Land Rover Defender into Vera's Land Rover (from the TV show 'Vera'), or the St Marie Police Land Rover from the TV show 'Death in Paradise'?

I was hoping for a Series I, II or III but I guess we‘ll get a Defender 110 with additional building instruction to build a Defender 90 in which case you‘ll have to buy two copies of the set. A Series III would be my favourite.

Basically a brick on wheels. Should be a breeze for Lego to do.

I'm on board with anything but the current Land Rover range. The current Defender, Evoque, Range Rover, etc. do nothing for me. The Defender, Series I-III, first-gen Range Rover, Foward Control, etc--I have a TON of these models in diecast, as old Land Rovers, here in the States, are impossible to find at Jeep prices.

For the car enthusiasts out there, this might be a hint towards something that looks like a Camel Trophy. Without the ciggie branding of course.

Legit classic car, that one.

A friend of mine's son has a 2005 Discovery. There was ALWAYS some kind of mechanical (or mostly) electrical gremlins.

I don't think I know one person who has a vehicle or tractor with Lucas electrics that hasn't had problems with those bits.

Let's see. I've already got a dark tan original series Range Rover, a sand-green with white roof short wheelbase Defender and a yellow with black long wheelbase Defender with expedition accessories, all in the Creator Expert style and scale.
So, am I excited by a teaser for yet another brick built Land or Range Rover?
Not really. ;-)

"Wish they'd do a Speed Champions version. "

And of the Jeep too. Not some Jurassic Park half attempt. Or even the 500. Essentially, all of these large scale vehicles should come with Speed Champions version and a 4 wide GWP version. For all price points and space requisites.

This should be good but I'm out. Out of everything, time, space and finances for any sort of hobby.

Proper Defender 110, as opposed to the 'new' Defender which is another Chelsea Tractor. Sign me up.

Dark blue body with a white roof would be my favourite

Or... without the apostrophes (which rarely denote plural form).

Are you familiar with Range Rover? That is a model name. The make is Land Rover. So its a Land Rover Range Rover. Land Rover makes models other than the Range Rover, lol.

Hope all's well over there for you mate, after such shocking devastation.

Yes Range Rovers are not a starter car - the are quite often more of a non-starter car - from the few people I know who have them.
