I wish they could actually be in stores near me I never see these kind of sets on the shelves these days

When I first saw these I hoped at least two were upcoming GWPs but no such luck. Do we know any May GWPs after the 7th, or June apart from the return of the flowerpot?

As a packaging designer and design system wonk, it bothers me that they switched to the black box botanical collection look for 40646 Daffodils earlier this year, and now back to the generic "Iconic" line look for the Lotus flowers ??

Gotta say this right now, I love that Land Rover!

Does 40647 come in black?

My wife loves the flower sets as she isn't too great with living plants. Getting some of these is always a pleasant surprise for her.

When does the land rover release?

I'm getting big school run vibes from 40650

I like these. In fact, I like them most out of any reveals this week. The birthday cake especially; it's a cute set that incorporates DOTS-style decoration well, and the slide feature is even more fun.

1 June.

wish that was an 8-wide though.

It would have been nice to get Land Rover torso / T-shirt print.

>jade rabbit
>just a regular white rabbit

Still a cute set.

Lovely collection of threshold filler uppers! The Defender's great although I have to admit I would have preferred almost any other colour. It's one step away from being driven by a mini-doll!

If you open a set of the flowers, and the parts are all black, what’s it worth?

I can't tell if the front sticker piece can be replaced with other bricks, but if so, I'm doing it. "

I was thinking the same thing. The radiator in the centre is definitely a sticker, but the headlights look like either sticker or printed. If they are printed, I'm going to have to find the equivalent printing on black tiles for a recolour version

I don't mind the color, I just like things brick built even if I lose a little detail. A lot of my Speed Champions aren't fully stickered for that reason. Quad vents would be fine, or even three vents and a jumper plate with a 1x1 round tile in green for the logo.

Curious that the Lotus flowers aren't part of the botanical collection like the daffodils.

I'm going to get the Land Rover, but Speed Champions has spoiled me in wanting it in an 8-wide design because 6-wide looks juvenile. ¯\_[;)]_/¯

I was wondering what was with the little sled thing in 40641 until I saw the back-of-the-box image. That's clever! Sort of a shame 40650 isn't the same color as 10317.

@AddictedToStyrene: I'm guessing the pieces the headlights are mounted on are printed because of that stud in the middle might mess up placing a sticker.

Oh I am gifting that Land Rover to my dad.

Curious why the land rover is creator and not speed champs

A transporter of gods!

Thats Tragic, the Land Rover is a new 2023 Must buy imo

LAND ROVER!! I love that thing :P

Land Rover is great, poor colour choice though. And I really wish it had been a Gen I or Gen II, which are much more difficult to make out of Lego and the classic charm suits Lego better.

For me t'will be one for my brother and another for my brother-in-law ;-)

Yeah, I'm definitely going to get that Land Rover. Looks a lot like the Landie from the Tomorrow When the War Began series.

40650 Land Rover (licensed) for only 14.99 USD? That has to be a mistake.. Will expect LEGO to announce it on their site for 29.99 USD

Agreed, like $50 AU probably.

If that RRP of 14.99 is correct, I would wager to guess that this Land Rover will make the shortlist of best selling sets of 2023.

The Defender is not renowned to be a speed champion innit? It's not a race car, it doesn't fit in the lineup. But it sure does fit in my collection, maybe even two!

Wow sets like the Landrover or Birthday cake that used to be €10 are now €15

The classic Defender is my favourite car, so I love this set. (I am very much disgusted by the modern monstrosity bearing the same name, that should be illegal!)

First licensed Creator set?

Oh I am SO making a fleet of Land Rovers.

Hmm... my city doesn't have a Land Rover dealership. Is "now" the time? :-D

The Land Rover has someone shot to the top of my most anticipated sets for this summer. It's perfect!

Obviously I prefer the one I designed and built: https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/design.page?idModel=31196
LEGO Ideas rejected it ...

wow that land rover

@AdamSenna I agree! Really not sure why that train windscreen wasn't used, it's perfect for a Land Rover. Really not sure what would have been wrong with making a more classic (and in my opinion more recognisable) Land Rover.

40517 is another

40079, 40109, and 40252 were licensed GWPs that got Creator branding

Because a Defender doesn’t have a split windscreen.

While I love the smol land rover, creator becoming a dumping ground for random sets really hurts to watch for someone who grew up in the theme's hayday...

The wheels are black, when one of the shades of grey would have been more accurate to that of actual Land Rover vehicles. This change would not seemingly make the set any more expensive to produce.

Er, you might want to type 'Land Rover Series 1 Defender' into a search engine.

You're welcome.

Since when does Lego only do models of things currently in production?

My bad, I don’t really pay attention to this kind of stuff.

That PART is no longer in production. The train-screen, that is. And TLG has this weird habit of not producing parts that they aren't producing. Crazy, I know."

You're right. Once TLG stops making a part it's absolutely impossible to start making it again even if they want to. It's gone. FOREVER. Crazy, I know.

The train windscreen is still in production, the frame is used as a soccer goal in one of the new Friends sets. I imagine the use of the basic windscreen here might've been a budgetary consideration (like this set didn't have the budget to do a recolor of that windscreen frame).

Exactly. It's still in production, but not in the correct color. (only white right now, I think) They probably didn't have the budget for a recolor, as @lyichir said.
