The iconic Land Rover Defender 90 is portrayed in the most recent, highly detailed Lego model. This is the vintage off-roader that was on sale from 1983 to 2016. It is not the contemporary model. There are also many extras available to personalize your design.

There are two construction choices for the 2,336 piece Defender model. A regular SUV with a sage green frame and a white top can be put together.

A roof rack, snorkel inlet, a new front fender with a functioning winch, rock rails, a toolbox, a jack, a fire extinguisher, and rescue boards are some alternative options for the body.

The set includes two motors and three hoods. You could put up a cool diorama mimicking extreme off-roading with all of that equipment.

In 2019, the toy business released a Technic model of the 2020 Defender for Lego Land Rover completists. It was eight inches tall, seven inches broad, and sixteen inches long.

There were more than 2,500 parts in the package. All-wheel drive, a functioning winch, a functional suspension, a four-speed sequential transmission, and foldable back seats were among the features. However, this variant is no longer being manufactured.

This Custom LEGO Chopper Makes The Best Impression Of A Harley V-Rod

March 14, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

A bespoke motorbike costs a lot of money to build. Whether you undertake a job from scratch, for aesthetic purposes only, or as a total rebuild, the costs mount up quickly. LEGO master builder Pale4 created his own custom chopper by building it brick by brick in order to construct the vehicle of his desires without going broke.

Fully Equipped With Adjustable Pistons

Pale4’s design immediately reminds me of Harley-now-discontinued Davidson’s V-Rod. Although the VRSC was produced for 18 years, many Harley purists disapproved of the cutting-edge cruiser. However, the concept is still revered in some communities, such as the private arena. Pale4 demonstrates that the LEGO universe is no different.

The maker admitted, “I’ve always been a devotee of custom bikes. Since modifying vehicles is so popular, I reasoned that creating a motorbike that could be altered by builders after construction would make a fantastic set for lovers of Lego and Lego Technic.

By shortening the front frame, building it to a steeper angle, and shortening the rear fender, it is simple to convert this motorbike to a bobber type bike using the parts included in the set.

No detail is missed by the expert LEGO maker. The model chopper faithfully reproduces its inspiration, down to the long, slender V-posture Rod’s and its 60-degree V-twin.

Pale4 even has controls with brake lines, a back suspension in the manner of a V-Rod, and bodywork. But he doesn’t neglect to give the personalized boat his own unique touch.

Pale4 improves the chassis with seven-spoke wheels and an inverted front end, replacing the V-disc Rod’s wheels and telescoping suspension. The end product is a custom chopper that ought to be appealing to both custom bike enthusiasts and cruiser purists. Will LEGO enthusiasts back it, we wonder?

Pale4’s design has a possibility of becoming a retail box set because it is a member in the LEGO Ideas program. The custom chopper requires 10,000 ballots to go into manufacturing.

The LEGO master builder has 1,972 points as of the moment this article was written. Even though the V-Rod may have outlived its usefulness, a 1:5-scale homemade LEGO chopper aims to continue its heritage.

Darken Your Nights In 2023 With The Batman LEGO Technic Batcycle

**Batman’s Batcycle from LEGO Technic, front right angle view**

We hope you had a wonderful Christmas season and now that the new year has here, you have all you wished for. If you didn’t and are still searching for the ideal toy to brighten your winter, you should certainly check out what’s new in the LEGO Technic catalogue.

The Batcycle from the most recent Dark Knight picture adaptation, the Batman, will likely delight Batman enthusiasts in especially when it becomes available.

For enthusiasts nine years of age and above, the 641-piece kit is available. Being a LEGO Technic toy, it obviously needs moving pieces to function properly. In light of this, the Batcycle is equipped with steering, suspension, an articulating H4 engine, and even a chain drive to connect the engine to the back wheel.

Importantly, there is also a central support that you can fold down to make it easier to show your Batcycle once you’ve completed assembling it.

DIMENSIONS:

What size does the completed model have? 6.5 inches (16 centimeters) in height, 13 inches (33 centimeters) in length, and 4.5 inches (11 centimeters) in width are the dimensions. That means it’s a nice size for both construction and display, but it’s not so enormous that, after it’s put together, you’ll have trouble finding out where to put it.

Like other LEGO kits, the Batcycle kit comes with comprehensive assembly instructions. But don’t worry if you learn better visually; LEGO has you covered, too. You may rotate and zoom in on the 3D models of the kits you’re trying to assemble using the LEGO Builder app to get a closer look as needed. The programme also allows you to track your progress in completing the sets you already have in your collection and store them, but the 3D model feature sounds particularly useful.

PRICE:

If you’re reading this soon after it was published on January 3, 2023, then I have some awful news for you. The LEGO Technic Batcycle kit isn’t currently available, so you’ll have to wait a few of months to buy one. The toy manufacturer states that it will be available for purchase on March 1, 2023, with an MSRP of $49.99.

How do you feel about the layout? Is it up to par with your expectations, or are you let down by how accurately it mimics the movie’s bike? Will you be bypassing this one and holding out for a better Batcycle in the future, or are you eager to add one to your collection? Please tell us in the comments.

Working Gearbox And Pistons For The New Lego Technic Ferrari Daytona SP3

May 25, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

Lego is also releasing a limited-edition book on its design partnership with Ferrari.

The latest Lego Technic set miniaturizes the Daytona SP3, one of Ferrari’s most recent premieres. Last November, it joined Ferrari’s Icon family of automobiles. The new Lego model will be available on June 1, and the two firms will celebrate with a limited-edition coffee table book recounting their work on the kit. The book will only be printed in 5,000 copies.

The 3,778-piece 1:8-scale Ferrari is 5.5 inches (15 centimeter’s) tall, 23 inches (59 cm) long, and 9.5 inches (25 cm) broad. The Ferrari Daytona SP3 is incredibly detailed inside and out, much like Lego’s other Technic kits – and in places that most people would never see.

A functional 8-speed sequential gearbox and a V12 engine with moving pistons are included in the Lego Ferrari, but that’s not all. The fully functional wishbone suspension, complete with detailed brake discs and working springs, will also be assembled by the builders.

The functional butterfly doors open to reveal an interior that has been painstakingly replicated, even down to the Ferrari insignia on the steering wheel. On the exterior, the automobile has silver-lacquered wheels with Ferrari center caps. “No aspect has been missed,” claimed Lego Group CEO Niels B. Christiansen. “At such a small scale, the attention to detail and perfection of the model astounds me,” he continued.

The kit will be available at Lego Stores worldwide on June 1 before being distributed to other stores on August 1. It’ll set you back $399.99, and Lego recommends it for those aged 18 and over. On June 1, the book “Lego Technic Ferrari Daytona SP3: The Sense of Perfection” will be available for $79.99. The limited-edition book delves into the conceptualization, design, and production of the model.

The Lego Technic kit will be far more accessible than the real Daytona SP3. Only 599 Ferrari supercars will be produced. The Daytona is Ferrari’s most aerodynamically efficient car ever, with a 6.5-liter V12 from the 812 Competition producing 828 horsepower (617 kilowatts) and 514 pound-feet (697 Newton-meters) of torque. The Lego kit is also far less expensive.
