That's hilarious. It's akin to movie spoilers. Darren

"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."
At last some real detail about the new defender from a credible source! Full of plastic parts. It doesn't look as bad as I feared though...  |

I imagine JLR's lawyers running their hands with glee. Unless this is a deliberate, and very strange, marketing ploy. 2011 110 USW

It’s an official collaboration, but I wonder if Smyths Toys have gone too soon in listing it on their site. It doesn’t seem to be anywhere else. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS |

That's what I mean. It seems to have been leaked too early. Heads may be rolling somewhere... 2011 110 USW

Low profile street tyres, shameful. Even Lego who could have added a set of purposeful all terrains didn't.
You've just told the all important American and Australian markets to stick to Jeep and Toyota. |

Probably on purpose. Think I’m going to like it. Wheels are easily changed so not to worried about that.
The only thing is it’s probably going to be too expensive after taxes over here.  |

It looks to me as though it is the new Defender as imagined by Khan!
