Today, the first product pictures of the new LEGO Technic sets became available. Here comes 42110 Land Rover Defender, a 2573-piece LEGO Technic replica of the legendary utility vehicle. The model has no electric elements, yet the retail price of the set in the UK will be £159.99 (according to Smyths Toys). The Land Rover is equipped with a working steering mechanism (which is standard for LEGO models of its size and class) and a 4-speed sequential gearbox, which is a very pleasant surprise for all LEGO Technic fans. Besides, the chassis carries 3 differentials and an independent suspension. The final touch is a working winch at the front of the vehicle.
This is the very first time a LEGO Technic model comes in olive green color, so we expect a bunch of regular Technic panels in olive for the first time as well. The model measures over 8.6″/22 cm high, 16.5″/42 cm long and 7.8″/20 cm wide. Although the set is rumored to go on sale in October, this is yet to be confirmed by the LEGO Group.
I would expect other kind of wheels for the first real life based 4×4 Sport Utility Vehicle set.
I want this on day one if possible!
Incidentally, this *real vehicle* isn’t announced yet (the new generation Defender) so this is a leak of the approximate upcoming Defender as well as the LEGO set.
Definitely a leak, all be it accidental by Smyths Toys. A lot of the other Lego fan websites have taken their articles down about the Technic Defender, looks Lego have ‘lawyered up’ again!

Might be why the news article was removed from Brickset.
I was at the LEGO Store, confirmed leak. TBB, check your comments. I mean, I’m super excited… But this leak/redact stuff is getting on kinda old :( wouldn’t want any extra trouble for y’all.
