Looks like Lego are finding another bandwagon to jump upon.

£160 for a nicely complex model of a LR Defender (independent suspension, steering, gearbox and winch). But which Defender is it?

Leaked Lego Defender

Thoughts?

It looks more like a RR to me so clearly the new model. Amusing that the first “official” announcement of the shape comes in the form of a Lego set (albeit leaked pictures) 😂

Was on Smyths’ website for a short while

Agree that it looks more like the new deafener.

There were a couple of articles on Flipboard about the new Defender undergoing testing in Africa, with lots of photos. The cars were wearing camo to try to disguise the shape, but it was pretty clear the car is not unlike a Disco 3/4, so Lego aren’t really showing anything that couldn’t be determined from the photos.
The article has dropped off the Flipboard feed, so I can’t post it now.
Edit - found it:
