Since the release date is June 1st I guess the reviews are not that far away for this beauty

From these two quotes, I can successfully conclude that it defo has nice touches from Milan Reindl But who actually designed this beauty? Hope to know it soon!

That B-model🔥Now I really want to have a 2nd 42128!

From my guessing the build will be very very sturdy; much like 2023's Peugeot 9x8 Hypercar. I reckon with time the steering will be a bit too tight. Anyways, it is hopefully going to be my next Technic set.

That piece of word salad somehow has made me slightly more interested into this set.

Ha, I defo agree with that but, at the same time a successor (sometime in the not-so-near future) to the 8070 Supercar would not be too bad I think. I would love that!

This is an Ideas set review by RB. All the technical functions in this set look much more exciting than the most recent Technic labelled cars released so far. After the Ornithoptre this set impresses me most in terms of Non-Technic Lego sets.

Could not agree more on this. Plus, the doors, tailgate, headlights, A pillars- almost everything is designed more intricately with proper sturdiness on the Defender than on the G Wagen. When you switch the gearbox levers the console on G Wagen tends to bend/wobble. The console on the Defender, on the other hand, is not affected by such operation. In terms of wobbliness, the G defeats the D. I am no expert at this but keep in mind, the new parts/technic etc used for the Yamaha and the P1 sequential gearboxes are for a 1/8 scale car and a 1/5 bike chassis- much larger body with significant amount of entrapment/rigidity. To achieve same level of smoothness in a 1/10 scale chassis those elements are not enough. Size/scale matters. It (perhaps) needs more research and prototyping when it comes to fit (or design) the new gearbox in such scale of chassis. But yeah, Lego do have enough time to correct that too.

Is not that something Lego has been faithfully doing for all the past years?

Both are disappointing in their own ways

Not gunna lie, I liked the use of system bricks to have the dashboard built inside the car.

That 2L beam with cross axle right on the middle of it is something I never imagined to want it nor can I think it was ever discussed in Parts we would find useful thread. A bit controversial look. Let’s see how useful it is going to be!

So @grohl are you not gonna build any MOC out of 42177? It's been quite a while 🤔

🤦‍♂️

That’s not a review, rather a speedbuild video. I have been following his channel for quite a long while. He most probably is going to review it in the follow up video. But, can we just not praise the beauty of this F1 car! Really love the way the hoses are implemented

Releasing cars for years after years is not a problem either, specially considering the new customers come old customers go movement. It's feels like they all seem so much the same! When MOC designers (and companies) at least tried different steering angles, suspension setup, RC, and ride height adjustments Lego™ seem to play all safe and sound for all the recent years

Very pleasing. I just love how it runs without a single hiccup through tall grasses and even a single body part (with accessories) did not even wobble when climbing or running. Top notch sturdiness/ body to chassis rigidity. Very very admirable for a creation weighing over 2 KGs. Adding 3 shocks on each side of the rear axle is just perfect which I also did to my Defender. Perhaps adding diff locks would make the off roading even better which already is great!

Man! That details look insane. Looking forward to some Efferman pics

Guys, the 42110 was released back in 2019, quite unexpectedly. Since then, not gunna lie, it has a very strong cult following; it got lots of talks everywhere in the key Technic discussions. It still manages to get amazing MOC builds. The more days pass the more I see the 42110 as someone's insane one night dream came true in the form of insane amount of engineering. Its chassis got abnormal amount of gears, overly complicated drivetrain and such. A slight misalignment in the building process caused frustrations. On the other hand, nearly 5 years later another Jeep/SUV came out. This time it is the M-B G 500 Professional line. At one way of looing, it seems a successor to the Defender aka 42110. It got a gearbox that got rid of the 4-speed transmission. The AWD drivetrain now got rear and center differential locks. The suspension system, if not better, is as beefy as the Defender. Moreover, it got rear live axle something that many think should have been present in the Defender. The G 500 got newer parts like the gearbox stuffs and flip-flops beams which effectively creates more opportunities to build MOCs with better functions and/or designs. Like there are MOCs which have diff locks across the axles and center differential! How about the solutions when it comes to body work? For Defender, the A pilers, the engineering of front headlights and also the rear ones, the functional tailgate (with a questionable illegal technique), the interiors including the seats, the overall rigidity of the body-chassis seems to have done with lots of care. Without having the flipflop beams, the solutions seem pretty amazing. On the other hand, the body of the 42177 seems a bit too cluttered, flimsy, and overall less rigid but, looks as attractive (if not more) as the Defender. Both the sets have cool accessories. Which one got more emphasizes that is debatable I think. Also, does the target age group matter, or, how does it matter? The 42110 was a 11+ set which exceptionally strikes balance between functions and looks. The 42177, on the other hand, has an 18+ tag that does not need rich and authentic functional tags. What do you think? there is no definite winner here I guess. Also, I think it is still a bit too early to tell which one is more successful in terms of sales figure or popularity. One thing that seriously matters to me is that, from the very beginning of 42177 it got some really really good matured polished MOCs built by some very cool MOC designers. As a result, it almost does not matter that much whether one is better over another. You buy either one of them, you can settle with varieties of MOCS. However, from stock build/solutions perspective perhaps it would be interesting to see how the owners of both (or either one) models think.

The 2nd list seems pretty convincing to me though I am kind of amused that the 42145 Rescue Helicoptre is not there. From technical marvel to popularity it should have been there. Well, maybe as 21st!

A very well thought-out comparison video (sorry if it is already posted).

Ha. It also seems to me that the 42210 (Skyline GT-R) is going to fall in the 1/12 scale category for its pieces count.

One of the best looking Technic MOCs from recent years! Looks so polished your attention to details sense is truly commendable.
