Really looking forward to this one. 

Is it a Mike Psiaki design? 

 

This is delicious, and the accessories are awesome. 3 Hoods and 2 Different engines. Very, very nice.

Surprisingly no, maybe he was too busy with Rivendell or just worked on this, but the designer is Kurt Kristiansen, LEGO Design Master commented: “Bringing the iconic Classic Land Rover Defender to brick life was no easy challenge. 

I had to look him up and he does not seem to have a Bricklist on Brickset but looks like he is a SW UCS designer including 10221 SSD and R2.

awesome. Probably the best creator "icons" vehicle I've ever seen. 

Can't tell from the pic if that Defender sticker on the hood is one sticker on 2 pieces or two separate stickers.

Unless I'm mistaken, I don't think they do stickers across multiple pieces anymore.

Good one lol.

Not in UK though, all retail was sold out in October/November

It is going for £230-£240. I bought for £90, will be interesting to see what happens when this new one goes on sale.

 

Even more Negatives:

Actual Land Rover owners should love this set just as much as their real Land Rover, then.

Part 2 will include designer discussion.

He is a Technic guy, interesting he says Tiago (first video I posted former Lego designer) you won’t like this build.
