In my opinion, this is the best Creator Expert/Icons vehicle to date, and that's largely because the real vehicle is square and boxy so has lent itself to being replicated in LEGO extremely well. I have no idea if there's a perfect metric for this. I'd personally love to see both numbers tossed out in any given set. Look, some people are happy with "price per piece." I'm not, although I get that it has *some* utility. The Art and Dots lines really throw price-per-piece for a loop, don't they? You arguably get a lot for your money in those sets, but not everyone wants a bunch of 1x1 monochrome rounds, either. It’s a shame as the rest of the build is stellar with an exciting mix of building techniques, accurate details, expert shaping and an iconic colour scheme that naturally draws the eye’s gaze – and all this while evoking the unique identity of Land Rover and the rugged sense of off-roading in the countryside.

Of course the real car isn’t called ‘classic’ anywhere in its title, but we suppose both LEGO and Land Rover are keen to remind us that there is indeed another Defender on the market. Replicating the short wheel-base ’90’ hardtop, 10317 does wear Land Rover’s marvellous heritage green colour (as re-used on the final run of ‘classic’ Defenders) superbly though, with a good proportion of the set’s colossal 2,336 pieces in the hue, including the wheels and the new wheel-arch parts similar to those that first debuted on the ‘other’ Defender set some four years ago.Status: REVIEWED Description Transcript Variant: This variant (7) represents use of the alternate A promoter and contains an alternate 5' UTR compared to variant 1.

Price per part is a silly metric. It's always been a silly metric. No one should value tiny 1x1 or 1x2 pieces the same as much larger pieces. I assumed the issue was closely related to power. But now it seems to me that a software issue is more likely. Miniport < Mobile broadband device name>, { GUID}, had event Fatal error: The miniport has detected an internal errorThe fragility of 10317 Land Rover Classic Defender 90 is an unfortunate aspect of this otherwise impressive and accurate model. As far as LEGO Icons vehicles go, we’d still rank 10317 Land Rover Classic Defender 90 towards the top as everything else in the set works very well. While the scale is "wrong" for an adult-sized human, that Technic figure looks just fine behind the wheel of 10295, and fits the driver's seat almost perfectly. And I believe that the Porsche is 1:12 just like the Land Rover. Therefore, in my new head canon, the figure represents a young troublemaker out for a spin in his parents' vehicle. At least he's wearing a helmet. The attempt by all of us to come up with a best "true" metric to measure a set's value has always fascinated me. I do think that PPP is about as good as it gets - at least for me - since according to the price per weight ratio we would all love juniorized sets with giant prefab pieces that weigh the same at a fraction of piece count. This has happened earlier and I used to do this: I went to the device manager and in the network adapter section, would choose Qualcomm Atheros Wireless and I would disable and enable it. This fixed the wireless problem for me.

Dual-molded parts, however, are a bit weird. Many dual-molded parts have no counterparts. Stuff like the Minions torsos, the bald eagle, or Dug from Pixar's Up, have _one_ mold design, which is dual-molded. Dual-molded legs have a solid core where regular legs would be hollow, so the weight should be noticably different. Dual-molded arms probably use the same amount of plastic as their regular counterparts, and so would probably require comparisons of quantities in the thousands before you'd be likely to see a measurable difference in weight. More manuals of Lego Frequently Asked Questions about Lego set 10317 Icons Land Rover Classic Defender 90 The Osprey livery was based on an early version of either the XV-15 or the AW609, both of which were related aircraft that were designed for non-military use. The V-22 was designed specifically for military use, but it’s primarily used by those militaries in S&R operations. It sounds like it’s only armed, and then only with a rear-facing anti-personnel weapon, when used for evac of troops from a combat zone. You have a device that has a mobile broadband connection. When you turn on the device or resume it from sleep, one of the following errors is logged in the System log: has zero forward visibility, regardless of whether the bat-head is up or down. I think I’d prefer a tire, as you can at least peer around the side.I agree with many here that the price point of this set is insensitive in this economic climate, and the price has alienated a lot of people, and may ultimately hurt their own sales. What do you think of the LEGO Land Rover Classic Defender? Do you think it’ll fit in well with the other LEGO Icons cars? Osprey is operated by four militaries and no one else. Land Rovers are most commonly associated with rich civilians. I’m not seeing the problem here. Although there are numerous pieces that have been cast in sand green for the first time in the set the only new parts are these wheel arches, of which of course there are four. I don't particularly care about their costs myself (at least not beyond the most general sense), but I used to work in the industry, so it's hard not to be aware of them. And I can do the math, which says that the price per piece has remained fairly constant through four and a half decades of inflation. Even if you gauged sets by price per weight, I'm pretty sure you'd find that they've still gotten effectively cheaper since the minifig was introduced a quarter of a century ago.
