LEGO Technic Jeep Wrangler 4x4 Toy Car Model Building Kit, All Terrain Off Roader SUV , Gift Idea for Kids, Boys and Girls

The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon is my first LEGO Technic build for 30ish years. And while some things have moved on amazingly, the original wonder of the LEGO Technic experience remains. As it sits there in its completed glory, I can almost hear my Jeep saying ‘Yeah OK, I'm a yellow/black box but I'm a solid and dependable yellow/black box that will take you where you need to go. It may get bumpy at times, but you can rely on me.' And then I put my hand on it. Not only does it feel solid and reliable but it's also smooth. I touch my old, wonderful LEGO Technic go cart and feel the sharp edges of the bricks. Nothing wrong with this but the rounded nature of these new big yellow structural elements and the rear roll bar, combined with the upbeat yellow vibe, make the Jeep seem friendly and inviting. A few seconds later, I'm rocking it from side to side on its fab suspension. You may find it hard to resist the urge to do this! With springs in the rear suspension, it doesn't just flop around; there's a reassuring sense of controlled resistance as it moves. One area of potential improvement could be to give the rear suspension a slightly greater range of motion, but this doesn't detract from the experience for me. Yes, I can drive it on the floor but I must admit I love putting my Jeep on a table where I can see the wheels move up and down at eye level as it climbs over books and other random objects (sorry, I mean dried out stream-beds and boulders). I can almost hear it humming a happy tune as this is what it's designed for. Axles moving independently means maximum, adaptive four-wheel drive contact with uneven surfaces. Slow and steady really does win this particular race. Turning it upside down, I'm reminded of the complexity underlying the clean outer form. Updated connecting elements bolt and weld together new and evolved components in more sophisticated ways compared to how things were done in the time before mobile phones. But my old go cart is just as great. Then, as now, LEGO Technic gets a gold star for both form and function. Before buying it, I watched the official LEGO Jeep Wrangler Rubicon video and wondered how the moving axle/suspension would work. This core feature was one of the many new LEGO Technic components that made me smile and say things like ‘Wow! That's so cool!' out loud as I put the bits together. Rock the wheels from side to side and it just works. Fluid motion and strong attachment. Great design. Building and playing with this Jeep gave and continues to give me many happy and therapeutic moments. Whether you're an adult or a younger builder, I hope you'll get much enjoyment from this characterful addition to the LEGO family.

Totally enjoyed the experience. Quality of LEGO never disappoints. The final piece looks super cool as a display anywhere! (First time building one in my life!)

This is the lego car I was looking forward all the time , lego finally made a Jeep . Jeep was always my dream car and I do have one , now I can put this lego set right next to my real car and take some pictures. It would be even better if this set had more pieces more details .. if there is a bigger set comes out I would definitely buy it as a Jeep fan and lego fan

Very detailed instructions and these kits are always a blast to put together. I really enjoy this particular one for style and look. Makes a great display once completed. I would highly recommend this as a gift or personal purchase for anyone who enjoys building or putting things together.

Worked for Chrysler in my younger years. Fell in love with it then and still love it now. I don't own a real one personally, but I saw this one online. Bright yellow rugged looking, affordable, why not buy one right? Love the front end the way it goes over objects. Friends love it! This is my 2nd technic set!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lego Wrangler The first impression I got of this Lego Technic Jeep Wrangler set was “excitement”. The background they chose for the box just makes you excited to open it up and start assembling it. Once opening it and organizing the contents, I found the instruction booklet to be very well laid out and easy to follow. The system of smaller, individually labeled bags to build the set in stages helps keep the pieces organized and easier to find. Being a Technic set, there are many small pieces and more attention to detail. Once assembly was complete I could really appreciate all the small details of this set. The articulation of the suspension is great, and closely mimics the actual Jeep Wrangler it was designed after. The doors and hood open and are neat features, as well as the winch on the front bumper. Another cool feature is the steering. The one thing about this set that I did not like is the directional tires. These are more like an agricultural type tread design than a typical off-road tire found on a 4 wheel drive vehicle. I do like the bright yellow, but I think it would be cool if they offered it in more colors. Overall, this is a very fun set to build and play with even after assembly and covers a very wide age group. I must add the best part of all LEGO sets is the fact that we spend time as a family without any electronics involved, is for sure a must in my family and LEGO is a stamp in my household for this reason.

Loved it! Put it together, took some pictures and then took it apart and shipped it to NY for my great nephew to put it together!!

My 11 yr old gear head got this for Christmas. He put it together himself and we are very impressed with all the Jeep can do. Pretty cool set.

Was pretty fun building the Jeep. Very cool to ad to my collection. One downside, one of my fender pieces was the wrong color! Very minor complaint as I've been building Lego for 20 years and never had a single piece wrong or missing, until today. It's about time they messed something up. Thanks LEGO.

A bit disappointed. The box appears to be unopened but it has both water damage and has been smashed a bit. I am still going to give it out as a gift because it's hard to find in the store
