Being a Land Rover owner myself, I was surprised to see this one in the Downtown Disney LEGO Store. I hadn't heard of it before that, so we bought it "for my daughter". :)

Turns out, LEGO can build a pretty nice Rover (2-door, but who's counting). The scale is nice when compared to a very nicely designed trailer. The playability is great because you can detach the trailer and go off-roading with the SUV.

The horse matches the white horse in my daughter's 5560 kit, so she loves to play with them together.

My only complaint is perhaps the scale of the truck. It's 6 lugs wide, while most City vehicles are only 4 lugs wide. It seems strange parked next to my 7747 Wind Turbine Transport heavy hauler truck. Same width.

Still, a great addition to my collection, and it goes well with the other farm elements, too.

Recommend highly!

I love this set, 2 figures, a horse (lost my old one :[ ) nice trailer and truck, but the truck was missing an engine!

I changed the yellow brick that holds the front of the truck on and put a 2x2 plate with a lego 2x2 engine with the blower on top. and added a stick shift in the inside.

perfect for my lego town

There is so much you can do with this set. On the face of it, it may not look like much, but there is so much more! First of all, You have a doting father taking his daughter to the gymkhana on a saturday morning. Then you know exactly where he's going after!! That's right, he's taking that "Discovery" off-roading! Who'd have thought you could have made a proper looking "Disco" with a handful of bits? The whole set is brilliant. The 4WD, the horse box, even the minifigs, it's just so right. Take a bow, Lego, You've earned it!

I posted a review of this set (my first review, regrettably) before we opened it. Tragic at worst, overzealous at best.

At any rate, we have since opened it, built it, "stickered" it, and played with it.

Here's what I have for you all:

Pros:

Fun build - particularly for the indicated age range (5-12)
Challenging build (again, for the indicated age range - my seven year old daughter loved to build it the first time and a few weeks later took it apart and rebuilt it)

Another plus: the truck is just plain cool. Way out of the norm for any other City-themed cars that I've seen. Besides, what LEGO city doesn't need a sweet SUV on it's roads?

Playability - great. My children (9, 7, 6, 4) all love it.

Parts - great set if you're just looking for parts

Stickers - I normally can't understand TLG's relatively new insistence upon using stickers instead of printing directly to the elements. Having said that, this set made it (at least partially) clear: if you don't want to build the truck and trailer, you're stuck with pieces with horse pictures on them. Horse pictures don't really work with most other genres. So, you have options, and that's a plus.

All in all, this is a great set BUT the price tag is a bit on the steep side ($22.99US - 176 pieces? Really?). I'm sure the steeper price is due to some of the elements being on the bigger side (fence, horse, bigger elements for the trailer, etc).

Hope this helps!

Love the LEGO Landrover. It's definitely the most high-end minifig luxury car. Nice details, very classic. The price is high, but these are obviously very wealthy minifigs.

I LOVE the Paradisa window/white corner dome pieces! When, oh when will LEGO bring them back in transparent colors--these things make the COOLEST windows.
