After quite the eventful year start to the year for LEGO, 2023 is now heading into spring with an even stronger collection of kits.

One of the more exciting and collectible kits to be launching for April is the latest brick-built vehicle. Joining what was formerly the Creator Expert series, the new Land Rover Classic Defender 90 hits the scene with 2,336 pieces. The build arrives to celebrate the company’s 75th anniversay, and delivers all of the attention to detail that you’d expect.
There’s a signature sage green color scheme, as well as a 2-in-1 design that can swap between the standard and off-road versions of the vehicle. Not to mention a working suspension and tons of goodies like a toolbox, jerrycans, traction plates, built-in roof rack that comes outfitted with some work lights, as well as an engine snorkel that clips onto the side.
The set sells for $239.99 and is now officially available to purchase for LEGO VIPs. It’ll be launching to the general public starting on April 4, too. If you’re not sold yet, we also break down what to expect from the kit in our launch coverage, too.
