LEGO Icons Land Rover Classic Defender 90
Pros
- Movie-accurate Defender 90 silhouette in Icons-tier build quality
- Working steering wheel — front wheels turn when you turn the steering
- Opening doors, hood, and tailgate
- Removable roof panels for full interior access
- Detailed engine bay under the hood
Cons
- No included minifig (it's a car, not a vignette)
- Some intricate wiring routing visible if you display with the hood up
- Wheels don't articulate over a 360-degree range (front-wheels only)
LEGO Icons Loop Coaster
Pros

- Most kinetic Icons set since the [PAC-MAN Arcade](/reviews/pac-man)
Cons
