Late last year, rumors were already circulating that the LEGO Icons 10317 Land Rover Classic Defender would be released in April 2023, and today, that news has been confirmed by the Danish company. LEGO has shared the first teaser for the set, and the official presentation will follow later this week.
Update 16/03 → LEGO Icons 10317 Land Rover Classic Defender has been officially announced.
Update 15/03 → Meanwhile, the first image of the LEGO Icons 10317 Land Rover Classic Defender has also been leaked. The model appears to be a two-door variant from 1983 with a green body and what seems to be a white roof. The Land Rover is further equipped with a snorkel, a winch, two spare tires, and several accessories that can be placed on the roof rack.
I guess you could say … this store kinda went a little off-road. Any wild guesses what one might find in this store? ???? pic.twitter.com/tBKgmYAdqy

LEGO Icons 10317 Land Rover Classic Defender
In the short video, we see a Land Rover Defender in the Scottish Highlands, which is described by LEGO as the hardest-to-reach LEGO Shop in the world. Based on the video, it seems likely that the LEGO Icons 10317 Land Rover Classic Defender will be released in yellow. At the end of the video, we see the logos of Land Rover Classic and LEGO with the text “Coming soon, Adults Welcome.”
The LEGO Icons 10317 Land Rover Classic Defender is based on a classic model that has a more angular design compared to the LEGO Technic 42110 Land Rover Defender, which is generally good news for a LEGO set. The model consists of 2336 bricks and will have a recommended retail price of $/€239.99 in the LEGO Shop.
