LEGO Technic Mercedes-Benz G 500 PROFESSIONAL Line Car Building Set 42177

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packaging was amazing and I love how everything was in its own bags and the instructions was easy to use. For the price it's worth the money. I was so happy to of received this for my son as he's a lego fan and loves making and creating lego master pieces

Loved this build! As someone without much means to buy large Lego sets, I'm always looking for something that can give me plenty of build time per dollar. The "G-Wagon" was exactly the right amount of entertainment for the cost spent. I used all of my minimal tax refund to purchase this set and spent several weekends building it. Worth every penny! And it looks great.

I’m not a great fan of technic builds. But. This one. Took me two months to build. I Normally take two to three days. I hated it. And still now it’s built. The steering doesn’t work. But im not rebuilding the thing just so I can steer it.

This is my second technic set, very enjoyable build from start to finish. Noticed a few mistakes within the instruction books, and I went to use the Lego app and noticed this set was not available to build in 3D which is a shame. Ever since the introduction of paper bags I have experienced more missing parts than usual, I have requested 3 parts from this set which was missing. Other than that a really nice build Could have polished the finished result a bit better in my opinion. Will look forward to the next 4x4 technic build Hopefully Lego introduces the 6x6 model to the Technic line up

My first big Lego set. I love it l. It is detailed and realistic but I would like to have more cars with such entertainment

well up to advance build up to the work of a good mine top but live the way it looks like then competed

Fun set, but a lot missing bits. We are fed up. I had to put second request to send us missing blocks. First took over 3 weeks. How long we have to wait ? Why bits are missing ? It destroys whole fun. Im furoius

I enjoyed this build, very technical, I would recommend this build.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Complex but easy build. amazing design, and it’s actually super big! you get exactly what you pay for and it’s worth it for the fun. amazing model, and overall a very fun build.

It is larger than I thought it would be but it is relaxing building it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this lego Mercedes benz G500 professional line model. 2891 pieces of putting together. Clear instructions in easy to deal with separate bags. Perfect of hours of fun with the family. Great looking model thats a good size

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Me and my nephew had great fun building this, it is incredibly durable and versatile and easy to carry around, it took ages to build but was well worth it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was selected to sample this product for free from influenster and lego in exchange for my honest review. This is amazing, the attention to detail is phenomenal. It's 18+ so this is certainly not a kids toy at all. It's a collectable and is to be displayed. It has clear instruction and looks very lifelike. This took hours of building but is to worth it. It's a collectors item and one that I will cherish for generations.

A very fun build and addition to my Technic collection. I really hope LEGO produces a Ford Bronco RAPTOR in red and black colors in the same scale as this G500.

It is a good but challenging build in which you've got to keep a good eye as some parts of the instructions could be clearer but over all good set

Pros - fun gear centric build with cool features like locking diffs, transfer cases, etc. Lots of detail went into little things like functioning door handles and door jambs, body angles, interior replication Cons - the front suspension is too soft and the model pitches to the front more than I care for. G-wagons don’t look like that in a parking lot. Aside from aesthetics, the soft front end, stiff rear end, and forward center of mass, the model is hard to play with and drive around because the front suspensions compresses and the drivetrain binds up if you have gears engaged. The reason I gave it such a bad rating is because I tried to electrify this vehicle and the transfer case is incapable of handling any torque. Take a look at the pics. If you take the front off and remove the engine block you can snug an XL motor perfectly between the two vertical braces. Two black studs on each side keep it from rotating. The spare “yellow axle in the cargo box” is the exact length you need to connect the motor to the old existing connection for the crankshaft. Route the wires thru the dash into the cab and it’s ready for testing. Unfortunately the motor doesn’t turn the drivetrain because the transfer case isn’t built to handle torque. I was so impressed with the build after completing it that all I wanted to do was test all the drivetrain functionality. So I bought a motor package with a controller and IR receiver and got it working. But that darn green barrel gear lets the inner white gear rotate inside it and the motor won’t drive the truck. After giving up my hopes, I rolled over the truck like a turtle on its back and tried working all the levers to see it from underneath. Even that amount of resistance in the drivetrain was too much for the transfer case. Lego, help me out and tell me I did something wrong like flipped a gear during the transfer case build because you hear this all the time. Please tell me I’m wrong.

Sorry to spoil the parade on five stars, but this was Not a fun build for me I have done every technic vehicle that has come out in the last 10 years and this is the worst example of any of them Perhaps it’s due to the square sides, which Lego failed to capture with regard to fit as you can see There are just too many loose ends on the sides of the doors and the side of the hood I find myself enlarging almost every step that had to do with the doors and the fitment so I can see that I was doing it correctly, although it does not look correct Quality of this building is nowhere near that of the Land Rover that I have done sorry Lego And as you can see, it is impossible to reach either the gearshift or the four-wheel-drive selector due to the placement without moving the seats unless your fingers and wrist are the size of a 10-year-old

it is a good item and it keeps my child busy and thinking and paying attention

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just received it and it's great. It will take me some time to make it but it's gorgeous. The packaging is super big and very cool. As for the performance, you have to know how to do it because there are a lot of small parts. What is safe is for big people. It's long since we're talking about Lego and it will last a long time and well. I am very happy. It will have a guaranteed place in the living room.

This Lego set is fantastic with all its cool features it is great for expert builders like me. The amount of attention to detail is amazing from the locks on the doors to how the gearbox works. This set is incredible!
