Who would’ve guessed LEGO would blow the covers off the upcoming Land Rover Defender. We’ve seen the real vehicle testing with camouflage in harsh conditions, but we didn’t imagine the reveal would show up totally uncloaked in brick form. This LEGO Technic model sports the right shape, and the wheels even match the test vehicle’s to a “T”. Just like their other superb Technic series vehicles (Bugatti Chiron, Porsche 911 GT3 RS, the Defender will take more than a few minutes to assemble given its 2,573 piece count. But it’ll be worth it since the doors, steering four-speed gearbox, and front-mounted winch all work. It’s just not big enough for you to pilot. Look for the new kit to go up for sale in October.

Vaer’s G5 Meridian Watch Looks and Feels Better Than the Five-Times More Expensive Option It Reminds You Of
Vaer has been one of our favorite watchmakers for as long as we can remember because they produce new, classic watches based on iconic designs. Case in point, the Vaer G5 Meridian watch you see here. This timepiece is a 1950s-inspired 20ATM automatic watch that’s USA-assembled, dual timezone, built with ocean-ready functionality, self-winding and the brand’s first true GMT (the latest version of their core dive watch design). What’s more, it pays homage to other watches that are incredibly more expensive or hard to come by whilst also adding new aspects that makes this Vaer G5 Meridian watch more desirable than the other options in our opinion.
