77264 Jaguar F-TYPE Project 7 & Land Rover Defender Classic<\/a> features another dual pack in 2026 marking the most expensive set of the August 2026 wave, this time featuring two British icons \u2013\u00a0the Jaguar F-Type and the Land Rover Defender! <\/p>\n

This (very different) pairing speeds onto shelves, but promises an engaging build process that may even break the mold as far as your typical Speed Champions set goes! Let\u2019s hop into the driver\u2019s seat and take a closer look.<\/p>\n

Special thanks to the LEGO Group for sending this set over for review.<\/p>\n

Review: LEGO Speed Champions 77264 Jaguar F-TYPE Project 7 & Land Rover Defender Classic Set Details<\/p>\n

\n 77264 Jaguar F-TYPE Project 7 & Land Rover Defender Classic Set Details\n <\/p>\n

\n Minifigures <\/p>\n

2 (Jaguar Driver, Land Rover Driver)<\/p>\n

\n Retail Price <\/p>\n

US$59.99 \/ AU$79.99 \/ \u20ac54.99 \/ \u00a344.99 \/ CAD$84.99 <\/p>\n

Unboxing<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The box is pretty thick, but otherwise a pretty standard design as far as Speed Champions dual packs go. Both cars are shown speeding along a highway on the front, and parked up on a luxury driveway around the back.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Inside are ten numbered paper bags \u2013 which does seem like quite a lot for a set just containing two cars \u2013 and\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2026two instruction manuals, two sticker sheets, and an unnumbered plastic bag with miscellaneous larger pieces. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There are 24 stickers in this set, which is certainly a lot, but is actually on the lower side for a Speed Champions set of this size. Thankfully, none were too difficult to apply, apart from stickers 1-3 which needed to be aligned to form a continuous line or pattern.<\/p>\n

Build Process<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bag 1 starts with work on the Jaguar, adding the driver minifigure and building out the chassis. Bag 2 adds the external paneling for the rear bodywork, and starts working on the interior.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bag 3 builds out more of the external paneling, and bag 4 finishes up the Jaguar.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bag 5 starts work on the Defender; unlike the typical Speed Champions cars this is not built on the standard chassis piece \u2013 breaking the typical mold from the jump. Bag 6 adds more foundational detail to the base, along with some paneling around the rear.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bag 7 builds out the interior, which bag 8 completes alongside the doors, windows, and rear pillars.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bag 9 adds the front bonnet and bodywork of the Defender, while bag 10 adds the wheels, roof, and additional external detail to finish off the model. <\/p>\n

On the whole, this was an engaging build process with advanced techniques \u2013\u00a0as Speed Champions sets always are \u2013 with construction of both cars\u2019 front fascia being a highlight. Furthermore, the design of the Land Rover deviates significantly from the sports car shaping that we typically get from the theme, and that certainly made it more engaging: carrying that same level of detail and intricate build techniques, but used to construct a wholly different overall shape.<\/p>\n

Minifigures <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Two minifigures are included, one for each car. The Jaguar driver gets an exclusive printed sweater design along with a printed helmet which matches the livery of the car, while the Defender driver has an outdoorsy design for his outfit, including a dark tan scarf.<\/p>\n

The earthy tones of the Defender\u2019s driver is such a quintessential British countryside combination. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Around the back, there are more specialised prints \u2013 the Jaguar driver featuring the Project 7 logo and striping, and the Defender driver having the \u201cDefender\u201d wording printed in the same stylized font on the rear of his jacket. <\/p>\n

Completed Model<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the completed Jaguar F-TYPE Project 7. It looks pretty standard as far as Speed Champions sports cars go, with a nice blue design with white accents.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The front fascia manages to nail that distinct modern Jaguar front grille design, with a combination of prints, stickers, and brick-built detail \u2013\u00a0I particularly like the printed grille surrounded by an upside-down mudguard piece. The headlights are printed which is a reasonable compromise, but the opacity of the white print looks noticeably different from the ones on the stickers, which is a bit disappointing. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The rear looks good too, with gentle curving lines achieved with a variety of slope pieces. In particular, the rear lights look fantastic with subtle blue prints on the sides of the plates, while the bottom fender features more detail thanks to some repurposed binoculars and axe blade pieces. The rear wing also features the new 1\u00d71 spoiler strut piece, which helps to keep the proportions neat and tidy. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The interior is simple but tidy; with a stickered 1\u00d73 slope for the central console and a shiny gear shifter. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There is ample space to fit the minifigure into the driver\u2019s seat, while the passenger side actually has a clear minifigure head piece which serves as a stand for the helmet. The driver\u2019s seat also gets a special brick-built headrest integrated into the bodywork. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Moving on to the Defender, which is already a noticeably much chunkier and larger build \u2013\u00a0it practically dwarfs the minifigure and looks like an absolute tank!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Since the model deviates from the standard Speed Champions template, it certainly looks quite different from the underside, but this view actually hides some more details \u2013 including a shiny silver exhaust pipe and a couple of bars running along the main bodywork! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Despite its blocky shaping, it still hides lots of complex build techniques, especially around the front \u2013 with a chunky front grille and \u201cDefender\u201d branded printing. I particularly like the brick-built headlights, which even feature brick-built turn signal lights using trans-orange bar pieces showing through hollow studs. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The rear features more brick-built lighting, this time using minifigure neck brackets to provide the surrounding frame around the trans-coloured 1\u00d71 plates. A skateboard piece is used as the rear running board, which is undoubtedly useful given how high the body of the Defender sits!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The cab is nicely detailed too, although it does look slightly chaotic. The rear windows are mounted at a slight inwards angle, sitting above printed 2\u00d74 tiles representing the door panels. Lots of bar pieces are used around the roof and windscreen to create a rollcage frame. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Inside is space for two minifigures side-by-side, along with a simulated third row (although it does not actually fit a full minifigure sitting down). The dark orange upholstery adds a welcome splash of colour.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The upholstery continues to the front, where there is a stickered 1\u00d72 tile with the Land Rover logo representing the glovebox alongside a standard steering wheel piece. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Of course, the Land Rover Defender driver fits comfortably inside the cabin, riding high atop the car\u2019s four gigantic wheels.<\/p>\n

Final Thoughts<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

77264 Jaguar F-TYPE Project 7 & Land Rover Defender Classic<\/a> is a pretty good Speed Champions dual pack. The models live up to the high standards we expect from the theme, with a good level of detail, unusual build techniques, and a generally satisfactory level of accuracy. Price is comparatively good too \u2013 it costs twice the price of a normal Speed Champions single set, but the Defender is certainly a much larger-than-average build so you are getting more bang for your buck, even if the Speed Champions theme no longer presents as outstanding of a value proposition with all the recent price increases, but that\u2019s consistent with LEGO across the board if you\u2019ve been collecting for a while. <\/p>\n

The only potential key areas of criticism are the minifigures \u2013 which are generally uninteresting, but that is to be expected for sets like these, and at least they have exclusive prints \u2013\u00a0and the fact that it\u2019s a slightly random pairing. <\/p>\n

Perhaps some fans would have preferred to get one car but not the other, and they don\u2019t particularly complement each other for play despite both being iconic British cars. Still, on the whole, this is a pretty solid set that any LEGO car enthusiast would enjoy.<\/p>\n

\n Build <\/p>\n

\n Generally pretty tidy designs across both models, with an engaging and detailed build process. <\/p>\n

\n Minifigures <\/p>\n

\n Acceptable, but far from standout in a $60 set \u2013 the exclusive prints relating to their specific cars are cool though. <\/p>\n

\n Real Value <\/p>\n

\n The models aren\u2019t huge for the price point, but are packed with detail and represent better value than the standard lone Speed Champions models. <\/p>\n

\n Innovation <\/p>\n

\n Excellent build techniques as always from this theme. <\/p>\n

\n Keepability <\/p>\n

\n A slightly random pairing, but both are relatively well-known cars that should stand the test of time relatively well. <\/p>\n
