New LEGO Technic Release - 42177 Mercedes-Benz G 500 Professional Line
LEGO TECHNIC G WAGON ARRIVES AUGUST 2024
LEGO has announced the release of the 42177 Technic Mercedes-Benz G 500 PROFESSIONAL Line and we take a closer look at what's on offer.
First produced in 1979, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is celebrating its 45th birthday this year. Popular worldwide and with many celebrities, including Arnold Schwarzenegger and Kevin Hart, proud to be seen behind the wheel, this outstanding off-road vehicle is just going from strength to strength.
In 2023, the G-Wagen celebrated having produced 500,000 vehicles and a special edition was created to pay homage to the vintage G-Wagen that started it all. This was based on the 1986 280GE and used agave green exterior paint, one of the first available paint colours for the G-Class.

WHEN IS THE MERCEDES-BENZ G 500 PROFESSIONAL LINE BEING RELEASED?
The LEGO 42177 Technic Mercedes-Benz G 500 Professional Line is available to pre-order now on the official LEGO website, ready to zoom into action from 1st August 2024.
HOW MUCH IS THE LEGO TECHNIC MERCEDES-BENZ G 500 PROFESSIONAL LINE?
LEGO 42177 Technic Mercedes-Benz G 500 Professional Line is priced at £219.99.
ARE THERE ANY LEGO MINIFIGURES INCLUDED WITH LEGO 42177?
No LEGO Minifigures are included with the latest LEGO Technic Mercedes-Benz G 500 vehicle.
HOW MANY PIECES DOES THE LEGO TECHNIC MERCEDES-BENZ G 500 PROFESSIONAL LINE HAVE?
LEGO 42177 Technic Mercedes-Benz G 500 Professional Line has 2,891 pieces.
The LEGO Mercedes-Benz G 500 Professional Line has a working steering wheel and raised suspension. The hood can be opened to expose the realistic 6-cylinder in-line piston engine. The working gearbox features drive, neutral and reverse. It features two differential locks (the real Mercedes-Benz G 500 has three). These give the driver more traction as you have control of all four wheels, which is a must-have for off-road vehicles. No more getting stuck in awkward places!
The doors open to reveal a detailed interior, but unfortunately, there are no temperature-controlled cup holders! Like its real-life counterpart, LEGO 42177 has a spare tyre on the rear door, a ladder, and a roof rack. The roof rack can be used to erect a tent, turning the G wagon into a camper van.
This will look great in a display with LEGO 10317 Land Rover Classic Defender 90 and LEGO 42110 Technic Land Rover Defender.
iDisplayit offers acrylic cases for these two previous LEGO releases. If you are lucky enough to have them in your collection and wish to keep them looking fresh you can find the products in their off-road vehicles LEGO display collection.
