" This is definitely one of the best LEGO Movie sets. The build was enjoyable, though not particularly challenging. The Glider includes several really nice new pieces, particularly the silver chicken. Unfortunately the glider doesn't stand on it's own nor do the wings support it's weight while laying down (they fold up). That means that the set can't really be displayed properly (though that's a minor nitpick for me). All three minifigs are very nice, Emmet looks appropriately scared while the robots have very detailed torsos and legs. A huge plus about the robots is that with a simple head and hand swap you can make a couple of really nice cowboys! Last but not least, the horse's ability to rear really adds to it's possibility!
Overall, this set is excellent, particularly the minifigures! A great buy! "

" I was agreably surprised when I saw this areana as to how big it is. It's a lot bigger than it looks (like my title says - although the plastic is very thin); I was just getting it for Sensei Wu and his spinner. It is also the cheapest way to get him (although it does not include a character card). I don't really like Wu's face, but he has a nice beard and excelent detailing on his suit. Of course, with the new 2012 spinners, his is a bit outdated, but it is still nice to have. Overall, I'd say get this while you can - Sensei Wu is an important minifigure! "

" This is one of the best booster packs (not that there are so many. . . ), especially since Zane is awesome in his ZX suit. He has very nice detailing, especially on the back of his torso. His cards, Counter Attack especially (cancel opponent's card) are very good. Personnally, I don't like Black Ice Sheild (add the pieces included in booster pack) as much because I think most bricks added to your spinner don't really give you that much of an advantage in a spinner battle (plus it's not compatible with a 2011 spinner). The set's weapons are average as far as being useful in battle, but the golden weapon is composed of a lot of useful peices (a chain, fang, shurikins - an extra one of these! - and a pole - all golden, of course). The weapon with the dimond has a nice front piece mainly since it is silver and not just grey (which means that it is the same color as Jay's shoulder armor).
Overall, I love this booster pack. In fact, all the booster packs are a great deal and an easy way to get minifigures and cards. I certainly recomend this product! "

" NRG Jay's spinner is amazing! The spinner itself is an awesome transparent blue (much better than Seinsei Wu DX's), and has really impressive lightning detailing. The spinner crown is also a very nice color, especially since it matches almost perfectly with the bottom of the spinner. Also, NRG Jay himself has some nice detailing, and a very nice shine to his body. His face is by far the coolest of the three NRG's so far! The cards are excellent, especially Duel Burst which is actually 0 fire SP! - of course, that means it's also 0 of anything else!
The one con I have to this set is the character card's SP, which is only 900 - but after all, if you have Jay ZX that's not really a problem. "

" This is an awesome set, especially since it comes with ten weapons and a lot of rare peices. I especially like Chokun's spinner; his spinner top actually goes very well with Kai's spinner. NRG Kai does not have a particularly good looking face, although it doesn't look that bad with the mask on. Both character cards are really cool (although neither are stellar as far as SP goes. . .) and Sensei's Whistle (This spin was a tie) is a very cool (and useful) card. I also like elemental stregth (add 100 SP to all four of your powers).
Overall, this is a great set! "

" This is actually a very nice spinner, although I don't particularly enjoy the NRG heads. However, with a normal Cole face, he looks vastly improved. The spinner it self is fairly nice, and the cards, especially Sensei's teatime (This spin was a tie) and Snake Quake (Crown card. Subtract 100 SP form you opponent's earth), are excelent. The NRG SP is, however, remarkable bad! The syche is a great weapon as well! "

" This is an awesome set, especilly for the money - compared to a spinner, it's actually more pieces for half the price! The golden chainsaw weapon is awesome, but it's not that good for spining - it's better just to use the chain saw all by itself. Avalanche (Lay down card. Opponent looses if spinner touches it) is a great card, and so is double stars (throw two cards durning spin until you loose your crown): although, unfourtunatly, it has a tendancy to ruin whichever cards you throw so I don't use it. Fast as lightning doesn't work that well for me, mainly since all my opponents are adepts at evasive spining - plus, it only works with new spinners. Jay ZX does have a great character card, though, especially since there are now a lot of great four lightining cards! Overall, I would deffninatly recomend this set! "

" This is a very nice set. Not a very nice symbol on the spinner, althought that doesn't matter so much as it is covered by the crown. I was a little disappointed with the color of the spinner (too orange for me) but a much nicer spinner crown than I had at first imagened. A great plus there is that it has no distinctivly fire elements about it, so it is useful with almost any spinner. Also impressed by the snake statue (nice detailing - plus a lot of unique elements in the entire set, at least to me) and the entire idea of running into it and knocking weapons out. I also like the cards (especially extinguish - oponent's fire and lightning cards are worth one more SP until you loose your crown). Kendo Kai's character card is also very nice (a lot nicer than it looks!) Kendo gear is, unfortunately, a little plain, but overall this is a very good set, and I would definatly recomend it! "

" Cole DX is a really cool minifigure, but his dragon suit has horns printed on it which arn't so cool. On awesome thing is, though, he has his name on the back (all the DX characters do). his cards arn't terribly good - Smokescreen especially is knd of rediculous. Weapon frenzy is good (not as good as backdraft) but he is the only character who can play it. his weapons arn't spectacular, but it DOES come whit the scythe of quakes, which is awesome but not the best for spinning. The grey sword is cool to but the spear is kind of boaring. The main problem i have with his spinner is that it is all different colors - black, golden, and red. Plus, the new pieces (example the ones that com with cole kendo) do not fit underneath. It was a great idea of Lego, though it's too bad they didn't think of it before! Over all, this is good if you're main goal is to collect all the spiners or all the forms of Cole. If not - get a newer spinner! gid617 "
