" What a fun set to build and play with. The Funhouse is really tall and the track is quite long for a set of this size. The extra features really add to the value of this set. The trap door, moving floor, big hammer, and crane add to the fun. The track car and wall busting feature work great. It also comes with a cool batcycle. I was also impressed with the extra head and hat for the Riddler that goes in one of the windows. The purple barrel is also very cool.
The minfigs in this set are totally awesome. Classic Batman, Robin, The Riddler, The Joker, and Harley Quinn are all very detailed and unique.
Pros:
Awesome minifigs
Big funhouse
Working track
Fun features in the funhouse
Batcycle
Purple barrel

" This is an awesome LEGO set. The vehicles in this set are amazing. The batmobile is very large and detailed. I like the "dragon wings" on the back along with the flames. It is a very solid build and looks great when completed. Two-Face's truck is also very cool. I really like the purple and orange combination of colors. The side "machine gun" attachment was a pleasant surprize. The truck is not as long as the batmobile, but is much taller. The hook to grab the safe is a clever feature. The bank itself is quite small. The window breaking feature is cool. The safe comes with money tiles which is always fun.
The black suit Batman is really cool. This is my favorite Batman outfit. He has a dual printed head. His cape is nice and he comes with a batarang. Two Face is also very nicely done. He is very detailed with his purple and orange suit. I also like his hair piece. The two henchmen and one police officer are ok. The heads of the henchmen are similar to the ones from the City Police line. The orange and purple suits are a plus.
Pros:
Black costume Batman
Awesome Batmobile
Two-Face minifig with cool hair
Large truck
Two-Face's color scheme of purple and orange
Money tiles
Safe
Got a brick seperator in my set!!

" Minifigures Series 6 is a fun collection of minifigs and accessories! For people who have never purchased these before, be aware that you get one random minifig in a sealed bag. I have collected all the minifig series so far and I think this series has a great variety of figures. I'm really impressed with the 5 female figures in this wave (Liberty, Dancer, Surgeon, Skate Boarder, and Galaxy Girl). I also like the white packaging for this series. I will review each minifig in order of the included poster and review what to look for when feeling the packages for the figure you want the most...I spent about 35 mins at my local retail store finding each figure.
Also be aware each package comes with a small stand and mini-poster, so don't get confused when you feel these items.
Also be aware each package comes with a small stand and mini-poster, so don't get confused when you feel these items.
Alien: Is a pretty plain figure. He is grey and comes with a laser gun. He has a detailed torso and large rounded head. I like that his eyes are raised. Feel for the laser and verify it by the larger than normal head.
Celtic Warrior: I really like the detailed torso and legs on the warrior. His face has stubble and he looks like he's ready "Charge" after his opponent. His hair piece is the same used for Lucius Malfoy and Dumbledore in the Harry Potter theme. He also comes with a sword and detailed shield. Feel for the round shield, long hair, and sword.
"Sleepy Head": Is a unique minifig. The torso has double sided printing (including the sleeves!) and the legs have front printing of the same striped design. The teddy bear is really cute. The face is also dual sided with a yawning face and sleeping face. Finally, his exclusive "bed head" hair piece is fantastic!! Feel for the bear and hair.
Statue of Liberty: I really like the Statue of Liberty figure. She has very detailed robes on the front of the torso and block legs. The hair/crown piece is rubber and designed very well. I like the sand green coloring of the figure. The torch and book complete the look of Lady Liberty!! Feel for the block legs (really easy to find) and then search for the torch handle.
Bandit: The bandit is one of my favorites in this series. He has dual printing of the criss crossed bullets across the front and back of the torso. He also has his holster printed on the legs. He comes with his black hat, two guns, and red bandana. I also like his brown leather gloves. Feel for the guns and hat.
Flamenco Dancer: She has a black and red dual printed torso and front printing on her block legs. She has the same hair piece (different color) as the ice dancer and a similar fan to the Kimono Girl from Series 4. Feel for the block legs and verify by the hair or fan.
Robot: We haven't had a robot since Series 1. This one is very unique with his square head. The printing is very detailed on the torso and legs. He is mostly gray with red hands. I like the "wind up" feature on his back. Feel for the neck/backpack piece, square head, and wind up piece.
Minotaur: The Minotaur is awesome! He has a very unique head piece (horns attach separately), printed torso with muscles, and detailed leg printing. He also comes with an axe. Feel for his big face, handle of axe, and small horns.
Leprechaun: The Leprechaun is also very cool. He looks exactly like you would expect. He has the short mini-legs, top hat with buckle, pot of gold, and reddish colored beard. The torso is front printed with a typical Leprechaun suit. The pot of gold consists of three round "bead" pieces. Feel for the round gold pieces, hat, and mini-legs that don't bend.
Roman Soldier: This is my favorite from this series. The helmet, armor printing on the torso and legs, detailed shield, and spear are all amazing! Feel for the spear (longest piece in the series), helmet, and shield. All are easy to spot.
Surgeon: The Surgeon is a cool mini-fig. She has her blue scrubs, hair protector, needle, X-ray, and printed mask on her face. The X-ray is hilarious because of the skeleton design. Feel for the needle, hair, and the square x-ray.
Skater Girl: This is the third skater overall, but the first female skater. There was one in Series 1 and Series 4. She has a white board with a heart with wings and star with a skull printed on the board. She has a black hoody (dual printed), printed sleeves (black and hot pink), and black pants with belt and pocket printing. She is very cute and well designed. Feel for the skate board and seperate wheels.
Galaxy Girl: This is my second favorite in this series. She has a determined look on her face, pink helmet, blonde hair, and blue laser gun. Her space suit is printed on the front of the torso and legs. Her suit is pink with silver detailing. You would have to remove her hair to put the helmet on her head. She would fit in well with the Space Man from Series 1 or the Alien Conquest line. Feel for the laser, gun, and helmet.
Butcher: The Butcher is a very different minifig. He has his apron, bow tie, hat, butcher knife, and t-bone steak. His apron is printed on the torso and legs. The steak is a fantastic accessory. Too bad a hot dog wasn't included. Feel for the steak, knife, and hat.
Mechanic: The Mechanic is pretty funny. He comes with a wrench and tool box. He has oil/grease splashed on his clothes and face. His hair makes him look like Elvis. The printing is on the front of his torso and legs. The tool box doesn't open. Feel for the wrench, tool box, and hair.
Genie: The Genie is very cool. He is blue with a purple vest and turban. He has gold gloves, gold magic lamp/bottle, and jewel that fits in the turban. He has a very unique design for his legs, which resembles hovering/swirling/coming out of the lamp. Feel for the lamp, turban, and no legs.
Celtic Warrior: I really like the detailed torso and legs on the warrior. His face has stubble and he looks like he's ready "Charge" after his opponent. His hair piece is the same used for Lucius Malfoy and Dumbledore in the Harry Potter theme. He also comes with a sword and detailed shield. Feel for the round shield, long hair, and sword.

Overall this is a great set of minifigs. I hope this review helps you find the ones you really want when you see them at a store. There are many unique figures and fun accessories in this series.

" This is a cute little starter set for the Friends line. You receive an Emma "mini-doll" with this set. She's wearing a purple shirt with a pink skirt. The set comes with a small pool/jacuzzi and a sun chair with umbrella. I really like the different colored bricks in this set/theme. The aqua blue, pink, and green bricks are really cool. I also like the clear blue sides of the pool. Overall, this is a fun small set that is very cost effective.
Pros:
Emma Mini-doll figure
Relaxing pool and lounge chair with umbrella
Cool new brick colors
Very cost effective

" I didn't know what to expect from the Friends line. As a minifig collector, the taller and more realistic figures in this line gave me pause. However, I am glad to report that they are very fun and cute. I really like the pastel colored bricks in most of the sets. Getting "sky" blue bricks and purple tools is always nice. Olivia has her desk (with working drawers), black board, tools, microscope, and cool robot who reminds me of "Wall-E." Olivia has green pants and an orange shirt.
Pros:
Olivia minifig
Fun set with work shop accessories (black board, jars, microscope)
Desk has working drawers
Purple tools and cool colored bricks
Robot

I think it's great that LEGO has created a product line aimed for girls. I have told many friends who have daughters about the Friends line. I also like that the main characters are available in cost friendly sets.

" This is a very fun starter set for the DC Comics line of products. The purple cycle is very cool. I'm always happy when purple shows up in any LEGO set. I think the street light is designed very well. The minifigs are very nice. Batman has his classic outfit with blue wings and mask. The wings have a jet pack attached to them. He also comes with a fun battarang piece. Catwoman has her mask, stolen diamond, and whip that attaches to the cycle. They both have dual printed faces. I am very impressed with the paint job and details on the torso of both figs.
Pros:
2 awesome minfigs Batman and Catwoman
Purple motorcycle
Fun accessories (street light, newspaper, diamond, battarang)
Classic costume for Batman
Con:
No hair piece for Catwoman for when she doesn't have her mask on.

" WOW. I was really impressed with this set. I really wanted it for the Superman and Wonder Woman Minifigs, but Lex Luthor and the Armored Suit are pretty cool too. The Armored Suit was quite fun to build. It came together pretty easily once the legs were built. I was surprised how many points of articulation the suit has. It is very poseable as a result. I've never been into Bionicle or Hero Factory, but I hope those lines are as sturdy and durable as the Armored Suit. The minifigs are stellar. I'm especially thrilled about the very detailed paint jobs on the figs. Superman and WW both have double sided faces. The hair pieces on both of them are also well done, even showing the curl on Supes and WW's tiara. I think the price is very reasonable for all that you get in this set.
Pros:
3 Awesome minifigs of Superman, Wonder Woman, and Lex Luthor
Detailed printing on minifigs
Superman's red cape
Wonder Woman's lasso
Lex Luthor's armored suit
Suit is very sturdy and poseable
Nice color scheme of green and purple!!

" I really enjoy reading and looking at this book. The pictures of all the Star Wars LEGO minifigs are awesome!! The book features the minifigs from all six movies (Phantom Menace to Return of the Jedi), the Clone Wars movie and TV show, and ends with the Expanded Universe (primarily Force Unleashed). The index in the back of the book lists every minifigure alphabetically and lists the reference number of each LEGO set that figure has appeared. It also has an exclusive Medal Ceremony Han Solo minifigure. I enjoyed this book so much, I bought one for my nephew's birthday.
Pros:
Exclusive Han Solo minifigure
Full page photos of each minifigure
Descriptions and pics of some variants
Index that indicates which LEGO set(s) to find the minifig
Interesting facts about the accessories of the minifigs
Many descriptions focus on the hair piece that is used and what pieces are used in different themes

" I really like the Yoda Minifig Alarm Clock. It is shorter than the other Star Wars Minifig Clocks, but don't judge it by it's size!! His arms and hands are poseable. I especially enjoy the bright green color of the night light when you push the head down. It is really a unique item. All it needs is a proper sized brick to stand on and a lightsaber that fits in his hand. If Kai from Ninjago can have his sword, we need lightsabers for our Star Wars clocks!! The detail on the clock is well done, especially the hair, ears, eyes, and robe.

" ...from Wyplash. Here we have another of the skeleton army. The spinner is translucent with blue on top and purple on the bottom. Wyplash is a pretty cool minifig. I really like the bigger shoulder pad armor. It is bigger than the armor that Nuckal came with. I also like that his hat is included. His weapons include a bone, a whip (naturally), and a twin chain whip (hence the name).
Pros:
Cool Wyplash minifig
Nice colored spinner
Shoulder pad armour
Hat is included
Interesting weapons
Light blue bricks
Cons:
Price: I think most of the spinners are a little too expensive given what you receive.
Not a fan of how the arms are on the skeletons. I think additional arms should be included if you want to hold the weapons up instead of sideways.
