It's alright but Lego can do better
" In short the set looks great and I love the demon minifigures but this set is painfully bland. There's no interesting transformations or things for the minifigs to interact with. Lego needs to offer more than this at this price point. Within the MK line alone they have brilliant sets like Pigsy's Food Truck and Mei Dragon Jet, I recommend getting those first before considering this set.

Absolutely incredible!
" I've built many sets over the last 6 months but this is one really blew me away!
------------------
For context I didn't like the look of the car, I have no interest in Bugatti but I am a fan of Technic builds. After having built the model I love the look of it in person! I've built the 42056 Porsche and really enjoyed how that set looked but this set improves upon that set on almost every level.
The build was challenging without being frustrating (looking at you 42009). The instructions are excellent. The process keeps you engaged throughout constantly throwing at you ingenious building techniques. It really is a pleasure to put together because it constantly surprises you.
------------------
In conclusion if you have any interest in Technic at all or you like satisfying builds like the Falcon (75192) I can't recommend this set enough, I can't believe I almost missed this one. Can't wait to build the Sian now!

Most adorable set ever
" This is the only set I own 2 of, the pictures don't do it justice.
The build is so much fun! The details and minifig accessories are abundant, way better than this year's Spring lantern festival and that's saying something.
My favourite set below 100 pounds, highly recommended 10/10!

Amazing
" For context, this is the only Star Wars set I own and I'm not a big Star Wars fan in general, I just like big sets. Anyway I could gush about this set but I'll keep it short.
------------
This is the most satisfying set I've ever built. The interior although limited is good and really adds to the feeling of it being a Lego set. The removable plates are an ingenious design allowing for easy access, they just require a bit of competence to remove and replace. About 25% of the way into the build it becomes a bit of a slog but once it starts coming together (around half way) it really is amazing and fun to see each section be placed on the frame.
------------
Overall this is currently #4 in the list of my favourite sets only beaten out by Ninjago City Gardens, Ninjago City and Welcome to Apocalypseburg. If you can afford it any have the space I do recommend!

Subpar modular building
" I have very mixed feelings about this set. On one hand I love the blue house, it's one of the best looking modulars in my opinion and the highlight of the set. On the other hand this set is all about the bookshop which is really just empty on the inside. There's a real lack of detail and the walls are bare. It really feels unfinished which honestly isn't up to standard considering Lego only produces one set for this series a year.
Of the 7 or 8 modulars I built I'd say this is probably at or near the bottom of the list. If you don't have experience with the modulars I'd recommend trying some of the others first before picking this up.

Batman™ fans and anyone who appreciates cool cars will love the LEGO® DC Batman 76139 1989 Batmobile™ model car kit for adults. This beautifully detailed LEGO brick building toy replicates the classic curves of the famous Batmobile car, as seen in the 1989 Batman movie. Measuring over 60cm long and built from 3,306 pieces, the model offers a challenging and rewarding build. Die-hard fans will love authentic features such as the slide-open cockpit with a new-for-November-2019 wraparound windshield element, 2 hidden machine guns with a pop-up function activated by turning the turbine exhaust, and decorative grappling hooks on each side of the vehicle. The Batman toy car comes with a rotating display stand (with an attached information plate with 1989 Batmobile™ statistics) for ease of viewing from any angle. A must-have for all Batman fans, this super-hero toy construction set also includes 3 new-for-November-2019 minifigures—Batman with a cape that matches his 1989 movie outfit, The Joker™ and Vicki Vale™—plus a brick-built minifigure display stand.

Just an excellent display model
" If you like to look of this set, want a display piece and have the space, just buy it. You won't be disappointed.
Personally I don't purchase technic or brick built models of vehicles anymore since I found I prefer minifig scale sets. This and the Batwing are exceptions worth having, just too cool to miss out on.

Incredibly fun build and good value
" I've never built a Pirate set and personally don't really like the look of the finished island. With that said I can't give this set anything less than an 8.5/10. It's a really fun build with great detail, options for play and really good value compared to most Lego sets.
-------
One thing that would improve the set is the inclusion of instructions to change the ship back into the island. Working backwards was actually a lot more difficult than expected.

This is a set every Lego fan should experience. I won't be keeping this one but it's definitely one of the most fun build experiences I've had.

Love this set but could have been even better
" Originally I wasn't planning on getting this set but I really wanted that Princess Iron Fan minifig! I'm really glad I picked it up, I haven't built a mech since I was a kid and even though this isn't technically a mech it really reminded me how much fun brick built figures can be.
-------------------
Pros:
-Great mini figs
-Looks awesome in person, the final model really has a presence about it.
-Arm articulation is good enough for display poses but could still be improved.
-The light brick really fits so well in this set. More so than sets like Spring Lantern Festival or even the Medieval blacksmith.

Cons:
-Mainly a lack of leg articulation.
-The head can only really sit in one position.
-The stickers on the curved cannons take a bit of patience, may take a few tries to get right.

This was a great introduction to the line. I've just moved onto the Monkie King Warrior Mech and I can already tell it's a top tier set.
I'm sad it seems a lot of the western Lego fans will miss both the show and this theme. I'd say if you're curious about the line pick up the Warrior Mech first and come back to this if you like that build.

Better than expected
" I wasn't really expecting to enjoy this set much. I only really asked for it for Christmas because I purchased the Batmobile a couple of months earlier, thinking I may as well get both.
I don't know if it's because I got the set for free but I enjoyed the build more than any other pure display set I've purchased so far. I found the sheer size of the model and interesting building techniques fun and engaging.
The model you're left with at the end looks awesome. It has a real cool factor to it that models like the Saturn V just don't have. Finally the ability to wall mount this set is the cherry on top, I hope Lego make appropriate use of that wall mounting part again in the future.
Objectively the Batmobile is superior but there's something about this set that I just love. I'm the sort of person that sells sets a couple of months after the build but this 1 (like the other Batmobiles) is a real keeper. If you're a fan of air/space ships, wall mounting or cool display models don't miss out on this 1.
