Perfect
" This set is brilliant. It’s so good it makes the Ninjago City set look even better.
I did find it a bit tricky to build. The designers have opted to build some walls brick upon brick and then only securing them (to adjacent walls) at the very top. This of course makes the build some what unstable for a short period of time. I do think younger builders may find this a challenge.
The colour scheme and decoration elements are fantastic. The stickers are less than 60 so a massive improvement on its predecessor.
It comes with a large amount of Minifigures although I do find it super tedious getting the same Lloyd and Garmadon figures over and over and over again......yawn.

Other than that I really hope Lego make another addition to this theme.

Perfect build
" This addition is definitely the most original looking I think. It really stands out in the row.
There are some brilliant build techniques, many to carry on into future builds, and the colour scheme will always be unique I should imagine. Also the functionality is top notch.
It’s a must have if you’re a creator expert fan. "

Great storage-masking tape required
" I have loads of these. At least 20 in various sizes. The gapped rings in the bottom are really annoying. Masking tape is the best solution I believe. Loose bricks don’t stick to it and it can be removed without much residue.
It’s definitely worth doing I feel as these are brilliant for sorting and storing Lego. "

Cute & cuddly
" I’m really happy with this. He sits on my desk chair waiting for me.
I am glad I waited for the sale though. He’s not that big but clearly well made. He can stand upright on his own.
Overall extremely happy with my quite scary looking soft toy. "

Excellent set but a bit small
" I’ve built this set this evening it looks ace and it’s nice to see that the designers have taken a different approach from the narrow, stacked look of 60141.
I especially like the little garage compartment for the motorbike. There’s even a little hat stand for the helmet, brilliant.
Once built it does look quite small as it’s more compact than many of its predecessors which, I think, makes the price seem a bit high. Also I was a bit disappointed as there aren’t any of the new leaf parts included (just the old ones that break really easily) but then this did come out in 2017.
I love the lion and the hollow log guy so five stars. "

Ace build with no major problems
" I've read nearly all the reviews on here and noticed some people had missing bags or extra ones. I had all the right bags only not in the right order. The number 10 bags weren't in the box but the 11's were, no big deal.
I've noticed no one has wrote anything about the brick structure that holds the tree. I don't get that. I think the designers could have used that space as another room for the little flat above it with the bunk beds. The tree could have been built into the wall exterior rather than using the big technic ball joint bricks.
That's my only complaint other than the awful stickers.
They're not even in order on the sticker sheets. Awful awful awful. Stickers are awful. "

Great set but terrible box.
" This set is ace (that's obvious) and the free battle pod is awesome. But the set box is literally TWICE the size of the actual contents.
This isn't good for many reasons; transportation, storing etc but does seeing a big box on the shelf distract you from the price? Who knows. I think Lego should rethink their packaging tactics. It's not cool!!! "

Bring on the bad guys.
" There is only one flaw with this set; the prison door can't stay shut underneath when the vehicle is flat.
The old prison doors were much better. They clicked shut!
Bring em back Lego. "

Brilliant
" I love this new theme especially the fact that there're 3 big cat figures in the entire range. Similar themes like the City Forest, the police station had a bear but I think it was the only set in the range that came with one.
I do agree with the previous review though there isn't much space for all the Minifigures in the vehicles. I think I'll modify mine to accommodate the Minifigures.
Over all fantastic theme.
