Wall - E
" Another nice ideas set from Lego. Goes nice along side my Ghostbusters ECHO - 1 and Batman's Tumbler.
Very simple, straight forward build. You are building a box with eyes and treads, how hard can that be? no challenges and no surprises with this one.
I do like the overall look to this one. But I have to say that the treads don't move easily so I could see that being a hamper on someone young that purchased this one to play with, not display as I have done. I also find that the neck is loose and the eyes seem out of balance so that when playing with him will have them wandering all around. I think a thicker neck or better connection to the eyes themselves might help that problem.

Overall I like Wall E and can't wait for the next old movie or TV show that comes out of Ideas. How about The Enterprise or Battlestar Galactica?

" Another nice simple set from Lego.
Again like all my sets this was purchased as a display set and I like it.
Bought this one because a fan of the movies I felt this one had the best display value and looked best compared to the other figures that Lego has made so far (Boba Fett or Stormtrooper next maybe??).
No major challenges and no major surprises with this build. I found it simple and straight forward.

New TIE Fighter
" This was a nice simple build. No challenges, and straight forward. I do like the new look of the wings..a carry over from the UCS TIE fighter it seems. Has the new look with the newer way to connect the wings to the body.
I do like the double cockpit look. It makes it just enough different from the others in my collection that it made the purchase worth it.

As a collector of mainly the original sets, built for display purposes I was hesitant if I was going to start collecting the Force Awaken sets as I have passed on majority of the prequels and Rebels collections. But because this set is very close the original sets that I decided to go for it, glad I did.

You are in my spot!!!!
" When I saw that this was going to be built on Lego Ideas I believe I hit the roof. I have been a fan of the show since that first walk up the stairs.
This set I believe is purely for the fan of BBT and collector of Lego for Display only like myself. I see some playability but would definitely need to add to it to get a lot of enjoyment, maybe add the kitchen (just right there and would not take much effort) and even the boy's bedrooms.
The build itself was easy and no challenge, just a lot of details that I had to keep stopping to enjoy and take in. Love all the little background stuff...but do question the addition of the dinner plates and such, was this added to get the piece count up?
The minifigs were as close as Lego was probably going to get. Like that they included all 7 characters as I don't see Lego making this a series. I do wish that they kept the original idea of using smaller legs on Bernnie so that she appeared smaller than others. Another thing that Lego could have done was instead of the before mentioned Dinner wear they could have included additional shirts for Sheldon.
Overall I love this set and glad Lego went ahead and approved it for creation.

use your hate.....
" Another good set.
As someone who mostly collects the ships for display uses only I had been debating about getting this one for a long time. Finally decided to add mainly because with the next movie coming out, retiring of more orginal sets all the time it seems the original movie sets days are numbered.

This set was straight forward and a simple build. No surprises or wow momments on this one. The set does seem a little lopsided with the three areas as in the movie the setup was different. The shute down to the center of the Death Star wasn't on the same level as the throne and the cat walk was more behind than beside. But again being a small set and wanting to add playability I see why done this way.
I do like the new Darth Vader helmet and think this is the way to go from now on.
Now how about a new Cloud City set?

I shouldn' have come.......
" A nice little shuttle we got here. It is a nice addition to my collection of original Star Wars ships.
The build was simple and with no difficulty that I could find. The top fin was simple in how in came about with a little repetitive nature to almost get numbing.
The only thing that I would have changed was maybe the addition of a Luke minifig and possibly the ability to have 4 in the cockpit. But eith this being a smaller set than an UCS, and smaller price point I see why it was done this way.

Tie Fighter
" This is another good build from lego. I don't have alot of the UCS builds but sets like this one makes me want to go out and collect them all...just need to find the room for them!
I found the build itself straight forward and not many challenges. I do like the new way they decided to connect the wings to the main body. It was different and interesting enough to make me want to see it in more sets. I do want to point out that it works for me because this set is for display only but someone buying this large set (as a UCS not sure why you would) to play with, the connection could be risky with swoops and swinging the Fighter around. I also like that the included the stand like most UCS, it just gives that extra pop to the display. Others have mentioned pairing this set with the Darth Vader Fighter, as I also have that as well I find this set slightly bigger and to me at least seens out of balance when the two are placed side by side.

Avengers Assemble!
" Got this set to round out my Avenger collection. I truely like this set and found it a fun, slightly challenging build. Since I am using it for display only I did not bother with the power functions at this time ( but that could change in the future).
The only hard part I really found was connecting the rotors to the main body, it took a little force and angle to get it all to connect so that the rotors would connect properly and turn. I found the way each bag easy to follow and found a proper path to the completed set.

The only con I would have to mention is that even tho I like the internal control centre, not having a way to add the SHIELD soldiers so they stay in place to have them monitoring the computers is a drawback for me but instead I will have them on the deck of the helicarrier hopfully the lack of oxygen when inflight is not too depermental. LoL....
I do like the stand for the minifigs. I have decided to use this to display all the Avengers combining from my other sets. This means Hill and Fury have been swapped out for Iron Man, Thor and Scarlet Witch. Just need to collect Quicksilver and have Hulk to the side since no room for him....lol

VW Van
" This i a nice little build to go along side the mini cooper I already have. It was an average build with no challenges. The only thing that bothered me was that Lego decided not to number the bags like they have done in most of the builds I have done. Was this due to it being part of the Creater Series? Even with having to opeb and sort all bags at once I found it a straight forward build.
I could see the playability high with this set but again I have it for display purposes.
As it was said in other reviews, it would have been nice if this van and the mini cooper would have had the same ratio but then the detail on both may have been comprimised on the cooper or this set may have to be a little larger. "

Hulkbuster
" This set is a another good one. It was an easy build with no challenges whatsoever. Nice addition to the Avengers line. As others have mentioned the only con in my opinion is the size raito, I agree the Hulkbuster should be inline with the Hulk. I also believe, while a nice minifig there only reason I see the Scarlet Witch is to add to brick count thus price point. I am sure there is a scene in the upcoming movie that will make it sense.
