Lazy effort by Lego. Set saved by two good figures
" Lets start with the positives -
1. Aquaman figure and Ocean Master are great figures and probably justify buying this set.
2. Decent Price for three figures
Unfortunately here are my negatives :
1. Batman figure is just boring
2. Batsub ? How many more vehicles are left for Batman - seems to be constant churn of vehicles. Lego need to come up with new character vehicles.

Overall an OK set, saved by two figures and a palatable price but please lego start thinking beyond Batman having another vehicle.

A great set but not an amazing one
" I always think that if Lego cannot get a set right based on their own movie then there is a problem. Thankfully this is not the case and it's a good likeness.
That said I am not sure why Lego bothered with a car for Robin - it's pointless and adds nothing to the set and there is not that much the batwing does except moves its wings up and down.
Pros : good size and accurate model.
Cons : very heavy, very wide so beware if you like to display it, 3 figures for £100 set is a little tight of Lego. Could have had a couple more.
Overall a good effort from Lego which just misses the wow factor

The figures sell this set....
" To be honest I was apprehensive about this set given it is not cheap. However it's the fact that all hulk figures are in one set that will mean people buy this.
All of us have bought figures with cars from Lego whether it's Star Wars, Marvel or City themed - therefore arguably there is no wow factor here. Yes it's fun to play with but otherwise limited in what it does.
However the figures are good and I imagine in years to come will be sought after purely because Hulk and she-hulk are together in one set.
I have already seen these figures going for a good amount (ave£15 each for Hulk) on selling websites.
Overall it's a good set and recommended purely to get the four figures. "

More a display piece than a play experience….
" I am one of the older generation of Lego builders so have grown fussy with age as to what I expect from Lego.
This is a very small set which has limited play experience. My observations are :
1. The Luggabeast has limited movement both in its head and legs. Much has been written about the bright colours used by Lego and I agree, it simply looks wrong. Such a bright blue does not really provide the worn and rough look you see in the film. I appreciate for such a small set you are not going to get ample movements but the Luggabeast comes across as a little boring to play with and more something to show on display with your other Lego sets.
2. The 4 figures (if you include BB8) are OK - Unkar Plutt and Teedo are nice additions albeit the mould on Plutt means the head does not move.
3. As with many Star Wars sets the price is very high for what you get. There is no doubt the set enhances the Force Awakens sets that came out last year but given its size and limited playing capability I think kids will quickly move on to something else.

Hopefully Lego remember us older ones and bring out a large BB8 to build or as so many rumours suggest, a UCS Death Star or an updated cloud city.

Arguably the best Lego set ever
" I am an adult Lego fan as well as being a huge Batman fan. The Tumbler is a fantastic set - the build and details are superb, it is a great size and looks great on display and to play with.
Only thing we need now from lego is the Bat Bike in similar detail.
I highly recommend this set - it is simply fantastic.
One huge plus for me was I ordered this mid September having been told by Lego estimated shipping date was early November. I received it within 10 days ! You may not be so lucky but get your order in now !
