The best slice of "The Island" Pie
" This is a very good terrain setting. There are plenty of play features throughout, like the trap on the bushes and the space inside of the cave. The cave feels properly rocky and tropical, which works very well. The stone golems are good builds, but they look better combined than separated. The separating of the terrain is helpful for transportation, and is connected seamlessly, although it sometimes feels like a looser connection than it should be. The minifigure selection is good. It could use another exclusive figure, since there is only one, but 3 of them only appear in more expensive sets and one is an army builder figure. As well as all the figures look great. The value here is pretty good. There are a lot of pieces in the set, although the size of the build feels appropriate for the price. Overall, this is a very good set I recommend to people.

Great minifigure, good build
" This is pretty good mech. There are plenty of poses that can be done, and all the web pieces allow for customization with the minifigure. Speaking of the minifigure, this version of Miles Morales is great. He has dual-molded legs, and some stellar printing. The only issue is that the due to how skinny the legs are, it does change the weight distribution throughout the build, and does allow for less poses. Overall, the minifigure is great, and the build is good, but could be better

Unnecessary build, but it is a good one
" A mech isn't really something Captain America needs, but this is still a good set. There is plenty or range for posing because of how many joints are in it, and the looks are very fitting. But the 2 standout elements to me are the shield print, which looks very good, and the minifigure, which is good and has an exclusive torso print. Overall, it's not something big you'll miss if you pass on it, but it's good if you get it

Very fun, unique set
" A lot of Batman sets do feel samey and repetitive, but this set is pretty good and fun. The design is effective and allows for more playability than one might think. The truck portion is unique and well built, and it's very cool that a jet ski was able to be built and stored underneath it. The trailer is a good size and well detailed, and it's cool for a prison cell and storage for a motorcycle was built in as well. The flyer is admittedly a bit of an odd design, but it's cool that it connects to the trailer and stores an ATV inside. The minifigure selection is pretty good. There are 6 minifigures, and 4 of them are exclusive. The 2 minifigures that aren't exclusive are still good. I think the value good here. The amount of pieces is low for the price, but the amount of playability is very high and makes the set feel worth it. For how good the set is, there are 2 I have with the set. The connection between the trailer and the truck feels looser than it should be, and the 2 builds do often disconnect when transporting. The other issue is that the gap between the ground and the bottom of the trailer is too big, but it's not as bad as other sets with this issue. Overall, it's a very good set, and it is one I recommend

Great Display Car
" I never got any of the Creator Car sets before this one, but I think I chose a good one to start with. The build is very accurate to the real world appearance, and looks great. The color scheme is a stand out element and will attract people to it. The inside is well detailed, although it could use a bit more for the driver section. The ability to customize it is a very cool idea, although personally I think it looks better without most of the additional items. I think the value here is good. There are a lot of small pieces included, but there are also a fair number of large pieces, plus the size and weight feel good for $150. I do with my instructions were a bit better though. I felt some pieces weren't supposed to be there, and some of the part listings in the corners seemed like some printing layers were missing. Luckily they were small issues and I was able to get the car built without any compromises. Overall, this is a very good car build, and I recommend it to people interested in it.

A good set with a big issue
" The oversized bike trend is pretty prominent in Ninjago, and it is a bit repetitive. This one however, is a pretty good one. The design is unique for the setting and it is cool that the sail can detach from the bike and be it's own flyer. The bike even looks good, and arguably better, without the flyer on it. The flyer itself is a simple build, but it is good and the paper sail is cool. The minifigures are pretty good. Nya is a cool exclusive, and while the other figures aren't exclusive, it is the cheapest set they both appear in. The value is is pretty good. It is a good size for the price, and the sail doesn't detract from it. Despite all of that, there is one issue with the set that does hurt it: It has a weak balance. There isn't a kickstand on the set, and it makes it a bit of a challenge to make it stand up, so it falls over easily. Although it is possible to get it to stand, it is annoying when it falls. Overall, It's a good set, but it the balancing issue is rather annoying to deal with

Unique, good dragon
" The dragon is one of the more unique ones we've gotten in a while. The color scheme stands out a lot and is very unique. The build is very solid and has plenty of posability built in. The new mold for the head is good, and it is a cool idea to use two different prints for each side of the face. The side build for Zane is good for the size, and does add value. The minifigures are good, with the two headed guy being the stand out. Although there are plenty of pros there are some issues. The two headed guy doesn't have any exclusive prints, which would normally be something key for a character like that. The dragon also has an issue, and that is that the angle of the body cannot be changed, so it's a bit disappointing there. The value is a bit iffy to me. The amount of pieces is very high for a set at this price, but the overall size isn't too big and feels very comparable to a $30 dragon from 2020. Overall, this is a good, unique dragon, but I wouldn't say it's the best dragon we've gotten. I recommend it more for people that like the looks more than the play value.

A set with good and bad elements
" There are elements of this set that are good, but there are also elements that are bad. Starting with the good, the minifigures are great. Both the 332nd trooper and Ashoka are exclusive to this set, and they look great. The droids are not exclusive, but they make sense to include in this set. The build itself allows for plenty of playability with shooters, the posable turrets, moving it around. Moving to the bad, the build has a lot of inacurracies to the in-universe design. The biggest inaccuracy is how inconsistent the proportions are not just to the in-universe design, but throughout the rest of the build as well, with the cannon on the head is the best example of how inconsistent the proportions are. There are also a couple areas where details are absent, like the back and front. For an iffy thing of the set, I'm not sure about the price. It feels like a $30-$35 set, and at $40, I don't know if it's in the range of reasonability. Overall, the set is ok. The minifigures are good and playability is perfect, but the design of the AAT isn't too good. I would recommend waiting on this set until someone gives it to you or you find a discount.

Stellar minifig pack
" This set is very good. The build isn't based off a prior set, that arguably makes it better. It's well detailed and has plenty of room for imaginative play. But the true highlight of the set is the minifigures. There are 7 in total, and 4 of them are exclusive to this set. All of the exclusive minifigures are very good, especially the Golden Lloyd, and the 3 that aren't exclusive are good. I think the value is great. It has a balanced number of pieces, but the amount of minifigures and accessories are very high for a set like this. The only potential downside is that there isn't too much playability other than imaginative play, but it's not that bad. Overall, I really recommend it.

Very good set, but a bit poorly priced
" This is probably the best At-At we have ever gotten. It makes great use of the design by including not just space for all of the minifigures included and then some, but also has enough space for a complete Speeder Bike and a turret. It also includes the function for Luke very well. The legs are very posable and allow for multiple poses to be made. The design is very accurate and really consistent, although it is a little odd that the front of the face is completely flat. The minifig selection is good, although there could be about 2 more Snowtroopers included in the set. The only real issue is the price, while I can kind of see where it's from, it feels like a set that should be $130 or $140. Overall, I highly recommend this set, but I would also recommend waiting until a discount is available
