Fun to Build.
" This is a great set to build. The animals are so much fun to build. It is well structured. The biggest flaw is the repetition when you reach Bag Set 5. Overall, I loved it. "

One of the best sets I ever purchased
" This set is definitely amazing and fun to build. It does have a little repetition but not as much as most sets I've built. It displays amazingly and looks great among my collection. The price was great for the amount of pieces despite the Disney licensing.
Overall, great set. "

Fun to build. A++++
" This was definitely my favourite of the Creator Expert Sets. It is extremely detailed, it has almost no repetition, and it is just the right price.
I especially loved the little characters that were used as statues. It added that realistic touch to it.
This was so much fun to build. "

Fun to build. And to play with. A++++
" Everything about this set is great. My only concerns about the design is the quad blasters and the satellite. The blaster could have been longer and the shield should have been a little more round shaped.
My biggest concern is the price. For 180$, you could usually get a lot more pieces.
Overall, I love it. "

Best Technic Ever
" This was definitely the best Lego Technic I have ever built.
It has a lot of pieces including some I have never seen before. The rods that attached to the excavator where unique. They were kinda hard to attach. All the functions of the final product are amazing.
Overall, it was awesome. "

Fun to build, and to play with
" This was a very fun lego to build, it had its challenges that go with a 14+ lego. The biggest flaw is the instructions booklet colouring. The greys and the black are the hardest to distinguish.
I love how detailed it is. Even includes speed meters, gear shifter and hand brake.
Loved it. "

Fun to build, and to play with
" This is definitely the best playable Star Wars lego set. With so many recreatable scenes from the movies. The final product is well built, sturdy and is easy to move around.
The biggest flaw is the instructions. The colors are hard to distinguish, especially between dark grey and black.
But, overall, I really enjoyed building it. "

" This set was a lot of fun to build. The biggest flaw is the amount of repetition. Basically, you're building the same pieces over and over again. The details are amazing, especially the trees. Props to the designer. It is great to displayand, whenever your bored, turn the wheel while listening to carnival music.
Overall, I loved it. "

Fun to build, and to play with
" This Lego was a lot of fun to build. But the biggest flaw is that 80% of it is mirrored. Meaning that you're basically building the same thing twice. But my Instagram and Twitter followers seem like they like it, I know I do.
All I need is another one of this one to add to my current one and my Vader's Tie Fighter Advanced and I can recreate the scene from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.
It's a little expensive for the number of pieces. But, overall, I really enjoyed building it. "

Fun to build, and to play with
" Although it is not a very big lego, I mean that it has a lot of pieces. It is still very well designed. The fact that the motor pieces where included made it very worth the money. Although I'm a little too old to play with airplanes, my little cousin enjoyed it a lot. All the different ways you can control the plane with just one switch is awesome.
I loved it. "
