Step right up......
" The Fairground Mixer set is incredible! I hope this is only the beginning for carnival / amusement park rides. The fun never ends with this set! The carnival games are a blast and completely functional. The dunk tank actually dunks when you hit the bullseye, the hammer actually hits the mark, testing your minifigure's strength. And the mixer itself is incredible! The fact that it actually moves like the "Scrambler" type rides you see at State Fairs is so much fun! I especially love the detail on the face of the minifigure who looks like he is going to lose his lunch. Fantastic addition!
One of the best pros of the entire set is that everything actually packs up and fits on the two trucks that are included, like an actual traveling carnival! This is one of the best aspects of this set and makes me love it even more!!!
Only real issue is the amount of stickers. It is a bit nit-picky, but it does get annoying. Also, I had hoped that the minifigure on stilts legs were constructed like President Business' legs are (as in the stilts are actually connected to the minifigure's legs instead of just long bricks that fall off over and over).
Overall it is a great set and well worth it! There are hours of fun to be had with this set and I would highly recommend this set to everyone!

A classic set for a classic movie!
" The Ecto-1 is a perfect set! I have long waited for any kind of Ghostbusters set from LEGO and was not disappointed. Everything on this set is perfect. The detail is unbelievable and right on with the ECTO-1 from the film. The minifigures are fantastic and incredibly detailed. The packs that they wear are awesome! I have nothing but good things to say about this set. It is absolutely worth it. I would highly recommend this set to everyone!

Brilliant!!!
" This set is absolutely amazing! Such an improvement from the original Sandcrawler! Once completed, this massive behemoth makes an excellent centerpiece to any LEGO Star Wars collection. The build was nice and long, which is appreciated and well worth the time spent.
There is a lot of fun to be had with this set from a play standpoint. The interior has a lot of fun cranes and hooks that allow you to lift crates and droids. The opening hatch at the front opens and closes very easily. The minifigures are fantastic, specifically the new and improved C-3PO who now has detail on his legs which I had not personally seen before.
Only major issue is that, as an adult collector with larger hands, it is a little difficult to get into the interior, specifically when building. But, other than that, there are no real complaints. This set is perfect!
I wouldn't necessarily recommend this set for younger or less advanced builders. It is a looong and challenging build, but a lot of fun!
Pros:
- Jawas!
- Uncle Owen
- The fun inside the interior
- The droids
- EVERYTHING!!!

Amazing!!!!
" I purchased this set for my wife who is a huge Simpsons fan. She was not disappointed, and as a LEGO fan, neither was I. This set is incredibly detailed and includes fantastic nods to The Simpsons TV show. The details inside of the rooms are just amazing! This set took a long time to build, but was absolutely well worth it.
Cons:
- Would've preferred Grandpa Simpson over Flanders, or even Santa's Little Helper or Snowball, but as he is coming out with the minifigures, all is well.
- The roof lays sort of strange on the set and falls off easily.

Pros:
- Amazing detail
- The addition of the car is much appreciated
- All of the nods to the show are fantastic (inanimate carbon rod anyone?)
- Basically everything about it!

This is an absolutely amazing set, however I would not recommend this to young or novice builders. I would though recommend it to all teenage and adult collectors. LEGO has done it again!

The Endor Set I had been waiting for!!!
" This set is AMAZING!!! After LEGO released #8038 - The Battle of Endor, this was the set I had been waiting for them to make. It is incredibly detailed, creative and overall FUN! Not to mention, large and a nice long build. The detail in the set is phenomenal! While it is on the expensive side, the size, detail, amount of minigifures and overall quality is well worth it.
Cons:
Small, but sometimes annoying, the tan leaves over the roofs of the huts tend to fall off frequently when you get into the set.

Pros: EVERYTHING!!!
I would recommend this to any and all LEGO collectors, however I would not recommend it to younger or more novice builders. While not extremely challenging, it will be difficult for some younger builders. I LOVE this set!!!

I LOATHE this set
" I hesitated to purchase this set for quite some time. I finally found it on sale and decided to purchase it. This is one of the worst sets I have ever built. The build is short and completely simple. The minifigures, while having fairly detailed heads, are boring and don't have anything interesting going on. Overall I would say that the set itself was dull and lacking of any creativity. I am very disappointed as this did not meet the LEGO standard that I love.
