"I've picked up only three of these character packs, two of them being identical. Nonetheless, I see that this series holds so many fun possibilities! The packs are quite affordable, and portray Bowser's minions very well with their own micro environments. What's really cool is that they double as collectables AND game extensions. Personally, I think these charming character packs should act as the base for future LEGO® blind-bag sets. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product, and I'll definitely buy more of these in the near future!"
"As a railfan, I was very happy to get my hands on three copies of this set ASAP in January 2017. The building process of each of the two locomotives and the wagon was simple and fun. The main build is absolutely stunning for a mini-model, and is my favorite of the three build options. The two alternate builds are also nicely designed. Though it felt satisfying to put together all three cars, I do wish that the alternate two builds better fit the look of the main build. Furthermore, though I like the idea of a modular system, the modules of some of the cars often separate whenever I try decoupling one from another. However, what makes up for this problem, in my opinion, is the versatility of the included pieces. There are many build possibilities for building other locomotives or rolling stock! Overall, I really enjoy playing this set time and time again, as it makes to be a fun toy with lots of play value."

Nice Chase Scene
"I was pleasantly surprised to have been able to receive this LEGO set from my parents. The build came together quickly, easily, and felt very satisfying to put together. Like its two predecessors, the model is built using the beloved SNOT technique, which really helps make the model aesthetically pleasing. The end result is a recognizably Death Star II interior chase-scene model. Though the model is well-built, I do wish that the Advanced TIE Fighter was more centered behind the A-Wing to give the feeling that an intense chase is happening. Furthermore, I think that an X-Wing would have suited the scene more than an A-Wing. Though this set has its flaws, I still think it is a great set to collect and display."
"I was happy to find this LEGO set at my local Toys "R" Us in 2018. Not only did the main build look great, but it was the first polybag in years to feature a 3-in-1 build. Each build came together easily, and were fun to assemble. The pug with his fire hydrant looks very life-like and...well, cute, of course! Though he only has articulation in his hindlegs and his head, I think it was for the best since he can be easily stood-up this way. As for the turkey, I think it's a pretty great build, and I could immediately tell what it was looking at it. With the koala bear, however, it's a bit hard to tell what it is at first. Still, I appreciate its build and sitting-down position. Overall, I think this set is pretty good. It reintroduces the 3-in-1 polybag idea, and I'd be happy to see this concept brought into more polybags in the future--especially vehicles!"
"I really like this set! The raptor pen includes quite a bit of stuff in such a constrained area. There is lighting, a "nest", a water fount, cage barring, and even an animatronic arm that delivers food to Blue. The best feature in this set, in my opinion, is the baby version of Blue! It is really great to be able to obtain the coveted and adorable baby velociraptor in an inexpensive set. In conclusion, I believe that this is one of the coolest polybags of 2018!"

Nice, Little Police Plane
"This set makes for a good start in collecting the 2017 edition LEGO Swamp Police sets. For a polybag, the build is pretty wholesome, having features such as a handcuff storage-clasp, tilting wings, and a spinning propeller. The officer/pilot minifigure is also well-detailed. In conclusion, I find this to be a well-put-together set, and it compliments the LEGO City Swamp Police theme nicely!"

I originally got this set from 2018. Here's a picture from when I first built it!
"Being a fan throwback LEGO sets, I was very happy to get this product. The main build, being baby chicken, was very easy to build, and the same can be said about the alternate builds presented on the front of the polybag. What made this set fun was trying to build as many things as I could think of--whether they were make-believe or real. The only things I would add to the set, for more build possibilities, are two yellow 1x1 bricks. Not only is this set simple, but it's also very affordable. In fact, it would make for a great party favor, a family game night accessory, and perhaps a general icebreaker. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product for its simplicity and encouragement for tinkering and imagination."

This is the first custom build I put together with this set.
"This product is a bit more than what I expected upon purchasing it. The set is very easy and fun to build, and it looks great in the end. It fits in well with the vibrant LEGO City theme, as well as the cozy Winter Village theme. I really like the plane's red skis and exclusively-printed vertical stabilizer, as well as the new birth element. My only complaint about the set is that the built-in mail carriers on the plane are hard to open because of the way the wings are built. Though not necessary, I also think it would be cool if a pair of wheels was also included in the set. That way, the plane could be transformed into a normal-use vehicle, rather than one for snowy conditions alone. Overall, I am very satisfied with this product l, and it is definitely worth the buy in my opinion."
