A fun set
" This set was a lot of fun to build. It took less than an hour to assemble. The boats have lots of detail for how few bricks were used. To many stickers and not enough pre printed bricks. The minifigs have all new faces and bodies, the really look cool.
The boats are a blast to race around the floor, one fires missiles, the other can drop mines. I instantly added more missiles and mines. They stay together well during play. The dock works nice as a pit stop for fuel. The only thing that would have made this set better would have been buoys to race around.
At just over 11 cents a brick the set is priced just about right. "

Build an army
" It is $5.00 higher, and has no additional bricks compared to other packs, but it's still a good set.
You get one more minifig then the average battle pack. Unlike other packs that have that one minifig that you don't have a use for, and you have twenty of them. All of these are usable in whatever you create.
All but two of the faces are different. You get a nice variety of weapons. This and the Dragon Knight set makes building an army fast and painless. "

This set is amazing
" It took less than an hour to build and was a lot of fun watching it come together. It has the detail of the Fallingwater set at half the price. It looks very nice on display, I have it on my file cabinet at my office. People recognize it right away as the White House.
At a per brick price of under 9 cents, this architecture set is priced way below some of the others... "

Great for parts
" I purchased this set because it was on sale. It went together quickly, under an hour and I didn't have any problems. The set is just, okay. You get some new parts, the female minfigs hair, and the hats on the secret orders heads. The boats are not that great. The pier and Indiana Jones are the highlights of this set. The pier looks great and I plan to use it in my train layout over a river. Indy looks good in his suit and will be used elsewhere.
At just under 7 cents a brick this is a great chance to stock up on brown, dark tan, and tan bricks... "

Great to build, play, display
" The set was a lot of fun to build. It has some great building techniques, and I didn't run into any problems. The set is a remake of the 7470 set to honor the retirement of the US Space Shuttle. There are a number of improvements over the old set. Better landing gears, more realistic tail, more detail, and best of all, minifigs can fit in this version.
With the added booster rockets and fuel tank, this set has lots of playability, and a top rated swoosh factor. When your not playing with it, it looks very nice on display.
At a per brick price of just over 8 cents, it's one of the best priced sets for 2010. "

A must for any train layout
" I had a few train/road intersections that I didn't have a creative solution for. This set fixed that problem. The additional bricks on the track don't interfere with the trains operation. I do have one custom engine with a snow plow on the front that snags on the bricks between the rails. It works great with 9V tracks as well. I converted the excavator over to a rail road utility truck. The flip down wheels are a cool feature I will be using elsewhere.
At a per brick price of 14 cents it could have been a little cheaper, but still a good buy. "

Long lasting fun
" My 5 year grandson begged to get this for his birthday. I thought he might be a bit old for it but he loves it. We combined it with the Mater's Yard set. McQueen, Mater and the Sheriff are well built and will last for years.
The sets are now combined with the other grandkids Toy Story 3 Duplo train set. These sets are always being played with. "

A nice addition
" I really like the Space Police line. They have great ships, and even greater minifigs. This set is no exception to the theme. It went together with ease, in under an hour. It really captures the features of a limo, and at over a foot long, has great swoosh factor.
Brick Daddy and Jawson are some of the best looking minifigs in the theme yet. The escape pod is a cool feature, and a trunk big enough to store a minifig is right out of an old gangster movie.
At a per brick price of just over 10 cents, it's a great price. "

A good paced game.
" The game goes together quickly, under ten minutes. It is a lot of fun to play. Grandkids from 5 yrs on up enjoyed it. We just simplified the rules for the younger ones. The older kids changed the layout after every game. After an hour or so they had added extra base plates and more bricks, changing the game completely.
We own five other Lego games, besides Creationary, this is their new favorite. "

Cool concept
" The set went together quick for the number of parts, under an hour. It looks really cool whether in explorer mode, or robot mode. I like the way the arms swing out while in explorer mode. I was surprised by the lack of knee joints as well. I think it make the robot a little more stable but just not as flexible. It also helps in making the explorer more solid of a vehicle.
At a per brick price of just under 11 cents, the sets price is pretty good. "
