Great sub!
" The set was a lot of fun to build. It's nice to see Lego using numbered bags more and more in sets under 500 pieces. It went together in just over two hours.
The sub looks great, and splits open and sits on a base becoming the exploration HQ. The interior is well detailed, and adds to the playability of this set giving you more to do than the sub alone would have. Even though the sub opens, it is sturdy and well designed.
The set uses some of the newer bricks, the 2x4 tile, the 2x2 offset plate, and a 4x4 plate with a hole where the center four studs would be. The last one is used to create the port holes, and I couldn't help think how often I could have used a brick like that. At a per brick price of a little more than 10 cents, this set is a must have. "

A very nice set
" I started out by building the Dual prop plane. It was okay, but not the greatest. I purchased the set to build the jet. To build one plane, and then the other, it took about three hours. The Jet was fun to build and the instructions were straight forward. It's much larger then I thought, and has great swooshability. The engines light up and add nicely to the set. The landing gears drop down and support the Jet with ease.
It has a good per brick price of just over 11 cents. "

Cool set
" Purchased this for two of the grandsons. They had them assembled in under ten minutes. A small fight broke out over the fact that only one had missiles. I added them to the other dirt bike and all was good.
They spent the entire afternoon using the living room to race around in. The dirt bikes and the minifigs have nice detail to them. The winners cup is a nice bonus.
The price is a little steep for just to minifigs and two bikes. "

A good place to start.
" If your looking to add to a city layout, or just build an airport, this is a good set to go with.
The airplane, like others in this theme are great. Roof pieces come off for easy access. The plane itself has great swoosh value. If your looking to add this to a layout, be prepared to add additional parts. The airport itself has some nice features and will help to give you some ideas on a much larger building.
The set took less than an hour to assemble, and was well laid out. At just over 14 cents a brick, it could have been a little cheaper. "

Cool to collect
" These just became available locally. Here are the highlights.
Cowboy.
The hat is the same as in the Indiana Jones sets, only a different color. He has a great cowboy face. You get a pair of six shooters.

Robot.
Has a very cool helmet, and two different types of hands. Would have been better if it had been more serious attempt at a robot.

Caveman.
Lots of detail on this one. Even has a small bone holding his clothes on. Nice hair that will be seen again and again on other figs. He comes with a small version of the troll club.

I think he has the best face of the new minifigs. He comes with the newer style of helmet, and a never before seen laser gun.

Playability plus+++
" This set has a ton of stuff to do! You can build it so that it's an enclosed fortress or open and wide like a wall. At nearly a foot high, this is a big set.
There's new style of decorated walls and windows. Towers to shoot arrows, and catapult rocks from. A working drawbridge, and a new style of gate that you'll really enjoy how it opens and closes. There's treasure to defend. And a whole lot more.
With 8 minfigs, this set works great for that first time castle builder, or just adding to an existing army. "

Good looking!!!!
" This set is one of that really stands out in a collection. It went together in about an hour. The building techniques are straight forward, nothing tricky. The set uses the older style vehicle doors, which I like. The detail of the truck is nice, and the crates really add to the set.
I have it in the ally behind the Grand Emporium on my train layout. Everyone spots it right away.
At a per brick price of over 12 cents it's priced about right. "

Lots of playability
" We purchased all four of these, the 7967, 7968, 7970, and the 7971. They all perform about the same with the 7968 being the slowest. On tile they will easily travel 15 feet or more. On carpet, maybe 10 feet if your lucky. Some parts do tend to fly off but that seemed to be a high point with the grand kids. Every time it happened they thought it was great. The pump has held up well and after a week of play there are still no problems. At an average of over 17 cents a brick, they could have been a little cheaper.

Nice watch
" My wife bought this for me. She knew I liked the scene in Star Wars when Luke and Han are running around the death star in stormtrooper uniforms. Not sure if this watch is depicting that scene or not, but close enough.
The watch has held up fine over the last two months. The crystal has a scratch, but that's my fault. The links stay together and it keeps great time. It really catches peoples eyes. "

Great gift.
" My father in law loves sharks. He's not a big Lego fan, he thinks their just for kids. For his birthday I purchased this key chain. He thinks it's just the greatest. I haven't told him it's Lego yet. but I will!
