A good dump truck
" The truck went together quickly, under a half an hour. Younger children will need help with a few areas. Once together it is a sturdy model that should stand up to play well.
I used this on a road construction area of a train layout. I replaced the boulders with black 1x2 plates (asphalt) in the back and it looks great. Lots of detail and very real looking. The per brick price is good at just under 11 cents each. "

Nice detail
" The set went together fast! Under 15 minutes. Younger children should have no problems assembling this set. The detail is great, from the roof racks, and mirrors on the truck, to the tandem axle trailer.
I was surprised at how well this set looked in my farm area of my train layout. At a per brick price of 13 cents, it could have been a little cheaper. "

Good case
" The case is fairly sturdy. The door seems like it will hold up to repeated use. Each compartment has a 6x4 plate in it to mount your minifig to. Due to the handle this case is not stackable with others. It would have been nice if held more minifigs, but not bad for the price.

Lots of wheels
" This set was originally only sold to schools and education centers. There are only two type of wheels and axle pairs. The idea was to give each child their own set of identical wheels to build with.
If your looking to add onto sets like the Racer themed micro scale sets, or have a train layout that you need some random vehicles, this is a great set.
The price is fairly good for a specialty set like this at just a little over 11 cents per piece. "

Lots of fun
" The ship took a few hours to assemble. Like larger sets, bags are labeled for quick building. Once together the set looks great and stands up to play very well.
There is a ton of stuff to do, walking the plank, shooting canons, escaping with treasure, the list just goes on and on. I rarely think of a sea going craft having a swoosh factor, but this one does. The mermaid on the front of the ship is an example of all the great detail Lego put into this set.
I child in the lower recommended age group of six, will need help putting this set together. At a per brick price of almost 17 cents, it's pricey "

A nice set
" This set went together in just over an hour. It was a fun set to put together and I didn't have any problems. The set isn't as detailed as the dragons form the troll sets, but is very poseable. Once set in a position, it stays there fairly well.
The wings are made of cloth spread between bricks. A feature that was not very attractive. The set had more of a technic feel to it then creator.
The per brick price is just over 8 cents, making the set a good buy. "

Lots of playability
" My 8 year old nephew received this set for his birthday. Him and his brothers got a full day of play and then some out of this set. With a tow truck, police car and a helicopter, there is just a ton of things to do. With the four race cars as well, you really have a great set.
My nephew uses a small box to store the cars and parts in when not in use. Then just folds the street up and it stores easily.
For the novice Lego buyer, this set is in Micro scale. Minifigs do not fit into any of these vehicles. This makes a good starter set, and opens up future purchases in this theme.
The per brick price is a pleasant 9.25 cents, making it an easy purchase. "

Cool set
" This set has been out for a while and some how I missed it. You get two minifigs, a real firing cannon, which used to be super rare. It also comes with a few nice extras.
The price is a little high.. "

Just okay...
" I was hoping for more when I heard this set was coming out. The set went together in about an hour. There's some neat building methods and it holds up well to play. I thought for sure the wings would pop off, but they stay on fairly good. The minifigs are a pretty cool. At just under 15 cents a brick the price is high.
Just one flaw....No sail!

Not good
" Purchased this for a grandchild that loves Ben 10. He liked it at first and was excited to get it. After a day of play it now just sits on a shelf. He says it doesn't work well with his other Lego collection.
The price was high as well.
Lego fan + Ben 10 fan does not equal Lego Ben 10 fan.
