Battle Pack Plus
" This is a great little set, you get four minifigs and a horse. lots of new parts, hair, and head pieces, claws for the hands, a harness to hold the swords in, shoulder armor, plus plants and bricks in all new colors. This is a great start to the new Prince of Persia line. The price is good, so it will be easy to build an army..

Just okay,
" If your into the architectural type sets, this one will fit into your other sets. It took 4 nights to assemble. It has a ton of small parts. Once together it looks good, but is out of scale with every other set Lego makes.
If you want a challenge, than get this set. If you want to add to your train or city layout, look somewhere else. "

An excellent addition
" This set fits in perfect with the others. It took me two full evenings of building to assemble it. Like the fire station, it has some of the best building methods to date. Lego really went all out on this one. It looks great both inside and out. The escalator is my favorite feature.
This set has a ton of new parts. The awnings, 1X3 smooth plates, 2x2 offset plates, drinking glasses, hair pieces, and more.
It's one of those sets that when your done you look at it and go Wow! Not to mention a fantastic per brick price of just under 7 cents, what more could you ask for. "

5 Bricks all the way.
" The police truck is one of those sets that you will not ever take apart. It was a lot of fun to assemble, and it went together in just over an hour. The truck and trailer has lots of detail and features. There's plenty of extras, cones, tools, radios, handcuffs, the works.
The building is just kind of an extra, I would suggest getting the police headquarters to go with it. I think this set is a little advanced for someone in the lower recommended age group of 5 yrs. This set has a per brick price of 8.5 cents. That is a great price. At that price it would be perfect for parts too. "

Nice for train layouts
" I purchased this set to go with other farm themed sets I have on my train layout. It went together easy and took about an hour. They have 5 years listed as the lower limit for building this set. I think someone of that age is going to need help.
The playability is okay, but not great. For me it just didn't push and move around good. As far as being part of my layout it looks great. It has good detail and looks really nice sitting on the edge of the field.
The per brick price is at 12.5 cents so it's not a bad price. "

A fun set
" The TIE Fighter was much smaller than I thought it was going to be. That aside, it was fun to put together. It took less than an hour. Used common building methods found in other Star Wars sets. Once completed, it has great swoosh factor. I dare anyone to fly this around a room and not make the sound Vader's TIE Fighter does in the movie.
At nearly 12 cents a brick the price isn't bad. "

Great for adults & teens
" This is our fifth Lego game we've bought. It's geared more for older kids and adults. The younger kids that tried to play it got bored fast. Everyone else that played it thought it was fun. It's got that Battleship feel to it as games go. Check out one of the others if your looking for fast paced. If your into thinking games, this one is for you.

Not the best
" This is Lego game number 4 for our household.
Reasons to but this game.
Cool Microfigs.

Otherwise the game isn't nearly as fun as the others, and it wasn't adaptable for younger players. This game was taken apart for the pieces a few days after we first played it. The others are still going strong on game nights.

Parts, parts, and more parts.
" This set is like a battle pack only with a ton of extras. You get four great minifigs, weapons, some great basic parts, and a rare tan barrel. I purchased four right off the shelf.

Double swoosh factor
" It had been awhile since I built a Lego plane. These were really fun to put together. There's lots of detail on both planes. They're well built, and stay together during play. This set does have double swoosh factor. It is nearly impossible to pick up these two planes and not run around the room in an instant dog fight. whether you're a movie buff, or just love panes, this set is for you.
At a per brick price of 13 cents, it's a little over priced, but still worth it. "
