Lots of good things
" The set goes together quickly, in under a half an hour. Younger children may need help with the fish.
The Angler Fish looks really cool, lots of detail to him. And yes, a minifig can fit in his mouth. There are lots of great parts in this set. The new diver with yellow visor. He has a little more detail on him than other Atlantis Divers. A gold chest, not new but still cool. The gold helmet is a great treasure piece. Looks good on a minifig too. A gold trident, if you don't have one, here's another set with one. The Barracuda guardian is a lot better looking in person. A very large head for a minifig. The best new part in this whole set is the 2x2 round corrugated bricks used in the pillar. We can only hope they're on Pick a Brick soon!
At under 10 cents a brick, the price a good one. "

LEGO City: Police Boat(7287)

Fast Boat
" This is a really fun set. It went together rapidly, under a half an hour. The haul is one piece so it's a really easy build and no worries about leaks. The boat looks fast from any angle, it has a great shape to it.
There's lots of extras, Life jackets, scuba gear, handcuffs, jet ski. There are three compartments below deck, one for the crew to stay in, one for the robber (if you catch him) and one for the jet ski with room to spare. My favorite feature is where the driver sits, I can only imagine what a great view that would be.
If your looking for an addition to your Lego City with lots of playability, you wont be disappointed with this set "

A must have!
" We have a grandson that loves anything dealing with police, fire engines, you name it. The building is made up of only 17 pieces so even with small hands it will go together quickly. The lights and siren are great, they really lend to the playability of this set.
Once this gift is open on Christmas day there will be plenty of car chases in the livingroom. "

A great set
" At 70 pieces this set goes together super fast, under 10 minutes. The parts in this set are really cool. You get two all new mummies, with new swords. They each carry a new scarab shield. Mac McLoud has a lot of detail to him. Suspenders, dirty shirt and a dirt smudge on his cheek. He rides a all new revamped motorcycle with a new paint job and a place to not only store is rifle, but dynamite as well. And lets not forget the golden staff that every treasure hunter would love to have.

So Happy with this set
" My mummy battle pack just arrived today. I couldn't be happier with it. The mummys have a new print on their legs. Old headpieces have new print as well. The new headpiece and wings make this set! The golden tomb looks great. It has been a few years since Lego produced these. The scarab shield and new sword are reason enough to buy this set.
The only down side is 3 minfigs for the price...but overall a great set filled with new parts. "

Lots of fun, nice parts.
" I was so excited when they came out with this set. I purchased the max of 5 right away. I now have enough robbers and police to make my own Lego jail.
The set has a number of new pieces, the crowbar is the coolest, an open bag to stash the crowbar and money in, a new style of dog, black flashlight (lightsaber) handle.
The price is a little high but your getting a lot of extras. "

A good looking set
" This set is a nice addition to the creator theme. The set was easy to assemble and went together quickly, under an hour. Younger builders should have no problems assembling this set. This is the first Creator set with a minifig, lets hope Lego continues doing so in the future.
The cabin looks good once completed. The new dark red roof bricks are a nice touch. It's hard to see their true color in the pictures. The cabin is small at only 5 inches wide. But that made it perfect for the train layout in the wooded area.
At under 9 cents a brick, it's a priced below average. "

Great set
" The set was a lot of fun to assemble. It went together at a steady pace and does not have any difficult areas. It took me under two hours to finish.
The set uses the new linear actuators instead of pneumatic cylinder. The motor extends and retracts the actuator. It's fairly strong (yes this set uses the new and improved actuator) and lifts a lot. Your able to fill the entire back with Lego and it dumps it with no problem.
I built the alternative model, after building the first one. It's nearly 20 inches long and works great as a log hauler. It doesn't have as much lifting power, but still enough to dump a load of Lego.
At a per brick price of 10 cents, this set is priced right. "

One of the best.
" There is a reason this set is so popular, it's fun to build and looks great when finished. I went right to the Chopper version of this set. The build took longer than I thought, almost three hours. Younger children are going to need lots of help with this one. Both versions of the set have some interesting building methods that take a little extra effort.
The per brick price is very low, making this set all the better. "
