Cooler than expected
" Minifigs are very cool. Working dumpster lift very cool. Truck lid opens automatically as lift comes up. Opening rear door for dumping contents. Dump action not so smooth, front studs stick to chasis too much. Front windshield tilts forward to access inside cab. Truck is bigger than expected. Twitch's antennae come off very easy, easy to lose. All the Toy Story 3 sets have painted details, NO stickers! Very cool! :) Fork pieces & giant windshield are new to me also. Minifigs have different faces and "dirty" spots, not same as other sets. The dumpster is too small to fit all characters. I give this set 8/10 for poor dumping, small dumpster, high price.

LEGO Power Miners - Thunder Driller
The rugged Thunder Driller is the most important vehicle on the Power Miners team. With its massive double-geared, auto-rotating planetary drill, it tunnels through solid stone to reach deep underground caverns and hidden rock monster hives. As long as its magma-core engine is fueled up and its huge spiked wheels keep turning, the Thunder Driller's powerful dual-direction drill never stops spinning! Motor shield opens to display gearing system and stored crystals! Includes 2 miners, rock monster and more! Combine with #8958 Granite Grinder to create the massive Aero Shredder! Vehicle measures 8" (20cm) long and has giant spiky wheels!

Drill is cool, but...
" I like the look of this machine a lot, the spinning action of the drill is very neat. Very cool wheels, one of the main reasons I bought this set. The back ladder/cage door piece isn't quite long enough to make complete sense.
The drill bit seems like it should be larger, or multiple bits so the machine could theoretically follow behind it's cutting path. Nothing the imagination can fix though! "

LEGO Pirates: Shipwreck Hideout
Years ago, the pirate king's ship ran aground on a tropical island. Now the wreck has become the pirates' secret hideout! The soldiers are out to capture the pirates and take back the treasure, but they'll have to sneak past the lookout and brave the hideout's hidden traps: a swinging bridge, slashing sword, firing cannon and secret skull-launcher! Tons of pirate role playing action with a cannon that really fires, a bridge that flips over and other hidden traps! Includes 3 pirates, 2 soldiers, pirate skeleton, parrot and more! Hideout is over 15" (38cm) long and 9" (22cm) tall!

Pirate Girl!
" Love the pirate girl, Brick Beards lady? The set looks very cool, and the traps are neat.
I didn't like how the cabin door opened towards the bridge, so I reversed it. Also, if you look at where all of the recognizable remanant ship pieces are, they really don't make sense. The mast is off to the side instead of in the middle of the ships ribs. Also, the cabin in facing the wrong direction isn't it?
Despite these mild dislikes, overall I like the set quite well. "

Nice Set!
" Love the characters and their gear/clothes! The gangsters are very cool, as well as Indiana's 'tux. The cars are very detailed and fun to play with, can easily be used in other themed lego play! (police station, etc.)
Only complaint is the very small trunk on the white car, Short Round can't hide in it! "

Not quite...
" The machine looks very cool and compliments the Farm set very well. A couple frowns on this set though; the harveting blades only turn on carpet, and the long tube pieces that make them up are exactly one stud unit too short -very irritating. Also, the thing is hollow so one can put the yellow hay bricks inside, but there is no distributing mechanism so they either fall out randomly or not at all. I would give this a 2.5 out of 5 rating.
