No horsing around!
" A fantastic little set. One of those ones that grabs you as soon as you see the ad for it online, or in a magazine. As soon as I saw it, I had to have it. Thankfully, my desire for this set wasn't misplaced. It's a quick, easy build that results in a sweet-looking, nicely detailed finished product.
A great addition to any 'Farm' or 'City' layout, IMO.

Could have been better.
" The best thing about this 'Castle' set is the inclusion of the two Giant Tolls. Other than that, some other rare/hard to find elements are cool but, considering the price of this set, I was less than impressed. Could have been much better. "

 LEGO Pirates - Soldiers' Fort
LEGO Pirates - Soldiers' Fort
They say no pirate has ever escaped from the soldiers' fortress prison, but if he can get the key away from the monkey guard, this one plans to try! Is the pirate captain coming to lend a hand, or is he just after the treasure chest? If the soldiers catch him, he won't get away with either! Crank the winch to hook the treasure chest, fire the pull-action cannon, or play inside the stockade! Includes 2 pirates, 4 soldiers, row boat, fish, monkey and crocodile! Fortress measures 12" (30 cm) long and 7" (17cm) high!\

Great set!
" Easy to build, flexible design, lots of mini-figs. Nothing really 'bad' to say about this set. If you're like me, you'll end up liking it so much, you'll buy more than one. =) "

Worth the purchase.
" A decent 'Pirates' set, for a decent price. It's a nice return to the classic 'Pirate' line and stands up well to the older ships.
A nice surprise was the return of working cannons. Sweet.
It's no "Imperial Flagship" but, it's a great addition to your pirate collection.

Best. Ship. EVER!
" This thing is MASSIVE! Even bigger than I thought it would be. Make sure you have someplace to put it before you start building, or you'll quickly wish that you did.
I'm late on a review for this, so check out the great review by Ghost88 for all of the 'details'. I'm just here to chime in on how absolutely FANTASTIC I think this set is.
If you've been "on the fence" about buying this, because you think it's too expensive, or whatever, forget your doubts...this set is TOTALLY worth the money! Go out and get yourself one. If you don't, you WILL be kicking yourself once this beauty is no longer available!

Green is Gold!
" Okay, I like this set FAR MORE than I thought I would. I can't quite put my finger on just why that is but, really, it doesn't matter. This is a great set!
Pros: Four figures, a Jeep, a stretcher, cool helmets, everything is GREEN...and of course, the coolest aspect of all...LEGO's first EVER 'military' set! Yeah, I know...it's a "licensed product"...so what? It's still their first-ever venture into "army men". That ALONE makes it worth buying!
Cons: Hmm...I dunno...I'm sure I can think of something...just gimme a minute or two...I'll get back to you on that one... "

Missed the mark.
" Okay, this is BY FAR the weaker of the two 'Hoth' battle packs.
Pros: 2 snowtroopers
Cons: Everything else.
I mean, really...an Imperial Officer and AT-AT driver? Both of those figures only appear IN an AT-AT! Kind of a waste to put them in a battle pack, since you'd have to purchase an AT-AT set to have any place to put them. It would have made far more sense to just make this set four snowtroopers and the speeder bike (though I could do without that, too!)
All in all, I feel quite let down by this battle pack and I hope that LEGO will do better in the future. "

Decent 'Battle Pack'
" Nice to see a return to 'battle packs'. They've been missing for too long.
Only two things I'm not too crazy about with this set...the 'speeder' and having a 'pilot' figure.
IMO, 'battle packs' should be just troops. Period. I get all the 'pilot' figures I need when I purchase ship sets. I don't need them in my battle packs. Ditto with the speeder.
Aside from that, it's a good set, though I'd like to see the price point just a wee bit lower.

It's up to the Rebel Alliance troopers to fight back with their missile-firing defense turret and trench with figure-flinging battle action.

Includes 5 minifigures: 2 snow troopers with E-web blaster, 2 Rebel troopers and Han Solo in Hoth winter gear! Features anti-infantry laser battery with opening turret door and flick fire missiles!

A frozen gem!
" This is a fantastic Star Wars set!
First, because it's a 'Hoth' set. I'm a sucker for 'Hoth' sets.
Second, because it comes with the first-ever LEGO Tauntaun. Tres cool!
Added bonus...equal number of rebel and imperial troops.
Buying multiples makes for quick, easy troop-building. About the only drawback to that would be multiple Han Solo and Tauntaun figures...but, you could always just trade with friends for other figures that you want. =)
If you don't have any 'Empire Strikes Back' sets, or ANY of the LEGO Star Wars sets yet, this is a great place to start.

Wow!
" They just keep getting better and better!
Very few complaints about this set. The few questions/complaints that I have, were already addressed in previous reviews so, I'll just keep it simple:
Buy this set.
Even if it's the only LEGO set you ever buy, it'll be worth it. Trust me.
It not only looks good, it's got pretty much everything needed to play well, too.
I hope LEGO keeps putting out sets of this quality, because this AFOL has never been so happy. =) "
