Ta-metru_defender Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) Just so we're clear, the best part of this review is Business running over Vitruvius.

Bfahome Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 This is definitely one of the sets I'll be picking up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotcom Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Woah. I did not expect this one to be only 15 bucks. I mean, I was already going to get it, but dang that is just really cheap. Totally going to pick it up asap. Thanks for the review! It was very thorough and provided quite a lot of detail. Very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aanchir Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Great review. I like the minifigure designs in the new sets. On one hand, they're mostly the same main characters who were available in the 2014 sets, which is great for people who didn't manage to get those sets or have been waiting for a cheaper way to get them. On the other hand, the new expressions (and pose, in Unikitty's case) help them feel new enough that they don't just feel like a complete repeat of the existing figs, and further enhance the amazing Brickfilm potential the theme has offered from the beginning (seriously, this makes fourteen different faces for Emmet alone, counting the robot face and the Western face with brown mustache). The set design is great too, even though the contents have already been released through other channels. I'm glad Emmet's car has a radio tile now!

Toa Smoke Monster Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 The minifigs alone are enough reason to get this set. But the Double-Decker Couch is also cool IMO, and that makes it even more worth it! Thanks for the review! Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

fishers64 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Knew I had to nab this one as soon as I saw it - the review only did a better job of convincing me (seriously, it has a car in it - sold). Thanks xccj. Quote Hero Factory RPG | Bionicle Mafia XXIX: Storyline & Theories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChocolateFrogs Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) $15! I'm definitely aiming to get this! Nice review, too! -CF Edited December 27, 2014 by ChocolateFrogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toaraga Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Hmm, I didn't even know they were making this into a set, and $15 might not be a bad price point. The best part is there will be no legs dangling in front of you. ©1984-2014 Toaraga EAM 2 Quote COT Official Topics | Trade References | COT RPG Guidelines | Truth | A Naming Day Carol | Stars Review The trouble with the status quo is that it keeps changing."College dropout, Shego: they let me in; I let myself out." -Dr. Drakken No great feat was ever accomplished by those who gave into fear or caved under pressure.

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Great review, enjoyed the pictures!I am super surprised this wasn't released until now. It seemed like a fairly big part of the movie when it was released (pretty much) last year! -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed like a fairly big part of the movie when it was released (pretty much) last year! -NotSIt was released this year. Emmet's car was available at a building event at Toys R Us (not identical to this one, but close), and an identical Double-Decker Couch was part of the Sea Cow set. This set just basically repackages both models with new versions of several main characters. Not that I mind! Those new Unikitties will be mine, and I'm glad we finally have a smiling face for Pres. Biz (since even before his redemption, he was far from a perpetual frowner). The exclusive Ghost Vitruvius is just the icing on the cake.

Takuta-Nui Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 The sheer pop-culture reference of the double-decker couch may be one of this set's biggest selling points. I've noticed that reference coming up in random places now, which is great. I wouldn't personally own this set, but it's something to consider for the birthdays this year for the young ones in the family. Thanks for bringing this one to our attention, xccj!

AESIR Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I got this set yesterday and I am so happy that I choose to. The best is getting all those AWSOME!! minifigs in a small set. :-) If there would have been an opportunity to make a standing unikitty too it would've been perfect. I just don't understand why they included Emmts car instead of some more minifigs. Batman and Lucy are missing somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman is in the Batman and Super Angry Kitty set, and Wyldstyle is in the Bad Cop's Car set. Between the three small sets being released this year, there are new versions of every main character except MetalBeard. 2 Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
