This review was...pretty sparse. Decent overview, though. Personally this is my favorite of the winter wave of the Movie sets, and the only full set I've managed to get. Between Uni-kitty, all the cool and unusual parts and colors, Uni-kitty, the better of the two Emmet variants, Uni-kitty, Executron, Uni-kitty, and....have I mentioned this set has Uni-kitty, this set was the "must buy" set for me. I love it. Lots of cool little spare pieces too.

 

It's not without faults, of course. It's kind of an odd case of a system set with empty-back syndrome, though you usually can't tell. I'm also slightly bothered by the gray gear parts--I really wish they could have come in brighter, more fitting colors, because they clash pretty badly in some angles. These are really very minor complaints, however. It's a great set and one I would recommend to anyone.

 

 

(I do wish that Benny had been included in this set, maybe instead of Executron or Wildstyle, because the fact that he's only available in two sets, in the second wave, the cheapest of which seems like it'll easily be a 100 dollars, and the other over 200, is a bit disappointing. Not really a complaint about this set in particular, but I do think Benny would have fit well here. )

I may have to grab this one. Uni-kitty is just... Well, um, I don't know but I must have a Uni-kitty. Plus I like wyldstyles design and emmit is pretty cool.

While the overall review is decent, if short, I do take issue with the assertion that Emmet is "pretty much the same as the other sets he's featured in". In fact, while most of him is the same, his face in this set is only in one other set—the Piece of Resistance polybag.

This review was a little lackluster. Good photos, but not enough of them. Not only is there no photo of the box, but the catapult does not appear in a single one of the photos except the last one, where it's semi-concealed behind Wyldstyle and Executron.

 

Anyway, Unikitty is the best!
