REVIEW: 76994 Sonic's Green Hill Zone Loop Challenge

[Pchan1983]

Here is my review on LEGO Sonic The Hedgehog 76994 Sonic's Green Hill Zone Loop Challenge:

THE GOOD:

• It's fun and the challenge is a lot easier to accomplished compared to the LEGO city Stuntz challenges.
• The full course does capture the vibe of the game well.
• The launcher is actually quite powerful.
• Excellent minifigures.
• Interesting printed elements and many Sonic in universe animals.

THE NOT SO GOOD:

• No exclusive minifigures considering this is the most expensive set.
• Price tag is high without discount.

Managed to buy this set with 50% off and I really wanted the new colour for the loop and a Dr.Eggman minifig. And wow this was pretty fun. If you have been experienced the difficulties with LEGO City stuntz challenges, don't worry, this one has a higher success rate just because the launch works extremely well.  The only worry I have if the case holding sonic will crack at some point.  Obviously, this set is designed for play so there aren't much complex or detailed builds in this.  The overall outlook is great and does capture the vibe of the game. As added bonus, Dr.Eggman's robot and some additional details are added around the course to give this an enjoyable building experience as well.  And as usual, there are no stickers in this set.  The minifigures are great but my only complain is none of these minifigures are exclusive to this set despite this is the biggest and most expensive set from the theme.  Of course there are pros and cons with this, first you don't have to buy this set if you just trying to complete the minifigures, however the other sets are cheaper than this one but you may end up spending more money even though this set RRP is quite high without discount as other smallers sets are not cheap as well.  This set overall is really fun but it's definitely not for anyone.  If you love Sonic or has particular parts you want in this, I'll definitely recommend this if you manage to find a good deal.  Otherwise, this set may not be for you. (I guess that's why it's on clearance)
