LEGO Movie Rex's Rex-treme Offroader! 70826

It's easy to throw out merchandise to link in with a film release or with other endorsement tie-ins and get it wrong; but this isn't one of those times. I only have a couple of Lego Movie 2 sets (this and Benny's Space Squad) so far but they've been exceptional and I'll be buying more as a result. The temptation to create vehicles with large moulded pieces has been avoided and the Offroader element was an involved and enjoyable build which feels sturdy and robust enough for children (of all ages) to play with, as well as looking good enough to earn a place on collectors display shelves. The raptor is another solid piece, continuing the tradition of the dinosaurs introduced in the Jurassic World sets and are equally as playable. The mini figures are, well - great, but that could be my affection for Emmett and Rex coming through, and with both having reversible heads the playability again goes up as storytelling becomes easier. For once there seem to be sufficient spare "projectiles" to ensure that the kids spend more time playing and less time hunting under the sofa for missing bullets (although I will be under there later today on recovery duty I'm sure) All in all an enjoyable set to build for me, and great set for my two sons to play with. Now, which Lego Movie 2 Set should I buy next?

Rex's Rextreme Offroader is a three in one kit! It comes with two minifigures: Rex Dangervest and Emmet. It also comes with one plantimal and a raptor. The first extension of this kit is the one advertised on the box. This two-seater offroader has two stud cannons. It also has a rotating function on the bottom. The second extension is a raptor-rider thing with buildable claws. The third extension is the raptor quad thing. It is also swell. When the new LEGO movie is released, I will look for this offroader! Well done LEGO!!!

This was an awesome set full of building techniques I never thought of to use in my own custom builds. It was well worth the wait for it to come out the set is an A the minifigs are an A+ but the side build of the weird plant thing I feel in my opinion wasn't really necessary but the blue raptor I love because of the small turret build on top of it and because blue is my favorite color. All around I think LEGO did a phenomenal job with this set and it's out of this world (pun absolutely intended).

I saw the Lego Movie 2 and decided to pick up something nice from it afterwards. I wasn't disappointed with this. The build uses a lot of strange techniques to use pieces for the alternate builds but it ends up working out really well for it! The options of 3 seats are great too, you could even make the raptor fit in the back in various ways. The whole thing is solid and its really fun to drive it around. The minifigure selection is appropriate for the scene, Rex and Emmet. Along with a mini-dino raptor, which makes a great bonus. Sure the Plantimal is small and not much against the main set, but I enjoy it a lot anyways. It didn't have much screentime in the movie, but if you want a nice-sized set from the wave, I recommend this.

Great for child to have to think to put together

Came when expected my son loved it!

Awesome set - my daughter loves that it can be built in so many different ways.

More fun than I thought. I bought this Sunday at my Lego Store Grand opening event. I wanted to get the free plantimal with Rex and his big gun, and some other free grand opening items. So I picked this as one of my $50 Lego Movie 2 purchases of my total $100 purchase (earn free Lego store grand opening set and Emmet tshirt grand opening). So I had not planned on getting this. I am glad I did. It is a lot of fun. The plantimal cracks me up. It is different than the one in the polybag (which had more orange pieces than this one). This one is a tiny bit shorter. I love the inclusion of the raptor. Yes, you had me at raptor. I also like that this is a different outfit than the CMF TLM2 mini figure of Rex. YAY! It was a nice surprise how much I liked the set. I probably will never do the other two minor builds. I like this vehicle too much. LOL.

so i mostly got this for the dino but then turns out the main build and robo arm builds are really cool robo arm i expect but still. the weird motorized dino was underwhelming it was taking away from the dino in my opinion but other than that the main build was a pleasent suprise
