I think that each one is fantastic - they are creative and nicely detailed. Minifigs: 8/10 - 4 minifigs are included. Pieces: 8/10 - There is a huge variety of pieces in this set! Though some may not like what is included, personally I find the variety quite refreshing. Price: 6/10 - The $65 CAD ($50 USD) does not surprise me, however I would have been much happier paying $50 CAD ($40 USD) I guess what I am trying to get at is that in relation to other sets Squidman's Pitstop gives you just as much, if not more to play around with. Though Soldier's Fort is structurally larger, it doesn't feel really any bigger as a set once you factor in all the vehicles and whatnot with the Pitstop set (hope that made sense, but if it did not.don't worry about it). I was initially a bit disappointed with the price of the set (I only found out for the first time at checkout exactly how much it cost) though I quickly made myself feel a bit better by comparing it to Soldier's Fort - same price however Squidy's hideout contained more pieces. It may not be physically very big, but all the contents including the accessories, vehicles, and minifigures make it seem like to have a fair amount to mess around with. I want to start by saying that I think Squidman's Pitstop is a nifty little set. If anyone has any questions or picture requests be sure to let me know! I gave the cop the handcuffs of course and then the pistol to Squidman ![]() I was a bit disappointed to learn a few days ago from looking at pics from Brickworld that these pieces are not actually slices of pizza but instead spare wings that could be used on either Squidman or Snake's ship. The bullet holes and graffiti on the window The sign can rotate and whatnot so that it can be positioned nicely however you want.īehind this sign is where the safe containing the gold is hidden and at the back are hidden 4 flick fire missiles. (4 weapons are included and can be seen here) The gray lever is rotated to make the tool wall change to the weapon rack. All that remains is to position the accessories and minifigs The contents of the 4th and final bag of parts This is later hidden by the "Universe-L Spare Parts" sign The red piece is on a hinge and is used to launch the yellow barrels (similar to the method used in the Echo Base set to send the Rebel troops flying)Īt the back left corner is a safe containing 3 gold bars. Inside the toolbox is a stick of dynamite In fact I think it looks fairly ugly as I'm not a fan of the spikesĬontents of bag #3 (this builds the lower part of the pitstop and takes us to the end of the first instruction booklet) Twin's - The weakest of the vehicles IMO. ![]() Snake's - Another fun little ship, I think if the engine pieces were chrome it would look better though Squidman's - I quite like the ship, looks neat and has great swooshability The contents of the second bag (this includes the pieces to build the 3 "baddie" vehicles) So everyone knows - there are no controls in the cockpit + there is a large gap at the front of the ship meaning the whole vehicle is not airtight (these things do not bother me but may be negatives for others). The police ship is actually pretty nice looking when you see it in person. The completed ship (including all the stickers) More shots of the police ship being built It may not be easily seen in this picture, however the brick on the left with the blue pin sticking out of it is a bit yellowed compared to the brick next to it. To try and make a long story short - I ended up buying Squidman's Pitstop, and so here is what I hope you will find to be a useful reviewĬontents of box include 4 numbered bags of parts, each with another smaller bag contained inside.Īlso in the box are 2 instruction books, the sticker sheet (in this case most likely a DSS for many), and a red rubber hose.Ĭontents of bag #1 (This includes all the parts to build the minifigures and the police ship)įor the most part I found the quality of the pieces in the set to be quite good (colour and grip), however I still noticed that some of the white pieces were slightly yellow. ![]() After seeing that most of the summer LEGO sets were put up on yesterday, I decided to pop into my local TRU to see if they had anything new since last weekend. I've been putting off posting forever and figured it was about time to make a contribution to this wonderful community.
