LEGO Avatar Jake & Neytiri First Banshee Flight 75572, Pandora Movie Set with Toy Dragon-Like Figures, Minifigures and Glow in The Dark Elements

Grandson love it. Put together in a couple of hours. Vibrant colors. He wants more!

Kids are obsessed! Took a while to assemble, but this is so cool!

Legos never disappoint in quality and giftable items. Avatar is a favorite around our house and this was a hit. Highly recommend. Great gift for young or old, any occasion.

I used this product as a gift and now it is being displayed as decoration

I’m not a huge avatar fan. I love legos though. This is a great set for display, I’m sure for play too. I’d wait until it’s on sale to grab it. It’s Lego, so no worries about instructions, or piece quality. I have looked at the avatar sets. I think they are pretty good value compared to other themes.

So in this day and age the possibility of sitting down with the kids in your family to do something together that doesn’t involve a screen is hard… unless you have LEGOs. And the older they get the harder to find one they will enjoy and then BOOM we have an Avatar version just in time for the new movie release. This is great and hours of connecting with your pre-teen/teen. A keeper!

Nice Lego set

At first I thought this set was a little overpriced. It seemed more like a $40 set than a $60 set. However, Ive come to feel the value is here. Each of the Banshees feels substantial. And, the terrain build with how it hooks up to both models to show an in-flight pose is very nice. The minifigures are both nice as well, but I still feel the legs are a little odd, like a smidge too long. Neytiris look feels a little off to me in Lego form, but Jake Soolee looks really good. I like that their hair pieces have an attachment point so that they can connect to the animals of Pandora. That was a smart inclusion by Lego. The build took about two hours at a casual pace. It did feel a bit repetitious, but I purposefully built both of the banshees first and saved the terrain for last. (The instructions have you building the terrain in the middle of the two creatures.) I was a little disappointed in how the wings attach to both creatures. The ratcheted connection type they went with is easy to knock off. It definitely seems more geared towards display than play. Ball joints may have looked ugly (since they always seem to be gray), but I feel would have been better for play and short term posing. The terrain build is a vast improvement over what came with the AMP Suit set. It looks like a piece of Pandora and feels well thought out and fully developed. I did find the Banshee jaw pieces a bit troublesome to put on. The fit is quite tight. Id advise adults assisting children with them. Otherwise there wasnt anything too fancy, and kids should enjoy this set as well as adult Avatar or Lego fans. The last thing Ill add is that it seems like Lego can just completely drop the pretense of not making military or violence themed toys. Superheroes and Star Wars was pushing it, but Avatar is a movie about the military wiping out an indigenous people with modern-style military weapons.

NOTE: The additionally pictured tan figurine and dragon (in the review photos) are not included in this set and are only present for comparison purposes. Clutch (5/5): LEGO is the gold standard for clutch, sometimes surpassed, but usually not equaled. This set has great clutch with the exception of the minifigure feet which I found didnt want to stay clutched to their mounts mounting. Instructions + Packaging (5/5): LEGO is again the gold standard for building brick instructions. The parts are divided up into sequentially numbered bags that can be opened as needed per the instruction steps being followed. With this set there were even three separate instruction booklets, one for each mount, and one for the base they can be displayed on. This is nice for sharing the set as multiple parts can be worked on simultaneously. I didnt run across any steps in the instructions that were items I worried would trip up kids. Quality Assurance (4.8/5) : None of the pieces were missing or malformed and some of the smaller pieces even had backups - as Ive come to expect with LEGOs quality measures. The foot clutch of the figurines is the one spot where I dont think LEGOs traditional standards were upheld. Utility (2/5): This for me is a measure of how well the pieces can be combined with pieces from other sets to unlock a broader experience in creative building. This sets color scheme is pretty distinct to the target franchise. There arent many pieces that are needed for more advanced building techniques. All in all, this set isnt one thats easily repurposed to combine with a broad set of other franchises and building techniques. Uniqueness (5/5): This for me is a measure of unique pieces that are difficult to acquire through other sets. The long legged figurines, the wings, the mount heads, the figurine tails and hair that the mount reins (for lack of thinking of a better word) can be attached to... this sets about as unique a LEGO set as I can think of. Creativity (3/5): With the exception of the floating land masses representation and franchise distinct flora and fauna I didnt see many outstanding features offered by this set. From the top down this is an impressively majestic looking set. Viewed from below on a high display shelf and its a bit like seeing the unmanicured animatronics framing not intended for audiences. There are however some very nice details that the creative minds of this set paid attention to. I particularly like that the hair on the figurines can be attached to mounts just like in the movie. I also like that they made the figurines taller than standard LEGO figurines. Overall, for the price I usually see this set being sold at compared to other LEGO brand sets Id say this set is not an impressive bang for your buck unless the intended recipient is a significant fan of the associated franchise. That said, the uniqueness of the figures and the majestic view (from above) of this makes it a good purchase were it on sale.

The box was delivered torn on the side but all pieces were intact and given as a Christmas gift to my grandsons
