"The Jungle Mobile Lab scores a BrickScore of 68.4 because its strong design and parts selection are undercut by a price point that both expert reviewers flagged as too high, though owners rate it a 4.70 out of 5 and an 86% would-recommend rate suggests families find more value in it than critics did."
The LEGO City Jungle Mobile Lab (60160) lands in Mixed Reviews territory with a BrickScore of 68.4, driven primarily by a value-for-money consensus of just 44.8 despite strong design and aesthetics scores. Both the Brickset and JANG reviewers praised the new 2017 parts and the visual execution while agreeing the $59.99 price was too high for the content provided. Owner sentiment is more forgiving, with a 4.70 average across 230 ratings and an 86% would-recommend rate, suggesting families are happier with it than dedicated reviewers were.
Where they split: Both expert reviewers were positive about the design but critical on price. Owners are measurably happier with the value. The crocodile slide feature was the main point of design disagreement: JANG would have removed it entirely in favor of expanding the display scene, while Brickset called it merely "a bit excessive."

"Honestly, I have been waiting for the new Jungle theme ever since I first saw the various toy fair images. Obviously, there's adventure. There's an abundance of new color, in Flame Yellowish Orange."

"I very much like the vast majority of what they've done with this set I think that one thing that could have been improved is the action feature here I think that actually could have been just left out"
