"The Getaway Glider sits in Mixed Reviews territory (BrickScore 64.7) for a real reason: it is a fantastic parts and minifig pack at a great price, but its core play feature breaks down under active use, and it cannot be displayed without a workaround."
The Getaway Glider (70800) produces genuinely split expert opinions, earning a Mixed Reviews tier despite enthusiastic owner scores. Brickset called it one of the best sets at its price point, while JANG flagged a critical playability flaw (Emmet attaches via a single stud and falls off constantly during active play) and Rebrickable characterized it as extremely delicate overall. Owner ratings average 4.48 from 29 buyers, with LEGO.com owners at 4.86, suggesting buyers who sought the set were generally satisfied, but the expert criticisms around durability and display limitations are genuine.
Where they split: The gap between Brickset (verdict 90, praised as one of the best at its price point) and Rebrickable (verdict 45, called extremely delicate) is the defining reviewer split. Brickset focused on parts quality, minifig excellence, and display potential; JANG and Rebrickable focused on active playability, where the single-stud Emmet attachment and fragile weathervane are genuine functional failures. Owner ratings sit in the middle at 4.48 out of 5, consistent with a mixed verdict.

Owners consider the Getaway Glider a strong value at its low price point, praised mainly for its three well-detailed minifigures and fun LEGO Movie characters, though the glider itself has stability issues and some small parts fall off easily.
