"A BrickScore of 74.5 and a 100% owner recommendation rate tell the same story: the Melting Room is a quietly overachieving budget set where a single exclusive minifigure and a surprisingly feature-packed build justify every penny of its original $12.99 asking price."
Reviewers consistently praise the Melting Room as an outstanding value entry point for The LEGO Movie theme, delivering three highly desirable minifigures, a unique scene recreation, and an impressive variety of parts at a budget price. The exclusive hooded Wyldstyle variant is the standout draw, and the set's multiple moving mechanisms surprised critics given its small size. Owner sentiment reinforces this verdict: 44 buyers rated it 4.54 out of 5, with 100% recommending it, closely matching the expert consensus.

"retailing for $20, don't let the set's small size deceive you – it packs a ton of value for a small set."

"This is the 2nd small set in the LEGO Movie series, although it has about 20 more pieces than 70800."

"this is a worthy small set for fans of the movie if you're not particularly a fan of the movie for some reason then I don't know if this is all that much worth it"

Owners overwhelmingly praise the Melting Room as an exceptional value at its price point, led by its highly detailed minifigure trio of Emmet, Wyldstyle, and Robo-SWAT.
