What reviewers are saying

"I was pleasantly surprised with this set as from initial images, I had somewhat overlooked it."

Brickset Reviews

"This set at first looked a little dull and boring to me, but I don't think the photos on the box do it justice."

"this car is really the focal point of the set and it is really really cool"

JANG's LEGO Reviews

Ecosystem

70808 Super Cycle Chase — While Super Cycle Chase was initially considered more attractive, the Police speeder in 70802 'challenges for the best vehicle of the series'

70809 Lord Business' Evil Lair — Lord Business' Evil Lair was initially considered more attractive than 70802, but reviewer notes the Police speeder set is 'well worth having' and provides 'the surprise package of the LEGO Movie line'

SWAT car (likely from LEGO City) — The Police speeder is described as 'the speedy and agile bad-guy-chasing option' compared to the SWAT car which is 'huge and seemingly unstoppable' (from comment section but reviewer acknowledges the comparison)

Other LEGO Movie sets — This set has only two minifigures whereas the rest of the LEGO Movie sets have at least three; the crocodiles compensate for this

In this set (2)

Bad Cop

Emmet - Lopsided Closed Mouth Smile, with Piece of Resistance

Standout parts (per reviewers)

New firing gun in light bluish grey
Bulky accessory that launches 1x1 round plates up to a metre or further. Reviewer was initially skeptical but came to appreciate it for movie accuracy. Functions as a homing device launcher.

Slightly rubbery black material with white printing. Clings firmly to head and requires popping on/off multiple times to soften.
Dark blue 2x8 plates
Rare pieces not appearing since 2008 (10187 Volkswagen Beetle). Two included in this set.
New gun part
Makes an appearance in the new 2014 Star Wars sets; has a little push down part that causes a 1x1 round plate to pop out the front
2x14 plate in Tan
Appears in a new colour
Crocodile in Dark Green
Appears in a new colour
