"To my great surprise, I've come away thinking that this set is a bit of a must-buy."

Ecosystem

70808 Super Cycle Chase 81 — 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 80 — 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 at the same USD 30 price point — This set stands out among the five sets in its price range and is definitely worth considering ahead of alternatives.

Minifigures & Standout Parts

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.
New rubbery helmet (Bad Cop)
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 stud-shooting gun element
Makes its only appearance in The LEGO Movie line; works reliably and has excellent shooting capability; can be used with the new weapon reveal feature on the car
Bad Cop/Good Cop helmet (new mold)
Unique new helmet design exclusive to the Bad Cop minifigure
Trans-yellow boat tiles
Used on the flying car's cockpit windows for visual appeal
