03Grip point above wheels does not feel entirely natural
04Fuel hose too short to reach Thricycle's tank
05Does not necessarily stand out across the entire theme

What reviewers are saying

"Does this little set in The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part theme offer three times the fun?"

Brick Fanatics

"70823 Emmet's Thricycle looks particularly outlandish, consisting of three black tyres which are arranged vertically beneath the driver."

Ecosystem

70827 Ultrakatty and Warrior Lucy — The DUPLO alien included in 70823 is built in the exact same way as the one in 70827, contributing to uniform feel across Movie 2 sets

70814 Emmet's Construct-o-Mech — Both feature hazard stripes and construction equipment motifs in Emmet's unconventional designs.

70822 Unikitty's Sweetest Friends EVER! — The reviewer thinks this set is even more impressive than the Thricycle.

70841 Benny's Space Squad — The reviewer thinks this set is even more impressive than the Thricycle.

Minifigures & Standout Parts

In this set (1)

Emmet - Smile / Scared, Worn Uniform

Standout parts (per reviewers)

visible Technic elements
Intentionally visible on outside of System set to create aesthetic of cobbled-together construction, which works because it fits the theme where vehicles look like character constructions
plant element in nougat
Part of the Octan pump accessory
Brand new tyre/wheel mould
A new tyre was created for 2019 for this set. The reviewer loves the new tyres and calls them extremely versatile.
Yellow ball cup elements
New in this colour. The reviewer notes they look slightly odd but suggest the vehicle has been hastily constructed.
Dark bluish grey ice cream cone
Only available in three sets, functions as the exhaust.
