The Justice League Anniversary Party

"A BrickScore of 71 and an 82 percent would-recommend rate reflect a Recommended set that delivers almost entirely on the strength of its exclusive minifigure roster: buy it for Hawkgirl, Green Arrow, and the DCAU nostalgia lineup, not for the build."

Reviewers agree the minifigure lineup is the primary reason to buy this set, with Hawkgirl, classic Green Arrow, El Dorado, Wonder Dog, and Superman all exclusive to this release and drawing strong nostalgic appeal for DC Animation Universe fans. The build itself draws little praise, described by Jay's Brick Blog as boring and uneventful, and the set scores only 53 for build experience and 55 for playability. Owner ratings are positive overall (4.77 average across 218 ratings) but split, with LEGO.com respondents giving a notably lower 4.18 average, a value-for-money score of only 3.70, and an 82 percent would-recommend rate that trails peers in this theme.

Where they split: The set's Recommended tier reflects a genuine split between its minifigure strengths and its structural weaknesses. Jay's Brick Blog scored the set at 60 overall with a 35 for build experience and a 40 for playability, while owner enthusiasm for the figures pushes overall ratings to 4.77. The Hawkgirl quality control issue also generated a meaningful minority of strongly negative owner reviews pulling the LEGO.com retailer average down to 4.18.
