LOVED (8)

01Best mechanical function of all sets built
02More substantial build than expected for $40
03Great piece count with valuable pieces (technic rods, light bluish gray tiles)
04Ingenious spring-loaded mechanism
05Good value for money
06Whomp character has a big printed face piece that is excellent and a great match for the games
07The character is square, so it translates better than some of the rounded characters that end up looking boxy
08Balancing tasks provide genuine challenge when guiding Mario around a level

02Requires Mario figure and starter set for full functionality

"71364 Whomp's Lava Trouble Expansion Set is one of the lower priced sets in the LEGO Super Mario theme, yet it fails to offer value for money."

Ecosystem

71363 Desert Pokey Expansion Set — Unlike the Desert Pokey set at this price point, the environment in Whomp's Lava Trouble is built as it typically is for most sets in this theme.
