"The Crocodile Car earns a BrickScore of 66.4 — a decent but flawed set whose imaginative three-way transformation and exclusive Cooper minifigure are undercut by an overpriced tag that both reviewers agree makes waiting for a sale the smart move."
Both reviewers agree that the Crocodile Car is a fun, well-conceived set with a clever three-way transformation gimmick, but its price point is a significant sticking point. Hoth Bricks found it an enjoyable, affordable option for kids in the range, while Brick Fanatics called the pricing "nonsensical" and recommended waiting for a sale. The build experience and playability are consistently praised, but value for money and minifigure selection relative to price drag down the overall picture.
Where they split: The two reviewers split notably on minifigure quality and overall value. Hoth Bricks rated the minifigures positively, praising their finish and paint detail, while Brick Fanatics felt there weren't enough figures for the price and specifically criticized Blue Logan's missing torso printing. Hoth Bricks called the set "affordable for the price range," whereas Brick Fanatics deemed it significantly overpriced and pointed to 71454 Mrs. Castillo's Turtle Van (a similar animal-vehicle hybrid at ~€46.99) as a better-value alternative.

"It's a good idea, it's a bit expensive, but the product will sooner or later end up being destocked everywhere and you just have to be patient if you want to collect the different pretty figurines. At €62.99 for 494 pieces, positioned as moderately priced for the range and configuration options provided."
"At £57.99 / $59.99 / €62.99, the set is significantly overpriced. The reviewer compares it unfavourably to 71457 Pegasus Flying Horse (482 pieces) which has similar piece count at likely lower price. The price is 'nonsensical' and 'too expensive compared to other sets.' Recommendation is to wait for a sale rather than purchase at full price."
