What reviewers are saying

"75576 Skimwing Adventure seems attractive in particular, capturing the grace of these creatures onscreen."

Brickset Reviews

"75576 Skimwing Adventure isn't the most complicated of sets to put together, but then the suggested age range would already tell most fans what to expect in terms of the build level."

Brick Fanatics

Ecosystem

75578 Metkayina Reef Home — Both share hair elements and Tonowari minifigure exists in both sets, but this version is unique lacking the necklace. The bigger set offers exclusive hair textures.

75575 Ilu Discovery — While the Skimwing is considerably larger, it has less movement and doesn't quite look as sleek as the Ilu model. The side builds in 75576 are also not as interesting. The cheaper Ilu Discovery offers the same experience and display piece for around £10 / $10 / €10 less, making it probably better value. Casual fans would be better suited looking to the cheaper 75575 Ilu Discovery for their Avatar fix.
