"A visually lively set with standout exclusive parts and excellent minifigures, held back by a catapult mechanic that critics found nearly impossible to use as intended. The BrickScore of 66.4 captures the tension between good design and broken execution, though 4.57 stars across 172 owners shows real fans still enjoy it."
Pig City Teardown earned a BrickScore of 66.4 and a Mixed Reviews tier, and the two expert reviewers embody that split clearly. JANG (verdict 82) praised the set's multiple clever action triggers, excellent minifigure sculpts, and easy reset mechanism as everything a movie-themed playsets should be. Brickset (verdict 50) countered that the catapult-launched play features are virtually impossible to activate as intended, making the core premise functionally broken for its target audience. Owner ratings sit at a solid 4.57 out of 5 across 172 buyers with 85% recommending it, suggesting kids and fans enjoy the set despite the mechanical frustrations critics identified.
Where they split: JANG and Brickset diverge significantly on the play features. JANG found the action triggers impressive and replay-friendly; Brickset called the catapult mechanic virtually non-functional as intended and rated the set 50, directly beneath JANG's 82. Moderate agreement reflects this genuine split rather than aligned opinion.

Brickset Reviews"This set has all of the stuff that I personally was expecting when I first heard that LEGO was going to be doing Angry Birds movie sets. It's got the colorfulness. It's got the playfulness in the design and it also has the actual play features in the design where you can affect the environment and you can have a lot of fun trying to to hit the different targets and then you can put stuff back together."
"ultimately it's rather disappointing in that regard"
Owners love the interactive gameplay, colorful design, and unique pieces, but many struggle with fragility and structural stability during play.
