"Dorado Showdown is a Mixed Reviews set that delivers for dedicated Overwatch fans through its outstanding minifigure printing and faithful map references, but falls short as a general LEGO build due to its shallow, facade-only construction. Owner enthusiasm (4.7/5, 94% recommend) runs well ahead of expert consensus (BrickScore 66.4)."
75972 Dorado Showdown earns a BrickScore of 66.4 and sits squarely in Mixed Reviews territory, a verdict driven primarily by the build's shallow construction and limited environmental depth rather than any flaw with the minifigures. Expert reviewers at Jay's Brick Blog and JANG rate it 60/100 and recommend waiting or passing for non-fans, while Brickset (72) and Solid Brix (75) are more positive. The owner gap is significant: 4.7 out of 5 across 628 ratings with 94% recommending it on LEGO.com, versus critics who consistently call the building facade thin and the play experience incomplete. This is a set whose appeal is almost entirely dependent on Overwatch fandom.
Where they split: The owner-critic split is the defining feature of this set. Owners rate it 4.7 out of 5 with 94% recommending it, driven by Overwatch fandom and enthusiasm for the minifigures. Expert reviewers consistently focus on the shallow building construction and incomplete feeling, with Jay's Brick Blog and JANG both recommending waiting rather than buying at full price. The Brickset reviewer lands in the middle, recommending it while noting D.Va and Reinhardt is the superior set in the Overwatch line.

"I would recommend 75972 Dorado Showdown but 75973 D.Va & Reinhardt remains the highlight of the Overwatch series."

"Great selection of OG Overwatch heroes"

"This very retrostyled but very futuristic hover truck. It's kind of based on a I want to say a late 1940s, very early 1950s designed for a heavy duty truck."

Overwatch fans consider this an excellent value starter set with authentic map atmosphere and collectible minifigures, though McCree's non-unique arm printing and the modest scale of the building stand out as recurring disappointments.
