Knuckles vs. Dr. Eggman Egg Crusher Mech

"The Egg Crusher Mech earns a respectable BrickScore of 76 — it's a creatively designed and fun-to-build Sonic Prime set, but repeated minifigures and a few play-feature fumbles make it hard to recommend at full price."

Reviewers largely agree that the Egg Crusher Mech is a fun, well-built LEGO Sonic set with a satisfying construction experience and solid articulation that captures a convincing lumbering stance. Its standout design — particularly the creative use of car bonnets as armour and the chunky egg-like core — earns genuine praise, and its multiple play features keep it engaging. However, both reviewers flag the same central weakness: paying a premium price for a set where both minifigures are repeats from earlier releases feels like poor value, and several small execution missteps chip away at the overall package.

Where they split: BricksFanz gives a clear "buy" at 80/100 with an upbeat tone, while Brickset lands at 72/100 with a "wait" recommendation — citing the repeat figures and play-feature shortcomings more heavily. The design aesthetics and build experience scores align closely; the split comes down to how much weight each reviewer places on the minifigure situation and price.
