Recommendation: yes 5 / 5 from 5 reviews

I collect Lego sets and this is definitely one of my favorite sets. Hidden side is definitely the best Lego original series so far.

Recommendation: meh 4.6 / 5 from 13 reviews

I loved building this set. It took me about fifty minutes to build the set. It came with three mini figs: Jack, skeleton El Fuego and Mary Breaksom, plus a ghost dog. There is some really fantastic detail in parts of the airplane, specifically the propeller and front end. The app is cool in concept, but was somewhat disappointing. My version of Android didn't let me even install the Hidden Side specific app because it was unavailable. I had to borrow my wife's iPhone. Pretty cool, but maybe I'm too old. I didn't quite get it and maybe the ghosts and things I didn't see until it was already over.All that is beside the point and I think that feature is gravy because the set is solid on it's own, and I appreciate Lego trying to take things to the next level. I think kids will get more out of the app than I did, but I did take off the star because it wasn't compatible with my version of Android, when the product description says it works on Android.

Recommendation: yes by CapnRex101

Despite its comparatively modest size, 70429 El Fuego's Stunt Plane is among my favourite Hidden Side sets. This aeroplane looks absolutely fantastic, featuring copious authentic details and unusual aesthetic features that vary from other LEGO aircraft. The colour combination is very successful and I am delighted with the rotund fuselage, alongside the detailed radial engine structure.

Recommendation: meh by Sébastien

70429 El Fuego's Stunt Plane is a decent model that with a few minor modifications could also happily live in a City layout. The Hidden Side theme continues to deliver strong sets, and while this might not be the most imaginative of the bunch, it's still a great model.
