Recommendation: meh 4.7 / 5 from 51 reviews

My son ordered these toys with money that he earned from dog-sitting a neighbor's dog. He took a lonnnnnng time choosing the exact Lego sets that he wanted to purchase because he knew how hard he had worked for the money and didn't want to waste it! I asked him what he thought of them and he said, "I like everything about it. I like that it has a girl police officer, too. My favorite part is the robbers because I make them steal stuff and the police chase them. The robbers get away, though, so I can keep chasing and playing for a long time. I wish that it had a bigger island because I can't really chase the bad guys on the island since it's small. That part was disappointing but other than that I really liked it."

This set is great. My son really liked the quad bike and the hidden cache flip top for the loot. I liked the fact that the set had two vehicles. I would like to see a Lego rat added to the set because where there's a wharf there's a rat.

Recommendation: meh 3.9 / 5 by Vaderfan2187

Overall, this set impresses. The four minifigures are nice and the builds look decent – appreciate three reasonable builds in a cheap set. The playability is also high and the price is definitely good.
