This is a really great add on the the starter pack. Lots of fun to be had for many. I'm 30 and absolutely loved playing with this with the kids. Easy to set up and lots to do. It kept us amused for ages.

Recommendation: meh by Adam White

Lava plays a perilous role in almost all Mario adventures and that's translated well with this set. The bridge platform looks stable enough, but without any studs to secure LEGO Mario, you have to take it easy when moving across. Just like you would in the game, timing it right before making the leap. Toppling the Whomp reveals an Action Brick and the option to take it out, with a stomp or two. Even twisting the shell around, kind of apes using them as projectiles. It's little things like this which show a fun connection to the many games which has inspired the sets. Although there isn't much substance with buildable elements, what is there provides a useful section to incorporate into a larger course and to be honest, it's worth it just for the awesome Whomp character.

Recommendation: meh by Richard

At 19,99 USD/EUR – $AU29.99/$NZ34.99, it is one of the cheapest expansion sets available on Launch day. On the whole, this is one of my favourite smaller sets: the Whomp is high scoring, and the P block provides another interesting addition to game play.

Recommendation: yes by jaredhinton

I do recommend the Whomp set however do I think it's worth the $80 spend to get the starter set as well? No I don't, it's far too expensive to spend that kind of money on to specifically get the Whomp. It's also not interesting enough to be worth buying without the Starter set. If you have the Starter set already this is a nice little add-on and will improve upon the Starter set ten-fold.

Recommendation: meh by Graham

71364 Whomp's Lava Trouble Expansion Set is one of the lower priced sets in the LEGO Super Mario theme, yet it fails to offer value for money. A simple mechanism that is included in other sets makes up the majority of this one, with little else of note other than the Thwomp – but for many collectors, that will be just enough to put this set on the wish list.
