BrickList: Best and worst sets of each theme in 2010

Best and worst sets of each theme in 2010

The sets that I think are the best of the 2010 releases for the theme and the set that is the worst 2010 set for the theme.

Created by Firox 5000. Last updated on 26 Oct 2010.

1. 8077: Atlantis Exploration HQ

The winner for the best Atlantis set for me, The fact it has lots of acceseries included inside ,it has the ability to transform from sub to command centre and the playability is very good especially when conbined with sea creature sets.

2. 8073: Manta Warrior

The weakest Atlantis set of 2010. This set is tiny,puny and weak and even for £3 barely contains any thing. Just 13 small pieces which build a manta figure and some random piece of rock. Eventhough it is a good way to get the manta fig the atlantis mini set for the diver is much better.

3. 8411: ChromaStone

Best Ben 10 set, Well not a succesful or good theme but this figure is certainly the best detailed and if you are wanting to buy one of these figures this one may be advised.

4. 8410: Swampfire

The worst set of one of the worst themes lego has ever produced. This set lacks uniqueness,playability and display use and in unless you are a 7 year old kid this set is an epic fail.

7. 7946: King's Castle

The best designed kingdom set 2010. This set shows what a lego castle should exacly look and be like. This set highly resembles many old model castle from the 1980's and so on and has plenty of detail and interior and action a castle and kingdom should have.

8. 7947: Prison Tower Rescue

Well the only set in the kingdom range that does not really reach the outstanding rating. It's not an awful set but it is certainly the lowest rater with it being over priced ,small and a few design flaws including the catapult fire landing directly on the tower flag burning it down over the intruders coming.

9. 3221: LEGO City Truck

A definate winner for the best 2010 city set and maybe even the best city set so far. The sets design on the inside and outside is practically perfect and unlike many in the 2010 range the set's value for money is pretty good.

10. 7207: Fire Boat

Remaking the fire collection the third time in five was not a good idea especially when lego city is need of many more public services which includes a new hospital. The set is slightly bigger than the 2007 but is very small and limited in what can happen with it. It is too repetitive of older models and has no sense of uniqueness.

15. 5891: Apple Tree House

20. 4736: Freeing Dobby

Well by a finger nail this one is the worst potter set. This may relate to the fact the older version had a bit more character, it is more expensive the last one and the fact the piller is a bit poorly designed but it is not an epic fail set though.

The best and smallest set of a disapointingly average theme.

This one wins the high ground for Toy story due to it's battle pack size and playability.
