A calm, satisfying build that looks good on a shelf afterwards.

Good
    Worth knowing

                                  A good add-on for someone who already has, or is getting, the Doctor Doom bust and wants it kept free of dust.

                                  Good

                                      Worth it for a big display build like the Donkey Kong Arcade, which otherwise gathers dust on a shelf.

                                      Good

                                              Who shouldn't buy it: Don't buy it if they have only a handful of minifigures, or you don't want to screw it together: it takes about half an hour. No minifigures are included.

                                                          How we choose

                                                          We unbox and build what we can at home, hand it to someone the age it's sold for, and check prices and stock at UK shops through the day. Every pick is labelled: Tested at home when we've had it in our hands (bought, or sent free by the brand, and the review says which), Researched when we haven't.
