“The hideout may be pretty simple, but the main attraction of this set is clearly the three different vehicles. They're each unique but thanks to the use of color fit pretty nicely together. Well thought out. The average comes out just under 7.5/10 (7.4 actually), which I... More think is accurate. For nostalgia, I might even rate it an 8/10. It's really fun to build, offers plenty of variety and playing opportunities and is just an overall cool looking set.”

“Gator Landing is one of those classic Town sets that fit into the "Adventure" category rather that Town. The set has a lot to offer including a hideout with bridge, three vehicles (small seaplane, air/swamp boat, and 4WD), a gator, three very nice classic figs and a number... More of accessories.”
