Trash Chomper Reviews
Is this LEGO set a good investment?
“As a The LEGO Movie set, 70805 Trash Chomper is a good investment and has been slightly outperforming a typical The LEGO Movie set with an average annual growth hovering around 8%. While not the best year over year return for this theme, it still is not a bad investment for collectors.”

The Brick Fan
“Overall, the Trash Chomper (70805) is a very nice looking set for both versions of the build and was fun to create. The set itself has some very good value with 389 pieces and coming in at $29.99. There are a lot of useful pieces that you can use for other vehicle builds.... More The minifigures are generic enough that you can easily incorporate them into your MOCs.”
FBTB
“Value-wise, the set is absolutely top-notch, and the alt-build is a great truck. The minifigs are generic in a city environment, but the garbage stains do somewhat limit using them elsewhere (unless your space deck hands are very messy eaters). The robot isn't quite as good... More as the one in Creative Ambush and the regular build is somewhat plain and boring.”
