“This set does a great job of capturing the magic of the original Sonic games, both in terms of appearance and gameplay. Launching Sonic in the Speed Sphere works extremely well and is a genuinely unique way of capturing both the LEGO and Sonic gaming experiences. The other... More aspects of the set enhance the play experience although offer a slightly random collection of builds, in particular, the DJ Decks, but they do have a couple of cool printed elements.”

“As an entry-level set, 76990 Sonic’s Speed Sphere Challenge does exactly what it should, providing a small sampler of all the various play features and build styles across the rest of the range, while keeping the piece count low and the price as affordable as possible. While... More it may lack the pizzazz of some of the bigger sets, 76990 Sonic’s Speed Sphere Challenge is a perfect distillation of what LEGO Sonic is all about, and is a great place for LEGO Sonic fans to start building a collection.”
