Knuckles Mech Battle Reviews
Brick Fanatics
“LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog fans looking to pick up an affordable set with some limited play value may well be tempted to add 76996 Knuckles’ Guardian Mech to their shopping baskets. However, the mech’s lack of poseability or additional features make it a less-than-ideal debut... More for the model’s title character.”
The Brothers Brick
“The custom minifigures in the set are great, and despite my criticisms of the mech design, as a display set the mech is pretty decent. At $35 USD for 276 pieces, it is a bit harder to swallow. The other Sonic sets, like many themes, do have a wide range of prices and sizes,... More but most have a better part per price ratio. There are no particularly unique or hard-to-find parts in the mech itself, aside from the minifigures.”
