“The shrine structure is a good size for the price point and the play features add to that value. You’ll see that there seems to be something missing from a set named “The Master Emerald Shrine.” To acquire the Master Emerald itself, you’ll need to locate 76996 Knuckles'... More Guardian Mech released earlier this year. However, that set also came with Knuckles, reducing the value for money for fans who want to buy both sets to complete the shrine.”

“Knuckles gets a new, determined expression and detailed design, though his gloves limit accessory options. Amy Rose returns in her standard form, and the Piko Piko Hammer remains true to its classic design. The Eggrobo enemy is well-executed but has minor flaws with its feet and head. Despite the set's fun details and decent price, it lacks the Master Emerald and additional new characters like Chao.”
