Decent set with a major flaw
on February 11, 2019
Posted by: amrasnenharma
The set overall it pretty good. A fun design with lots of play options. Sandly the back of the launch tower was not finished off like the other 3 sides.
The main issue is Mercy's face. The actual product looks much different from what is advertised. (Something thankfully very uncommon with LEGO) Mercy's face looks pale, colorless, and almost gray. LEGO has successfully printed faces on black heads in the past, so I thought it may have been a bad version. I contacted LEGO and they sent out a replacement. The replacement is slightly worse.
I have included a photo showing Mercy's face taken from LEGO's website, then My Replacement, then the Original one from the set, and finally a Stormtrooper head. As you can see Mercy's head is sickly and ugly compared to what is advertised, and compared to LEGO's past successes of printing on black heads.
I hope LEGO is able to fix this and sends out replacements. Mercy is a major selling point of this set.
If you can accept these shortcomings then it is a good set, however if you are looking for a Mercy fig, prepare to be disappointed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

generally great set
on January 4, 2019
Posted by: TahuKenobi850
Initially I was skeptical of the build. it has little to no in game significance and cant' be interacted with by players. however, the many play features, such as the hidden missiles, the splitting function, and the space at the back for minifigures to sit, more than make up for this. Ultimately, the build exceeds it's in game reputation.
Reaper is mostly pretty good. his printing, new fabric piece, and shotgun builds, are fairly accurate and well executed. What really seals the deal is the inclusion of the Banshee/Dementor leg piece to represent his Wraith form, adding to playability options for him, 5/5
Winston is a great addition to the bigfig roster. The detailing on his torso and arms, as well as tesla cannon and jump pack, really show that lego was committed to making Winston's figure a good one. 5/5
Pharah is a fantastic minifgure. her printing is great and her new helmet mold is amazing. the use of the nexo knights armor works surprisingly well here, and the wings add a lot of playability and a layer of finish to her design. A hair piece for pharah would have been nice, along with a seond set of wings, but both of those are negligable, 5/5
I can tell that a lot of effort went into making Mercy, along with a few tough decisions. Her arms were never going to be perfect, and the orange works well enough, but white might have been better. the wings aren't ideal but they work well enough. her new hair mold and torso and leg printing are amazing. Unfortunately, her face, as with most attempts by Lego to print light flesh onto a dark head mold, is a disaster. Mercy tries, but fails, to be a strong minifigure, 3/5
Despite Mercy falling short, Watchpoint Gibraltar is still a remarkable set that I would reccomend to Overwatch fans, fans of Mercy, Pharah, Winston, and Reaper, and fans of the lego space theme.
I would recommend this to a friend!

great lego overwatch set, if you like overwatch sets this is a great one, I love this set so much however, there are some issues, mercy's face has a weird print issue over the black head. I wish reaper was taken out and they added Ana and Sombra to make this set even better.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Why the Rocket from Watchpoint: Gibraltar?
on January 26, 2019
Posted by: NellyFlo
Maybe there are people who are willing to pay alot of money for the overwatch figures but who in the world wants to have the Rocket from Watchpoint: Gibraltar?
The ONLY cool thing about the Rocket is, that is starts at the END in the BACKGROUND, but it is still absolutely unimportant. Overwatch Places are totally not suitable as lego packs. Maybe build Omnix, other Robots like Orisa or Wrecking ball but not parts of the locations especially if they're way to expensive to build.
Ps: I would have given it 2/5 bricks if Lego has't called 2/5 bricks "fair"

Great set with a couple of issues
on February 4, 2019
Posted by: FDGlennon
This is a great set that is a fun build but it does have a couple of issues.
The face of Mercy is poorly manufactured resulting in a grey face instead of the white one shown on the packaging. Lego really dropped the ball in quality control.
The cargo bay for Winston is too small to comfortably fit the figure and is poorly detailed so looks a bit bland and not an area anyone would travel in. More space and detailing would have been nice.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Cool
on February 25, 2019

This review is from the builder my 13 yr old Lego and overwatch fan.
First I have this amazing rocket set and the payload set plus both d va meke and rhindhardt. It took an hour to build it all. Overall I'm happy with these sets and the amount of mini figures is good.
There is lots of playability and looks impressiv, but the weapons sizing is a bit off I've had to adapt reaper so that he can stand while holding his guns and Mercy my favourite character , Lego what went wrong? She looks nothing like the box art or booklet. She's cool just the face is disappointing.
Actually while I'm here the box art is really good.
I'd recommend this set not only if your a Lego or overwatch fan as it's good value and a bonus if your a fan of both.

Lots of good stuff... one bad minifigure face
on February 20, 2019
Posted by: Jalenax
LEGO products have entertained my family and me for many years, yet Overwatch has only recently found its way into our hearts and the Mercy character is, by far, my most often played hero. So as soon as these sets were available, we purchased all of them (including the Blizzard Exclusive)! Upon building this set, my daughter noticed that the Mercy minifigure looked "funny." Indeed, the printing for Mercy is very pale and looks nothing like her box-art counterpart or her on-screen presence. I trust that LEGO will correct this mistake and look forward to replacing this face with one that reflects the true appearance of our beloved Mercy. Sadly, until then, I can't fully recommend this set.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very nostalgic set, one small issue
on February 19, 2019
Posted by: Bricker96
As a huge Overwatch and Lego fan this was a very fun set for me to build. I worked on it for a few days and was very happy with the result. The only flaw as the other comments have stated is the paint on Mercys' face. It is very greyish and faded almost like the printer was running out of ink. It was a little upsetting as Mercy is my favorite character but I still highly recommend.
