It is a nice concept, but they should have stuck to 2 skintones in each set, with the outfits having 3 different base colours eg dark blue for both police officers, beige or red for the fire fighter and civilian and make the nurse a doctor with a white torso so you can interchange the doctor and ambulance worker.
Right now there really isn’t room to make nice looking figures except for how they have designed it.

Interesting?
I wonder what this set will retail for- I'm guessing £24.99 (€28.99, $28.99US). What does anyone else think?

That was the price mentioned, I think - about 30 eur. WAY too expensive, imo. I mean, we didn't want those big system WHY things the first time around...

That sounds about right, but I agree that it would be a bit expensive for what seems to be included.

There are a couple of interesting parts there, I think (especially in the pirates one?). But not enough to buy the sets, especially with the large (uninteresting) things - for us, I mean. Each their own, right? 

The Pirate one (Set 70979) and the Princess/Fairy one (Set 70981) definitely have some nice parts, but they all seem a bit light on figure accessories. Even the normal Mystery Fi?ures usually have more items per figure.

Right now there really isn’t room to make nice looking figures except for how they have designed it.

That does seem to be the case, especially with the limited arm choices.

You guys have obviously seen this set already -and the other 3 similar ones- which is not surprising as they are due out next month. They must have passed me by until now  . Thank goodness for this thread by Jim!

I agree with the comments you all made too; it could have been a great idea, had there been more scope for making a range of figures, instead of a narrow almost pre-destined range.
