Closing Thoughts
While a small set, this set took over 2 hours to build. This was due to the poor coloured instructions and due to one stud holding the bike in place, it breaks into many pieces during the initial stage built. However, once the motorcycle is finished, it is more sturdy, although don’t expect it to last through rough play as many parts are held together with 1 stud. The antenna is also very flimsy.
The minifigs were the greatest letdown..being loose at the torso with accessories means playability options are not available.. Only plus point is that there are a lot of accessories for this small set. Bricks wise I felt the quality is somewhat worse off than their Dream car series as they can be rough and pop out easily. But since this is the first set reviewed from this series, I will see if another set yields the same brick quality.
While much negatives about this set, the only plus factor the price of this set, however, if you are planning to display them only, this does not disappoint.
