REVIEW: 60361 Ultimate Stunt Riders Challenge

[Pchan1983]

Here is my review on 60361 Ultimate Stunt Riders Challenge:

THE GOOD:

• It actually looks good by itself, and rarely from a stuntz set able to be display on its own.
• It's actually a 3 in 1 with each challenge separable.
• Awesome minifigures.
• Full loop in new colour.

THE NOT SO GOOD:

• Price ... I wouldn't have bought this without discount.
• The main stunt is extremely difficult to pull off.

I actually like this set, it's looks pretty cool once finished.  Not a big set but actually quite tall.  And because how the main stunt is designed, it also provide an interesting building experience other stuntz sets lack.  One of the main reason I was drawn to this set is because of the blue colour loop and the minifigures.  As with most Stuntz sets, the minifigures do not disappoint.  Especially the 2 exclusive ones.  The female rider torso and helmet really make me think I can make a Kang minifgure from it.  Also the 3 challenges can be separated on their own which proves to be important because the full stunt is extremely difficult to pull off.  You will have to have enough speed and the bike enters the loop at the right spot to knock the alien from its UFO.  Really hoped I have a more successful rate in pulling this off.  The other thing and the main thing put people off this is the price, at RRP 150 NZD, it hurts the wallet.  Despite my wish to own this set, if I hadn't got my discount I wouldn't have bought it.  Although in the end I did have a great time and like the set in the end, I will only recommend this set to people who show interests in stunt or have parts you want from this.  OK now, I have acquired the blue loop, time to combine the other 2 loops from last year set to make a Triple Look Challenge!
