Description
Racing off the beaten track
World Racers moved the action away from smooth circuits and into harsh environments around the globe. As its name makes clear, set 8864 takes the contest into the desert, where dust, obstacles and rough ground matter as much as top speed. It is built for play first and foremost, with vehicles made to be raced against each other rather than admired on a shelf. Children who like action-packed sets with plenty to do will find it a natural fit.
An exceptionally varied inventory
The standout figure is the number of unique parts: 301 across just 966 pieces. Roughly one piece in three is a different element, which is unusually high. The build therefore stays varied throughout, with little repetition and plenty of detail. For builders who design their own vehicles, the set is also a rich library of shapes, including many that rarely turn up together in smaller boxes, and an excellent source of inspiration.
Eight minifigures
Eight figures give you enough characters for a proper race, with some left over for pit crews or spectators. The complete list of figures appears on this page. If you are picking up a used copy, compare it carefully, because racing figures and their helmets and accessories are among the first pieces to disappear after years of play. Having the full list to hand makes it far easier to spot any gaps.
Neutral colours, broad reuse
Black, dark bluish grey, light bluish grey and white lead the colour data. That neutral mix fits almost any future project, from cars and trucks to buildings and spacecraft. The parts list on this page shows every element by colour and quantity, and What can I build? compares the inventory of 8864 with other sets to reveal which ones you could rebuild fully or partly. With so much variety in the parts, the matches can come from many different themes.
