Description

Racing through hazardous terrain

The World Racers line sends drivers around the globe, and each set stands for a stretch of the course with an obstacle. Here it is a swamp full of alligators that the racers have to brave. The set therefore combines vehicle play and scenery in one box. At 354 pieces it is a mid-size model that can be built in an afternoon and gives you a clear sequence of play straight away. Play gets going without long preparation, because obstacle, drivers and opponents all come in the box.

Many part types, strong colours

Black, light grey, red and white shape the look. The number of part types is unusually high: 131 different elements among only 354 pieces point to a lot of variety and plenty of special parts in small quantities. That makes the build interesting, but it also makes replacing missing bricks later more demanding, because rare elements are harder to track down than standard ones. That keeps every building stage short and surprising, so you are never stuck in a long run of identical steps.

Five figures for the race

Five minifigures make the set a good fit for play sessions with several children: everyone can take a driver or an opponent. The mix of racing vehicles and swamp scenery lets you alternate between time trials and adventure stories. Collectors of the line will also find a representative that stands well beside other World Racers race sets. Set it up on the carpet or a table and you can add extra race cars or obstacles to stretch the course as far as you like.

Parts for your own vehicles

The parts list on this page shows every colour and quantity and helps you check a second-hand set for completeness. The “What can I build?” tool tells you which other models your collection could make together with these bricks. The many special parts offer raw material for race cars, monsters or imaginary vehicles. Because the colours and shapes differ so clearly, it is easy to pick out useful pieces for your own projects.
