Collector and Investor Standing
Collectors take a warmer view of this dragster than investors do. Its pull back action, locking wheelie bar and Hot Rod rebuild give Technic fans plenty to enjoy, while the theme's slow growth leaves investors less impressed.

“As a departure from the previous method of combining two distinct sets into one larger model, I appreciate the new 2-in-1 approach for this theme. The increase in part count has led to a more substantial model, and you no longer need to purchase both of the pair.”

BrickFanatics
“This is a really fantastic little set. While it won't offer too much of a challenge, the build experience is still enjoyable. The finished model looks excellent and is bigger than expected. The starting lights are a welcome addition and the play feature not only works but is... More immensely fun to use. Best of all, it all comes at a price that is great value for money and could tempt any fans wanting to dip their toe into the world of LEGO Technic.”
