Lego Maniacs' Guide
“This set is awesome! It's a small jet ski that's different slightly than race jet skis. It includes a black aerodynamic piece similar to the large piece with race sets. In race jet skis there is a one piece bottom. Instead, with this set there's a 4x6 yellow plate and sloped... More piece in front to make up for the one-piecer. I like this better.”
