Jay's Lightning Jet EVO Reviews
Brick Fanatics
“Jay’s first elemental vehicle was a jet that was closely linked to his thunderous element and so it could be that the rumored 71784 Jay’s Thunder Jet EVO may take inspiration from 70668 Jay’s Storm Fighter.”
Brickset
“Having been a long time fan of the various Jay's Jets over the years (71790, 70668, 70614 and 9442) I was curious how they were going to pull it of at the low price point. They did not fail to deliver here, with a fairly weighty jet that has a decent footprint and is very... More swooshable. The detail is nice with some printed tiles adorning the wings and some interesting builds for the intakes.”
