“It's the biggest and probably the greatest set out of the World Racers theme so far. Excellent Figures! Would have been nice though if there was 1 more figure, like a pitstop member for Team Backyard Blasters though. he Trucks are awesome! I love how you can change the... More engine for Team X-Treme's and Team Backyard Blaster's ball launcher.”

“The biggest set of the wave was 8864 Desert of Destruction. While the Backyard Blasters did get a 4×4 truck with ball shooter, the Xtreme Daredevils were the focus of this set, with a missile-shooting buggy and a giant truck with lots of equipment in the back. There was even... More a missile launcher behind the cab!”
