REVIEW: 60359 Dunk Stunt Ramp Challenge

[Pchan1983]

Here is my reivew on 2023 LEGO City Stuntz 60359 Dunk Stunt Ramp Challenge:

 

 

THE GOOD:

• Great new Raptor Bike body!
• Exclusive minifig
• Useful parts in unique colours.

THE NOT SO GOOD:

• So difficult to pull off the challenge, I wonder if it's impossible ... fun to see it fail the first few tries but sometimes you do want to succeed.
• Lack of appeal if you are not into the bike nor the parts.

First, whoever named this set should get some recognition on how hard to say the set name!  As with all stuntz sets, it comes with excellent minifigure and I really like the new raptor bike and it's exactly the reason I bought this.  The challenge though, while it comes with some cool parts (I particularly love the purple orange flame) the stunt itself is so difficult to pull off.  It's fun at the start to see different variations of failed attempts but I think it is important to get least have a 20% success rate, so far I have 0% success rate.  Sadly while I liked the bike it's difficult for me to recommend this set to everyone.  It's not that expensive but very hard to find a valid reason to buy this set unless you are into the parts given the stunt design while it's interesting it is just too difficult to pull off.  On a side note, for some reason in NZ this is only available from lego.com or the certified store, not sure if it will widely available down here.  So the chance of picking this set with 50~60% off is very unlikely.
