El Toro Loco deserves better than this — 247 pieces at $19.99 is charging collector money for a build that wraps up in under an hour and leaves almost nothing behind.
The parts alone are worth about 64% of the street price — the basis for this D price read.
OverpricedYou're paying well above the parts' value — $18 of parts for a $28 price.
Monster Jam is a license with real nostalgia and shelf presence potential, and El Toro Loco is one of the most recognizable trucks in the franchise. But LEGO® didn't give it the parts budget to deliver. The build is thin — done fast, forgotten faster — and the finished model lacks the presence to justify the price tag in absolute terms. A D overall is about right: the license does some heavy lifting, but the set itself can't carry the weight. If you're drawn to the theme, the bigger Monster Jam sets are the ones actually worth your attention. This one feels like a placeholder.
