The Full Take
Stunt Competition nails the brief: ramps, a scoreboard, two minifigs, and enough moving parts to keep a kid busy for an afternoon. The build is light but purposeful — every piece is doing something, and the finished setup has real play energy. That said, $30 for 73 pieces is rough, and there's no sugarcoating it. This is a set you buy for the experience, not the box count. The stunt theme gives it a kind of scrappy, kinetic charm that heavier City sets sometimes lose. If you catch it on sale, it's a easy yes; at full retail, you're paying a premium for the concept. The fun is real — the value math just isn't.
