Early read · 0 reviews
A shark launch ramp and a stunt motorcycle — City at its most unashamedly goofy, but $35 for 122 pieces is a hard sell when the fun runs out fast.
Is the price fair?CA stunt gimmick dressed up as a $35 set — the price is doing a lot of heavy lifting for not a lot of bricks.
Will you love it?CFun for about an afternoon, then it's fighting for shelf space it hasn't earned.
Holds its value?C-Retired or not, there's no collector demand waiting on the other side of this one.

The Full Take
The Shark Attack Stunt Challenge is City doing what City does best: leaning into a ridiculous premise and daring you not to smile. Three minifigs, a motorcycle, and a literal shark jump make for a solid ten minutes of kitchen-floor chaos. The problem is the build wraps up before the enthusiasm does, and the set doesn't leave much behind on a shelf to justify its footprint. At $35, you're paying a premium for the stunt gimmick, and that gimmick has a shelf life measured in afternoons. The C+ overall feels right — it's not broken, it's just not much.
