Description
About this set
LEGO City Jet vs. Car pairs a sleek supercar with a supersonic jet for a race that nobody could call fair. The jet has swept-back wings, two vertical fins and stabilizers, and sliding a lever fires up its afterburners. The car’s cockpit opens to show a racing seat inside. The whole set comes to 259 pieces.
It’s a good fit for kids 6 and up who love speed in any form. A pilot and a race driver minifigure come in the box, so two kids can each take a side. It’s retiring, so sealed copies will get scarcer from here.
Highlights
- Supersonic jet with swept-back wings and twin fins
- A sliding lever fires up the jet’s afterburners
- Supercar cockpit opens to a racing seat
- Pilot and race driver minifigures
