New LEGO City Stuntz sets build epic stunt shows

There’s a new subtheme coming to LEGO City, with Stuntz offering a range of sets for recreating stunts – but with a ‘z’, presumably because these minifigure stars were big in the 1980s.

LEGO City arena has opened up for Stuntz, a new range of six sets that will allow children to build and then perform stints with motorcycles and cars.

Here’s an excerpt from the press release:

Featuring 6 new products, each set enables kids to play out real-world scenarios and decide what their heroes do, giving them the ultimate opportunity to be in control of their own stories and adventures. New features include launch ramps, flywheel stunt bikes, obstacles, building LEGO flames and more endless challenges, competitions and performances to excite even the biggest daredevil! Those looking for even greater thrills can combine sets from LEGO City Stuntz together for even more show stopping performances and endless possibilities.

The sets will launch on October 1.

‘It’s been a lot of fun to help design and develop LEGO City Stuntz because this new play experience is pure action and all about trying and testing all kinds of ideas – you just need to practice,’ says LEGO Designer Erik Ravn. ‘The more you play with the Stuntz bikes, the more you can master them and learn how to do new stunts and tricks, and you get excited to play and challenge friends too. It certainly brought up some childhood memories as I was crazy about action and fast bikes.”
