Stretching that little o-ring to its absolute limit.

Interesting vehicle to be added to the Rebel Alliance.

That's pretty rebellious, to be operating a motor vehicle without a rider.

It's almost certainly just a coincidence, but the colour and name are making me think of the car with the Confederate flag on it from that show.

How do you know it's not a Transformer? The rules of the road are different on Cybertron.

Wolverine in RMotD and a bike I could see Wolverine driving as RSotD! I love it when we get synergy

Nice bike and also a nice secondary model, the third one is a bit weird though....

That said, I can't help but feel that €20 does feel like a bit much even by today's standards, let alone in 2012.

I like it. It's a little bit chunky, a little bit clunky, and also, totez adorbz.

I never get tired of these tires.

Not one that stuck in my mind well. Idk, it looks a bit weird. Like a hunchback. The rear mudguard thing looks like a wasp waist, the fuel tank looks oversized, it's weird that it has two lights in the front and having the handlebars used to attach the front wheel forks mean the handles sit very low, barely stick out and are very close to the center.

I usually love it or at least respect it when sets deviate from realism. Not everything has to make complete sense and be accurate to something. But in this case it feels a bit... off. The handlebars feel like corner cutting for instance. In this case it looks like it might actually hamper play.

I like the suspension though. The front wheel mudguard is nice and although the wheels would make a fatbike look slim, they are quite practical to keep it standing up straight at least.

The lternate models seem very nice as well.

Oh no, it was Lego that inspired the fatbike........if Lego would have used proper wheels we might never have seen those stupid things!

How so? It was only fractionally shy of the "magic" ten cents per piece ratio.

Which I don't consider "magic" at all, especially not for an unlicensed set with no minifigs or special pieces.

It kinda reminds me of 42132 from just 3 years ago. Technic, slightly smaller (and even weirder wheels) and a bit less pieces, but also only half the price (even after 10 years of inflation).
