Yeah, it's only been in two Stuntz sets and three Monkie Kid sets: https://brickset.com/sets/containing-design-80681 It occurs to me that its only uses have been in themes with misspellings in their names.

Kinda loved STUNTZ, though the prices on the main sets were STEEP. I get it, the pull-back bikes and large ramp pieces certainly weren't cheap, but woe be unto the parents' whose child CRAVED stunt-bike madness.

I wager EVERYONE picked up at least ONE of the individual bike sets, though. The pullback flywheels worked GREAT and the bikes were very fast.

Ah, the Ernie bike. But there was also a minifig with the Bionicle double-B logo in 60296.

Hah came here just to post this as well! Such a great piece!

It's kind of surprising this did happen so late too begin with.

Don't tell 71007-5, she'll find some petty reason to sabotage the poor girl.

Is it on her back? I can’t see it on Brickset’s picture.

The bokes don't use pullback motors; they use friction motors. But yeah, I got four sets: 60298 (because as much fun as I had with Lego Racer 2, there was no way I was *not* going to own an official Rocket Racer set), 60311 (mainly for the cool minifig), 60333 (because, as others have said, it's definitely the best bike in the line), and 60341 (for the glow-in-the-dark parts and because I found it on clearance). I also got a https://brickset.com/parts/6388073/motor-cycle-fairing-no-26 from PaB to swap out with the casing on 60311 from time to time. I also sort of regret not getting 60331 , for the vintage vibe.

Yeah, she’s got the Unity, Duty, Destiny symbol on a patch on the back of her jacket, you can see it on the bricklink parts list:

I can't BELIEVE what they've done to these poor Clone Trooper helmets!

Agree on the weirdness, but the rest...

It surely might not have been the most interesting (as in "useful"/"desirable") City theme, but it certainly sticks out more than the 10th iteration of Police/Fire.

I still can't tell apart the myriad Space Port waves from 2009-2020ish, but Stuntz? Yay, definitely remember that one.

That trans orange printed visor is so cool!
Quite situational in use, but cool!

Speaking of Stuntz, I found out yesterday that 60342 Shark Stunt Challenge had a sharkhead part without eyes. It's wild that it only appears there. But as I typed this I realized that they have printed eyes nowadays so it's just one without the print.
Still, the theme had some crazy molds and parts put into it.

I want more Lego hair pieces like this one!

For nostalgic 90s kids like me, it was also notable for the fact that it finally gave us an official minifigure of Rocket Racer! Not a 100% video game accurate one, granted, but still; him finally making an appearance in the plastic is by far the most memorable thing about Stuntz for me, at least ^^

Possibly overshadowed by 60333, but yeah.
