Is the database inaccurate here? The box says it contains 16 parts and that's also how many I can count in the instructions (even considering that back in those days the minifig head and torso were included as one pre-assembled part).

Anyway, despite how cool it was as a LEGO Island fan to finally get characters like Pepper and the Brickster in sets, I wasn't too fond of LEGO Island Xtreme Stunts. Maybe because LEGO Island was no longer as new and cool to me, or maybe because by that point even if the characters had been a perfect likeness of their classic appearance, I was becoming more aware of just how weird the game's character designs had been to begin with.

I never got these sets or played the game; but remember them on store shelves and in catalogs back in the day. Its kind of funny hindsight 20/20; the Xtreme!!! type of stuff is endemic of the early 2000's. Tony Hawk. The X-Games. Rocketpower. Its no surprise that Lego wanted to get a piece of the action. Didn't Lego sponsor a skateboarder and use him briefly as a spokesperson for Bionicle back then too?

Finally, a random set that I own. I thought that it would cost less time for that too happen. But I thonk that it was a fun litle set.

^^^ The wording is 12 pieces AND a minifig, with the minifig taking up 4 pieces (hat, head, torso, legs), so overall that would be 16. So it's plausible the minifig pieces aren't included in the total here. Although an inaccuracy in the database seems more credible...

(EDIT: The details on the set page state 16 pieces, so it's either a case of minifig pieces being classed separately by Huwbot, or he's being overworked and in dire need of a holiday).

It's interesting to see that 16 years ago, the conversion rate for this set was €2 = £1. What us Brits would give to get that sort of pricing on LEGO again.
