Stuntz! Great line of sets, if a little pricy, but City always is.
YEAAAA HOT WHEELS WOOOOO
I want to see this used as a space windscreen.

It actually reminds me of the old "Hot Wheels - World Race" TV movie's ramps.

You just unlocked a super old memory for me with those movies. That CGI was... something.
@Norikins:
They may be transparent, but all the reinforcement would make them look terrible in that usage.

Reinforcements are on the edges, this is a big part with plenty of inobscured transparent real estate. I never noticed that this could be a really cool windscreen for spacey mocs, but now I want it!
Is this for the airplane of today's Airport?
For only the sickest of flips

The Dutch word for "disaster" is "ramp", so that usage would be fitting imho.

Fortunately, in the UK at least, the highest price sets hit half price after a few months. That's when I got the last wave anyway. Still patiently waiting for the loop sets to get reasonable!
@TransNeonOrangeSpaceman:
Russian aircraft carrier launches.
Looking at those loop sets that this piece came in always makes me hear the Xalax racetrack music from Lego Racers 2 in my head: a couple of the tracks had huge loops like that - the first time I saw anything like that in relation to Lego - and so there's a permanent association there for me. The fact that Rocket Racer, the final boss of that game, also made his first physical appearance in Stuntz definitely strengthens that connection in my mind, too xD
I suppose the actual Xalax racer sets from 2001 wouldn't make it around those loops in practice, though, since they look to be designed specifically only with the flywheel bikes in mind...

Second physical appearance, his first was as the Race Car Guy from series 18 of the CMF, got the logo on his racing suit and everything.
@ThatBionicleGuy:
Well, that depends on exactly how you launch it, right? Set this up on a table, and if you can precisely aim a blunderbuss…
