I want to see someone make a real life, human sized version of this.
Ejector seats alone aren't enough excitement for the future. Thus, innovation saw the ejection button mounted onto the outside of the car and they started ramming each other.
Another bouquet arm. Now I have to wait for the even more improbable occasion when both the part and minifig are in the set of the day.
That render tho... Lol
Well, I for one did not know this run of Racers existed, but they’re pretty reminiscent of the early 2000’s sets.
Excuse me? At first I thought this was a Ninjago set, I mean, it certainly looks like one (even looks like it has a ninja driving it), but the name was just all wrong. You'd definitely find that kind of name on a Monkie Kid set, but we're not at that point yet in the pool. Racers, who'd have guessed? Feels more City, but I never really paid much attention to any car themed set.
that is one craaaaaaaaazy demon
Oddly similar to the bad guy of that racing game they just announced, but both are pretty generic I suppose

It's also similar to one of the bad guys in World Racers.
I kinda have to wonder why they bothered to use those fender parts if they were just going to slap that go-kart on a giant slab. Are those supposed to be rain shelters for rats?

2012 was the last year for this theme. No Tiny Turbos were released as the Ferrari ones were promotional, even though they used the same scale.
The final wave of Racers, and the first to include non-licensed minifigures since 2003.
I certainly had a lot of fun with the bumper that popped the minifig out! I could definitely see LEGO revisit the idea again soon, maybe as part of the Stuntz line?
Well...I really do like those tires, there're like 'diet-monster truck'. Bet two would look GREAT configured in a motorcycle type vehicle (bonus-points if it's 'Tron-ish' in style).:)
Then there were sets like these, for kids who like to bang and crash everything together. Whereas I've always liked sets like 6590.
An ejector seat that’ll clear you from the crash sounds fine in theory but in reality it just leaves this guy walking around unprotected in the ring of a demolition derby. Maybe that’s intentional, gotta earn the “crazy” part of his name somehow
One of the mercifully-rare heads ideal for building a period-correct MOC of 2020.
If 14-year-old me got to name a LEGO set:
Nice helmet print!
Bart Blaster, former competitor in the hit reality TV competition World Racers had a tough time finding work on anything afterwards. So he stuck to racing and now, 2 years later, participates in one of the most dangerous motorsports: ejector seat battling.
It's a living. And it beats racing down a mountain lobbing explosives at each other.
I miss Racers.
I remember my younger brother had 9095 from this line. These were fun little sets.
I really liked 9094 Star Striker due to the superhero-esque colours. I also had at least one more set, I think it was 9095 Nitro Predator. They were actually great fun, nice suspension and the gimmick to shoot the minifigs out when they crash into each other was good.
I have all four of these trucks! They were hard to find, though - only my local Sainsbury's stocked them. Think this truck was the first one I built.
Huh, I didn't know these trucks were a thing! It looks cool though, in an unconventionally fun way. I like the top side of the car build, the sticker details and the driver's design =)
This demon does look a little cray - cray!

Yeah but most of the World Racer bad guys just had red versions of the heroes' vehicles. This guy has the same ridiculously oversized with giant wheels vibe going on
These sets had the some of the best functioning ejector seat designs. They actually did their job of launching the minifigure out of the vehicle pretty well.
