    One of the Best

    Written by (TFOL) in United States,


    Personally this was one of my favorite sets ever made. There is DAYS of playability in this set, and anyone who has any idea about Xtreme Stunts should get this set. There is many rare pieces, plenty of minifigs including Pepper Roni, Sky Lane, and one of the brickster's henchmen. There is also many Light Tan colored bricks and elements, which I'm pretty sure are ONLY used in the Island Xtreme stunts series.
    Both of the light posts come off easily though, and the whole idea of using the Lego poles to make the characters is kinda boring, these two cons are easily overwhelmed with the awesome half pipe, slide (for skateboarding, not minifigs!), grind rails, radio, and ramp.
    The skateboards are great and customizable too! The set comes with 5 or 6 stickers to put on the 3 skate boards, and you can change between yellow or black wheels. Sadly, the yellow skate boards doesn't look too much like the one he uses in Lego Island 2 and Xtreme Stunts(video games), but its still cool.
    This set is much better than any Lego set of today's time, because legos are becoming more and more expensive, and there are too many small pieces for detail instead of where the money could be used to make the set bigger.
    This set was easily worth $20 USD and is a collectors item. I have now seen this set selling sealed up to $300! So if you plan on getting this set to play with and don't mind buying an opened lego set (not me, i pay extra just so i can open the box because it brings me back some of my best memories) go to BRICK LINK and buy this set for a realistic price, like $20 to $60, compared to amazon or eBay.
    Set is much better than those of today, and its from the best theme of all time.

  • Great To Have in Your Town

    Written by (Unspecified , rhodium-rated reviewer) in United States,

    I own this, and it was worth getting. The halfpipe is very cool with all the lights and the slide which is a nice feature. The funbox is pretty cool too with the rail, but I also like the fact that you can fold it into a ramp for doing kickflips off of. Overall, this is a great set and it is a must own for Lego town fans.

    a good set

    Written by (Unspecified , silver-rated reviewer) in United States,

    This is a very good set, it's cool and fun to play with. The stick pieces that attach to the backs of the minifigs are almost useless, except in MOCs.

    pros:
    -great minifigs: Pepper, Sky, and a Brickster Henchman
    -accessories: 3 skateboards, radio, and a trash can
    -the lights swivel
    -the ramps are cool
    -parts

    cons:
    -sticks that attach to the backs of the skateboarders
    -kind of fragile (not that much, but it is kind of)

    Very nice set, it is a good addition to any collection, especially if you have a big Lego city.

  • Best skateboard park ever!

    Written by (Unspecified , gold-rated reviewer) in United States,

    This is awesome. It has a slide, a pipe, and a ramp. It also has 3 skateboarders with awesome skateboards. Tha stickers are also personalizeable because you pick from a lot and use only the ones you want. Overall the best playability ever in a set that wasn't star wars.
