'Ow, move over' 'No, you-' 'Man it's so squished up here' 'Get down to the #2 block'
Minifigs:
Excellent Minifigures. The green racer has a face I've never seen before, and the black racer has one side covered in a handkerchief and one exposed, looking angry. The printed torsos and printed helmets look good too, adding detail. My only suggestion would be to have one side of the face looking happy, and the other side angry. The green guy can be disgruntled or furious. Which side do you turn it to as he celebrates on the podium?
Black Bike:
Top notch. very sleek, flame stickers are REALLY awesome, but maybe do it in one sticker instead of three? the dynamite is nice, but the clip for it is light gray. It should be black. And it would be cool if you could, like, dump the dynamite, instead of just undoing it. [Lame.]
Green Bike:
Also high quality. The catapult works about as well as I thought it would, it flings the missile an inch into the air but gets surprising distance at times. The third wheel looks good though, without the catapult mechanism the black bike would be way bigger.
Podium:
Too small. There isn't really enough room for the racers to stand comfortably, and there are three spots for only two racers. What's the last spot for, the snake? The trophy is neat.
Overall:
World Racers should have had a third team. Maybe blue? But regardless, this is a fun little set with lots of playability. Worth buying.

Motorbike race
This is a cool little set. An easy way to get two different motorbike types, a piece of dynamite, and a trophy. On with the Pros and Cons!
Pros:
Two bikes: You get the two most common bikes in this set, one in black, the other in green. Really nice if you don't already have any bikes.
Pieces: Wide variety. Missiles, dynamite, space police helmet, hoth visor, and an all-new trophy piece. Pretty nice :)
Rocket Launcher: Contrary to the other reviews posted, I have found that the rocket launcher is not that hard to use, and can actually fire pretty far. IF you pull it back far enough. It helps if you pull from the lip of the cup instead of actually pressing on the missile.
Cons:
STICKERS!: It would seem that all lego series will have one major flaw. The major flaw of the World Racers series is the amount of stickers you have to put on. They aren't that easy to put on either.
Not enough parts: You don't get a whole lot of pieces, most likely because of the large size of some of them.
Overall: It's a great little set, with high playability. I would recommend this set to anyone who likes world racers or needs some bikes.9 out of 10 people thought this review was helpful.
LEGO World Racers - Snake Canyon Review
This is a great set to have and it's fun to play with as well. The build is very nice and easy and we also get a lot of stickers in this set. This model also comes with a podium, a trophy and a snake. There're also 2 motorcycles in this set: We get a black one which has a really nice looking design. On one side you can also see a dynamite piece. The lime green motorcycle has a nice looking sidecar with a catapult but that feature doesn't work really well. The minifigs are very cool and the figure of the Team Extreme team has a very cool looking design as well. As I told you in the beginning: It's a fun set to have - even for pieces which you can use for future MOC's (My own creations) and/or brickfilms for sure.
All in all this set is an great set and I would HIGHLY recommend you to get this. You can find this set on eBay, BrickLink and Amazon for sure. Here is the link where you can check out the full gallery I made for this set on my website: http://www.klokriecher.de

Not bad not bad
This is my first set of World Racers, I am overall happy with this set, not hard to build, actually my spouse build it with my son and I applied the stickers, the stickers are nice and they are not to hard to apply unlike the boats were there are lots of stickers, the motorcycles are a nice addition to our collection, I sure wish that Lego would have made 3 teams so that the podium would actually be full...........maybe the snake came in first place.
