REVIEW: 71792 Sora's Transforming Mech Bike Racer

[Pchan1983]

Here is my review on 71792 Sora's Transforming Mech Bike Racer:

 

THE GOOD:

• Excellent minifigures plus a new baby dragon all in one set.
• Cool colour schemes on the main build.
• Transformation works smoother than expected.

THE NOT SO GOOD:

• High price.
• In bike form, some times it can be a bit wobbly due to the transformation feature.

I like it to be honest, this caught my eyes with its minifigures and colour and it did not disappoint.  The 3 minifigures are excellent with great printed details.  My favourite is definitely Sora, she reminds me of Samurai Pizza Cat so much.  The other two minifigures are very well done too, and Rapton's sword blew me away as I was expecting to be 2 separate pieces but in fact it's a one duel moulded piece.  Can't wait to get extra when it eventually available from PAB or Bricklink.  The bike/mech itself has cool colour matching Sora's outfit.  The building experience isn't something unique but interesting enough to keep you engaged.  Both the bike and mech by itself looks good, however when in bike form because of the transformation play feature, it can be wobbly (can't stand on its own) depending on how well you close some of the limbs in mech form.  The transformation though works surprisingly smooth!  The real down side of this set is really its high RRP, without discount it's hard to justify the price even with the excellent minifigures.  However, it's not hard to get discount on this.  Based on that while still priced on the higher end, it doesn't feel as ridiculous with a 20% off discount.  I would still recommend this set to Ninjago fans or people who likes to collect detailed minifigures!
