I would like to see big (2000piece) Monster Jam with proper suspension, engine, gearbox and 4 wheel steering!

[GhostTarget]

I liked the Monster Jam sets, they were fun to build & my son loved to race them. I just wish they put out Blue Thunder before the line ended.

[ThuNder]

I really would love to see a large scale Monster Jam truck with a small gearbox and all. Would be interesting to see the suspension.

Whole lot of adults in here missing the point of these sets. Monster Jam is huge for little kids in the 3-8 or 10 kind of range, like my 5 year old. We had all six of these and I actually found this video when googling hoping they had more sets coming. They are great builds for kids that age and the B builds were lots of fun too. Bummer to see the collaboration is done.

Looking forward to seeing your in depth review of the ornithopter

i wasn't a huge fan of all of the Monster Jam pullback trucks, but I liked the idea. For the most part, they were rough around the edges and were not going for accuracy. When Technic goes for accuracy - it usually comes at the expense of both FUN FEATURES and AFFORDABILITY. That's why I don't like this new direction.

The small(ish) new Technic set I´m most curíous about is the 42169 Formula E car because of the first time combination of pull-back and (hopefully fixable) steering function. The mixed tire set also looks more promising than what we got in the 50-Euro car category before.

[SaperPl]

While there are some interesting building techniques in it, I feel like this is a missed opportunity to add new types of wheel arch panels, especially if we'll be getting more of such E Race sets with different branding. Also I would love to see this having some kind of suspension for additional playability.

[RoscoeWasHere]

The reason being, that shiny new McLaren license.

I loved the build though. Haven't touched the stickers, but I like the colors and a more practical pull-back car, even if I'll never use that feature.

[AHYL]

This set is quite number of steps back from the Monster Jam based sets I feel; more expensive than before and while I don't doubt it is more interesting to build, it seems....bland somehow? It could be to do with it being a bit of a one-trick-pony as it doesn't offer B-models like the previous sets of this price range and size did; it's an issue that's shared with the Bulldozer set as that set and this one doesn't really do much

[Randomcat]

Just got done building it today. Ive never seen such a wide pull back set, but I think Its Pretty dang cool Lol

[drewlovelyhell]

I wish more sets had pull-back motors. I haven't had a pull-back car since I was a kid.

[Superflip_Cuber]

I built the mclaren set on January 2nd and I think it‘s a good car. But less stickers, a few prints and a suspension would have made the model excellent.

[brickchef]

i loved them they were perfect toys and good gifts for all kids nices and nephews. b model and super playability not everything has to be for afols

[erich_kubart]

Oh man I hope you are wrong about the monster jam series being cancelled, I am a huge fan of them I’ve even modified all mine to remove the front bumpers so they look way more like the actual trucks.
That being said this car does look good but I’m still not a fan of the pull back motors obviously I understand why they exist I just personally don’t like them.
I hope you get a chance to ask the designers if the monster jam series will continue or not.
Thank-you for another great review.
Take care & hi from Canada

I will certainly miss the Lego Monster jam series! 😢 I also wish I had bought the gravedigger.

[yahyayazgi]

4:36 maybe they were made green to be easier to find?

[thelse]

I'm already finishing an ALT build for this, an FWD rally car. Hopefully will be a decent B model option :)

[lgbl]

Monster Jam was good Lego series
R I P Lego Monster Jam 🪦⚰️🪦

[msclrhd]

So they replaced the interesting body designs in the Monster Jam sets with yet another car. I ended up quite liking the Monster Jam sets due to the different body shapes and designs.
