Recommendation: meh 4.8 / 5 from 281 reviews

What a fun little car. Unlike any other LEGO cat we've had. All other cars are delicate and you can't really play with them but this thing is tough! It's been dropped and smashed and it's held together. It's was a fun build for my 8 year old.

Recommendation: no 4.2 / 5 from 5 reviews

Fairly quick build and fun to play with. Great pull-back function. The engine pops out when it crashes. Holds up well. Good traction and big wheels. No suspension. 10 year old son loves it.

Recommendation: no 4 / 5

A little more compact, but with bigger tires than Whack! Bash! features that smooth, pull-back action and also has the flying engine function.

Worthy competitor to 42072: WHACK!. Works great. Does it look good? Yes, it does. I like it more than 42072. Mainly for its more aggressive and tougher look. And for its tires!

What can I say? Despite this being a repeat of 42072 WHACK! with a different skin I totally enjoyed it. I probably enjoyed it more having the pair of them to pit against each other, and I'll see about building the 'B' model and reporting back when I've gotten through the other priorities in my build queue. If I could only choose one, I'd go for WHACK! as that has the edge for me aesthetically, but aside from a personal preference on design, there's nothing between them at all. The functions are the same and the build experience is the same.
