Recommendation: yes 37 / 40 by Tarfful

This set is an excellent buy at $20 dollars, it's well designed and has lot's of details, it also has very unique minifigs. [...] It's only downfalls are the lack of acessories for the minifigs and that there are no cool contraptions on the cars, and by "cool" I mean lethal to the other racer(s).
