I really think Huwbot is over Clikits and is all aboard the under-$10-car train
I don’t think the driver has four wheels...
Red? Check. Four wheels? Check. Unless you count the steering wheel. Driver? Check.
^^^None from that theme since October 20 - before the brief Bionicle invasion during November and December,
That's a cool torso with the scorpion.
There was a video game released for that theme called "LEGO Stunt Rally". I have played it, and it's a pretty fun game!
This specific model is nothing special, but the slightly bigger one with the red driver was amazing (6602 Scorpion Buggy), while also being really cheap.
@Isabella_and_Lego_Liker No not from this theme specifically, but not counting this one 4 of the 11 last sets were small cars, mostly pollybags
So... looking at the name of this set, it leads me to believe that either the driver himself is four-wheeled, or the proper name of his specific vehicle is a “four wheel.”
There might be other interpretations, but can we all agree this set is poorly named?
@HobbyBros All four drivers from this theme had that style of torso: scorpion, shark, tiger, and crocodile. (See https://brickset.com/minifigs/category-Town/subcategory-Race)
Unibrows were all the rage 20 years ago.
This is not the most complicated set.
Bought it for the minifigure to make a scorpion knight.
"Red Four Wheel Driver": It is certainly all of those things, yes
Smallest ever monster truck!
I'd hate to have my backside right up against the exhaust stacks--that looks painful!
I have 6619 version of this. It made me start buying sets from that Race subtheme.
If this guy hits something, he's going over the steering wheel. The minifigs waiting on the torso transplant list will then get a call from Dr. Brickenstein over at 60204 a few hours later.
