Can the LEGO Stuntz 60339 Double Loop arena beat Hot Wheels? Well...

- I finally managed to get the LEGO City 60339 Double loop stunt arena set, and also the my favorite small bike sets, the 60332 Reckless Scorpion Stunt Bike and the best one, the 60333 Bathtub Stunt Bike! I have very high expectations of the double loop set, I really liked playing with Hot Wheels loops and I'm really curious if it can deliver the same playability.

I feel like the price tag of the big set is so high simply because of the new pieces. By itself that's a good enough reason not to buy this set, but especially since these parts will scratch so easily from the cars driving on them, the price seems even more unreasonable. It's a cool concept, but I wouldn't pay more than 70€ for that thing.
Exactly my thought. That price is insane. Even 70€ is pushing it. It looks so much fun, but I'm gonna make do and make a fun cardboard track or something. Glad I watched this video, so I can permanently scrap it off my list. That bathtub motor cycle is a sure buy though!
The thumbnail got me really excited but it's a shame to see that the loop thing didn't work as well as I was hoping, fingers crossed that Lego can find a way to make it more functional in the future 😄 Great review!!
They could add side rails if they made a new mold
Maybe if they had some kind of rails to guide the bikes onto the loops it would help. I have a couple of the earlier sets and understand how aiming the bikes can be a challenge.
The biggest problem is that all the bikes have vastly different centers of gravity and weight, so it is hard to repeat consistent movements succesfully when playing with a bunch of different ones. Tried to get them to make a double jump (2 ramps after each other). Only the one with selfie stick was easy, the rest landed on bum most of the time. There is one with extra set of small wheels at back, that makes awesome wheelies after landing though! They are pretty stable and fast at least.
I hope lego doesn’t get discouraged and drop this line, having this as a hot wheels fan is a match made in heaven, maybe both companies doing a collaboration attempt would be beneficial to both sides, but only time will tell.
Very disappointing. “Santa” left the Stunt Arena for my 6yo in December and we had a ton of fun building and playing with it; especially the bikes. He and I were excited for these loops, but the live demonstration at LegoCon was a flop, with zero successful runs.
Honestly, the bikes alone, or with the simple little orange ramp, provide the most entertainment value and have reliable performance, far exceeding my initial expectations. I appreciate your review to confirm my decision to save my money on this one.
That was a really low moment in the Con. I just assumed they were either bad at it and just needed some more attempts. But this review really puts into perspective just how difficult this is and how it doesn't work as well as lego thinks they do.
I wanna know how this got through legos playtesting, surely the idea that you can get one success from ten tries should've made them go back to the drawing board on this specifically.
I'm surprised this subtheme even got past prototyping considering how Lego doesn't want to damage or stress their parts. Future pieces for the motorized sections will probably include some kind of built-in wheel at the front, for stability and so that the hard plastic doesn't scratch anything.
Personally, I hope Lego gets into bendy track sections, maybe not rip the Hot Wheels design for obvious reasons, but find something that works well, especially with Lego rubber wheels. Then I hope bendy car track can translate to the roller coaster track, I was hoping the latest loop set was going to be partially bendy, as that makes sense for loops; but bendy track also makes sense for corkscrews, banked turns, spirals, and other unique segments like hairpins, Lego could reduce a variety of potential pieces into just one piece due to it's flexibility, which would also help expand on the coaster subtheme. I could also see Lego repurposing flexible car track into a bobsled slide, to expand on the wider amusement park subtheme; halfpipes would be cool as well. There's a lot of potential for large bendy pieces if Lego ever figures out how to produce them.
2:57 "Justice for Monster Jam"🤣🤣🤣👍
I like the bathtub bike though :)
I was excited when I initially saw the Stuntz loop sets, but the Loop coaster is a lot more functional, way better looking, and a much better value.
I’d absolutely buy that bathtub bike!
I feel like this would have been more fun without the loops, and just focus on some fun jumps instead. I think LEGO just isn't cut out for this level of kinematic play.
This review literally settled if I would get a loop set or a wave 1 set with the regular ramps, and I'd rather have the gen 1 small ramps that work over overpriced loop ramps that don't work. I want to get the large truck with the angler tank, it has a character from the show I like
I think if it where four wheeled vehicles instead of bikes it would work better
Yeah
you can try and link 2 bikes with a 2x4 plates at the rear, they have 2 free studs
I hope that LEGO keeps releasing sets at this rate! Keep it up RacingBrick!
As a kid I had Darda cars, quite similar to the Hotweels. They worked very well, i still hear their high pitched sound when I think of them. The motors had to be taken apart from time to time because they became clogged with dog and cat hair. The tracks didn't scratch but they did split apart after a lot of assembling. I think a problem with the bikes is their high profile and instability with 2 wheels. Great for a single ramp but unsuitable for a loop.
I'm not sure how much this would help, but whenever I start having problems with Hot Wheels loops it helps a lot stabilize the track as much as possible. Perhaps using a baseplate underneath would help?
I did the loop after about 4 tries at the lego store... I was surprised at how fun they were. Gonna pick one up and try to launch it off of massive jumps.
tlg should add magnets to the bottom of the cars and along the middle of the track so they have an easier time following
This set is so expensive! I managed to get the single loop set a little cheaper than the RRP and it's a pretty good experience. I can usually get the bikes around the loop 1 time out of four. The secret is getting the correct entry angle. Straight on will not work, you have to angle the bike to the right to line up with the loops. I would like the double loop set but not until the price is seriously reduced!!
I laughed so much but I still want this set. 😂
hopefully one day lego and hot wheels collaborate together, a set with those loops and hot wheels cars made with lego would not be bad
Sadely it will impossable considering matel(the owner of hot wheels brand) also has there own block brand, megablock.
Actually megablock so many released hot wheels themed set from speed champion size to creator expert size which come with real hot wheels car.
Doesn't hasbro own megablocks that's why we were all surprised with the Optimus prime collab
I'm sure they could have cut down on the scratches (or at least made them less visible) by using a solid colour instead of transparent.
Wow, like I knew this set is already massively overpriced but the fact that it also doesn't seem to do what it's supposed to do very well really seals it.
And to make matters worse for this set, because the Stuntz subtheme for City hasn't done particularly well in certain stores of the UK, a lot of the sets have been slashed tremendously by as much as 56% (or crazily, even 90% if you're lucky to find the standalone pullbacks). So, currently at the time of this comment, I could pick up THREE copies of the 60295: Stuntz Stunt Show Arena and Monster Trucks set (reduced from £90 to £40) for LESS than the price of just one these! Or just get one of the arena set and save a tremendous amount!
I think if the bikes were replaced with cars or even buggies or quad bikes they'd be a lot more stable
i say lego make little cars to go with the stuntz theme, like those polybag cars, i remembered a few years back lego made little cars wether it be nascar looking cars or f1 looking cars, i still have a ferrari front wing piece from one of those sets, plus they actually had a pull back function! to add a nicer feel i think a "this car is made of scraps" kinda look might fit better or just go with purple and black or a paintjob that looks like something similar
i somewhat understand why the 140 euro price tag but even then it somewhat doesnt make sense with how "unique" the new loop pieces are as they probably arent gonna get much uses. cant really say especially with how creative the moc community is and the fact that literal businesses are made for little details in lego and such, like chromeworld and forwart stickers, so color/detail(print or sticker) isnt much of a problem.
i think one of the problems with the loop is its too wide, hotwheels cars fit nicely in the tracks and there isnt much room for left to right movement of the car. but with those dimensions and the little polybag cars, mayhaps lego can make the loop pieces work?
I want the bathtub bike. If the loop pieces add a little more On the sides to keep the motorcycles on the track
if it had rails on the loops it would work well
try it with the old drome racers sets if you have any. It looks like the right size for them. You will need plastic front wheels though.
nice
You can see the initial ramp is too straight. Launching the bike into the loop instead of a smooth transition to use the loop
modern lego prices are insane
A Stuntz-os videóddal kezdtem... most látom a csatornád először.. volt bennem egy gondolat, hogy annyira magyaros az akcentusa az illetőnek.. tán csak nem magyar? De. :) Nagyon jó a csatornád, sok sikert hozzá!
Any idea when you'll review the new technic helicopter and red construction thingy?
I'll publish the reviews when the embargo is lifted ;) Last year the August releases were reviewed mid-July, just sayin :)
My son just got enough money to buy this set ( its at half price here at the moment) but after watching this review about the loops im not so sure we will buy it anymore.. maybe we will just wait for the 3rd wave in august. He already have all the stunt sets from first wave too.
Cant wait for the gbcs made with these parts
Gbcs?
@@macdaddy2344 great ball contraption(s)

very cool builds, mostly looping things(not literal loops but builds that go in a loop, sometimes big builds)
also very creative, alot of building techniques(some might be illegal, no need to call the cops doe, but might need authorities)
Like a maze with a marble sized ball?
I think they should have sold the loops separately with a couple of side builds and a few minifigs each for a more affordable price
Please try the lego bikes on hotwheels track :D
Surprising that the loops don't work well considering the previous Stuntz set worked so well! Dissappointing for sure.
..for that insane price, you get two big cool towers from Hot Wheels with 12 cars..
This is giving me videyo vibes, in terms of the theme's success and longevity. I hope Lego gets humbled badly this/next year and come to their senses, in many respects other than this.
Hm, Robin Hood Bricks seemed to have better success with the loop. I imagine it's something that one would get better at with practice. I think it still looks fun and want to try it out! I'd also be interested to see how kids manage with it. I bet Lego play tested it a lot with kids before producing it.
Agreed. I think this set is kinda a "Pro Set" while the new 2023 loop set more easier to do because the loop has nothing at the end.
Maybe if they used a 4 wheeled car it’d work better
The price had already scared me off but the negatives you report on really make this a no go.
New roller coaster 10303 review coming soon?
Not that soon, I have other reviews to prepare and it will take weeks for me to get the roller coaster
It will be funny if you build lego car by yourself😂
they should rename it with lego racers
The biggest fail for TLG with these loops was seeing that they didn't work on the LEGO Con either. Did no one play test the system before production? Waste of money to be honest. The previous Stuntz sets were amazing. I will only pick this one up at over 40% discount for the bikes and minifigures.
I almost considered buying this set after your previous review of the other Stuntz sets.. nope.
I had really high expectations, I wanted this to work so badly... but it does not unfortunately
Is it just me or can you use this loop for a gbc module by launching the balls and making the balls do a loop or something
I'm not sure the balls would stay on the loop, the edge is not very tall
Even by Legos usual standards this should only be 80€ max, I dont get how the loop pieces add another 60€ to that
Huh. If your play experience isn't an outlier one has to wonder why this set even is available. How did this make it through testing? How many people looked at this and went "Yep, that's good enough."?
I feel the best this theme has to offer are the individual stunt bikes themselves. For the loops to work properly they'd probably need a freefall/gravity system similar to the loop coaster whereas even with flywheel motors it's very unlikely the bikes can capture the momentum to follow through the loop let alone two consistently. Didn't expect so much wear/tear on the plastic after only an hour of play, yikes. Lego quality control really needs to do a better job. Lose the loops, and you have a pretty decent $45 set I think.
2:54 your front tires are on backwards. 🙃
Maybe they should have used cars instead of bikes?
just get it for 65 euros brand new, i guess they are getting rid of it.. maybe at this price is worth it? i don't know...
Well youre video is key difference between hotwheel and stuntz tracks: HotWheel has side walls which keep vehicle in track. In video you make same mistake as me at beginnig: you start with motorcycle far from beginning od ramp. Without side walls and in high speed it can easily happens you miss loop before you enter tracks.with side walls. BUT if you start with motorcycle from beginning of rampe, youre success rate will increase rapidly! Try it! It is really big differece!
If you check the video lot of attempts were made starting the bikes right in front of the ramp, actually that's how we tried at the beginning, and it was a very bad success rate for us. Giving them a bit of a run before the ramp seemed to be more succesful, at least for us. But that also shows that there's no consistency in this, something that worked for you might not work for others.
thank you for your honest oppinion. thanks to you i won't make a mistake by buying this overpriced set. as my professor in the uni used to say: "good idea but poor execution!"
Damn I’m surprised these seem sooo bad… Surely they tested this before approval.. hmm strange, somebody dropped the ball somewhere along the development process.
Totally uninterested in this set. Even if I found it on clearance after a while. Interested to see if the GBC community uses the loop pieces in interesting ways 🤔
hi
More than 100,- Euros on the prica tag, no fun playing with it and if you dare to play with it you will gain heavy scretches on the ramp parts. This is no city play set but a 18+ display set. It's just the wrong box.
I would be very disappointed for that price tag. One hour and they look worse than my 30y old lego.
Maybe LEGO didnt test this seasons Stuntz?
The price of this set is too expensive because of the lego stuntz loops
but the stuntz flywheel bikes are cheaper
2 wheels not 4 and not great balance to be expected
This seems doomed from the start. Really simplistic for how expensive it is. I would have a hard time justifying half that price if I was buying it for my Nephew. The fact that it really doesnt work well is a really bad look.
Hot wheels fan [born in '59]
Hot wheels is better cause you can make any track you want with hot wheels unlike lego plus hot wheels can actually bend and lego cant bend so i would rather spend like 10 bucks on hot wheels instead of spending like 100 bucks on a lego set that makes kids mad instead of happy or smt
140€ ?? No thanks. Another dead theme like Vidiyo
How can they raise the price of Lego and still put out stuff like this.. Disappointing
150$ for loops that don't work, Lame Lego, very lame.
This is an absolute embarrassment from Lego. If you're paying a premium price then the least you should expect is a functioning set.
$100 for a set that barely works
Utter Lego trash at an exorbitant price.
