Do you? These things go against the foundations that LEGO was started on.
You know, that something could be a castle, a racecar, and a spaceship in
the same day. Hasbro could easily make these things, or Mattel. They would
sell much better. I get the feeling that only 4-6 year-olds will enjoy this.
It appears to be a marketing scam, too. You see, the object of the game is
like the Speed Slammer sets, sorta. You press down on the launcher, which
shoots the Racer off. Apparently you try to ram it into a wall(not
included) and the driver ejects. Also, you have to race, so you need two of
the racers.
