De LEGO City Stuntz Shark Attack is hands down one of the strangest LEGO sets I've ever seen.
It's part of a larger line of LEGO toys that focuses on stunts, and this set is definitely the weirdest of them all.

In this review, I take a detailed look at this shark attack stunt challenge.
- The combination of sharks, pirates and treasures creates an exciting and adventurous play scenario
- Can be combined with other sets from the LEGO City Stuntz series
- Limited functionality of the shark wheels
It's all about sharks spinning around and a little guy on a motorbike trying to get through. There's even a little skeleton guarding the treasure. The goal is for the man to avoid the sharks and thus earn the treasure. I'm not exactly sure how they figured this would work, but it's actually quite fun, albeit a strange set.
The sharks in the set are standard LEGO sharks with jaws that open and close. There are two regular figures and one small skeleton present. There is also a mechanic who can repair the engine with a small tool kit. In addition, there is a daredevil adventurer who for some reason has a map, as if he is looking for a treasure. When he gets on his bike, he can also change his cap for a helmet, so that's an extra accessory that comes with this kit.
The nice thing is that the motor has a friction drive, so you can get some traction and drive the motor across the floor, hopefully passing under the sharks.
You just need to roll it a few times on the surface and it will move across the floor and hopefully under the sharks.

We've got six barrels here that I suspect are explosives or something else. We have the male guarding it here. And let's try. Oh no, he didn't make it. Oh no, try again. Almost, you were almost there. The only thing I don't like about it is that the wheels turn here, and I thought they would drive the shark wheels, but they just spin without doing anything. So you basically have to push it yourself for it to work, and it's pretty hard to get the little motorcyclist in between the gates.
However, there are a few cool aspects to this set. There is actually a treasure, you get a few diamonds, actually three diamonds, so that's a nice addition to have with your set. I also think it's more fun if you have more of these Stuntz sets because you can combine them and play together. And it's actually the first LEGO motor I've seen with a rear friction wheel, so I think there are tons of ways to play with this, especially when combined with other sets.
Overall, it is a good choice for kids who love sharks or enjoy dangerous stunts and adventures. But on its own it's a bit strange. The set consists of 122 pieces and is quite easy to assemble. The age recommendation is from 5 years old, which is relatively low for LEGO. So I think you can make it with your four-year-old and maybe help them build this structure above a little bit, but the rest they can do themselves because it's not that many pieces and they're easy to put together.
The dimensions of the set are about 19 centimeters high, 26 centimeters wide and 9 centimeters deep, so it's not very big and quite easy to play with. Although I think it's a bit of an odd set, I absolutely love it.
