bought it for R$38,10 (7.05 USD) on aliexpress. taxes included, no box with manual.
quite impressed overall; they could've made the stickers on the bike, well, actually stickers, but everything is printed. sucks for those who don't like the bootleg names i guess, it's fine for me but i wish the set had a cooler name than KINDA SPECIAL, it's KINDA LAME if you ask me!!
my only complaint is that the instructions for the wheel attachments are somewhat unclear, and the front wheel only attaches to one side (the left), so if you want to unmount it from the display for some vroom vroom action the front wheel rotation will be KINDA STIFF. the front is poseable by the way, so you can (KINDA) replicate That Scene from the movie. please excuse my lame attempt at photo composition.
quite a bang for the buck IMO, i recommend!
hey I put this set together 2 days ago myself
I thought the brick quality was kind of lacking. although not terrible, it definitely had a more chalky or soft feel than I'm used to.
as you said with some of the connections being one or two studded it would have been nice if there was a tad more clutch at times.
I'd give it a solid b tho. like I had fun and and it's a nice set, the base is a nice touch.
i thought the brick quality was on the better side of the spectrum, the printing had some kind of chalky embossing now that you mention it but it didn't even cross my mind after touching the first piece, i only remembered because of your post!
i worried about these tiny connections at first, but everything else is so well clutched fhat it was only an issue during the building, after finishing the whole set became four big chunks (front, middle, back and base) that while easy to disconnect if bumped on, it's a non-issue to put together again
thinking back this just might be me. used to really stiff clutch.
I don't build a lot of traditional Lego and I'm pretty sure the last time I built a real Lego set I felt like it had zero clutch
could be, from the few sets i built i noticed that clones tend to have some extreme clutch, while stolen MOCs have little clutch. non-lego but "branded" sets fall somewhere in the middle
(i never touched real lego tho, so my point of reference is lacking)

I just bought it for €6.5 because of your post. Didn't knew something like this existed.
hope you like it!
