Modified Race Cars

"A solidly built City racer set with a compelling cyberpunk visual identity and fun modular accessories, earning a BrickScore of 77.4 and a 4.6-star owner rating; the larger car impresses, though the smaller vehicle and plain minifigures keep it from reaching the top tier."

Both expert reviewers praised the Modified Race Cars set for its strong build quality and distinctive retro-futuristic cyberpunk aesthetic, landing a BrickScore of 77.4. The standout is the larger car's impressive drum-lacquered silver color blocking, while the modular accessory system (rotor blades, missile launchers, rocket boosters) adds genuine play variety. Owner ratings back this up, with 55 Amazon buyers averaging 4.6 out of 5. The main tension in the reviews is between the polished larger vehicle and the smaller car's awkward minifigure seating.

Where they split: Both reviewers were positive overall, but JANG gave more pointed criticism of the smaller car's ergonomics and the simplistic minifigures (scoring minifigures at 45 vs Brickset's 85), while Brickset treated the hairpiece-helmet issue as a minor design constraint rather than a flaw. The gap in minifigure scoring (64.6 consensus) reflects this split.
