What reviewers are saying

"Turbo's color scheme is very striking. The... turquoise... black and small bits of yellow really make him stand out."

EuroBricks

"I like the general premise. Uh, I I also very much like those those tires. Those are one piece tires. There's no wheel inside of there."

JANG's LEGO Reviews

Ecosystem

other Throwbots — Turbo is the reviewer's favorite due to color scheme and theme, but offers less posability than other Throwbots; the choice depends on whether you prefer vehicle-based or posable figure designs.
