This is the new for 2024 LEGO City Robot World Roller Coaster Park and arcade set. This comes in with 986parts and a weight of 1.6kg. It represents great value and a raft of play features and details. You also get 8 minifigures (I mistakenly said 7 in the video). And my favourite part: An Exo-Force inspired mech!!!

Roller-coaster model that really works!

The LEGO City Robot World Roller-Coaster Park is brimming with captivating features for fans of gaming and amusement parks.

Robot-themed gaming park

You can send the 3-car train whizzing along a maze of twists and bends that weave through a futuristic video-gaming venue. It even includes an Exo-Force Mech!
