I'm pleased with the Karai Bike Escape, despite what may seem like a low value based on the price-to-parts ratio. The minifigs are great (especially Leo), it has a fun action feature, and the scenery, while simple, captures the feel of NYC. If you're looking for an entry point into the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles line or a way to add Leonardo to your collection, this is a set for you!
