Jetpack Racer
What identifies him in a single glance is the rocket pack strapped to his back; the white helmet with its red visor and race number fills in the rest.

LEGO prints a different code for each production batch and region, which is why one item has several. The scanner recognises all 3.
About this minifigure
LEGO invented this character from scratch, and yet the rules of his world are obvious immediately: somewhere above the city a race is running, and the track goes through the air. The helmet is a new element, so the figure also interests people who collect mainly for parts.
If space is your thing, he slots neatly into sci-fi sets and alongside Series 26, which was devoted to space โ together they make a coherent crew. Children take a simpler view: a jetpack is one of those accessories that changes a game instantly, because it lets any minifigure fly, including the one who was supposed to be a firefighter or a pirate.
He carries no great backstory, but the versatility is enormous. Outfits like this one sell through quickly, bought by builders casting their own cities as much as by collectors.
Did you know: Real rocket belts fly for an embarrassingly short time โ the famous Bell Rocket Belt of the 1960s kept its pilot airborne for about 20 seconds.
