Radiator Springs Lightning McQueen Reviews
Brickipedia
“The Radiator Springs Lightning McQueen is a system car made out of 33 pieces. As with all the other system Lightning McQueen variants, this variant is exclusive to the set. The difference to this variant of Lightning McQueen from the variant in 8487 Flo's V8 Café is the... More color of 1x4 bricks that help to connect on the side panels. While in this set the bricks are light grey, in Flo's V8 Café, they are dark grey.”

“Building Lightning McQueen is not hard, the build will take you no longer than 5 mins, but it is a very interesting and fun build. The use of printed parts rather than stickers is a milestone, no difficulties with stickers at last. The finished model looks great, the new... More elements give the set a streamlined, aerodynamic and, well, cool look.”
