“A tad expensive for the amount of pieces you get, but you do get two nice race car minicars for the price. As a gift for a loved one, colleague, or for yourself, it's a nicely designed set to keep on your desk or shelf. Even at full price, I recommend picking this one up.”

“The lightning McQueen build has many interesting snot techniques and has a multitude of printed elements unlike the 2017 juniors one this one feels as if you are actually building something . The Francesco is much of the same as he is a substantial build with a lot less... More printed pieces but has still got tricky angles captured very well. This a great all around set with iconic characters and a well done build and with that in mind I recommend it .”
