“One of three Cars sets labeled with the “Ultimate Build” moniker, this Target stores exclusive set has the lowest piece count (196) out of the three and is severely overpriced at $29.99 MSRP. It brings Lightning McQueen’s main rival in the Cars 2 movie to a larger scale.... More It’s quite puzzling though why Francesco would be chosen for an UB set; his role is minor at best with others, such as Finn McMissile or Holly Shiftwell, having a much more significant role plus more screen time than Francesco.”

“LEGO set 8678 Ultimate Build Francesco offers a charming and detailed representation of the Cars 2 character, with 196 pieces and clever designs like the minifigure frying pan headphones for the Pity helper. Francesco's sleek design and vibrant color scheme are highlights, though the set is light on unique parts compared to other Ultimate Builds”
