Recommendation: yes 9.6 / 10 by Clone OPatra

That's a nice, high, solid grade where I come from, and that's exactly what this set deserves. You could say that .4 was deducted just because of the stickers, and it wouldn't be so false to say so. It doesn't make me want to run out and buy more Cars sets, but I'm pleased with the one that I wanted.

Recommendation: yes 9.3 / 10 by LuxorV

Overall, this is a nice little set for Cars' fans. It includes two of the most popular characters, as well as a bit of background to add to playability. As one would expect, the main goal of this kind of set is to prompt you to buy more, and it has been achieved pretty well. On the other hand, even if I do not expect anybody to go army-building with Guido and Luigi, it is a nice and cheap way to get more characters.

This is really a nice little set for all Disney cars collector. My son has a couple of Disney Cars Lego sets and they are all great. You get Guido, Luigi, and a couple of Pit Stop pieces ( flag finish line and pit stop gate). The directions are clear and the quality as with all lego products is great. The pieces really hold up well and the detail is great.

From Bricks To Bothans

by Ace Kim

Not a terrible set by any means. Luigi's only available in this set and the much more expensive 8679 Tokyo International Circuit so for completists who want to collect every minicar, it's a nice cheap opportunity to pick up some core characters but I'd still recommend waiting for a sale to pick up the duo.
