Certainly not the worst model as that honor is reserved for Francesco. Ultimate Build Lightning McQueen isn't much better, but it at least feels like a better value for your money. Any fan of Lightning would enjoy it if you can get past the weird look. If you can pick it up on sale, go for it; it's a pretty good parts pack if you need a lot of red.
