Toys and Games Reviews of Disney Cars: Radiator Springs Mountain Challenge Track Set
Customer Review: If I could give it no stars, I would.
Summary: 1 Stars
This toy is the poster child for manipulative corporate greed.
The playset is obviously designed to only look good from the angle it was photographed from. Don't be fooled, it's all facade, no substance.
It is flimsy, and the cars do not go around the track properly. The "Wagon wheel" which is supposed to be a "see if your car can get through" kind of challenge, always swings around to block the car unless you are actually HOLDING it.
I'm glad that there were a few reviews that said their child liked it, but mine became bored with it after 5 minutes of it NOT working right, and went back to his simpler hot wheels figure-8 track. And he LOVES the movie, so that's saying soemthing.
Don't buy it. It's a waste of plastic.
Customer Review: Yard Sale It - More Than 1 Car Doesn't Work At A Time
Summary: 2 Stars
"Santa" gave this to our son this Christmas, and I (his father) was nearly as excited as he was. However, after spending nearly an hour making sure I put it together correctly, we were both disappointed to find that only 1 car can run on it at a time, and *occassionally* one car will make it all the way around. Sally works best. The Lightning McQ that came with it worked great originally, but doesn't make it all the way around.
The only "Challenge" (as the name states) is trying to get two to stay on the track at the same time. We've tried a number of the cars and a bunch of 'timing' to get two cars to run, but no luck. If anyone figures it out - please post!
Will probably end up yard-sale-ing it in the summer -- what a bummer.
Customer Review: Disappointed
Summary: 2 Stars
I brought home this toy for my two boys and used my college degree putting it together. It comes with one Lightning McQueen car and the others must be purchased separately for around $3-4. No problem, right? Wrong! You can't find these toys! Evidently the cars are so scarce that they are going for $30+ on ebay! Not only that, while my boys love the toy and are pretty good about turning it off while not playing with it, they had some friends over to play and they ran it for about 15 minutes continuously. It burned up the motor! We've only had it a week! I gave it two stars because the cars themselves seem to be well built, and my kids truly love this toy, it's just not a quality product.Customer Review: My boys love it!
Summary: 4 Stars
My 3 & 4 year old sons absolutely love this toy! They are big CARS fans, so when I saw this, I decided to take a chance on it despite the negative reviews. It snapped together pretty easily - no tools required. We even completely disassembled it for the two day ride home from Grandma's, reassembled it and it still worked great. My only complaint is that it is so loud. Also, if one of my kiddos accidentally leans on it a bit, it tends to come apart in one area. I put it on a table to cut down on this problem. This is still a great toy although I wouldn't pay more than thirty dollars for it if you can help it. It is not worth the fifty dollars that The Disney Store is charging.Customer Review: Not a bad toy!
Summary: 4 Stars
We purchased this for our 6 year old son for his Birthday, it's not a bad toy at all. My husband assembled the toy within 10 minutes. The directions are very clear. He said that it's harder to take a Barbie out of the box than to assemble this. My son has been having a great time playing with it with no problems. There is only one small downfall. It seems the only cars that work with this set are the smaller ones like Sally, and the several Mcqueens that are out there. We tried using the King, Chick and Sheriff cars, but they are too heavy and don't round the track well. All in all he is having a blast with it and it is a great addition to his other "Cars" playsets.
