Mater is all plastic-I know they'll say it's a safety thing, but it seems cheap. 2. The blue stand for the fire ring is horrible! The post sticks out past the base, so it wobbles. 3. My son always notices if things aren't just like the movie and he wonders why there weren't two platforms of the same size for the jump over the vehicles. 4. The cannon only works if you have it just so everytime-a 4 year old shouldn't have to get frustrated with the toy!! All in all, I don't think it was worth the $24.99 I paid at Toys R Us, but at least I'm not hot gluing helmets, stars and buck teeth on all of his other Cars characters. I just hope Mattel or Disney does a better job with future sets. I really wonder if they even have children test these out before releasing them.....

This is somewhat frustrating as it is hard to keep up with the products coming...Of course, it's about capturing the all-mighty dollar when the 'iron is hot' but the true way to make a buck is to slow down and make the consumer want it when it comes to collecting. Didn't anybody learn anything from the baseball card bust? Having a cars collection is fun but the hope that one day it will be worth something (say 15 years) is also good. Unfortunately, the manufacturer doesn't care about that... Nonetheless, I will continue to be excited about my updates from carstoysblog.com and hope for a single car release of Flo...........food for thought. Happy 4th of July, Everyone!
