McQueen Lego
I recently got the LEGO Lightning McQueen set and really like it. It was quick and easy to build, with clear instructions, which made the whole experience enjoyable. The finished car looks great and is instantly recognizable, with bright colors and nice details. It also feels sturdy, so it's good for both display and play. Overall, it's a fun and well-made set, perfect ...

Flimsy & hard to build
Really badly designed; it does not stay together. You put one piece on and three come off! Impossible to build

A great product which was alot of fun
Really enjoyed this product. The lightning mcqueen design was a great idea and my 9 year old nephew really loved this. It wasn't too difficult to assemble with a good image guide. I also really think the materials being in separate packaging whoch was numbered was great and stopped things getting lost. However I do believe there should also be readable instructions. It ...

Awesome - Kachow!
The perfect Lego addition for any Disney cars fan!
My 12 year old was able to complete this in approximately an hour, the numbered bags of Lego bricks made the building process easy and stress free and the instructions are so easy to follow. Bricks are super easy to click together - not a problem for little hands.

Kachow!
This set is very good. However, there are almost no prints and soooo many stickers (so if you find it difficult to place stickers then this set is not for you). However, this set has masterful building techniques and hidden details which make the build experience AMAZING! If you are a fan of the Cars™ franchise then this set is perfect for you! Not too much playability ...

A True Champion of Speed
A must have for LEGO enthusiasts! The build experience was so much fun. Sure, it has a lot of decals, but I mean, so did Lightening McQueen himself. The decals are great. Take the time to line up the bolts on both sides though. I loved the way the rear window and spoiler came together. The final look, for me, is near flawless. I hope this stays on shelves for a b...

Best speed champions yet!!
This is my favourite speed champs set Lego have ever done. I’ve done the majority of them but this one just looks so cool. First with no mini figure as well (for obvious reasons) but I loved the different interior and the details like the prop shaft underneath. Just so cool.

Lightning McQueen
I was very excited to purchase this Lego set as Lightning McQueen is one of my favourite movie characters. I am 8 years old and I built this Lego set in 30 minutes with no adult assistance. It was very easy to build and looks exactly like Lightning!!!
