Mattel Disney and Pixar Cars Glow Racers Launch ‘N Criss-Cross Playset with 2 Glow-in-the-Dark Toy Cars Including Lightning McQueen & Jackson Storm, HPD80

My son’s 3 and has been having lots of fun with this track, he’s adapted it and enjoys racing the cars provided but also firing his hot wheels cars up there!I think it will be something that gets put away and taken out and will be enjoyed for a few years to come. That being said, on offer it’s value for money, full price? Wouldn’t have purchased.

Purchased for my grandson who is Cars mad! Great little track and comes with Lightening Mcqueen and Jackson Storm, not so much glow in the dark but that didnt matter to him. Good price as it includes the 2 cars.

This is a really fun little set for kids enthusiastic about cars. Considering the set it primarily plastic is fairly robust, the cars have been sent down the stairs multiple times and don't have a mark on them. It days they glow in the dark but if they do we can't really tell. They're currently on sale for £20.99 which I think is a reasonable price for them making it good value but I don't think they're worth the full £40.

Bought as a present for my nephew and he loves itGreat value as I bought it when it was on sale

My son has loved playing with his new cars toy although I don't think it actually glows in the dark all that well. Worth the price just for the two included cars.

This is a fun racing set for fans of Disney Pixar Cars. You get both Lightning McQueen and Jackson Storm to race against each other, although no doubt other vehicles of similar size will work.The set is easy to setup and measures just short of 3 feet. This will fit in most living rooms or play areas with ease, not forgetting that the cars will race on a bit further past the finish line.This does look like it ought to attach to other sets, however I couldn't find any similar connecting ones when looking.Racing cars never gets boring, so this should produce plenty of replay use. There's also the Criss cross area to change racing around a little.As it's made by Mattel, it's a shame it hasn't been made compatible with Hot Wheels ramps and track, although you can understand keeping Disney Pixar Cars and Hot Wheels cars separate entities.Overall, kids will love playing with this. They seem to love smashing things too, so the cross cross bit will provide a lot of entertainment.Not forgetting to mention the glow in the dark bit, althoug admittedly kids should be asleep when it's dark, so it's not necessarily a good idea unless you have a really dark room with no windows.

This arrives in parts so you'll need to put it together which I tend to like because it allows me and my son to build it together which improves his thinking and motor skills. Once built the track looks great and my boy couldn't wait for it to get dark so we could see the cars glowing.I will say though, that I wish the launchers were a tad easier to operate as you have to give them a firm smack to send the cars successfully through the track.It's easy to send the cars down the straight track but not so easy to send them through the criss cross track with the cars often failing to jump across the track. None the less this makes it more fun and determined to successfully send your chosen racer through the criss cross track. The set features Lightning McQueen which is exactly like the die cast version and Jackson Storm.The set is almost exacting of hot wheels and reminds me of the tracks and sets you can buy from them.Currently priced at just under £42 at time of review is a fair price for this in my opinion and this IS authentic Disney product.It's good quality and provides lots of fun for kids and ahermmm me too lol.

This arrives in a brightly coloured Disney Pixar Cars branded box measuring approx 35cm x 30.5cm x 9.5cm.The box would be easy to wrap if you are careful about the top, which has a ledge cut out with the two glow racing cars in plastic sat there so they can be seen before you open it.Setting this up the first time will take a while as there is an entire sheet of stickers to add & it doesn't really come back apart completely once you've built it.There is a really clear set of instructions with pictures to help you assemble it & know how to swap from one style of track to the other, but it's very straightforward.You can either have the 2 diverters set so the cars race straight down the track, or move them so the cars go up the side tracks, jump over & land on the opposite track before going through the finish line.Whichever car gets there first, the big plastic flag falls down on that side - you need to reset it each time by just lifting it back up.The cars don't really light up, but the coloured parts of the track look brilliant in the dark.This stuff isn't like the old fashioned glow in the dark things, where you left them all day on the windowsill to get to glow.The instructions say to leave the track out of direct sunlight (about 5 feet away from light source like a window or whatever) for 30 seconds for best results.It works, although the glow doesn't last all that long (but won't last longer trying to put it in more light)This can be played with by one or two people.There are 2 separate levers (the look like car pedals), one for each car, but they are right beside each other so one kid could fire off 2 cars using one hand for each, or 2 kids have one car each.There are more sets in this series, so if you have those or similar sized cars, they can use the track too.It's great fun.Cars fans will love this.
