I am really surprised and a little shocked that these toys are being sold at such inflated prices on this website. Maybe I'm naive but I have been a customer of Amazon for many years and this really bothers me. I just purchased this item on Apple's website for $19.99 with free shipping. I already have three of these AppMates (Lightning McQueen, Mater and Finn McMissle) and my grandkids love them. I would have purchased them on Amazon but each time I checked the site before purchasing the only ones for sale were at ridiculously inflated prices. I purchased the single Lightning McQueen at Target for $12.99 and as I mentioned above the sets of two cars for $19.99 plus tax with no shipping charges.
Another tip for people interested in these toys: I ordered a screen protector for my Ipad 2 before getting the toys as I had read reviews saying the toys scratched their screen. Unfortunately, we could not get the toys to work when the protector was in place. We went ahead and played with them without a screen and have had no problem whatsoever with any scratches.
I don't review many products but felt compelled to inform other Amazon customers.

The listed price for these items are $19.99. See the Apple Store website. The toy doesn't always make good connection with the screen so I'm hoping the next set does a better job. My son otherwise likes the "paper" demo mode.

I gave these appmates to our very bright 2 1/2 year old granddaughter, so we could play with them with her when we visited in Texas. I would agree that she's a bit young for them, but the technology is still fun. The headlights light up, as a bright spot under the car is channeled up to the headlights, and the app knows how to place headlight beams on the ground right in front of the cars (Mater, who is missing one headlight, has only one beam), and roads and scenery move across the iPad screen. The app is very imaginative (and much of the items on the screen react to the cars), but the map involved is a bit limited, and could stretch out farther in all directions. One of the characters (Finn McMissile) is from CARS 2, and transporting him to Radiator Springs is a stretch. I have to wonder if all the available characters can interact with this locale, as I couldn't figure out how to get to Tokyo or the European racing circuit. Maybe, as promised, there will be more locations to come.
As for a "choaking hazard," I cannot see how even an adult could get one of these toys stuck in their throat.
Well worth the price, and Lightning McQueen and Holly are on their way to Texas to join the fun.

Never worked on my ipad
DONT BOTHER... just a gimmick. And the app is not even that fun either! If someone says they want this... redirect their desires!

So Cute
These cars are so cute and work excellently with the Cars 2 App. It is a wonderful addition to the app. They don't scratch the surface of the iPad. Read more
