My son loves this toy (he's [...]), it allows McQueen to do many activities inside Mack. It is thin plastic though and seems like it would break easily if it fell or was thrown. As it is, sometimes when he plays it, pieces come off easily-though they pop back on quickly. If you have infants at home, I would steer clear of this toy for that reason. If it were a little sturdier, I would have given it 5 stars.

I bought this for my son before the movie came out and a bunch of the characters, too. This truck has some small pieces that could break if the child is not careful. I prefer the other Mack Truck that's available. The one that comes with Doc and Sally. It's preferable because of that fact that there are not a lot of pieces that could get broken, you just tote the cars around inside. I have an almost 3 year old and he breaks things, but it is his toy and if it breaks, it breaks. No real harm done. He loves it. Loves playing with Lightning McQueen inside. Worth it for the play value.
Another reviewer complained that she couldn't find the other little cars at any store. It is very hard to find the characters now. Since the movie release there have been sales at stores and a major rush on the toys. There was a rush on the toys even before the movie came out. Parents and collectors alike, are buying these toys. Ebay is proof that people are willing to shell out the cash for some of the harder ones to find. I believe the characters will be easier to find as time goes on. At least I hope so for my sake. I would like to buy the complete set for my son.

As a maniac mom, I bought the complete set of little cars more than 2 months before the movie opened, and thank goodness I did because they are impossible to find now unless you are willing to pay a ridiculous premium. I think that for the price, it is a bit of a rip-off that it doesn't come with a Lightning McQueen, especially since that is the whole appeal of the truck. You also have to read the box carefully to know that there is no McQueen included. I like that the truck comes apart and reattaches to the cab easily, so that my 4-year-old doesn't have to ask me 20 times a day to do it. I do think that some of the features are dramatically overstated (come on, a "game station" ?!?), but the kid really digs it.

My son [...] picked this toy out himself with his $20 gift certificate. He's been playing with it non stop! I think it's great! Inside the truck, there are different sections: car wash, kitchen w/ water & oil, dancefloor (you'll have to see it)--overall--very cute! Some of the little parts inside seem somewhat fragile to me but as long as you tell your child to be a little gentle with them, it should be fine. If you're looking for a durable (takes a licking but keeps on ticking type) toy, I don't recommend it. But if you have a long car/plane ride or a child who likes little toys & parts (lego/lincoln logs type), I think it's great.

I have a pretty huge CARS fan and he really loves this Mack truck. He plays with him a lot. The only thing is some of the smaller parts inside of Mack have fallen off or broke. I think they should have taken in consideration that it would be played with by little boys. It still seems to make my little guy very happy. If you have a Disney Cars fan this will be a must have!

I bookmarked this item to purchase in December. My son's birthday is a week after Christmas. I am DISMAYED to come back to this page and see that a simple little plastic (a little junky!?) toy has changed in price from under $15 to almost $100!!!. The Note that Amazon gave me was that this toy was no longer available from the original offering company. I wouldn't consider paying that much for a toy that won't last. Read the comments below and see for yourself if the toy will last. I'm very disappointed.

My 2.5 year old loves his Mack! As others have mentioned, it does have small little parts that always need snapped back in and eventually break. They would be choking hazards if little ones are around. It is also very hard for him to open with no notch or knob to pull. He drops or throws Mack to get him to pop open. So, poorly designed, but still a favorite. If they improve the design, we'll buy another!

My son got this as a gift and he loves it. However after having it for 3 weeks, both of the little shower bars are bent almost to the point of breaking. Hopefully they will remake this toy, so that you have a little more room to open/close, and make the showers a little more durable. But all in all my son loves it, so if you have a cars fanatic in your home it may be worth it. But, catch it on sale!!!!!!!!!!!

My six year old nephew has all of the CARS cars and wanted a "real" looking Mack truck. He is thrilled with all the features of the Bachelor playset. He even sleeps with it! I think the toy is well-made and sturdy enough for older children.

Got most of the Pixar 1:55 cars before the movie came out and hesitated on Mack because of the $[...]price tag. Finally picked it up and my 3 year old loves it. Mack adds some really nice play value. I removed one of the car wash arms so he would close easier. Mack comes off from the trailer easy and while I didn't think he'ld hold up he's proved me wrong by holding up well. Mack actually had some decent screen time in the movie and is voiced by Pixar fave voice talent John Ratzenberger and got some really nice laughs in during the movie credits so don't leave as soon as it ends!
