2.0 out of 5 stars Hot Wheels, they're not!, March 2, 2007

By	Dan Finney "danfinney.com" (Indianapolis, IN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Good as collectables, not so good as actual toys that you play with.

My daugter has broken the hook off of Mater (bought her a new one), broken the wheel off of Dynaco McQueen, and broken the front axle off of the tractor. Mater's tow equipment is made with a softer cheaper plastic than the rest of the toy, and I expect the new one to break any day now.

Without being too sexist, I want to point out that my 4 year old daughter is probably more gentle on them than the average boy playing with them. They have never entered a sandbox. They have not been stood on, nor thrown, nor been monster-trucked by a bicycle.

While I will still probably buy more, as my daughter loves the Cars movie and wants to own them all, (including Frank, which they do not make) I would say to all: buyer beware!

2.0 out of 5 stars Fragile--not good for a toy , February 25, 2009

By	B. Hill (Minnetonka, MN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 

Our son loves Mater so I bought two of these after reading the reviews. Within two days both had lost a wheel and the teeth detached from one of them. The side mirrors and hook are flimsy plastic and will probably break soon too. They had been knocked off a coffee table, or dropped accidentally, but every other kid toy seems to be built with this eventuality in mind and holds up. I would not recommend this toy for a child that is in any way rough on toys. I only hope the super glue holds them together long enough for him to move on to something else.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Cars Fanatics!!, February 25, 2007

By	Amy Stephens (Fyffe, AL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My 2 year old boy just loved the movie Cars, and he also loves Hot Wheels, and when I saw these I knew he had to have them!!
They're not actually hot wheels, but about the same size.
He adores them, and plays with them every day. I would love to get him all of the cars in the set.
He is also very rough with his toys, and they are in great shape.
