This review is from: Cars Movie Moments Luigi, Guido & Tractor (Toy)
I am a computer animator working in the industry and I love collectors' toys based on animated movies such as these. This series of toys is by far the most enjoyable that I have come across. Usually I just get one or two of my favorite characters from a certain movie series, but I intend to collect every single one of these CARS. They will look great displayed in the studio that I work at. The detail of each car is outstanding and the quality is great. I don't have to worry that they will fall apart every time someone wants to pick them up and admire them!
The only thing that I will not do is pay these outrageous prices that I have come across on Amazon. Funny thing, usually I turn to Amazon to save money over retail stores but in this case I was greatly disappointed! I expect this sort of price gouging on that other site where people auction stuff, but not here! These toys are not that hard to find. In the last week and a half I have been able to collect almost every single character. Just today I bought this very set (Luigi, Guido and Tractor) at Toys R Us for $7.99. I have paid as little as $2.99 for most characters and no more than $3.59 for a few newer ones. All the "Movie Moments" (multiple toy sets) have cost me $7.99 or less. The only characters that I need to complete my collection are DJ, RPM, and Yeti. Like I said, I have managed to get my hands on almost every single one of these toys in less than two weeks. I may have had to shop several stores (Target, Wal-mart, Toys R Us) but at least I didn't get robbed by these online bandits. Cool thing is that I still have the shops at Down Town Disney to hit up so I expect that I will be able to complete my collection pretty soon! Be patient, check your retailers regularly, they are not that hard to find and well worth a little searching.

This review is from: Cars Movie Moments Luigi, Guido & Tractor (Toy)
I got this for the tractor in the set, because my 3 year old especially loves the tractor tipping part in the movie. I'm not really sure its worth the money I paid for it, the cars are very small, but my son plays everyday with them and so far, they haven't broken or anything.

This review is from: Cars Movie Moments Luigi, Guido & Tractor (Toy)
Read my review from 2010 before getting too worked up about the price gouging. Most of the other reviews were written back in 2007 when the toys were much more prevalent. The manufacturer has stopped making these cars, and collectors have bought them all and are now naming their price to desperate parents. Not a bad scheme for them, but too bad for us parents. I agree, the prices are ridiculous -- but you won't find better ones anywhere else. You just have to decide whether you're willing to spend the money or not.
That said, I'm hoping the $28 I spent on this set is worth it. So far everything seems to be fine. I've read that Guido's forklift parts break but so far we haven't had that problem. My kids are enjoying them a lot. I will say that these cars are much smaller than I expected. We specifically checked for the 1:55 scale before we bought them. My husband assures me that the size is to scale, so I'll believe him. But if there are any spatially challenged people out there, be prepared to be disappointed in their size. Guido is just a little over an inch long. He's about the size of a peach pit. Luigi is only a little bigger -- about the size of a ping pong ball. The tractor is about the same size as a 1:55 scale die-cast Lightning McQueen, which I'm having a hard time believing is really accurate -- weren't the tractors bigger in the movie? I guess not. So, to sum up -- the toys are good, solid, fun, and so far, haven't broken. They are very small but supposedly that's the way they're supposed to be. I would recommend them if you're willing to spend beaucoup bucks.
