Sweet! Thanks for the pics! Wow, Ultimate Mater looks great! All those brown and light-blue pieces! Definitely getting him. I'll also get the small $15 sets, just for the parts and characters. Flo's V8 Cafe is looking better than ever, so that's a must-buy too, even if $60 seems a little steep. It looks like if you park a car right in front of the cafe and hit the roof, the car gets launched.
And despite the <insert that tiresome argument> plane, I really like the spy jet set too. Those cars are just adorable! Maybe if it goes on sale...
The grand prix is absolute rubbish however. I was really hoping we'd get an actual race track, or at least part of it. This is just a big heap of <insert that tiresome argument> pieces with characters that you can already get in the cheapest sets, with the exception of one.
Overall, this theme is turning out great though! Who woulda thought a theme without any minifigs could be this good?
No, I agree. The 2x4 tiles stick out too much, and his overall shape could have been more accurate, but I guess that's what happens when you make molds with the motto "One shape fits all".
Really? Those have been around since 2003. And I don't think the pieces are all that <insert that tiresome argument>.
I hope we get Ramone and Doc Hudson at some point too, maybe with the Ultimate Mater and Francesco. Some sets based off of the "Cars-Toons" would be neat too.
