    Tires don't roll when tightened down.

    The genius who designed it made it in such a way that when you tighten down the screws holding the wheels on THEY DON'T TURN! Or when a toddler puts them on they come loose as they try to roll it. The white walls are basically hub caps, what a poece of junk.

    pretty fun toy

    For any McQueen lover this is a fun toy that allows the toddler to practice using tools. Screws work great but my only small complaint is the wheels are stiff if you tighten the screw all the way. My kid likes to push the car after assembling and that does bother him. But if I screw it looser the wheels can fall off. But overall it's still a fun toy.

    Disappointed!

    We are so disappointed with this car because once put together, it does not roll. It only takes a couple minutes to put it together, but then can only look at it which is boring for a toddler.

    Waaaay overpriced

    Utterly overpriced, considering experience with the toy. Regular (99 cent store) quality. Stickers on the car are mismatched.

    The wheels DO work!

    So we bought this for our son for Easter and while I was waiting to pick it up I browsed through the reviews which left me a little discouraged that it wouldn’t work like we hoped it would.. well! First off, if you have a toddler boy who loves taking apart, putting together and fixing things, has broken cars before from playing rough with them + loves Lightning McQueen.. GET THIS. Our son absolutely ENJOYS this toy! When he got it altogether with the help of daddy he immediately began rolling the car around and to my surprise IT DOES ROLL! I’m not sure why there’s so many reviews saying it doesn’t unless they are tightening the wheels way too tight. We let our son tighten them himself which isn’t near how tight we would have done it but that’s not the point of the toy. If a wheel fell off our son was happy to grab his tools and put it back together, he can now do it on his own taking apart and customizing him. He loves being able to use the tools himself! I am a happy mom! I hope this review helps! God bless!!

    Missing all parts and instructions!

    The specific box I picked up from my local Target for my son’s birthday. I guess I need to inspect boxes now upon pick-up because quality control sucks. The box turned out to be open and all the parts & instructions were missing. All we received was the car body with missing no wheels. This box should not have been in inventory.

    Fake wheels

    Wheels don’t turn which was a huge turn off for my kids. We have a similar airplane that you assembly and that is much better quality than this one - plus the wheels spin!

    it is probably a great toy. the box was literally beaten to death and ripped open. if it had not been in a bag, it would have been trash. Your shipping is the worst out of ALL companies and I will NOT be shipping anything else. That was a birthday present and it was very, very embarrasing!
