Fast, Exciting Play
Fans of the film, and all its fun, friendly characters, will remember Mack as the friend of Lightning McQueen -- the hot shot racing rookie -- whose image is on the side of the trailer. Not only is the adorable red semi truck transportation for McQueen, Mack is also a "bachelor pad" for the racecar with seven different play features, including a weight machine, car lift for repairs, game station, and more. A great place to cool down after a day of racing, the blue pad is a hang-out area, or -- with the push of the yellow/gray button -- a rocking "dance" lounger for McQueen. The vehicle also has a TV set, an opening fridge for a drink of oil or water, and a car wash with a sink, toothbrush and mirror.
Each character in the Mattel Pixar Cars set is beautifully detailed and blister packaged replica, designed in 1:55 scale die-cast. Measuring 14 inches long and 5 inches tall, the Mack Truck playset is also built with durable hard plastic that stands up to the play of young children. The Lightning McQueen figure is sold separately.
 The Mack truck playset allows kids to bring their imagination to life. |

Great addition for the Cars fan!
We had bought this for our 4yo for Christmas after seeing how much enjoyed it at his friends place. The toy is basic, I mean Lightning McQueen pretty much lives in Mack while he is on the road, so there are 3 sections...the bathroom area (shower and sink), the living room with tv and video games, and the kitchen with his fridge and stuff heneeds to run. Mack is basically Lightning McQueen's home. So if you buy this keep that in mind...it is his home!
Now for the problems. Yes, the shower peices do pop off and they can be popped back on. So we did the quick fix...a drop of superglue and they stay put, and it doesn't affect the way it closes either. The other problem is for the price they could have added the $3 Lightning McQueen car to Mack, because McQueen is part of Mack, and kids pretty much expect McQueen to be there.
This toy also has a double feature which I really do appreciate. Not only is it a playset, but it is also Mack. My son keeps the set closed so it is Mack Truck and he takes his Lightning McQueen and has the 2 talk and ride around together, so it is almost like getting 2 toys in one.
Also, buy it when it is on sale, like we did! IMO, $20 is a bit much for this item. For $20 you can get a bigger more exciting playset, like the Matchbox pop-ups.
