Ultimate Build Lightning McQueen Reviews
FBTB
“Certainly not the worst model as that honor is reserved for Francesco. Ultimate Build Lightning McQueen isn't much better, but it at least feels like a better value for your money. Any fan of Lightning would enjoy it if you can get past the weird look. If you can pick it up... More on sale, go for it; it's a pretty good parts pack if you need a lot of red.”
Brickset
“This set is a true old fashioned brick building masterpiece. Compared to the smaller McQueen, this one is huge, but in scale favorably with the Ultimate Build Mater. The overall proportion is spot on, much like Mater, you can tell it's McQueen. Due to the printed parts... More being only the eyes and mouth, the fancy flame graphic is done with stickers...LOTS of them.”
