About Cars
Easy builds for young racers
Juniors sets were meant to bridge the gap between DUPLO and standard sets. They use larger base elements and short building steps, so a child can finish a car quickly and start playing. The Cars sets follow that pattern closely, which is why piece counts stay low: the smallest, Lightning McQueen Speed Launcher (10730-1), has 47 pieces.
From Radiator Springs to the Florida 500
The range ties in with Cars 3, released in 2017. At the top sits Florida 500 Race Final (10745-1) with 266 pieces, followed by Thunder Hollow Crazy 8 Race (10744-1, 191 pieces) and Smokey's Garage (10743-1, 124 pieces). Willy's Butte Speed Training (10742-1, 95 pieces) and Cruz Ramirez Race Simulator (10731-1, 59 pieces) focus on training scenes, while Guido and Luigi's Pit Stop (10732-1, 75 pieces) and Mater's Junkyard (10733-1, 62 pieces) bring in familiar characters from Radiator Springs.
Buying second-hand
Sets for young children tend to get mixed together over time. If you pick one up used, its parts list shows exactly which pieces should be in the box.
