Got this to build with kiddo who is can do 6+ builds on his own. Couldn't get past the start of bag 3. This broke so many times, and frustrated us both. Poor quality, unstable, stickers look off, connections poor, etc. Strong pass on this one. I had to take a few time outs just because I was getting frustrated.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We’re sorry you’re having trouble keeping your set together! If the build doesn’t seem very sturdy, we recommend double-checking the steps to make sure each piece is in the right spot and pressing all the pieces firmly together. Sometimes even a piece that’s slightly out of place can affect the stability of the whole build. If you’re still having trouble, give us a shout at LEGO.com/service and we’ll be happy to help troubleshoot!
My son is 5 and this was his first independent Lego build. The app with animated instructions definitely makes it easier for kids to build by themselves. Although this is listed as a 9+ build he was able to do about 90% of it without any help. Now we just need Mater to match!
We Love CARS! Easy to follow directions. Perfect addition to our collection, plus my granddaughter loves to play with it as well. Other than one missing red piece the kit was excellent. Was able to improvise with the spare parts in the set.
Very amazing set, super fun having it under the speed champions line. Only complaint is there is a lot of stickers, although the stickers are fitting considering his nickname in the movies being “stickers”
