mixed quality cars, too expensive September 28, 2008

Being a fan, I loved the Speed Racer movie and wanted all of the movie cars to run in our Hot Wheels Speed Racer Sky Jump Track Set (which is fantastic). This is a good "collector" set, but that's not why my kids and I wanted the set. Sadly, the cars don't all perform well. The Mach 4, 6 and Grey Ghost are the fastest. The Mach 5 does pretty well, too. But the Racer X Shooting Stars don't run well seemingly from wheel drag. Snake Oiler and the Royalton GRX are too heavy. Maybe it's deliberate so the hero wins even on the toy set. In addition, however, the wheel axles bend too easily (same problem as the Hot Wheels of my childhood :-) ) so that now the Mach 6 doesn't run well and the Shooting Stars barely crawl. :-( And where is the Togokhan car?
Overall, I'd be okay with this if it were half the price. But at this price, I'm expecting better quality.
