    Just a word of warning to anyone thinking of buying The Cars 2 transporter and car set from The Disney store it's a complete waste of money (£35) all the cars were broken within a week and the transporter was broken a week later.I complained and was sent a replacement set of cars which also broke within days.The lady from the Disney store said they knew about the problem but they don't seem to have done anything about it.
