How many cars extra should you have for this? Is it worth it to buy the large pack of 8 extra cars or is the 3 pack enough??

We are working on the whole collection, but my son plays the most with Lightning McQueen, Chick Hicks, and Strip Weathers - the main three from the first movie. If you start with a few, its really fun to give more as little surprises down the road - stocking stuffers!

Go with the 8 pack. They are very small and it's always good to have extras if they get lost.

My three and four year old grandsons like to put as many as they can get on the track. It appears more than four or five, they tend to "stick" in the chute but the boys don't seem to care. They have ten micro cars.

My grandkids love this. I had initially bought the set with the car ejector with only 2 cars When I bought this I got the 8. It was well spent at our house!! Have fun.

We have over 40 cars and most of them do work (most were received when this track was received, but my son had about 10 cars prior to that). Even the cars that say "great for track" will fall off or may not completely go through the loop. The "Triple Track Twister" cars have what looks to be a plastic bottom so it makes them lighter. However, I think the only cars we haven't been able to work on any of the sets we have are the long, heavy cars and for some reason a convertible. Other than that most work well.

There were definitely 5 different cars in there, I think the "shell racer vehicle" is special, so there's only 1 of them per set.

You're welcome. I actually got him both sets. All 4 hook together and all the guys fit in the cars.

Yes! 2 cars, I got this for my 1 year old and all 3 of my kids play with it still! Their ages are 6, 4 and 2 :) Great toy!

Yes. And I'm going to give you more information, perhaps more than you want. You have lots of flexibility for making the layouts. There are several layout ideas that are included in the package. I chose to create a two-lane layout, not four-lane. I built an 4X8 table dedicated to the layout. My layout has an eight-foot straightaway, and at least eleven turns in a grand prix layout. There are three more four-foot straightaways and one 135-degree turn, several 90-degree turns, and some 45-degree turns. I used all the track pieces, except for two or three, maybe. It's still a great layout more than four years after I built it. The cars are fabulous, worth the price of the set almost by themselves. By the way, I paid only about $150 for this set. You should be able to find it or something like it for under $200.

Don't know, we ended up having fewer people than expected and only needed to open the 12-player box. But I strongly suspect they overlap. In the 12 there were two packages of cards, one of which was marked "extra" or "bonus" or something like that, so I'm guessing the other, bigger pack is common to the 8 and the 12. We bought the second game so we would have enough of the pads for everyone.

The simple answer is...."you don't!" We found you can fit up to 3 small cars in the big slots but we don't like overlapping them either.

One comes with the toy and is good. My boys have used most of their Hot Wheels cars on the toy and some work better than other. It is simply trial and error in that regard. Hope that helps you.

You can add as much as you want. Just make sure you get EZ track in N scale. I also bought a six pack of straight track on Amazon with this set.

We have not used it yet as it is a Christmas gift!! But I would definitely recommend this set, and buy a set of extra cars for later! As the little ones are hard on them!!

Yes, I agree. My three yo uses the Disney cars all the time and is untroubled that they might not be optimal. He loves this garage. BTW, don't throw away the directions - he also likes to take it apart regularly.

On average I get about 5 complete cars per pad. Sometimes more, sometimes less depending on how aggressive I need to be.

The individual cars do not come with the track... we already have a large track setup and just wanted some extra cars...

I'd check ebay for extra tracks. There's one auction up there currently for about $18...another is asking $25, which is probably a huge ripoff, but keep checking, from time to time. Also, PM the person setting up the auction, they might be willing to put it up at a different price if it doesn't sell the first time. Amazon also sells straight LEGO train tracks, so that might be your best bet. $20 and done.

Btw, I'm buying one a month, as I can afford them, so as to have one and at least one spare for each chair and the car. Depending on how many seats you want to protect, that could add up. Might explain the ten that someone bought.

All you need is the "engines". I purchased the largest ones. A 4 pack. Don't remember how much I paid for them. But it wasn't much, about $10 I think.
