Comments about Lillian Vernon Micro Rally Race Cars with Case:

I bought this for a 3rd birthday gift. Not only did he love the personalized case, but he LOVES the cars. I bought his older brother the Lilian Vernon case of motorcycles several years ago... and according to their mom, the rally cars are more durable. I highly recommend this toy if you have a boy that likes cars! I love giving the gift that is the biggest hit of the party!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Micro Rally Race Cars with Case:

I bought this for my 3 year old son as a Christmas gift. The cars look great, but the bag was so much smaller than expected. As other people have mentioned, I just didn't read the reviews before I bought it. The cars barely fit. The personalization on the bag looks good though. Maybe the compact bag will come in handy.

Great Gift

Yes

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Micro Rally Race Cars with Case:

My son received this package as a gift when he was less than 1 yr-- it has been a great toy-- the cars are really cute and go pretty far too!! the case is small enough to fit in my diaper bag and that's where it is most of the time. That way we always have something to occupy him when we're out. And when I pull them out it's like a new toy, he gets all excited every time. I read other reviews about the cars not fitting well in the case-- ours fit just fine. It's a great gift and lots of fun to play with -- even for the biggest kid (my husband)!!

very poor quality

By lynn

from Seattle, WA on 10/6/2008

Cons:

Flimsy, Poor Construction

Describe Yourself:

Parent Of Two Or More Children

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Micro Rally Race Cars with Case:

I pulled this out of the box and thought-cute. I started to take the cars out of the packaging and thought 'yuck, what cheap and flimsy quality-probably filled with lead-and then car number three dropped a tire off into my hand. I ordered it as a gift but would be embarrassed to give it even if it hadn't started to fall apart. I will be sending the whole set back for a refund.

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Micro Rally Race Cars with Case:

I bought this for my son last Christmas. Almost a year later, this is still his favorite toy. He loves the variety of cars and I’m actually a fan of the small case size – it is so easy for him to carry around and he has no issues loading all the cars back into the case. He loves it so much that I’m getting each of my nephews one for their Christmas gifts this year.

Nice...

By IVF Miracles Mom

from Williamsburg, VA on 11/27/2007

Pros:

Great Variety

Cons:

Carrying Case Too Small

Best Uses:

On The Go Toy

Describe Yourself:

Parent of Two or More Children, Working Parent

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Micro Rally Race Cars with Case:

I was really excited when I ordered this gift for my friend's 3 year old son. I was very disappointed in the carrying case but the variety of cars/truck/motorcyles is fabulous! It wasn't easy for me to fit all the vehicles in the case so I know it will be nearly impossible for a 3 year old to do it by himself. I do think it will make a great toy for him to bring along when we all go out to dinner since it is so compact but I wish the case had been a bit bigger.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Micro Rally Race Cars with Case:

I bought 2 of these as christmas gifts for my nephews so I havent checked to see how the product works but the bag is smaller than I expected (although they do give the sizes in the product description, I just didnt use my ruler to check).

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Micro Rally Race Cars with Case:

My son loves both the case and the cars. They work well and easily. My only issue was with some of the wheels falling off. It's no big deal to pop them back on if they don't get lost, but I'd be concerned if there were smaller kids around with a tendency to put things in their mouths.

I bought two of these sets for my little nephews. The personalization made them feel special. Also, the price is right and the quality of the cars is very good. They were both delighted by the fact the cars can move by themselves by pulling them back and letting them go. Easy to pack and go. A great set to take with them anywhere. Well worth the money!

Not what I thought

Pros:

Durable, Easy to Control

Best Uses:

Young Children

Describe Yourself:

Education Oriented, Working Parent

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Micro Rally Race Cars with Case:

The bag and cars were a lot smaller than I thought they would be (I should have looked at the dimensions closer). My son, who is 5, played with this set for about a week and never picked it up again. I don't think it's worth [$]. We ended up taking the cars out and using the small case for something else.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Micro Rally Race Cars with Case:

The case is smaller than I thought... it's about 3" x 6" but the personalization was very professional. The little cars and vehicles are cute but don't seem well made. As a matter of fact, the wheel on one of the cars came off as I unpacked them. It is very nice that they can be taken on a trip or to a restaurant.

Great boy toy.We got this for our grandson's 2nd b-day a year ago. He will not go anywhere without his car bag. Certainly we've lost some of the cars & had to replace them, but the bag is so portable he can take it in the car, to the library, church or when he's outside playing with his friends. It's great
