Best LEGO Juniors Disney Cars 3 Sets: Bring Lightning McQueen and Mater Home
I admit I am a big fan of Pixar movies, but who isn’t? With blockbuster hits like Toy Story, A Bugs Life, Monster, Inc., Up, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, and to test new grounds, Pixar came up with an interesting idea of doing a movie about vehicles and to be more exact, cars with eyes and mouths!
In 2006, Pixar Cars premiered and grossed over $60 million domestically on the opening weekend alone! In 2011, Cars 2 was released with great fanfares, and coming on June 16th, Cars 3 will hit the theaters, and accompanying with it – Lego is releasing mutilple Cars 3 sets in their Juniors and Duplo themes.
New for 2017, Cars 3 sets are now under Lego’s Junior theme. What does it mean? It means more special pieces, easier assembly, simplified building steps – less time to build and more time to play with it! As a result, the vehicles are lighter and roll faster, kind of like Hot Wheels/Matchbox toy cars.
As of this writing, there are seven Cars 3 Juniors sets:
