This was the must-have toy that my four-year-old had to have for Christmas 2007; well it was the toy I had most difficulty acquiring for Christmas. I eventually sourced the toy and purchased for around the £35.00 mark.
The product comes as a large truck, called Mack from the Cars Disney ... ...3 different playsets, Radiator Springs, Route 66, and Dirt Track.
Included with Mack there are 3 other character toys from the movie including a miniature Lightning McQueen, the hero of the movie, Mater and Bessie. There is a car launcher to launch McQueen, also there are a few pieces of scenery which can be attached to the playsets.

The product comes as a large truck, called Mack from the Cars Disney movie. Basically it is a large playset which transforms into 3 different playsets, Radiator Springs, Route 66, and Dirt Track.
Included with Mack there are 3 other character toys from the movie including a miniature Lightning McQueen, the hero of the movie, Mater and Bessie. There is a car launcher to launch McQueen, also there are a few pieces of scenery which can be attached to the playsets.
The truck itself is quite long, measures approx. 65cm. It can be used as a large vehicle to play with, it moves and has a horn that can be pressed. The main body of the truck folds out to form the playsets, the cars can race around these sets.
It is now March 2008 and my son continues to plat with Mack, so this in itself makes it a worthwhile purchase. He does find it a bit fiddly but enjoys playing with it in his own way, therefore using his imagination.
I do think it is overpriced for what it contains, but it has provided hours of enjoyment for my son, and subsequently allowed me to do other things while he is amused.

Review of Mattel Disney Cars Transforming Mega Mack Playtown
Thunderbird 2 says 5 phrases but the other vehicles only say 3 phrases, the vehicles phrases are spoken by their pilot
The batteries don't last very long, the vehicles are made of plastic so they may break easily in small childrens hands, the lever used to release the pod sometimes jams (*)
