If you enjoy Speed Racer, this is an essential part of the series to have as a die-hard regardless. However, most of the episodes are only one part episodes. They wrap up much too quickly. I say get the other volumes if you like the multi-part episode series. The two-part storylines are needed to make a good plot and development. There is only one two-part series on this DVD. And the collector's car isn't anything special to look at. It's just a neat little bonus to have I guess. If you want a better looking model car, Johnny Lightning brand is the ticket if you can fine one.
