Matel Disney CARS: Micro Drifter Super Speedway Tokyo Playset
“CollectorMom” sends us some great pics as the early proud opener of the Micro Drifter’s Tokyo Playset (Super Speedway Playset) (available at Amazon).
You load the Micro Drifter CARS into the Pit Launcher, press the lever and off they go.
Looks like it could be fun … though it will be much more fun when singles actually get released.
The back of the box …
CollectorMom notes: “The most notable change is the fact that the playset is blue and gray, with no brown as shown on the box. Not a big deal really but the brown looks cooler, like you’re Car is drifting on dirt.”
Of course with only one vehicle on the market, you can’t do much racing, perhaps just some comparison pics …
Comparison to a MINI ADVENTURE Lightning … the decals are actually more detailed which is nice … but they are tiny …
And it’s method of propulsion …
(along with gravity – free with every purchase!)
More size comparison pics here.
Thanks for the great pics, “CollectorMom!”

I did not find this at my TRU so, I decided to buy it at TRU.com along with the three pack of gold mcqueen,holly,and acer.
Tempting. Very Tempting.
Alright thanks to this post I WILL start collecting Micro Drifters after all!
Three-packs are AT my TRU in Jacksonville, Florida…more info in my comments on yesterday’s size-comparison post!
How sturdy is the track collectormom (like do the parts easily come apart, do the support bars for the track higher off ground stay in place, etc) ? The reason I ask is because i have bought similar playsets before for my son (Chuggington, hot wheels) and they didn’t stay together very well resulting in my son becoming frustrated (he’s a smaller child) so I just trashed them and since this is one of the items at the top of my list to get him for Christmas I thought I would ask. Thanks!
This does look like a lot of fun but very flimsy. Would appreciate knowing…
The construction of it is not too bad. It has 5 support legs, the legs each click into a “foot” that rotates so you can make sure you have it set at the right angle. I found the directions to be slightly confusing, it was easier to just look at the picture of it to see how it goes together. All the pieces click together so you know you have it right (they’re also labeled). There are 2 cardboard crowd scenes and a few stickers that you need to apply. With having only 1 Car so far its kind of hard to tell how it will hold up but I will say that the base of it (where you put the Cars on it and “park” them) is sturdy. The track part is where the Cars whip around so you don’t really handle that part of the toy while you’re playing with it. My 5 year old carried it assembled up stairs and had no problem putting it down and playing with it again (it didn’t come apart at all when he carried it).
Hope that helps!
Thanks! The three-pack I got my nephew (along with the Mack) has been a huge hit with my nephew…thinking he needs the track too!
Thank you so much for replying, i think im going to go ahead and get it for Christmas. I feel much better knowing it made it up the stairs in one piece. You could not even pick up some of the other track sets we have purchased in the past so this is a big plus!
Three of the first four Micro Drifters three packs are now available for online order at Toys R Us, plus Mack:

Some folks are finding them on TRU shelves too.
Heads up to Texas buyers on Amazon purchases. As of today Amazon
must charge Texas sales tax on purchases.

Wow I think I might get one for myself!
And yes, they goofed big-time on the missing brown part, and the first Amazon review already blasted it for only including 1 car when Amazon’s own description indicates that it includes 2 cars.
John that’s my husbands review. He ordered it for me (he has Amazon Prime) and was annoyed to see 1 son playing with it and the other son just sitting there watching. I’m assuming Amazon listed it as having 2 Cars because Mattel’s description says it has 2 Cars, but still clearly wrong. He complained to Amazon as well.
