Toy Cars Released! What do you think?

Has anyone purchased this DLC yet?? Like I mentioned earlier, didn't really see the point as it'll be just the popular cars with different skins. But I could be wrong, so are these cars fun to have? What's it like online?

I also just noticed that the 2 packs cost £4.79 each but buying the two packs together in the saving bundle cost £9.99!! I know I'm not so good at maths but...... Was this done to catch people out or am I missing something here

Re: Toy Cars Released! What do you think?

First off regarding the price i payed £7.99 for all the toys, which does include the toy bike, pack 1 is 4 toy cars, pack 2 is another 4 toy cars and the full pack is all 8 cars and a bike.

Glad i did buy as it was mispriced on thursday

I think they are great fun and add to the game, i also think they are way over priced and its kinda worrying regard the price of the new island(recon £14.99). Hope im wrong as if its over £9.99 i wont be getting it.

I understand what you mean! I caved in myself especially when one guy completely terrorised me online with the toy 4x4 - and I just didn't stand a chance.

Have you tried doing marked man events in a toy car? Kinda weird actually as you can just coast through bouncing off the traffic and the takedown cars!!

Re: Toy Cars Released! What do you think?

How do you access the purchased toy cars? I bought and downloaded toy cars pack 2 and party and neither show up. How do I get them?

Re: Toy Cars Released! What do you think?

Might also be something to do with your game region. Do you by any chance have an eu game but bought the packs from the us/japan store or viceversa?
If so then that's your problem! The DLCs are region coded!!
