I also got the Ferarri DVD which I thought is also really good.
None of these are hard if you follow the tutorial step by step. They talk you through it as they're working and gives us some good tips. It takes a log of time of course, but it's well worth the time to practice. user added image

If you are new to Maya I would try and get all the free ones just to get you use to the interface and the basics of doing modelling and the like before you spend money on some of the advance things.

Just my suggestion.
