Best HO set for 2010





And here we are with the first set. In the favorite scale in the US, HO and of coursem it had to be from AFX Racing . This year my proposed set is this one: Super International Our Most Popular Set Gets Even Better!

You'll notice the new look of the box, sure, but the big news is the cars. Four cool new bodies with new liveries – all mounted on our newest, fastest, best handling Mega-G chassis.

No one can match the Mega-G for speed or fun. As for realism - just compare our Formula bodies to any other HO car, you'll see what we mean.

All of this just adds to the already fantastic value. With 86 pieces of track you can make at least 18 different layouts in 4 lane configuration! Of course you can design your own layouts too. You’ve got everything you need to build almost any kind of track in 2 or 4 lanes – all in one box.

Five different types of curved track and 4 different straights, two power packs and four controllers, 6 bridge sections, the list goes on and on. If you wanted to buy all the track, cars and accessories in this set separately, you could pay more than twice as much. That’s what we mean when we are talking about value.

And don’t forget, this is AFX, the highest quality best performing HO slot racing system you can buy anywhere. After all this is the brand that created the hobby and spent almost 60 years improving it. would you expect less? Quality, performance, innovation and value, that’s why AFX is the leader in HO.

This Spanish company would sell the Scalextric products in Spain and Portugal, manufacturing everything but the cars in Spain. After some time, even the cars would be done in Spain. Exin created soon their own line of models, being the first one the famous Seat 600 in 1966.

SCX, Scalextric in Spain

SCX, Scalextric in Spain has had a long history, and a lot of problems. Its beginnings, and the curiosity of the shared name with the British company Scalextric, Superslots in Spain, is explained in one of my first posts  Spanish Scalextric or SCX in the rest of the world . After Tecnitoys, the brand belonged to fabrica de juguetes  Fabrica de juguetes from 2012 to 2016. After many problems and keeping a toy line called WRC  WRC , the brand Scalextric/SCX belongs from 2017 to  Scale Competition Xtreme, SL. (SCX, SL.)   Scalextric . This new company has started focusing on the 1/43 line, will they work as a toy company or will they be back in the hobby field? Please share your thoughts. And Merry Christmas!
