Now, we have four different scales. The one that used to be the most important in USA (HO) 1/64 with companies as Auto World, 1/32 the most popular in Europe and the one with more cars and sets (and companies like SCX, Scalextric, Ninco or Carrera), the 1/24 with huge cars and tracks (Carrera) and the affordable and every time more competitive 1/43 one (with Jiada, Artin, SCX - Compact and Carrera - Go). And now, the company, that maybe is the one with the best quality, Ninco announces a new scale and a new brand, the scale, a surprising 1/28 (not 1/24, maybe they do not want to share anything with Carrera or make the life easier to the fan) and the name Xlot (I suppose from XL or extra large). You can find more information in their official homepage http://www.ninco.com/ . Surprising move when its Spanish rival, SCX had moved to 1/43. Do you think it is an intelligent move, will they succeed? At least there are many things moving in the slot world...But the new scale is only for cars, it means you will be able to use it in your "1/32" Ninco track... The first ones in the second quarter of 2009 and they will be the Ferrari 340 and the Porsche 997. Price, less than 100 Euros...

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 t...
