Like CMOTD, I don't collect sets, but I do buy them occasionally. I bought this one last week...
Okay, so it's a My First Scalextric set - why on earth did I buy it? And it wasn't £2 from a boot fair either, it was full price from the Scalextric website...
Believe it or not, it is a piece of HO slot car history - the first set that includes the brand new Micro Scalextric track system with flat rails and much-improved track, chassis and controllers. The Scalextric team have spent the past couple of years overseeing a complete re-vamp of their 1/64 scale brand and I think they've done a fabulous job. I've written a bit about it on SlotRacer Online here, but I should really do a proper review of the new set - especially with more Warner Brothers sets and individual cars expected over the next few months.
