Some nice cars in there - and probably at least something for everyone.
I especially like the Jags - Morse and Hawthorn... Plus two exceedingly nice Porsches. The one I will almost certainly buy is the Golf, but I am waiting with baited breathe for some racing liveries on the AMC Hornet. Didn't see that coming at all.
However, I'm still not convinced by releasing the range in small chunks. I knew there was a release announcement today, but could work up much enthusiasm... There are too many other things going on - UKSF this weekend, the start of decent weather and so outdoor hobbies, lots of real motorsport etc etc - that it wasn't a priority, especially with only a handful of cars expected. Contrast that to the near-hysterical excitement of a full range release in the dark and miserable days of early January - it is the only show in town.
These cars are the summer/autumn releases by the look of the website listings... there'll be a further announcement of the winter releases, but presumably that will be in January? Or maybe a few pre-Christmas?
As for the Scalextric Club being axed... I know it doesn't do the best business - and the team would like to make cars for everyone to buy - but by the upset overnight, I think it's a bit of an own-goal.
