With you brian, and didnt want to sound harsh but i have like you waited all year and sat excited, and im 60 . Anglia is very good ,as are the repaints but the golfs being made . Scalextric will certainly be cheaper than avant slot, its just an unexciting launch, and ultimately Scalextric is a business and needs revenue to continue. .Poor launch and if we collectors and racers dont say so they will never know. Now the dam wait for the rest..18 months?
