I bought a Micro set (007 No Time to Die) just as bit of fun to entertain the grand kids over Christmas (full disclosure: I am a 64 year male). I had a Jouef racing set as a boy and didn't realise how much I'd missed it until now. I understand the that the Micro was originally targeted at toddlers, but the form factor is perfect for all ages. I have bought, in rapid succession, multiple track extensions (from Amazon and eBay) and some more 'grown up' cars (Porsche. Maserati) from this store. Never used the original battery pack (ridiculous) - bought the mains adapter at the same time as the original set. Ok - Hornby. I know you have the larger, more 'sophisticated', tracks but you are missing a trick if you don't focus on the smaller form factor too. These sets are small enough to be maintained as permanent units around most homes. Expand the range of cars and improve the track (crossovers etc) and I think you will find that this becomes a very lucrative arm that also appeals to a wider Scalextric demographic.
