He's gone through all the boys toys in the past few years, micro-scalextric, trainsets, remote control cars and they have all lasted for a few months before they are either trashed or forgotten about.

He's now back to scalextric, surprisingly, because his mate has re-discovered his old track and is playing with it again. I just know that this fad will last until February and it'll be another box to put into the loft, so I'm a bit reluctant to go out and splash out hundereds on new track.

So, basically, does anyone have any old scalextric lying around I could buy off them? Doesn't have to be boxed or anything.

Cheers

Have you tried the various model shops around town... (ok it was a long time ago now, but) I remember when i got my first scalextric that my dad bought me a small kit from the shops, but then got huge boxes of second hand track from a model shop for next to nowt.

If you'd asked about 2 weeks ago I'd have sold you a practically brand new Superbikes scalextric set dirt cheap

Byff,

We have a 12 month old X3 set which is still in it's box. We were about to take it to the recycling centre because it is was much bigger than we expected. It was used once so should be mint, with the exception I believe that there is a ting bridge support missing.

It is still a current set with a retail of about £95. Would be good if it could go to a good home.
