I jumped on that Slot.it Porsche last night because I have a feeling they might blow out. I remember losing out on the Fly version years ago, and it is my favorite livery of that car.

You always have liked the GT Indestructible, and I held back, only getting the LMP-ish version. I wonder if these will be in 2 packs?

[HomeRacingWorld]

No, these are just singles sir. I need a couple more as the ones I tuned are now at RazorJon's. My grandkids need toys too.

Wow, it is great to see some new colors and liveries on that generic GT car. I think they are some of the best "bang for the buck" slot cars on the market. My slot.it money will be going for the Minolta Toyota when it arrives. My favorite livery of that car. I hope that with the release of the Ferrari 312PB from Policar the F40 won't be far behind it.

Can some one tell me the marketing logic in Maurizio buying the policar "name" and I gather releasing what is essentially a slotit under that name? Is it just nostalgia since he grew up with that brand or is it something a lot deeper? Bob please dont call them Ferrari 312PBs, you'll get Maurizio in trouble, they are just 312PBs. :naughty: :D ;)

I was told Nostalgia was a lot to do with it.

Wow Harry you got the quickest keyboard in the west. I hadnt even finished re-editing my post......

I looked, and it looks like Scaley is still offering the 2 pack of the original GT cars for a while, so I can get two of these new ones and the original 2 pack and save about $15, plus or minus. Now I need to find one of those 2 packs of the LMP cars to paint, and there will be two sets of guest cars. The other guest cars I had just for guests can just go back into the mix with everything else.

I have been waiting for these cars to make it here - Good to see that they have been announced.

On another note - has the white VW van been seen yet?

I need the Slot It. Minolta Toyota as I have all the others, may as well keep up the liveries in this series. :)

[Dangermouse]

I have been waiting for the Minolta Toyota as well - I still have my AFX one from when I was 12

I had the Minolta one in Tomy AFX as well and always loved that car.

I am THRILLED that Scalextric is doing more GTs - at that price they are tough to beat and the kids can beat on them all day long.
