mtpanorama Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 Unfortunately I think the price increase is due to shipping costs rather than the cost of the cars so the other brands will probably increase their prices as well, I hope not but we will have to wait and see. 1 Quote Corporate greed is driving inflation.

gazza Posted January 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 Interesting to see how the little Cobras go, need something to fill the hole that the Ninco classics left. Probably over powered and need 5 or 6 magnets to keep them on the track. 1 Quote Quickly read this post before it is deleted or i turn grey again Gary http://www.facebook.com/Rallyproxy2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English St Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 There are some great possibilities for expanding the Blues Brothers world - 77 Dodge Royal Monaco in white Chicago Police colours, Fleetwood Southwind RV, Ford F250, Ford Pinto stationwagon... Looking forward to getting one! Might have to get two and run one without the air-raid siren! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangermouse Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 Looking forward to seeing some classic Aussie Mustangs - did someone say Norm Beechey, Pete and Leo Geoghagen, Bob Jane - Neptune Racing would be great first up as that would make a complete set given the Mini and Cortina has been done already....might be ripe for a re-issue of those 3 as a box set....http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GHL92al0Jf0/VCo7AMVCCEI/AAAAAAAAAPo/EqGgl8fn54s/s1600/NeptuneTeam600.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cobra is one that I have wanted for a while. I'm also curious to see how the Cobra will go.

dangermouse Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 I am thinking the Cobra will have the FF050 motor in it like the Torana, and we all know how that worked out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeGas Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) Personally the J.B. A.M. V8 is on my list, hoping the "skis" are not flexible and act like an outrigger on corners, or a flipper upperer for neighbouring competing cars Yes I know it was supposed to be 2021, but delayed to 2022 so hope it counts.

KarKraft Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 Some nice ones once again. The Brock one will be popular, and we haven't had a Supercar for a while. Not so sure about the Police car. The Moffat Falcon is nice if a little bit niche, and the Geoghegan car will be the best of this year's Mustang liveries. I'm surprised that this will mean there are no new Jaguar XJS models for this year. The Poms will be revolting... Quote Fairmont Park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manimmal Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 I hope they do a good job on the Torana. They did a great job on the a9x so fingers crossed. 1 Quote My mum says I'm an excellent driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will be tough it's a bit smaller than the other cars, I imagine the chassis will be like the Escort or Cortina. It will still be nice to have one :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinno Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 A Dick Johnson Torana will be cool. Glad it isn’t the same one I did with Munter’s body. Glad to see the XU1 though I will buy all of them. Moffat Falcon is cool but would like to see some Carter XB’s and XC’s. Like the Mustang too that will be welcome and will grab a police car too.

The collecting is a big part of the hobby for me as well. I guess my point is that I would have thought that commercially for Scalextric a new race livery would have been more viable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtpanorama Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 I think the collecting part of the hobby is bigger than we know, I remember seeing that last year the Batman car out sold just about everything else available and that most of the TV/Movie cars sell more than the race cars. 1 Quote Corporate greed is driving inflation.

Vinno Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 I’ve ordered two each of the XU1’s, two of the Moffat XB, one XY Police car and one Geoghegan Mustang. Police car is ok by me just for something different to a race car. But yes there are so many Falcons and Torana’s that could be done, especially some obscure cars. Next year we need a Charger to add another Aussie car to the group. Slowly getting there Scalextric. Southern Models you are doing a great job in getting the local cars produced. Thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangermouse Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 I don't know I am more likely to buy the police car than another race livery. Not a big fan of that era of racing so don't know but what other race liveries are there for them to do that people would go "yes finally the xxxxxx car!" I would have thought the main ones were done by now but could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
