Slot City for Scalextric & other Slot Cars & Spares http://www.slotcity.co.uk/blog Slot Cars Blog Sun, 28 Dec 2008 11:07:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 en Scalextric Slot Car 1/32 2009 Range http://www.slotcity.co.uk/blog/new-cars/scalextric-slot-car-132-2009-range/ http://www.slotcity.co.uk/blog/new-cars/scalextric-slot-car-132-2009-range/#comments Sun, 28 Dec 2008 09:57:34 +0000 admin http://www.slotcity.co.uk/blog/?p=198 Scalextric have advised the retailers of their 2009 Range. This is always subject to change, and the date of expected release (Guideline only), is on our web site under each car listing. To view the car listings just click on “Future releases” on the left hand side of the Home Page, then enter by clicking “SCALEXTRIC” then “CARS”. The photographs used are for illustration only, and liveries and colours will be added to the web site as and when we are given them by Scalextric. Hornby, along with other manufacturers around the world have suffered price wise with the situation in China. Raw materials costs, energy costs and the cost of labour in some provinces have increased by as much as 55%. I believe that Hornby (Scalextric) have taken a realistic view of this and this is reflected in the prices for 2009. The effect of the Dollar and Euro will also have serieous consequences for all the slot car manufacturers whether they make in Europe, Near or the Far East in 2009, and this will be reflected in their prices during this the penultimate decade year.
