Hello,

My name is Alex. I live in France and I've been collecting slot cars for years.

When I was a kid, Aurora AFX cars were sold in France but now it is impossible to find any new HO slot cars here. I've seen the pics of the new Autoworld cars, and I'd love to buy some of them.

I visited the San Francisco Bay Area last month and I went to my favorite hobby shop, San Antonio Hobbies in Mountain View (I lived there in the late 90's), hoping to find Autoworld slot cars, but unfortunately I found out that they went out of business in Dec. 2006. I went to another hobby shop, R/C Unlimited in San Jose, but they only carried a few JL cars.

I'll be back in the Bay Area next week and I'd really like to find some Autoworld cars this time. Does anyone here know if there are any stores in the San Jose / San Francisco bay area that would carry them?

Many thanks in advance!!

in San Jose. I used to buy slot cars there, at one time they had a reasoanble assortment of sets, cars, and tools. I used to buy NOS tjet chassis for $3 there...back in the late 80s.

if you look in their online catalog, under Trains/Slot cars, they have a fair selection. Round2 is listed as "rain check"

btw, tomy super international sets are $155, not a bad price from what i recall.
