Just saw an flyer from TRU that has the Speed Racer battery operated set from Hot Wheels . Don't know if its HO or 1/43 but it 50% off @ $24.99. Raunchy

Is this the set:

I am going to check it out tomorrow at my local shop.

$20.00 at costco

That is a HO set. Ummmm Tyco/Mattel 440X2 chassis. Ummmm Speed Racer figure-eight. Get it before Rich does. :drunk::hat::freak::dude:

There are two Speed Racer sets. One sold for $30 at TRU (or $20 at Costco) and was a figure eight. The other set was larger and sold for $49.99. If the set is 50% off at $24.99, it is most likely the larger set. The cars from the two sets are quite different.

One set has a "Mach 5" and the other set has a "Mach 6" I believe....and the villian cars are different, too.

The set on sale at TRU was not an HO race set. The cars were diecast.

the set in the flyer was a slot car set. Raunchy

The TRU here in NJ had a Hot Wheels Speed Racer set on sale for $24.99 (regular price $49.99). I took a guess this was the set you saw. The larger HO set in my TRU was still full price.

I did however pick one up at BJ's today for $29.99. Silly looking cars, but I suffer from collector-itis.
