Looks interesting. Like the two colored track. Is that a banked curve on the far end? Need to find out where and when these will be available. :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

Banked yes. Release is set for Q3.

Thought for a moment there that Microsoft was getting into the slot car business. That would at least bring in a whole new level of excuses for losing races, like:

My car suffered a BSOD coming out of turn 4 and I had to reboot...
The driver for my controller threw an unhandled exception...
Abort, Retry, or Fail? ... I couldn't decide so I gave up...

Missing slotcar.dll file at execution...
I'm sorry Dave, I can't open the pod bay doors

MicroScalextric?

I dont care for these, but its a good way to get the kiddies hooked. Mattel really dropped the ball by not cranking out some different CARacters for their own sets. They made everything imagineable in the diecast versions, and several plastic versions converted to slot-power pop up on the 'Bay all the time. Ive been beat out a couple times for the few army jeep conversions that have surfaced.
