2024 releases
After a few years of Covid induced turmoil in the industry, the familiar pattern of releases of new cars seems to be returning. If that sounds melodramatic, then we have to remember that slot cars are a niche hobby in a world where ‘hands-on’ is constantly being replaced by electronic media. It is good to see our industry surviving and coming out the other side apparently intact.
Two pieces that seem to confirm this are, firstly, the 2024 Spielwarenmesse toy fair held in Nürnberg Germany in January, and secondly, the announcement of Scalextric’s Australia only releases. Spielwarenmesse is the and Fly coming back to attend Spielwarenmesse in person is very encouraging.
