My First Scalextric Set 1 - Half Price @ Argos!

Was £28.95 now half price £14.47 !  This is a great offer for the little uns, I could not find it anywhere else for as low as this.

I struggled to find any at my local stores but eventually got mine from Wembley.  I do know its available in Mill Hill if you're quick and i recommend the click and reserve service.

Hope this helps someone.

    sorry took me a moments pause to work out this is ARGOS!! Just for anyone else who isn't sure.....

    Does anyone know if it's any good?
  • Well I paid full price for mine and it's going back. Not because it's now half price but because it is crap!!

    As a first scalextrix I would say the cars go far too fast in fact so fast they won't stay on the track! The crash barriers you have to clip onto the sides just won't stay on and I found it altogether pants!!! I will replace it with something else for my little fella who at 3yrs couldn't control the button to make the cars go. :(

    Just nabbed the last half price (£20) micro-scalextric mini challenge set from my Boots this afternoon, paid with points which felt good :D

    Seems fairly good value for money - the 4 males in the house are putting it through it's paces right now :)
  • oh geez so sorry, yes its ARGOS!

    interested to hear the reviews....... looks like it might be one for the dads then instead :D

    Glad I read this!

    I thought this looked like a good set for little ones. we have a hot wheels set (similar) but the cars shoot off the track with this.

    I'll steer clear of this one too then!

  • The micro scalextric at Boots is pretty good for a small child. I have the larger adult version where the cars seem to spend more time off the track than on it, I noticed with the micro they took some speed to make them dismount. Also now they are half price they are well worth the money...
