Keep buying them, buy more. Buy all of them - sick of the sight of bloody Minifigures. Think we had 22,000 at one stage!

But on a serious note, if anybody wants any minifigures then drop me a line. We dont have many left now, but I wouldn't mind them out of the way.

Ah and now it all makes sense, especially the motoring reference in your ebay name!

We have 2 Simpsons ones now, the cat and Barts mate, with 5 bags for stockings on xmas day. I expect we will be needing to complete that series whilst available.

I trust my mini figure is in the post then!

What Scaletrix have you got?

Couple hundred went today, so I assume it went? Did you get an email to say it was in the packing dept etc - probs at 5-6am this morning?

As for scalextric it's probs easier to say what we don't have. Have a look on the site...

Prices of Lego seem to vary wildly. Amazon are doing the latest big Lego Friends Mall set for £77 delivered tomorrow, or wait until Monday and have it for £58.

LEGO prices on Amazon drive me absolute wild and it often causes us a lot of grief.

E.g I can sell 50x LEGO Cargo Train in a day at £130 (RRP 129.99) on Amazon if they're out of stock. Then the next day Amazon have got it back in stock and put it up at £89.99!

Queue half of my customers sending us emails to return their orders OR giving us bad feedback because we are "ripping them off". We then have to deal with all the returns, with half of the products coming back damaged as they havent packed it properly. We then get no choice other than process a full refund and take it all on the chin, as if not Amazon will force it anyway.

Dont mention Amazon prices to me again....makes my blood boil.

Erm....nothing Scalextric. But Carrera do have Lightning McQueen and Francesco 1/32 Slot cars that can be used with Scalextric Analogue systems. (I think we only have Francesco available atm).

Oh no.

I was trying to avoid a Tamiya RC kit.

In the loft i've got my old RS Cosworth (Blue and yellow one from the early 90's?)

Still got all the radio gear, battery etc - will this likely still work with a new kit or should I start from scratch?

(and what should I buy?)

Your radio may be ok, but the battery is going to be a waste of time likely. If you want a good deal you wont go much better than our bundles with our Black Friday Discount.

They come with everything you need to get them going.

Presumably they can buy significantly cheaper than you? Or simply tolerate minuscule margins?

Yea well obviously - they have considerably more buying power than pretty much any retailer worldwide. But it still doesn't explain a somewhat daft pricing structure. I mean they can control who gets the sale buy giving themselves the buy box, they could then strengthen this with say a 10% undercut. But needlessly cutting the price by 30%+ all the time just devalues the product and makes them significantly less cash.

But oh well, its their business they can do what they want. I just hope manufacturers get sick of it and make a stand and dont supply them - otherwise at this rate in a decade you'll have no choice but to buy from Tesco or Amazon. Its hard work out there at the moment...
