Hi,

I want to buy my husband a good scalextric set for christmas but not sure where to buy one. Saw some in argos and was wondering if these are any good? He's been hinting for months but im a bit clueless when it comes to the different types!

Thanks in advance

Make sure you get the Digital. They're pricy enough

Also on this site is a dealer locator for Ireland.

you don't have to buy the new digital one just get the normal one and then he can convert it to digital later if he want's, it's not that big of a job. the new digital ones are expensive I personally would'nt pay it.
