I wish I'd got mine......my first set was a Night Stages figure of 8 with 2 Escort XR3i's. They had lights.....wicked!
I bought loads of track to extend the circuit lengths. I then sold that set.
I then got into it again about 3 or 4 years later and had another set with a Ferrari F40 and a Lambourghini Diablo (very classy cars) and loved it to bits. I started making alpine circuits with those bridge support sections aloowing you to build circles of track on top of each other......
I cant really justify getting one now....especially as I live on my own...if I had kids then I'd get for me....er...for them...
