I don't think I've seen anyone else posting this info, apologies if they have.

Carrera have made some changes to their forthcoming range of figures.

The grandstand figures have all had a new coat of paint....

And the mechanic figures will also now be available in blue and white....

Jon,

They look even better in those new modern colors, they will look great on my modern track!

Any news about the release date?
I urgently need those sitting spectators!

No news on a firm release date, still 4th quarter in the UK.

have Carrera decided not to make the Captain Birdseye trawler captain any more? was this an issue of sponsorship?

 

[thomas]

..he's still there - look for the top picture on the left - but remember - these figutres have partially moveable arms! So you can position them in different ways...

I just got an e-mail from the importer of Carrera in Belgium and those little figures will be in the shops in two weeks!

Looking forward to them!!! My grand stand will be more crowded then!

Mine too!
Now if only someone could get me some early for the SF party!

(cough cough thomas? cough cough)

 

[thomas]

...me again hm?

Just organized that Carrera digital track and now you're asking for figures? No buildings?

You know the german word of "giving the small finger and taking the whole hand"?
I'll try my best, but can't promise...

Thomas do you know if its only the standing figures who can move there arms

I cant really tell from the pictures if the sitting figures can!

Ahh!
Yes in English it is "give them an inch and they take a mile!"

Well those that don't ask don't get, I would have asked sooner if I had known you were going for lunch at Carrera last weekend.

Sorry Thomas I really was only joking with you. I haven't even painted the stands yet!!!

...if the grandstands are not painted, I'll try to get some buildings and figures - -but no promises - just a try

And you're not taking only 1 mile - if one of the dealers here in Switzerland is aware what I'm doing, they will kill me!

Supplying their possible best future customer

with goods from outside the official distribution channel... BUT - Then you've to do a detailled review of this stuff! Otherwise it will be placed on Suzuka...

Here is some more pictures of the figures etc.

They look cool, but a bit expensive i think

Morten

 

[slik]

Hey there!

I think I will be purchasing as few of these packs as well, they look great

I really fancy a big set of the modular buildings for the back of my circuit too, I have a feeling that could get a little expensive though, oh well, you get what you pay for in this life hey?

Cheers,

Julian.

I'll skip my Scalextric Sport buildings and get these awesome buildings from Carrera!!!!

Just need to find a very cheap place to buy them!

The buildings, the spectators and a set of mechanics have arrived in the UK and are now available from GetSlotted
