Our reporters are preparing for the show. We'll bring photos and news from the 2009 Nürnberg International Toy Fair.

There is not much that we don't know already. But we hope to bring some goodies from the show that haven't be put up on the web already.

Stay tuned and check back here often, I'll link from this topic to our reports.

Teamslot & standard Ninco are up.

Ninco asked us not to post photos of the Xlot system until tomorrow. Not sure why... seems the news is out already.

Hi, Can't see any Scalextric banner, does that mean they are not attenting the faire this year? Per

 

[don-pedro]

Under this link you will find the news from SCALEXTRIC

Look at this site!

 

[Spa67]

yes, but there is a difference between pictures and working prototypes!

...oh...and scalex has a history of tons of errors in the catalog. I trust the reporters from this forum far more that the proof readers at Hornby.

 

[don-pedro]

The Toy Fair still takes a few days, maybe there are a few photos

 

[Doug]

This was one day's work. The other brands will be covered tomorrow.

We have appointments with all the main manufacturers and will be presenting the news over the week-end.

 

[don-pedro]

This is not a problem for me. I will be on Sunday and Monday also at the fair to be. Maybe I can then show a few pictures.

 

[rmcclure]

Anything from Carrera or have I missed something? Some more 50s stockers would be great. Autoart? Wonder if they'd follow up the Jags with some other 50s GT racers.

Hi Doug !

Is it possible to ask Slot-It if there will Alfa Romeos 33/3 from Brands Hatch 1971 and Watkins Glen 1971 and to ask NSR if there will individual versions of the Gulf Porsche 917 (any race) ?

Also, when will they be available ?

Many thanks !

André Acker.

 

[Doug]

Photos of other brands delayed a little as the press room is jam-packed. All the available workstations have queues of people wanting to use them.

We'll publish the info on Scalextric, SCX, Carrera etc. and the other brands as it becomes available.

For questions, please understand that we can't run around going back to manufacturers that we have visited. Please go ahead and ask your questions in the appropriate threads, most of the manufacturers will be reading those threads.

 

[Speedy]

DOUG , nobody say that --> GREAT JOB !!!! Thank's a lot for your feedback!

Do not forget MBslot... New track available???

 

[Simon]

Yes thanks a lot Doug, we do all appreciate all of your hard work and the work of those at the show

Simon

 

[Doug]

OK, more info going up now. Most is in. A server crash at the Toyfair stopped some of the transfers, but that will come in tonight.

 

[Doug]

AutoArt, MB Slot & Scalextic photos are up.

 

[lgl007]

Brilliant coverage so far... thanks so much for your efforts. Can't wait to see the rest

[Doug]

SCX, BRM & Scorpius are up.

Remember folks that there will be reports added to these topics over the week-end with details about models, availability and pricing - depending on what exactly was given out by the various manufacturers.
