SlotForum will have a couple of reporters at the Toy Fair this year.

If you are going and would like to meet up, please let me know.

If you have a stand at the Toy Fair and would like SlotForum to come along and report on your products, please let me know.

Questions / Requests
If any member has any specific questions or requests, please let us know here in this topic. Do you want to know anything specific about a new Slot Car related product? Would you like to see a specific photo of a new product or prototype? Would you like to see a photo of anything else at the fair: Diecast, RC, Planes, Trains etc. The reporters may not get around to it all, but if there is time, they may try.

Hi Doug,

I would like to know if Racer-Sideways plan to release the Group 5 rear wheels as hop ups too.

Thanks in advance for asking.

Regards, Spykerman

I would like to know if Faro are any closer to releasing the Skoda Fabia S2000 IRC.

Also if Mini Art are planning any more 1;35 scale buildings - preferably not destroyed/bombed ones (war)

 

[driver#8]

And the Faro Skoda Felicia Kit Car please!

 

[fast lucky]

Question for Kyosho : are they considering 1/32 scale in the future ?

 

[stoooo]

Since I already know that Avant Slot are going to be there, would you please grab their most senior rep by the scruff of his neck and "persuade" him to offer their body shells as a plain white kit ? And they need to start with the Subaru GrpN body. Cheers.

I see that MRRC plans to release an AC Cobra in red c/w Le Mans hardtop. Are there any other colours planned for 2012/13?

 

[JEXY1]

As far as I can tell the following companies will not be represented in Germany:
Auto Art
Cartrix
Fly
SCX
Slotting Plus
Spirit
Teamslot

Hi Stooo

SCX is not represented? This does not sounds good.

My request is the usual one: Treat any HO stuff the same as you would any other slot cars. Not that there will be much.

 

[Biberle]

Same procedure as every year: A lot of companies won't have their own booth, but will be represented by the german distributor.

For example SCX will be done by Eicker racing (NSR, too), but the stand will be a lot smaller than the former Tecnitoys booths.

H+T, now also owner of the famous MRRC brand, has a lot of companies under their wings: Fly, Avant, Cartrix, Racer/Sideways, Sloting Plus...

Spirit won't be there because they are definitely dead.

 

[Slots-O-Fun]

This is one of my favourite topics ever year. Thanks for covering it.

Bought and destroyed by SCX i believe. What a waste, good cars and some excellent tyres for Ninco.

 

[sunsetman]

My sources tell me Nsr will be there I think possibly even with there own stand.

Not true - Spirit are about to release a new livery BMW 2002 - See latest advert in Mas Slot.

Hi Gareth

Good to hear Spirit is still going - they have some really good cars and the motors are quick too.

Cheers
Dave

Avant Slot will be there and have their own stand which Looks very Nice.

Oh my god, talk about the Ministery for mis-information.
