Scalextric Digital C1276 Platinum

FYI...
My LHS is selling this set for ..... wait for it.... C$799
They had a 25% off sale last week but even so that seems a bit much.

This is also the selling price US$ 799 through www.scalextric-usa.com so quite pricey.

I am glad I got my track (albeit w/o the C7042) a couple of years ago as prices over here seem to have jumped quite a bit.
FYI, a CLC (C7007) was selling in the same store for .... C$59 and I saw the same piece in Washington state on the store shelf for US$ 25. Go figure.

Hope every one is happy with their Christmas purchases/gifts!
Cheers!

FYI, the C7042 WAS selling in the US for USD 149.99 last summer and is currently priced at USD 179.99. That is a USD 30 or a 20% increase in MSRP (manufacturer's suggested retail price). Does not seem to be coming down in price at the moment over here.

And don't remind me about the Canadian pricing for the APB. Seems that "close to par" with the USD does not matter... the MSRP locally is C$ 228.49 which is a mark up of about another 26% (with C$ 1 = USD 0.97 and C$ 1.58= GBP 1).

Enjoy your bargains!

Cheers!
