Just in case you missed Richardtheforth's post in "Bargains" here's one not to miss if you're thinking of going digital. Link
- £12 p&p to France (& Europe?).
Cheers,

PS I don't have any shares in Amazon ... yet!
At £300 these sets were a steal, I worked out that the contents would be at least £700 to buy separately. Even though £300 at this time of year is a lot of money still had to grab one, for the cars and a few spares.
Rules with Scalextric is buy the biggest set you can afford as this is the most cost effective way of starting out.
Doubt you find this for £300 again this year, but you never know with Amazon, maybe next xmas
However worth remembering that the price fluctuates on Amazon depending if they are selling it or a third party. http://www.camelcamelcamel.com/ can be used to monitor prices and there is an add-in if your use chrome as your browser.
Thanks for the replies guys - much appreciated.
I did see the £399 price at modelzone but that is more than I'd pay (despite fully appreciating its value!) at the moment.
Thanks TR7_Driver, I've put a notice on it at the camelcamelcamel site.

The offer was on all day yesterday, and indeed if you do a google search today, you can see it still listed at play (as £300)... I was umming and erring about it last night. THANK GOD I PRESSED THAT BUY BUTTON BEFORE I WENT TO BED!
But indeed the offer seems to be over. It was with a company called GeorgeandFreddie and when I bought it, it said there were at least 5 available. Wish I'd bought more than just one now! I would have been happy to have sold them on for a token gesture more to other folks here so we'd both be winners!
Did anyone from here buy one while the offer was on?
So I guess at £299.99 it's a bit of a bargain really, at current comparative prices at least.
I maintain it is a bargain at £500, £300 is ridiculous.
Of course, I better not speak too soon. It's entirely possible they've now removed offer as it was a mistake, and the company (dealing under play.com) will refuse to complete the transaction!

Well, I have a huge box in the hallway, so the offer was good and they fulfilled it
