Nuremberg 2011 - Scalextric: New Beetle, MGB, Lotus Cortina, McLaren, Kits & More

The Scalextric stand was extra impressive this year, with a huge amount of great new stuff on show in ready-to-go and pre-production form. The new models include a classic early-sixties Beetle, MGB and the new McLaren, while there are also new kits and sets that tie in with Cars to appeal to younger slot car racers. Plenty of great high-detail sets for the collector too, though, including themes like Aston-Martins and Brawn GP. A bit of Bond too!

He-Man Wants Your Respect!

Question: Who stands six feet and two inches tall, weighs two hundred and twenty-five pounds, generally utilizes his brains to avoid violence, and is so bad ass that even his sister is bad ass? That’s right -- It’s He-Man.

When you think of 1980’s iconic superheroes and cartoons, you cannot escape the Masters of the Universe franchise. At one point in time, He-Man had it all. A great cartoon, great action figures, and even a major motion picture. (Regardless of what you think, that movie was awesome and we won’t hear another word about it.) He-Man was so popular that even his sister, She-Ra, had her own spin-off cartoon. Yes -- it was the eighties and it was the glory days.
