For those who feel the Force…
They had 18 boxes on the shelves at Pacific Fair Toys R Us this afternoon, also available online. Seems to sell circa $100-110 normally here, its on offer for $85 delivered from Amazon UK so $60 for local seems pretty cheap.
From the description on Amazon:
Scalextric fans can now pit their skills against each other and experience the world of Star Wars in a revolutionary new way. One player races Luke Skywalker's X-Wing and the other controls Darth Vader's Tie Fighter as the pair accelerate along the extended figure-of-eight circuit trying to joust each other off, recreating the thrills of intergalactic duelling.
The set includes nearly four metres of track, including sections that glow in the dark, comprising a bridge and the use of the box to create a tunnel into the Death Star. Two skill-level hand throttles are included. These throttles are fitted with special tamper-proof skill level switches that can be set by an adult to suit the ability of the young player.
