Scalextric

As a kid I have to say that I had no heard of Scalextric sets This was until my uncle came round one morning with his entire collection of the stuff and we decided to sit and place everything he had on the downstairs of the home, it worked perfectly I have to say.

Another thought is when it comes to many plastic model kits like action figures because a lot of people will actually go out into the shops and buy two of them.
