Scalextric Avaliações 

Bought the microscalextric law enforcer set for my kids at Christmas. Not even in March yet and it is broken. Track does not feed the current round. Built it on the table and the floor still the same result. Massive waste of money and poor quality.

I recently bought a Scalextric ARC PRO Powerbase which arrived damaged. I purchased it from a reputable 3rd party high street shop, not direct from Scalextric but please bear with me because the problem is with Scalextric, not the 3rd party trader. The shop I bought it from contacted Scalextric on my behalf. Scalextric refused to provide a replacement or refund me stating that the damage must have been caused by the buyer. Scalextric came to this conclusion based on 2 photos that I sent, they never requested that it was returned for a full inspection to be undertaken. I felt sorry for the 3rd party trader who provided me with a full refund without question.

The problem with the item is that the socket to accept the transformer plug was misaligned meaning that I could not plug the transformer into port one of the powerbase. Scalextric said that I must have forced it. The item it was out of the packet for circa 2 minutes before I identified the problem. I have been putting plugs into sockets for about 50 years of my life and have never before caused damage to one. I know when something is being forced or not and this certainly wasn't forced. It would beg the question if the design is fit for purpose if Scalextric think that it's possible to cause damage by inserting a plug.

It appears that Scalextric take the approach that the customer is always wrong. I have bought Scalextric all my life and have never before had cause to request a replacement item or make a complaint. The response from Scalextric was disappointing to say the least.
