What's New!

CEN Matrix 5 - 1:5 scale truck and buggy

CEN have finally decided to move into the 1:5 scale arena and their introductory effort is a stunner.

Boasting a 30cc petrol motor for plenty of power and torque, and the choice of 2WD or 4WD chassis, these are certain to really "move". Packed with CEN's renowned reliability and super strong components these cars are certainly as strong as they look.

There is a choice of Monster Truck, Truggy or Buggy bodies and all are priced under $1,000 RTR - just add batteries, fuel and oil and away you go.

For more info, visit the CEN website or drop in to see them "in the flesh".

Formula type RC cars

HPI Formula 10 race car kit in stock at only $230. Just add your radio equipment, speed controller and batteries and you're on your way to a great racing experience.

Of course if you'd prefer sedan racing, we still stock the TAMIYA TA05 and HOT BODIES CYCLONE S car kits and can get you others if you'd prefer (X-Ray, Schumacher, Team Magic or Corally).

Italeri Schnellboot Type S-100 kit

At 1m in length, this is the worlds largest 1/35 scale plastic model kit. Complete with photo etched parts, a booklet about the ship, and over 600 parts, this kit is for someone who wants a challenge, but has experience in modelling.

 

Remote Control and Collectible Daleks

Are you a Dr Who fan? If so, then have we got the thing for you.

Standing 30cm tall the RC Dalek is a great gift (either for someone else or yourself). With a number of classic phrases and full "driving" movement, these Daleks are a must have, and at only $92.50 quite affordable.

But if that's too big, or your budget doesn't stretch that far, we also have chrome collectible versions standing a mere 6 cm. They also speak but are not remote control and are priced at only $24.95.

Aurora AFX Slot Cars

We now have in stock a large range of AFX sets, cars, accessories and track.

We stock a large range of track from basic straights and curves, to banked curves and loops. Sets start at under $70 for the Fireball Challenge up to less than $200 for the Mega Raceway, with the turbo cars are under $20 each and the G+ cars under $25

Athearn HO railway sets now in stock

The Athearn "Warbonnet Express" HO railway sets (Santa Fe, Union Pacific, and CSX) are now all in stock. These sets come with the locomotive, brake van and four carriages, a large oval of track and a Bachmann transformer and controller.

Bachmann BHP Billiton "Desert King" HO railway set

Newly released, the Desert King set features a BHP Billiton Iron Ore locomotive and 4 ore cars. Presented in full BHP Billiton colours this is a great starting point for someone who wants to have an Australian model train at a sensible price.

The set comes with an oval of Bachmann E-Z Track which is easily expandable, a transformer and controller.

 

Jigsaws - greatly expanded range

Since we introduced a range of jigsaw puzzles (aimed mainly at military and railway), we've been asked about jigsaws for other topics.

We've now got stock of jigsaws featuring cars, animals, fairy tales, landscape scenes, and space themes to name just a few.

If you are looking for a WASGIJ, we've got them too. And 3-D puzzles - both actual 3-D and "lenticular" puzzles which are flat but look very realistic with 3-D images.

 

And the "old favourites"

Even though we are expanding a number of ranges, we're not forgetting the "old" lines either. We are now stocking a broader range across many product areas including
