Micro Scalextric - how does it compare to regular scalextric?

[TwoToTango]

My DS is after a scalextric for christmas. We don't have much space and I have seen the Micro Scalextric in the Argos catalogue. I guess it is just a smaller version, does anyone know how much smaller and is it just as good as the regular version?

Anyone?

My dp (22 going on 7) says its not that much smaller and there are not as many extra bits to go with it - normal scalextric you can build on.

However, if its that or nothing then it sounds pretty good to me

we bought it for DS for his 5th birthday last month, it is fab and we all love playing with it. Don't know how it compares to the other one but would definitely recommend it.

Thanks both - think I will go for it as I don't want it growing into a great big set that takes over the living room or his bedroom! I have looked on ebay and seen a few add ons - loops, crossover type thinks etc.
