the speedy slide is very cool. it has 3 different tracks and each time the characters get to the bottom, they automatically get sent up a different route. one track doesnt have enough of an angle to send them all the way down, but thats something i will tweak, trying more weight in the character cars and cleaning the track.
photos of both sets are here
my christmas decorations from fe in christchurch arrived too. they are from disneystore in the states and include the luxo jr lamp from pixar, which i ordered specifically to go on my toy story layout. i also got merida from brave, rapunzel and flynn wedding day, timothy from dumbo for mum and tinkerbell. i also ordered but havent received yet a 30cm tall aladdin snow globe. that should be here tuesday.
