Toy Story 3 Scalextric from Hornby.

Hornby is hoping for a boost in sales of their Toy Story themed scalextric track, on the release of Toy Story 3.

The film is currently due for release in the UK this year on July the 23rd. This install of the film sees Woody, Buzz and their friends dumped in a day care centre as Andy, the kid in the film, is now all grown up and off to college.

Hornby, who also own Corgi and Airfix and who are probably better known for their train sets, have seen sales rise this year. Profits are down but this is due to debts being cut in the first half of the year.

Along with the rights to the Toy Story scalextric, Hornby also have a range for the 2012 olympics and hope to see a greater improvement next year. Since overcoming supplier problems in China, confidence has returned in Hornby's ability to deliver it's expected demand in Europe for this year and for Christmas.

Suppliers have been stocking Hornby products in expectation of a good end of year. Giving hope to an age old toy company and it's fans, still managing to deliver quality toys for boys, and men alike, where many have fallen by the wayside since the heyday of scalextric and train sets.
