link Hornby already owns Airfix, Humbrol and Scalextric. Now they just need to go after the Dinky and Meccano brands, and they'll have all my childhood toys in one package. |

Hooray, now maybe we'll get consistent scales |

I wouldn't hold your breath – it's not like they're going to resculpt all their existing products. And unless they centralize all their sculpting and moldmaking I doubt they'll make scale consistency a priority… |

"Hooray, now maybe we'll get consistent scales" No. They'll just be able to all go bust at the same time now… |

Won't they need Matchbox as well, Steve? :) |

Good lord, how did I forget Matchbox? |

Why would they want to do that? Seriously. "Box scale" is how toys have always been sold, and these are toys. Only wargmers care about scale, and we are a tiny minority of sales. |
