As for Compact being dead, that simply is not true. SCX released new products for Compact and reissued popular older ones as well in 2011. If you were to say that SCX did not release what you hoped they might in the begining of 2011, I could understand with that.

Hello everyone.
I didn´t see the last couple posts asking for my comment specifically until today - so sorry for the delay in replying.
The truth is there just is not much to say. The company has only 3 development engineers and their time has been allocated to a number of new molds for 1:32nd scale cars, some changes in chassis design, some new products that are not really slot car related, and some projects for Spanish corporate clients that are not in our catalog.
I can´t really say whether this is a mistake or not, but that is what was decided. I think it should be easy enough to introduce at least two new molds in 1:43rd scale each year as well as a couple pieces of track - and I have been fighting for that for years, but 2011 did not deliver for the Compact line.
I can understand perfectly that if someone wants a bunch of accessories to choose from, then Carrera has a lot more to offer today. However, for those of you more intested in car performance then I think SCX remains an excellent choice.
For what it is worth, our sales in the US of the Compact line in the hobby channel doubled in 2010 over 2009. Is there more growth opportunity with a wider selection of cars, sets, and track accessories? Sure, but I´ve gotten egg on my face in the past for setting expectations that did not materialize, so I prefer to not do that again.
