Our BLACK FRIDAY in store only deals continue through Small Business Saturday. Since we're oh so looking forward to closing the store, we're expediting the process a bit. We are open today from 12pm-5pm.

Buy 3 slot cars and get a fourth of equal or less value of your lowest priced one FREE. Any and all discounts will still apply. Get those stocking stuffers now or just increase your personal stables. You can't go wrong at this price.

Same deal with model kits, paints, glues, and slot car parts. All other items will be at current discount levels.

First come, first serve. Once items are gone, they will not be replaced.

With deep sadness we are forced to close our retail store location. This wasn't an easy decision but necessary. Our goal closing day is December 31, 2025 as our lease will be not renewed.

We will be selling off as much inventory as we can during this time. Discounts will be made available throughout. Fixtures will also be available for purchase, to be picked up once we no longer require them.

Items will still be available on our website, that will not be going away anytime soon. You'll just have to look at the pictures from now on.

It has been a pleasure serving the Middleburg Heights community for the past 12 years. Come on in for a final browse and, who knows, maybe you'll be able to find something you just can't live without.

Thank you and God bless,
Bob
