Pro-Idee kicks out pricey, portable go-cart funfest

by Darren Murph, posted Nov 17th 2006 at 2:40PM

We're down with fanciful portable gaming, and we're certainly crazy over limited edition toys from overseas, and Pro-Idee's suitcase-based go-cart track fits both bills quite nicely. Even if your work regulations won't allow you to toss a PSP or DS Lite in the otherwise pointless front shirt pocket, your boss will have no idea that the sleek, silver briefcase you're toting actually contains a two-player cart racing game, complete with a two-meter long track, stop watch, and a built-in battery pack for "five hours" of rubber-burning madness. Sure to make those long flights zip by, this jewel will be supposedly be limited to 60 units and will demand a whopping €598 ($766), which is probably a good bit less than you'd pay for an oh-so-coveted Playstation 3 right about now.

How are you suppose to find a slot car the size of a dime when it goes flying off the track?

They have little tiny GPS units in the trunks.

Yes tiny little GPS units for their tiny crazy-assed ex-boyfriends to find them wherever they go.

If it doesn't come with little banana peels and koopa shells, I'm not interested.

I bought this for my younger brother 15 years ago when it was made by Micro Machines, and was only $30.00.

On 8th december I recieved confirmation from Pro-Idee that my mutiple order was recieved and would be with me in 8 - 10 days.
It has still not arrived and they haven't even had the courtesy to reply to 2 enquiring e-mails.
I'm not sure what is going on with this company, but my advice for what it's worth is STAY CLEAR !
There must be plenty of other suppliers out there from whom you can access gadgets.
