Leigh’s Diecast Diary

After a wait of a few months we today finally received restocks of the 1:18 ‘Eleanor’ Shelby GT 500E from ‘Gone in Sixty Seconds’ (DC500), which has proven to be our most popular film related diecast subject of the year.

We also received an image of the 1:43 Trofeu two-car Ford Sierra set that commemorates Andy Rouse and Steve Soper’s fantastic battle in the Brands Hatch round of the 1988 British Touring Car Championship (TR002). As you can see from the photo, it looks like quite a dramatic piece to add to your collection. We should receive it in the next week or so.

Thanks for all the feedback that was left regarding last week’s episode. Here is the next installment - It’s a little longer than last week’s as there have been many things happening in the diecast world. As always I have listed the products below that have been featured in this week’s vidcast. Keep the comments rolling in. You will need quicktime installed to view the video on this post.
