Another Amalgam For Your McLaren Collection

posted in Formula 1 |

Today we received Amalgam’s 1:4 replica of the 2007 McLaren MP4/22 steering wheel, as handled by Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton (AML705). It looks great and Amalgam have also done a very nice job on the packaging, with it being silver like the MP4/22 itself.

As the end of each year looms on the horizon we start looking at which replicas are still on for Christmas, and which ones will not see the light of day until after the end of December. To that end, we contact all of the diecast manufacturers and ask them to confirm which subjects we definitely will not see until the New Year. As soon as we have this information we relay it to our customers, to keep them as fully informed as possible.

Last thing today Minichamps got back to us, so in tomorrow’s entry there will be a listing detailing all of their ‘biggies’ that we will definitely not see before Christmas. That’s not to say that other replicas might not also join that list between now and Christmas, but as we get further news on specific releases it will be posted in the diary.

    Fingers crossed it’s good news tomorrow for the Button First Win! ;)

    I’m sorry Dan, as from your previous posts I know you’re desperate to see this one released, but the Button First Win has been put back to 2008 in both scales. I felt I couldn’t leave you hanging on for one more day before breaking that news to you. Please don’t shoot the messenger!

    Had a feeling you’d say that! It’ll never be released - it’s just a cruel joke on us suffering Jenson fans! ;)

    Oh well, thanks for the heads up anyway!

    That’s really bad news! I hope that the Hamilton first win will not be like this !

    I’d be surprised to see the Hamilton First Win before the end of summer 2008.

    I wouldn’t. Hamilton is a licence to print money - I dare say they’ll turn that around as quickly as they do Valentino Rossi stuff these days.

    They’ve probably learnt their lesson from this Button First Win that they’ll need to cash in on it ASAP, because if Lewis has a bad car next year like Jenson did this year, interest might wane like it has (in the media at least) for a certain Honda driver!

    Oh well, we’ll see. Ladbrokes or someone should start offering odds on when certain diecast subjects will see the light of day!

    I am stunned Leigh!
    You receive the McLaren steering wheels one day, and I get mine from you the next day!! Even with 2nd class postage! A big thankyou to all at GPL/DCL been waiting for one of these for years!!!

    That’s OK Darren, glad you like it.
