Leigh’s Diecast Diary

Today we received a massive delivery of 1:16 Massey Ferguson 135 tractors (J2698), one of our most popular replicas of 2007. Most of them were already committed to pre-orders, so our warehouse was kept extremely busy, and if you don’t want to have to wait until after Christmas to get your example you should order very soon.

Speaking of getting your orders in, we are now very close to the limit of our allocation on the Lewis Hamilton 1:43 2007 Australian Grand Prix ‘first race/first podium’ McLaren MP4/22 (DC27402A). It won’t be out until next year, but we will probably have to stop taking pre-orders on it before Christmas, so don’t put off ordering that one for much longer if you want it.

Minichamps announced some new subjects in the 1:43 Takuma Sato collection today. These are his Super Aguris from the 2006 Bahrain Grand Prix (DC26422C), the 2006 Japanese Grand Prix (DC26422J), and the 2007 Brazilian Grand Prix (DC27422B).
