New AUTOart Announcements, and Not Long To Go For New Minichamps Models. What a Time For Diecast Fans!
This morning we received two new replicas from Sun Star, the first being Damon Hill’s 1:18 Williams-Renault FW15C from the 1993 South African Grand Prix, his first race for the team (Q18331). The second release was the 1:24 AEC Regent Bus (SS2920), Sun Star’s first ‘non-Routemaster’ bus release.
We also received that rarest of things, a set of new 1:18 announcements from AUTOart! The highlights are the Porsche Cayenne Turbo in grey metallic (AA78061), and black (AA78062), Andy Priaulx’s 2007 WTCC winning BMW 320Si (AA80746), and the DHL Porsche RS Spyder from the 2007 American Le Mans Series (AA80774). The rest of the new offerings are currently at the top of our ‘New Announcements’ category.
Tomorrow is the first day of the London Toy Fair, and Minichamps will be announcing their new 2008 subjects. I say ‘subjects’, as I will be surprised to see any of them actually released before the end of 2008! So, make sure you check out our website during the day to see what’s new. We will have a dedicated ‘New 2008 Minichamps Announcements’ banner on the front page of our diecast and Minichamps sites.
I’ll be attending the Toy Fair tomorrow and on Thursday, so the next two days’ diary entries will be submitted ‘from the field’!
