Leigh’s Diecast Diary

Today Jason dropped off new signed Alain Prost and Stirling Moss replicas for us. The two Prost cars are Solido’s 1:18 replicas of his championship winning 1985 McLaren MP4/2B (SL151232S), and 1986 McLaren MP4/2C (SL151233S). The Moss signed car is CMC’s beautiful 1:18 replica of his 1955 Mille Miglia Mercedes (CMC066S), although this first batch is already sold out to our pre-orders. As soon as we get our next delivery, which should be later this month, we will meet up with Sir Stirling again for another signing.

We can now offer Burago’s 1:18 replica of the ferocious Lamborghini Reventon (B11029) to pre-order. Surely this will be the company’s best selling replica ever?

Welcome to the sixteenth Leigh’s Diary Vidcast, reviewing all the new diecast replicas that were released last week, as well as footage from the 2008 London Toy Fair at the Excel.

As always, I’ve listed the products below that have been featured in this week’s vidcast. Keep the comments rolling in. You’ll need quicktime installed to view the video on this post.
