Even When Power Goes Down, We Still Get The News To You!
There’s loads of Minichamps news today. I promised you their May release schedule yesterday, so I’ll start off with that. At the moment it looks much happier reading for bike collectors than car collectors, but, as ever, as the weeks go by more new releases will probably be added to it. Next week sees the next 1:12 Valentino Rossi figure, the 2001 sitting version in a burnout pose (PO10046), and Fernando Alonso’s 1:43 Renault R26 from the 2006 French Grand Prix (DC26401F).
The week beginning 12th May is a bit quiet, with ‘just’ some 1:43 road cars on it, all of which can be seen on the Minichamps Release Schedule page. The week after that sees a significant release in the form of Freddie Spencer’s 1:12 1985 Honda NSR 500 (P850004), while we will also see Alex Zanardi’s 1:43 2006 BMW F1.06 testcar (DC26499Z).
Finally, the week beginning 26th May, we are down to get two more important 1:12 bikes; one of our best selling classic road bikes, the Honda CBX 1000 (P161500), and Valentino Rossi’s 1998 Aprilia 250 CCM (P980046). We also received this week’s new Minichamps delivery today, headlined by three 1:43 Formula One replicas; Michael Schumacher’s 1995 Benetton-Renault B195 (P950001), Fernando Alonso’s 2007 McLaren-Mercedes MP4/22 (DC27401), and also Alonso’s 2008 Renault showcar (DC28405P). The latter is a limited edition of 3,333 pieces. Spark also released a popular 1:43 replica today, the #4 Jaguar XJR8 of Eddie Cheever, Raul Boesel and Jan Lammers from the 1987 Le Mans 24 Hours (SPK758).
