Leigh’s Diecast Diary

Hot on the heels of the A1 GP finale at Brands Hatch at the weekend, Amalgam have now released their third 1:43 replica from the series, of Team France (AML803).

However, the top diecast story today is that there will be another round of price increases that will take effect at the beginning of June. These have again been attributed to the price increases in labour and raw materials in the manufacturing process.

All 1:43 Minichamps F1 and road cars that are currently priced at £22.99 will increase to £24.99. The same thing will happen to Mattel’s 1:43 replicas that are currently priced at £22.99.

Solido have the most price increases, with their 1:18 road cars increasing from £22.99 to £24.99, their 1:18 race cars increasing from £26.99 to £29.99, and their 1:18 Alain Prost Collection cars increasing from £36.99 to £39.99.

All of these will take effect from 1st June, but, as ever, pre-order from us and you will only pay the price that the model was when you ordered it.
