So Many Releases, We Couldn’t Cover Them All!
Today was massively busy; there were so many new deliveries we had lorries queuing up outside the warehouse!
We had a surprise new release from Mattel, that we hadn’t been expecting imminently as we hadn’t been given a confirmed release date for it yet, in the form of the 1:18 Michael Schumacher ‘Super Elite’ Ferrari F2004 Career Statistics presentation (HW6235).
It looks very impressive, with the car at an angle in amongst the raised plinths detailing Schumacher’s career statistics. As with Mattel’s other Super Elites it comes presented in a ‘flip lid’ box. It comes with the engine cover on the car, which you then can then remove and position behind the raised plinth on the left rear of the base yourself. The dirty effect on the engine and the other mechanical parts is also a nice touch.
We also had a new delivery from AUTOart, headlined by the beautiful 1:18 2007 Le Mans GT1 winning Aston Martin DBR9 of Darren Turner, Rickard Rydell and David Brabham (AA80706).
From IXO, we received the latest deliveries in their 1:43 La Storia and Le Mans Winners collections. These were Gerhard Berger’s 1987 Ferrari F187 (IXSF12), and the 2003 Bentley Speed 8 of Tom Kristensen, Guy Smith and Rinaldo Capello (LM2003).
Last thing we also received the week’s new Minichamps delivery, but we didn’t have a chance to photograph the new releases by the end of the day, so now you know what tomorrow’s entry will be about!
