If You’re A Jenson Button Fan, Look Away Now!

Today we received Amalgam’s latest 1:12 nosecone replica. It is of the McLaren MP4/23 (AML837), and good news for Lewis Hamilton supporters is that it has the #22 on it!

We also put the 1:43 Hamilton ‘First Podium’ special (DC27402A) back up on our website today. We only have a tiny number left so we removed it from our website over the Bank Holiday weekend to ensure that we would not oversell.

Talking of Hamilton specials, Minichamps confirmed the release dates of their two replicas commemorating his first Grand Prix win at Montreal last year. We will see the 1:43 version (DC27402C) in the week beginning 8th September and the 1:18 version (DC2702C) in the week beginning 22nd September, so both are quite close.

Finally today, we heard that we will see Red Line’s 1:43 replica of Kimi Raikkonen’s Ferrari F2007 from last year’s Brazilian Grand Prix (RL148) next week.

The first podium has been such a disappointment for many fans. The car must have been ready for months and it has taken Minichamps ages to design a special commemorative packaging? And there is a mistake on the card inlay as it states the car is both the mp4-21 and mp4-21. What are Minichamps doing? They produce some of the best diecast models around and then produce items like this one. Reputations take years to build up yet can be shot down in a matter of seconds. Minichamps need to be careful or people will stop buying their products. Cheers Richard
