Minichamps 09 Announcements…2 Days And Counting!

posted in Due Dates, Diecast, Other Cars, Moto GP |

Today Universal Hobbies announced their next 1:12 Honda RC30 replica, and it will probably be the most popular one yet.

It will be Carl Fogarty’s red #8 version from his double Isle of Man TT win in 1990 (UH88032). Fogarty is still one of our most popular riders, and we are excited that he will also be signing it for us when it is released (UH88032S).

Solido became the latest manufacturer to impose a set of price rises, with all of their current 1:18 replicas going up by £5.

We received two new 1:18 releases from Mattel; the Ferrari California in blue (HW2043), and the Ferrari 360 Modena in red (HW2051).

Minichamps also gave us a new release in their second colourway of the 1:12 Suzuki GT750, candy lavender (P162101). There were five more 2008 DTM cars in 1:43 too; Ekstrom (P081801), Tomczyk (P081802), Kristensen (P081809), Stoddart (P083716) and Lauda (P083708), but these were all sold out to pre-orders.

Finally, the big news is that the 2009 Minichamps announcements will be revealed on Monday!
