Cancellations and Swap-arounds. What A Confusing Day!
Today seemed to be Cancellation Day! Mattel cancelled their 1:18 Gianni Agnelli Ferrari 166MM (HW9916), Norev cancelled their Nelson Piquet Renault R28s in 1:18 (DC2806) and 1:43 (DC28406NV), and Minichamps cancelled their 1:43 David Piper 1970 Porsche 917K (P706759)!
We also heard that there will be no new Minichamps delivery at all next week, and hopefully will have the release schedule for the four weeks after that by the end of this week.
We did have this week’s Minichamps delivery though, headlined by the #7 Peugeot 908 from the 2007 Le Mans 24 Hours (PG071207). In 1:43 we received Armin Hahne’s 1976 DRM Ford Escort (P768433).
We also had to do some product code swapping after the FIA helpfully switched round Kimi Raikkonen’s, Felipe Massa’s, Sebastien Buemi’s and Sebastien Bourdais’ race numbers on the eve of the new F1 season! If, for example, you have pre-ordered a Felipe Massa 1:18 Ferrari F60, you will still get one, but the code will have changed!
