Something For Everyone!
Today Jason returned from his Australian travels to bring in our very first Casey Stoner signed 1:12 Minichamps bikes. These are his 2007 Moto GP Championship winning Ducati Desmosedici (PO70027S), and also his first bike in the top class, his 2006 Honda RC211V (PO61027S). We have less than 30 pieces remaining of each after fulfilling our pre-orders, so don’t leave it too long if you haven’t yet got yours!
We also received the new Minichamps release schedule today, which was a bit of a surprise as there is still a week to run on the previous one! Once again, the bike subjects overshadow the four-wheel releases.
The week beginning 11th May is a little quiet, the highlight being the 1:43 1973 Le Mans winning Matra of Henri Pescarolo and Gerard Larrouse (P731111).
The following week we will see one of the longest waiting replicas of all time, the 1:18 1998 McLaren MP4-98T two-seater (PG981878)! There will also be the two 1:12 2007 Moto GP Honda RC212Vs of Toni Elias (PO71024) and Marco Melandri (PO71033).
The week after that, beginning 25th May, we see a real ‘biggie’, James Toseland’s 1:12 2007 World Superbike Championship winning Honda Fireblade (PO71252). This is also available signed of course (PO71252S), and we hope to be able to meet up with James to complete the signing soon after we receive the replica.
The last week of the schedule sees a ‘really big biggie’ released, when we will at last see Valentino Rossi’s 2007 Yamaha YZR-M1 from Assen (PO73096)! The number of pre-orders we have for that, our warehouse staff better make sure they have three Weetabix for breakfast before coming in to get all those shipped out!
