‘Something For Everyone’, No Kidding!
Today we had the double whammy of a new Minichamps delivery and the new monthly release schedule for June!
On the new delivery was Shinya Nakano’s 1:12 2007 Honda RC212V, in the beautiful Konica Minolta livery (PO71056), long-awaited restocks of Ayrton Senna’s 1:18 1993 McLaren MP4/8 (AS190), and one of our most popular 1:43 road cars in quite a long time, the Ford Fiesta XR2 in black (P085161).
Unlike May, June’s Minichamps schedule does not have anything ‘huge’ on it, more a large number of ‘fairly big’ replicas!
The first week of the schedule (beginning 1st June) sees Colin Edwards’ 1:12 2007 Assen Yamaha YZR-M1 (PO73095) released and the 1:43 2008 Le Mans LMP2 winning Porsche RS Spyder of van Merksteijn, Verstappen and Bleekemolen (P086834).
The following week we are scheduled to receive Carlos Checa’s 1:12 2007 Honda RC212V (PO71007), and Carlos Reutemann’s 1:43 1974 Brabham BT44 (P740007).
The week after that we will take delivery of two long awaited 1988 Ayrton Senna replicas; his half scale helmet (P883212) and his 1:43 McLaren MP4/4 from the World Champions Collection (P880012WC).
The fourth week of the schedule (week beginning 22nd June) we are down to get another 1:12 2007 Honda RC212V, that of Dani Pedrosa (PO71026), and another 1:43 World Champions Collection car, Alain Prost’s 1989 McLaren MP4/5 (P890002WC). On top of that, we will also receive the runner-up Peugeot 908 from last year’s Le Mans in 1:18, of Villeneuve, Minassian and Gene (PG081207).
The last week sees yet another 1:12 2007 Honda RC212V and yet another 1:43 World Champions Collection car! The Honda (PO71069) will be Nicky Hayden’s (I can’t believe we will be seeing that before his 2006 Honda RC211V), and the F1 Champion will be Nelson Piquet’s 1987 Williams FW11B (P870006WC). There will also be another long awaited 1:18 Ayrton Senna restock, his 1989 McLaren MP4/5 (AS191).
There should be something for everyone there!
