Leigh’s Diecast Diary

Welcome to the eighty fifth Leigh’s Diary Vidcast. In this week’s episode, Steve…I mean Leigh….brings us an exclusive look at Steve McQueen’s Ferrari 250 Lusso from Mattel. An over-excited Alex helps introduce new Spark releases and Charlie (as always) is on-hand to bring us new models from Minichamps.

Keep the comments rolling in. You’ll need quicktime installed to view the video on this post.

Today we received a ‘mini’ AUTOart delivery, which is hopefully a precursor to their main shipment which is due in this week.

On today’s delivery, the highlight was the 1:18 BMW Z4M Coupe in white (AA80748), which looks really menacing!

We also received the 1:10 BMW F800GS in silver/black (AA10006) and yellow/black (AA10007), and the 1:18 Land Rover Discovery 3 in black (AA74802) and green (AA74803).

We’ve had several queries today as to whether IXO will be replicating Kimi Raikkonen’s Fiat Punto from Rally Finland at the weekend. Considering they have already confirmed his plain white Punto from the comparatively obscure Rally Della Marca (RAM371), I’m sure that it won’t take long for them to also announce his much more dramatically liveried Punto from his debut WRC event.
