A Big MotoGP Release On The New Minichamps Release Schedule
Today we received both a new delivery and a new release schedule from Minichamps!
On the delivery the highlights were Alex Barros’s 1:12 2007 Ducati Desmosedici (PO70004), and the 1:43 Jaguar XF in silver (P130701).
The first week of the new schedule is for the week beginning 7th September, and then we will receive the Valentino Rossi 1:2 helmet from Valencia 2003 (PO32086), and the 1:12 Casey Stoner 1:12 2007 Ducati Desmosedici from Phillip Island, complete with figure and flag (PO70097).
The following week we will receive a very collectible 1:43 replica, of Nigel Mansell’s Williams FW10 from the European Grand Prix at Brands Hatch in 1985, which was of course his first Grand Prix victory (P850105). Also released that week will be Nelson Piquet’s 1:43 1985 Williams FW10 from his Paul Ricard test (P850005), and a re-release of the always popular Ayrton Senna 1:18 1991 McLaren MP4/6 (AS193).
For the week beginning 21st September, we will see the third of Minichamps’ 1985 Williams FW10s, which will be Keke Rosberg’s winning car from the Australian Grand Prix at Adelaide (P850006), and the 1:43 2008 Le Mans winning Audi R10 of McNish, Kristensen and Capello (P089802).
There will then be two weeks without any new Minichamps releases, as they have their annual end of September stocktake.
The last week of the schedule is for the week beginning 12th October, and the big news is that then we will finally see Nicky Hayden’s 1:12 2006 Moto GP Championship winning Honda RC211V (PO61069)! We hope to have the signed version (PO61069S) completed shortly afterwards. As we have been offering it for three years now, we will not get many more signed than we have pre-sold at the time of the signing, so get your pre-order in to make sure of your example!
