Just When You Thought We’d Had Enough Diecast Excitement This Week!

posted in Diecast, Moto GP |

Luckily I was working today, as yesterday evening Minichamps announced a UK market exclusive 1:12 Nicky Hayden 2009 Ducati from the Laguna Seca Moto GP, where he had a special American flag inspired paint job.

The big news though is that it is limited to just 609 pieces, which we are sure is the smallest limited edition ever for a Minichamps race bike. The infamous Spencer and Doohan test bikes were limited to just 504 each, and were pre-sold out within two days of putting them on our website.

This will probably be sold out with the Minichamps UK importer within an hour of them opening for business on Monday. I just wanted to let diary readers know immediately so you can get your pre-orders in safely and be at the front of the queue when it is released.

We are offering this Nicky Hayden 2009 Laguna Seca Ducati Desmosedici unsigned (PO90169) and signed (PO90169S).

We are having to limit customers to two each of these replicas because supply is going to be so tight, but if you are that way inclined you could get away with ordering two unsigned and two signed if you wish!

And by the way, we have now sold out of the Minichamps 1:12 Valentino Rossi 2007 Valencia paddock bike (PO73176)!

Hi Leigh, you said a couple of weeks ago that the Schumacher and Raikkonen Fiat 500’s are due on the next Norev delivery. Do you have any idea if this delivery is due before the end of 2009? Thanks, M.

Thanks for your kind words - I think after the paddock bike pre-ordering is going to become a lot more popular with our customers!

We’ve not been given a specific date for the next Norev delivery, but I’m assuming we are going to see it this year. With a new Raikkonen release on it, we’d better!
