Deliveries Galore…Make Sure You Order By 1pm Tomorrow!

With Christmas just a few days away, we received several new deliveries today!

Minichamps were first up, the obvious highlight being the 1:12 Valentino Rossi 2008 Yamaha YZR-M1 (PO83046), but such has been the demand for this replica, that we have only been able to be supplied with a part-shipment of it before Christmas.

As we always do in the rare situations where this occurs, our pre-orders have been fulfilled in the order that they were placed. We expect to receive the balance of our Rossi 2008 Yamahas in mid to late January.

The other ‘biggie’ on the delivery was the 1:43 Lewis Hamilton McLaren MP4/23 from the 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix (DC28422B), the latest release in Minichamps’ 1:43 World Champions Collection. We also received the 1:12 Kawasaki Mach III (P164700).

Next up, we received CMC’s latest highly detailed 1:18 replica, the #14 Ferrari 250 GT that finished third at Le Mans in 1961 (CMC079).

Last thing today we received Universal Hobbies’ latest 1:16 tractor, the Nuffield Universal 4 (J2715). This is another replica where we have received a part-shipment, but we have at least managed to fulfil all of our pre-orders on this one, as the number that we received today managed to cover them exactly! We have been told to expect restocks in the middle of January, so then we should be able to supply this tractor straight from stock.
