An Audience With Mr.Minichamps!
Today we had the honour of being visited by Mr. Paul Lang, owner of Minichamps, and his new Marketing Director.
We had quite an intensive four hour meeting; we had planned to go out for lunch but ended up ordering sandwiches in instead as we had so much to discuss!
Thank you to everyone who responded to our Minichamps survey a couple of weeks ago. We were able to put together a pretty mammoth presentation based on all your views and comments.
It was a very constructive meeting, with issues addressed such as pricing, lead times from announcement to production, and limited editions. We were left feeling that Minichamps is fully committed to strengthening any areas where they are not already perfect.
Our suggestions for future model subjects were also positively received. Obviously, these will be too late for next week’s new 2010 announcements, but we are already looking forward to seeing what will be announced at the 2011 Nuremberg Toy Fair!
Away from Minichamps, we received True Scale Miniatures’ latest 1:18 Porsche 935 K3, in the eye-catching Coca Cola livery, from the 1980 Daytona 24 Hours (TSM09184). True Scale have done another superb job on this one.
We also received our second delivery of Universal Hobbies’ 1:16 Nuffield Universal 4 tractor (J2715), so that is now available from stock as well.
