Spies To Sign For Us And Button Brazil News
Today I have so much diecast news I’m not sure where to start!
First off, we are delighted that Ben Spies has agreed to sign Minichamps’ 1:12 replica of his 2010 Yamaha YZR-M1 exclusively for us (PO103011S). This, of course, is his first ‘full-time’ Moto GP bike. Once he takes Valentino’s seat next year, as everyone expects him to, and starts racing at the front consistently, this will be a signed replica to keep under lock and key!
We also received some interesting news today regarding Minichamps’ Jenson Button 2009 Brazilian Grand Prix Brawn specials. First off, they will NOT be part of the Minichamps World Champions Collection, as I thought they might be. We now know the limited editions in each scale as well. The 1:43 Jenson Button 2009 Brazilian Grand Prix Brawn (DC29422SP) will be a limited edition of 6,333 pieces, while the 1:18 Jenson Button 2009 Brazilian Grand Prix Brawn (DC2922SP) is limited to a mere 4,209. If you want either of these, particularly the 1:18 version, you’d better not wait for long!
We received the new IXO 1:43 delivery today too. Highlights include the latest 1:43 La Storia car, which is Rene Arnoux’s 1985 Ferrari 156 (IXSF24). We also received the first Kimi Raikkonen rally car replica, which is his Fiat Punto from the 2009 Rally Finland (RAM393). New endurance racing replicas on the delivery include the #008 Aston Martin LMP1 from the 2009 Le Mans 24 Hours (LMM167), and Bruno Senna’s #10 Oreca AIM 01 from the 2009 Le Mans 24 Hours (LMM170).

All in all, quite a day!
