I'm not dead....

Contrary to what some of you may have heard, I am still alive. The last 3 weeks have been an absolute blur. Thanks to all our good customers we have been extremely busy with holiday orders. Working some crazy hours but tiz the season.....
Preferred Buyers be on the look out for the Braking Point Newsletter, it will be in your mailbox any day now. Some "members only" items this month so check 'em out.
Also, our winter edition full size master catalog is also in the mail this week, so be on the look out for this as well.
OK, we have some catching up to do, so I'll give you the latest/greatest and then get back at ya shortly for some of the things from the last few weeks.

If you pre-ordered then yours is on the way to you. If you didn't, then get
your order in now so you get one out of the next shipment scheduled for December.
http://www.replicarz.com/prodinfo.asp?number=CMC071

In the same shipment, 3 more new releases from CMC. It has been unheard of
to receive this many new releases at one time from them. But they are way
behind in their production schedule so hopefully this means they are back on track.

upon us, what better way to buy for a friend or loved one than with
a Replicarz/Sport Craft gift card:
Hopefully we will see some sun tomorrow and maybe sneak in a late
season ride or a round of golf on my day off......MaC
Till next time.....

OK, on to biz....the orders are rolling in for 2009 F1 World Champ Jenson Button. My advice is don't wait to place your orders. No images yet of the actual models, and most likely we won't see either the 1:43 or the 1:18 till after the Holidays. Better safe than sorry when it comes to F1 Champions.
