Somebody is slackin' this past week huh? Been very busy here, not complaining by any means. You guys (and a few gals) are keepin' me more than busy. Keep those emails coming. BTW, can anyone confirm the rumors that one of our main competitors is going out of business? Hearing a lot of chatter and blow out prices seem to be everywhere on their site. Wonderin' what this crowd is hearing? We have received a ton of new product over the past few weeks. Make sure you're cruising the new sections on the site. This past week alone we received over 40 new models. Let's get to some biz...
1:12


This one was sold out within a few weeks. We managed a few more cases, already down to 6 pieces. Lambo Countach LP5000S in white. Don't tell Kevin at Mint Models that I pirated his image. http://www.replicarz.com/prodinfo.asp?number=K08612W

New Senna 1:2 scale helmet

If you collect helmets, this one is worth adding. 1988 World Championship year for Senna. Workable visor and full padded interior. Look for a decal kit coming soon.

Re-Stock McLaren MP4/8


Senna's final year with McLaren, nicely done by Minichamps.

GT350R
In that same shipment from Shelby Collectibles that contained the '59 LeMans winning Aston Martin was this '66 Mustang GT350R as driven by Walt Hane. Don't be fooled by the price. These are excellent quality for the modest price tag they carry.

New Dirt Champ from GMP
If you're into the Dirt cars, GMP's latest offering is the Jimmy Caruthers Pizza Hut #55.

Lewis Hamilton 2008 World Champ edition

From the Brazil GP, different aeros and rain tires compared to the regular 2008 version. These are selling quick. http://www.replicarz.com/prodinfo.asp?number=P530081832
1:43


All I can say is check the new 1:43 section for this week. DTM, Can-Am, F1, LeMans, we received a spackling of all. Shown above is one of the special LeMans packaging Minichamps McLaren F1 GTR's. Down to just a few pieces on some of these.

Can-Am re-stocks

The '68 McLaren M6A of Mark Donohue is among some of the popular Can-Am models that were re-stocked. Some of these sold out in a matter of days. Spark doesn't reproduce all that often, so if you missed out on the last batch you're getting a 2nd chance.
Hope you all had better weather than we did this past weekend. Zero miles on the DUC. Yes I said zero. Rain was the norm for both days so it was some driving time behind the desk for me.

    If the competitor is the same one I am thinking of, they sent a letter explaining they were downsizing and moving to a smaller location = less overhead. I have found their selection to be devoid of new stuff, at least in what I collect. Both not good signs. I like you both, so hope they make it, from a consumer standpoint, competition is good! JL

    Interesting. I was hearing rumors, but no real explanations as to lack of new stock. I'll be anxious to see what happens in the coming months.
