TGIF......

Hey gang,
Happy Friday. I was planning to work tomorrow and
shoot a new video, but with our Boston Bruins winning
the Stanley Cup this past week, we are headed to Boston
today so we can help with the celebration parade on Saturday.


It's been 39 years since our last one. Figured I
better enjoy it and take part in the festivities.

OK, on to a little biz.

I've been leaking info that Replicarz will have our
own line of models. Well, here's our first announcement.
1:18 So-Cal Belly Tank Land Speed Car
Yes Precision Miniatures produced this one several
years ago, and yes ours is being produced from the
same tooling but with some upgraded parts and technology.
Limited edition of just 1,002. Pre-order is the only way
to guarantee that you get one. Have you seen what the
original release sells for on ebay? Stay tuned, our next
announcement will come shortly.

A new F40 version from Mattel Elite.


Many of you know that once upon a time I was not
a fan of Mattel Elite's. Well that has all changed in the
last year or so. They are producing some incredible
quality and the price is still right around a hundred bux.
Now you guys know that you don't get much these days
for a hundy. And to boot, it's a Ferrari and it's a LeMans
version. Check it out if this fits your collecting theme.


New 1:18 from BBR



The Ferrari 458 Italia Challenge and the 599 GTO
both arrived this week. These are both sealed body
designs (of which I am not a fan) but they look great.
Click on the image to see these and all the new 1:18's
we received in this week.

New Spark shipment

Well, the Spark shipment was not as big as we thought
but still some great new releases. Among them is
the ultra cool 1934 Voisin Aerosport. These classic
street cars have been selling out almost immediately
and this one will be no exception. If this kind of subject
matter tickles your button, then don't snooze on this one.


OK, that's it for now. I'm off to Boston shortly.
Maybe a blog video from the parade tomorrow?
Think they will let me drink champagne out of the cup?

Hope everyone has a great weekend.
And Happy Fathers Day to all you dads.
