Long lost 1:43 Minichamps















We scored some previously sold out World Champion models from our European source.
'81 Brabham Neslon Piquet sold out in just a few weeks when it was originally released.
Also in this batch is 2006 Renault Alonso and 1998 McLaren of Hakkinen. These won't last long, if you missed them first time around then get your you know what in gear and get an order in.
















In that same batch of goodies was a bunch of older 1:43 Senna releases including several that came in the "Senninha" packaging. 1985 and 1987 Lotus among them. These sold out in just a few short weeks. Cruise the 1:43 Senna category to see all current offerings.

A good weeekend to all.

1958 Belond Special















Just got some incredible photos of the '58 Belond Jimmy Bryan Indy winner from our friend Tjeu. Many of you know his work, in my opinion one of the worlds best photographers of model cars. Big thank you to Bill Murchison who turned me on to his work a while back.
If you haven't pre-ordered, now is the time. We are only producing 999 pieces. The model is in production and we should be landing it in September.

Back in the saddle.....
















Had a great trip to Indy, awesome weather and of course the Moto GP atmosphere is like no other.
Just getting up to speed on what I missed while away. Low and behold we got this one in last week.
My prediction is this one will be Spark's best selling 1:43 in the USA for 2012. These are flying out of here, no snoozing on this one.
