OK, How about Dennis Anderson and his motorized La-Z-Boy? Definitely should not be drinking and driving in one of these.
Hope you all have a good weekend!

Happy Monday

24 degrees this morning on my way to work. We are still enjoying the fall foliage along with some fresh snow in the mts. Rumor has it that Killington will open this week. I will be playing hooky for opening day!


1:12



Long awaited from Autoart, the 1955 Jag D-Type as driven to victory at the 24 hours of LeMans by Hawthorn and Bueb. Superb detail and sure to fill a void in many 1:12 collections.

New 1:24 Franklin Mint

New wave of Franklin Mint just in, including this Elvis Presley 427 Cobra version. You can see all the latest 1:24 arrivals here:
Spark Re-Stocks

One of the few times that Spark has reproduced. These were all quick sell outs, so if you missed any of these first time around you're getting a 2nd chance. http://www.replicarz.com/products.asp?dept=665
All for now....
Have a good one!

new website

FYI:
We are launching another new website under the Replicarz umbrella
http://www.closeoutdiecast.com

If you get a chance check it out. This is where we will be featuring only items that are close outs (obviously) and final or low stock items. If you're a bargain hunter, put this one on your favorites. Crazy low prices on first quality models. We will be adding more models on a regular basis, so stop by often. For a limited time, followers of my blog will receive a 10% discount off the already low prices shown. Just use promo code "blog" to receive the discount. To boot, the first 20 orders will get a free gift. No I'm not giving any hints, but who doesn't like freebies? If you're among the first 5 orders we receive, on top of the freebie you'll also receive a special little something from my personal stash. So what are you waiting for? Pop over and check it out!

Arriving next week

Just got the word that we will receive next week from Minichamps the 1978 Lotus 79 World Championship car of Mario Andretti and team mate Ronnie Peterson. In normal Minichamps "better late than never" fashion, we have been waiting almost 4 years from the initial announcement. The good news, no price increase and the model does have a removable engine bonnet to show the motor detail. If you have a pre-order in, we will be shipping ASAP. If you don't, get your order in now as we won't have much excess stock after filling all our pre-orders.
Word is that we will not be able to re-stock this one till after Christmas, so if this one is on your wish list then act now. Pics look good!

Look what I got today....

Just like all of you, I'm like a little kid when UPS shows up every day. Today, totally out of the blue I received one of the first Ferrari 250 Testarossa's off the assembly line from CMC. This one will make your head spin when you see the detail. By far, the best model they have produced to date. 1,653 individual pieces, hand assembled to produce a truly stunning die cast model. Most likely you are looking at the 1:18 scale model of the year!


Considered by many as the sexiest Ferrari ever produced.....


Removable hood secured with leather straps, rear bonnet has stainless steel prop.


Fully wired and plumbed V12 engine. The only thing it won't do is fire!


Stainless steel gas tank, spare tire secured with leather straps


Leather seats, authentic gauge cluster with all wiring, glass faced speedo and tach....


Complete under-chassis detail including real copper brake lines and metal drive-line components.
Bottom line, this one will not disappoint! If you collect 1:18 Ferrari's, without a doubt you need to make room for this one. This is true museum quality stuff at a fraction of the cost.
I have not heard a definite ship date from them yet, most likely 30-45 days out. If you haven't pre-ordered now is the time to get your order in. These will be in short supply and big demand for the first few months after the initial release.
Till next time....

From last weeks "new" arrivals, some limited editions that won't be around long. For the 1:18 crowd: The Ferrari F430 boat by BBR, we are down to just 6 pieces left. No re-stock available on this one. Very cool piece!


http://www.replicarz.com/prodinfo.asp?number=BBRF001

Also from BBR, Ferrari F430 GT test car. Limited edition of 59 pieces. Huh, 59 pieces? That's what I call a limited edition.

http://www.replicarz.com/prodinfo.asp?number=BBR1806DR

Minichamps 1971 Mercedes 300 SEL, the past releases in this series have sold out quickly. These are some of the few early DTM cars produced in 1:18 scale.

Hailwood Ducati 900SS
Reproduction, one of the best selling race bikes all time. 1:12 by Minichamps


http://www.replicarz.com/prodinfo.asp?number=P122781212

1:43 HPI
Two new versions of the Porsche GT1, these are the FIA GT versions from 1998. HPI is producing some of the best 1:43 on the market. They have found their niche with opening features and detailed engines, something you don't see veruy often on 1:43 models.


http://www.replicarz.com/prodinfo.asp?number=HP8093



http://www.replicarz.com/prodinfo.asp?number=HP8095

Nigel Mansell 1985 Williams F1
Minichamps continues their assault on the classic F1 market. These are excellent quality and very fairly priced. No other manufacturer produces such a broad range of current and vintage F1 in 1:43.

TGIF

Tons of 1:43 new arrivals, including some of the 2009 LeMans versions. The link below will bring you directly to the "new 1:43 " category for this week. The 2009 Peugeot's and the Aston Martin's look incredible.


http://www.replicarz.com/products.asp?dept=665

Redline 1:43 Grand Prix cars are gaining popularity. These are the top of the line for ready builts. We just received the 1974 B3 Ferrari Spain GP winner of Nicki Lauda.


http://www.replicarz.com/prodinfo.asp?number=RM162

Also, the 1974 Nurburgring winner of Regazzoni


http://www.replicarz.com/prodinfo.asp?number=RM163

Lotus 25 of Mike Hailwood. This is one of the few GP models we have seen so far of Hailwood, very nicely done by Spark.

SCX digital F1 slot car set
OK, if you've been thinkin' about a slot car track then you should take us up on our deal of the day. Complete set including three F1 cars and everything you need to get back into the hobby that pretty much all of us enjoyed as kids. The digital age brings us passing, pit stops with re-fueling, and posted lap times. The digital sets allow for up to 8 cars to run on a 2 lane track. Cool stuff for sure!


http://www.replicarz.com/prodinfo.asp?number=SCX10080

And if by chance you're already a slot car junkie, cruise our misc. section to see the new car and accessories for this week. Shown is the Ninco Ford GT race version


http://www.replicarz.com/products.asp?dept=666

That's about it for this week. Fall is upon us here in New England, the number of riding days are dwindling so weather permitting I'll be bustin' out some miles this weekend.
Hope you all have a good one!
