Mr Lobster Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Those Minichamps 917K models do look like 1:12. On the sheet I have it states the only 1:12 to be a handful of road cars and Williams F1 car. Odd. Junkman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercrocker Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Please refrain from giving me likes. I'm not doing anything special here, only my civic duty. In which case I have thanked you instead. Despite my lurking on here I have no internet interest and do not see this stuff elsewhere....

Junkman Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Heller celebrates 60 years of continued bankruptcy. That's an HY low loader on the top shelf. They shared the stand with Zvezda, so there seems to be a cooperation going on. The good news is the Estafettes were only delayed, not scrapped. R8 RMC is a welcome reissue. pshome and Laseraligningfoofooflanges 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split_Pin Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 Wow as always. Very pleased to see Wiking still going. They were my awakening in the 1980s tjat there was a world outside of Corgi Juniors. Also as always, its the Norev products that I'm drawn to. Thanks for sharing.

Junkman Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 OTTO and GT Spirit are no shows this yearWe know that OTTO is in meltdown mode, but the absence of GT Spirit is weird. Further news: Jada announced a 1/24 ECTO 1, but didn't bring a sample. Greenlight announced Christine, Dennis's Charger, Buddy's Camaro, B.A's '83 Vandura and Face's '84 Corvette, all in 1/24 scale. There might be further news once the guys hit their hotels. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Lobster Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 In terms of run out of money / not making enough? Wouldn't be a massive surprise as they've pretty much obliterated all their trade custom by selling direct to retail at trade price or lower. Product itself is decent enough but it's just not worth stocking these days. They should have done so well with Solido too but something appears to have gone wrong there. When we can get the product its good and its popular. But thanks to UK importer its also way too expensive - 1:43s in particular - and importer seems reluctant to actually import it. Its a shame because the 1:18 Solido range is good and should have complemented the Otto range nicely. I won't even get started on GT Spirit...

Junkman Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 But thanks to UK importer its also way too expensive... I have no idea what those UK importers are there for. Round2 et al are internationally marketed by a company in Chicago, which shows two UK importers on their website. I have yet to see any merchandise they are supposedly representing, despite I wouldn't buy it anyway, because their price ideas are a bit on the funny side. Hence I order anything from abroad and I do mean anything. The inherent problem though is that idiotic distributors can be the death of a manufacturer, considering how thin the financial blanket is for most. I sent that Chicagoan company an email describing the situation in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
