View Full Version : New minichamp thread for baylissboy
there you go mate, your computer can have a rest now, I bet you are sweating over the Hodgson, i hope it doesnt go up too much or i will pull the plug on my one from Mr S.
Must say I'm surprised at the price already!
Last few hours is where it'll all change again I guess..
yep thats when people go into bidding frenzy.

Unless they reckon it's hit its peak already...
nope theres 3 of you on here who quite blatantly want 1 so it will go up and up
have a look at the feedback of thewheeliekid1000 on his previous items he has bought 3 of the bayliss 2000 models in the past month alone,all from nbentley16. could be worth keeping a eye out as they could be coming up on ebay again soon.
i wont be bidding for the ebay one, letting BB go for that one.

I must admit i put in a very high bid on it just to make sure i got it,i didn't think it would reach £200 so quickly! To be honest,if it goes much higher i'll lose it!!:sniff:
I think if another Corser or Bostrom came up i'd bid up to what it took to get it!! If i get the Hodgson 2000,those two would be the only ones i'd need to complete the collection(of releases to date)!!
Thanks for the new thread too!! It was taking ages to get on the old one!!:lol:

This may be a really stupid question, but what happens if they do another run of the Corser or Bostrum bikes?
They've just done another run of '99 Foggy bikes. Are the latest foggy bikes different in any way?
Is there a difinitive list of the models released with the numbers that were produced?
Twinfan
23-Apr-2005, 16:57
If they re-release the early bikes it'll bomb the prices. I reckon they'll still be worth a little bit more as they're the original run, but the prices will collapse.
I've never seen a list of the production numbers, but all the models produced and code numbers etc are on line at www.minichamps.de.
Just kicked off my collection today,these two turned up this morning,very pleased with them,very detailed.Not minichamps though,they are made by 'Newray' and are 1:12...
baylissboy
23-Apr-2005, 17:48
Twinfan's right,if they do re-release the early ones then the prices would crash!
Luckily i've only really paid big money for the Hodgson 2000(if i win it)!! I've bought all my other models for RRP or less,along the way!
There's no sign of Minichamps doing this though,so i don't think i'll be a problem,hope not anyway!
Still on the look out for the Bostrom & Corser models,no luck yet,but to be honest,i'll need alittle time to get over paying £200 for the Hodgson bike!!:lol:
Twinfan
23-Apr-2005, 19:33
The quality of those NewRay models looks OK, not up to Minichamps though. How much are they?
Paid £7.50 for the desmosedici and £22.00 for the fila,off fleabay...:D
i doubt they will re release corser or bayliss as they werent that a big a name back then unlike the foggy which is the last title bike he rode.
think i'll be keeping a eye on ebay for a while to see how high these bikes are going for now, £510 for a corser is crazy
bb what collection is it you have, all the wsb ducatis or all the ducatis released, just me being nosy now ???
bad news guys or good news depending on which way you look at it but according to the minichamps website theres a 99 corser out in june 05
keep your cash in your pockets
that is bad news, i like the fact some of these models are rare. Whats next another run of Bostroms/Bayliss/Hodgsons?
yeah i like the fact i ahve the full set of 2000 motogp bikes, they were the first set along with the ducati team, but why buy a corser when you can have a foogy, if i'd known then what i know now it'd be a different story
think i'd better get myself a 2002 hodgy to complete his full line up so far too
i see theres a reynolds wsbk 47 on ebay for 129.99 buy it now price, good or nooo
its got broken bits though, worth paying just a bit more for a perfect one.
Although depends how well they have been fixed.
yeah i saw that, i wouldnt pay it as it ahs no relevance to my collections
wahta re you collecting adam, all of them by any chance ???

The Corser 1999 that minichamps are releasing this year is the 1:6 scale, not the 1:12 ;)
i see theres a reynolds wsbk 47 on ebay for 129.99 buy it now price, good or nooo
It's a touch more than I paid for mine, but mine is mint and undamaged (as far as I can see). I wouldn't worry to much about the damage if it was nearer £100...
what a re you collecting adam, all of them by any chance ???
He's after most things, yes :lol: He's got all the Rossi bikes plus quite a few other odds and sods...
I will eventually get the Bayliss/Bostrom/Corser 1999 and hodgson 2000.
just have to wait for them to pop up.
Katoh's i like, so they are on the list. i will just plod on through the range and see whats what. but I will try and get the rarer ones first before the prices go up even higher.
im surprised at the kato 03 model still being £80, i know he wasnt everyones first choice but he was going to be rossi's main rival that year and they sold out as soon as they were released
good luck in getting the 3 rare ones, i cant afford to join in with you on that competition but think i may start getting some of the 01 models just in case they start going up in price even though i doubt they will
the 3 you are after are only rare becuase nobody wanted them at the time so they didnt produce so many of them :lol:
Twinfan
23-Apr-2005, 23:48
The Katoh RCV. I wonder who has one of those... ;)
mmmm i wonder
the fortuna nsr thats on ebay looks better, the telefonica rep looks crap
Twinfan
24-Apr-2005, 10:40
Not keen on the Fortuna bike but look at the price! There's another at £199 in Germany.
baylissboy
24-Apr-2005, 12:57
deej,i'm collecting all the Ducati 996 shape race bikes,that's BSB & WSB!!
When they stop releasing them,i'll move to Ducati 999 race bikes & Ducati Moto GP,if i'm not broke or divorced!!:lol:
bb, how many do you have now? might be worth getting Hodgsons and Toselands 999 winners now, you will have to order Toselands, coming out this year. It will be his only winner the way he is going.
Twinfan
24-Apr-2005, 17:50
It will be his only winner the way he is going
Too true!!!
I'll be getting one of those as the missus loves the Fila 999.
yeh i have one on order, I have the Hodgson 2003 bike, cant stand him and dont like the 999 but it is a winner. saying that the model looks better than the real thing, it looks very nice on the shelves with the other bikes.
looking forward to getting the reynolds 2000. should be about 10 days.
Twinfan
24-Apr-2005, 19:24
Just got a Hodgson 2000 - woohoo! Pick it up tomorrow! Got outbid on eBay for one in the US, so I'm getting a localish one in the UK. Reasonable price too! Collection will be complete!
I've got to send my 2003 Shakey Byrne back though because it doesn't stand up properly on the paddock stand. Hopefully the shop I bought it from has another one in stock. Should have them all on display by the middle of the week.
:D
Well done matey, how much did you pay? where did you get it?
i bet Baylissboy is sweating now, not long to go.
Twinfan
24-Apr-2005, 20:16
Can't say where I got it just yet, but I'll spill the beans after I've got it. I'm paying £160. What do you reckon - fair price?
nop way too much. lol. cant say, very secretive hey. £160 sounds good, that is what i would like to pay for one.
Twinfan
24-Apr-2005, 21:20
That's what I thought. I set myself a limit of £150, but for the sake of a tenner I had to go for it!
Twinfan
24-Apr-2005, 21:47
Congratulations Baylissboy - you got the Hodgy for £200 :)
You getting that one off Mr_S then Adam?
fair play boys, i wouldnt go any higher than 200 notes for a hodgy one and im a fan of his. its worth having for ghe complete bsb title set mind you
at least the motogp set shoudl be easier to collect, what with only 4 bikes last year and 3 this year, £120 tops lovely jubbly !!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope Mr S's comes with the box? or else I will be on the hunt again.
Well done bb.
baylissboy
24-Apr-2005, 23:20
Thanks boys,not much happened at the end,quite glad really as my bid was only £2 higher than the price i finally won it for!!
Now on to the Corser 99 & Bostrom 2000!! That will complete the collection(releases to date)!!
I'm going to collect any other 998's as they come out,don't want to make the same mistake again!!
Going to make a start on 999 race bikes & Moto GP too!!:cool:
I was wondering if the snipers would appear...
Pics of packaging and bike in the box for Adam.
Not taking it out ever again now..
Photo in other thread was taken on day of posting, and I'm now fearful of taking it out of the box in case I drop it or snap something.

Jasper did you out bid me on the american one:mad:
baylissboy
25-Apr-2005, 09:57
Jasper,how much do you want for that old Bostrom that you've got lurking around?:D
Adam,American one? How what's that about,how much did that go for?
Twinfan
25-Apr-2005, 10:35
There was a Hodgy in the US for sale on eBay - auction ended last night. I think it went for around £170, with postage on top of that. I was bidding on it, but managed to source the one I've agreed to buy so I dipped out.
baylissboy
25-Apr-2005, 11:20
OK boys,don't get too excited,but i think i may have located a Bayliss 2000 & a Bostrom 2000!!!
I don't know how much they're going to come for or whether they are definatly available,the guy's going to check when he gets in!!
He's pretty certain that he's got them though!!
As you know,i've got the Bayliss so i don't need it,but i would be willing to purchase it & offer it to one of you guys,or maybe swop it(Jasper are you listening,that Bostrom & test bike sounds good to me)!!
As long as i end up with the Bostrom i don't really mind!!
Any thoughts?:cool:

Trouble is everybody follows ebay & other such sites so they all know what money they're doing,so there's no bargains to be had anymore!!:sniff:
Nevermind,as long as it keeps me busy!!:lol:
Don't really know what to do about the ones i've tracked down,i don't think they'll cone cheap & i only really need the Bostrom,suppose i could buy them both & put the Bayliss on the bay to recover some of the purchase costs,if nobody on here wants to do some sort of deal!!
Twinfan
25-Apr-2005, 14:05
Adam may be up for the Bayliss? It's not something I'm after. Wouldn't mind a 2000 Fogarty though if the same seller has one?

Nice one :)
Found a 2000 foggy on a website for sale at £39.99.
Actually correction it was 1999......
bb, count me in for the Bayliss, depending the cost though, but really interested.
Adam,sorry yes it was me!And yes,i now have Two.Baylissboy,you get me a Bayliss 2000 and i'm sure we can do a deal on the Bostrom.Don't know about the test bike,'cos i haven't got it yet!!It not be worth anything!!
Adam,if i don't need the Hodgson,you can have first refusal,if BB has one now!;)
you greedy bugger, thought that was mine last night. i now have to pay more for one.:P
I only got it to fund a Bayliss!!Sorry!:(
no worries mate, only kidding.
adam if you want a hodgson you can have one of a mate of mines for a decent offer,ive talked him into selling it for you as hes not that into his bikes anymore
i may also be able to get the 2000 reynolds and a foggy 2000 too if the moneys right, all with boxes and never seen the light and he may also have the hodgson 2003 title bike but i dont know what that ones worth
send me your offers for the models and i'll see what i can do for you boys

Deej - I've U2U'd you about the Foggy 2000.
Twinfan
25-Apr-2005, 20:54
Another Hodgson 2000 on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=37117&item=6957862956&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW
RGV.250.p's proxy bid's probably £200 again, like last time, be interesting to see how high that one gets.
I hate it when there are so many days left on an item, im not one for waiting. I now have a Hodgson. many thanks deej really kind of you. Just bought one off Mr S. i already have Hodgsons 2003 bike, and have a reynolds 2000 and a Hodgson 2001 coming from Australia, cost me £100 including postage for both models. lucky me hey. i would have gone for the Foggy but let TF have it, another will come up. I would like a Hodgson 2002 then i will have all his.
Thanks again deej. Just out of intrest what would your mate take for the Hodgy 2000? u2u me if you dont mind.
I got me a '99 Foggy bike last night and just bought a red Monster.Neither of them the rarest in the world but just what I need for my collection.
Next up is either a 2003 Shakey Monstermob,(quite a few on Fleabay)or a Chili bike.
I keep seeing these 'rare'Imola bikes,so rare there is always one for sale somewhere!;)
Recently missed out on an '03 PSG-1 Chili,although Ive heard the '04 998.5 bike will be out soon.Hmmmm.............!
Cant wait for the 999's,it would be great to get Martin,McCoy and JT's bikes.
Thank gawd for an understanding wife!
baylissboy
25-Apr-2005, 23:01
deej,i'm interested in the Hodgson 2003 bike,can you tell me how much your mate wants for it?
I'm moving into 999's now that the 996/998 collection is nearly complete!:roll:
Not got any answers on the Bayliss 2000 or the Bostrom 2000,but i'll let you all know as soon as i do!!
Sorry Adam,but jasper's been promised first refusal on the Bayliss,he's been begging me to swop the one i've already got for ages!!:cool:
Thats ok mate, keep me in mind if you find another please.
