more minichamps talk
 

trax have today debited my account for £29.99 for a model on back order and im keeping my fingers crossed its the valencia rep rossi

im like a kid waiting for xmas to come now as ive been waiting nearly 18 months for it now

has anyone else got the valencia rep yet ???

Hmmm - i've got one on order too but it was £39.99 not 29.99. Also got Reynolds GSXR on order too which is also be very close. I'm really looking forward to the Hailwood MV 500 in presentation box.

Ain't we sad :D

I think Adam has a Valencia rep on order. I'm waiting for the Toseland Fila which is due next month, which is the first of about 8 I have on pre-order :D

ziggi - the Reynolds rep isn't out until December ;)

Just managed to get a good example of Bayliss's 2001 imola 996R on ebay to complete a small set I'm building. This collecting gets addictive doesn't it?

Certainly does!

Twinfan - I got an email from grandprixlegends saying the reynolds bike was imminent and certainly before christmas. They have seen the pre-prod models apparently.

I've now got:

Bayliss 2001 #21
Reynolds 2001 #3
Rossi Mugello wet tyres NSR #46
Hodgson 2003 #100
Byrne 2003 #4
Rossi 2004 #46
Sheene 1975 #7

justa few more pints to add


no 1: dont believe a word gpl say about release dates, its a sales pitch and they are never accurate

no 2: trax sent out £10 vouchers to all long standing customers who bought the sheene rep at the original price of all the classics at £49.99 only 4 everyone else to sell them at £39.99 so thats why mines only 29.99

no 3: where can i get a decent wall mounted cabinet that will hold 8 -12 minichamps models as i will have the full rossi set when the valencia arrives

no 4: adam how are you and the baby doing ??

no 5: i dont think reynolds is out until next year

ziggi:

From the horses mouth, it's December this year for the Reynolds. Have a browse on this site:
