Where have all you Minichamps collectors gone?

I take it that everybody's too busy riding their bikes!

Just to up-date you regarding my little collection,i finally bit the bullet and purchased a Corser 99!
It came from Holland,not as much as they had been fetching,but still too much for what was a £40 model!!

That now completes my my Ducati 1:12 race bike collection,i've recently purchased Laconi 04,Toseland 04,Chilli 04,Martin 04,Borciani 04 and i'm waiting for Xuas 04 to arrive!

Anybody else been buying?

[Twinfan]

I've recently got Toselands 2004 999, Reynolds 2004 BSB GSXR and Chili's 998.5.

On order are Kagayama's 2004 and 2005 bikes, plus Rossi's 125 and 250.

[KeefyB]

Yep,it'll soon be my birthday,so on the list will be JT's '04 bike,then either Martins or Borciani's DFX bikes.

Got JT 04 myself.. and of course already pre-ordered the xerox 05.. looks like they could have it available before year end.. but I don't believe it..as I did wait 6 months after the expected date for Valentino Honda Valencia replica...

Totally agree,what minichamps give as release dates don't normally happen,they're usually at least 6 months out!!
Glad you boys are building your collections,it had gone that quiet i thought i was on my own!!
Is anybody searching for a rare model that's been released awhile ago?

Basylissboy has now got so many, that he's just had to move to a bigger house to keep them in!

That's it, it's started you're getting into 999s - it will be a real one soon.

I'm hoping to get one of the Manx Nortons when they come out.


Where do you order them from?

... couldn't resist adding the 2002 998R as Troy 'No 1' plate machine

I've talked Ali into letting me have two more display cases,the house will be over-run with them if they release many more!!
I may have the odd model 999,but you know as well as i do,i will NEVER own a real one!!!
Now a V4,that's another story!!

I get some of my models from Trax,the guys name is Paul,he's very helpfull,the number is 01582477877.
