any link to their website (if they have one)? or is it only for actual human customers who can physically get to the store? if so, that's just racist to all us internet buyers.

human pilgrimage im afraid!


Jenson drives it like he owns it; Lewis drives it like he stole it

just got an email update from Replicarz, with a couple of pics of the new Jordan EJ11 models, one is Trulli's and the other is Alesi's 200th Race version, i'm tempted by the Alesi model, it's a great looking model IMO and marks a special landmark for Jean:

I dont see anything wrong with them. The only problem i have is that there is too many versions Schumacher's 06 car

if you don't see anything wrong with them, then you've obviously never seen a Minichamps car. buy the same model car from both companies, and compare them to each other. the Minichamps models seem like finely crafted, accurate, quality versions of the real car. the Mattel ones are just toys.

Minichamps havnt made a ferrari since 1998 so how can i compare them?

compare a 2006 McLaren from both companies, then tell me there's nothing wrong with Mattel.

OK, i see that the chrome is is a little flatter on the HW version and theres no Johnny Walker logo
But i'd still buy one if the price was right

and you may be happy with it. but the general view is that Minichamps products are superior to Mattel ones, as Mattel is a toy company that just happens to make scale race cars, Minichamps only make scale models, that's the difference.

I have Hotwheels Jordan EJ-10 and it doesnt look SO bad.. Bit too much ball-looking helmet and some minimall things but anyway. But as opposite example Hotwheels Ferrari F2001 looks really like toy.

And sure its bit embarasing for Mattel that Minichamps 1/43 cars are a lot more detailed and have less mistakes than Mattels' 1/18 cars.. :S :D

Kimi, so, Massa Fernando Sebastian is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?

Yes i do agree with you that some of the HW cars look cack, The mp4/22 looks like it was rushed into production too soon, but their ferrari f399 is stunning, in my opinion anyway

i am (pleased??!!) to say i held a Hot Wheels 1:18 Hamilton MP4-22 in my very own hands in a shop earlier

IT

IS

POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

lmao no better at all than the MP4-21 - NOT CHROME, and build quality is shite

just wait for minichamps ppl it'll piss all over it.

but i agree some hotwheels cars are great, i also had a close look at their 1:18 renault R25, and that looks every bit as good as a minichamps car

but mp4-22 sucks cock

Kimi Championship model at GPL: [www.grandprixlegends.com]

you'd think they'd wait for the appeal/court case to happen before announcing this model, it could still go to Hamilton, we don't know yet.

i have the 1:18 Brazil R25 from Mattel, it's pretty rubbish to be honest Paul, it just feels too plastic-y, not good quality. if it wasn't so cheap at £25, i wouldn't have bought it. the original price of £100 was just totally stupid. i bet if Minichamps made Renaults, you'd see how poor the Mattel one was.

and no surprise about the Mattel MP4-22 being rubbish.

£156 for a signed Lewis Mattel MP4-22 : [cgi.ebay.co.uk]

and anyone got a 1:43 2006 BMW Sauber model? looks ok, I'd like a Kubica version over Nick or JV's though:



there's the "Just Married" JV one too.
