news!!

mclaren have more models!!

this 1:18 lewis model says showcar on the box but it also says mp4/22.
the orginal showcar was the mp4/21 in 2007 colours so.....?

edit: however, i dont think they're released yet

Hmm those 1:18s look just like the MP4-21 shape to me..

Edit: It says in the rear of the boxes 'Showcar'...

not long now until the Hamilton 1st championship model is announced

lol

lmao don't count on it just yet, it'd be just as easy for hamilton to retire at china and alonso take maximum points.

it ain't over till it's over

your right, i was just kidding.

i really want Alonso to take it from Hamilton so hopefully as you said something happens

or maybe Kimi can...............

how the hell did this guy get the minichamps mp4/22 already?

[cgi.ebay.co.uk]



also, this morning he sold a signed HOT WHEELS Hamilton mp4/22 for around £380 iirc

It's not the 22, it's the MP4-21 show car

how much you guys put money to those model cars (awerage/month or something. lol)?


Also Im interested to buy something from German ebay but knowing costs of post/dhl/etc to Finland (almost 20€/item) have kept me away from getting anything yet.. :P

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

i don't drink (anymore) and have never smoked, so i indulge in model cars instead. there's no fixed monthly budget, if i have the money and want a model, i'll buy it. sometimes i can go for months without buying any, other times i'll buy a lot in a very short space of time, it's completely dependent on what model(s) i'm interested in and how much spare cash i have.

for example i've recently bought and pre-ordered a lot of Lewis models, i've already sold the 3 spare 1:43 Showcars i bought, but i will be receiving a few 1st Win models next year to also sell and hopefully make some profit, which will then probably be spent on a few of his Championship models if he wins it.

Yea. That makes sence. If my wife just wouldnt be so big fan of Jägermeister... lol

I like more to buy some old stuff for cheap price (below 20€) than new ones for bigger amount (over 40€). Btw today I ordered car of legendary "John Newhouse" (Minichamps 1/43, Williams 1998).

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

lol yeah John Newhouse. I have a Frentzen 1997 Williams 1:43, and the name on the base is just "German Driver" and his helmet is not correct, due to copyright or legal issues or something.

that Mattel MP4-22 looks sooo plastic-y, the nose looks a bit wrong too, although that may be just the slightly different angle in the 2 photos.

my advice, stick to Minichamps as much as you can, they're obviously going to piss all over the Mattel McLarens.

Mattel will also be producing the Hamilton 1st win too. I dont expect anyone to buy it though. lol

Here's some info:

1st Career Formula One Victory CANADIAN GP - JUNE 10, 2007 Chrome 2007 McLaren MP 4/22

To commemorate Lewis' first career Grand Prix victory at the Canadian GP in Montreal - June 10, 2007.

*MATTEL SPECIAL EDITION
*CHROMED version of the McLaren MP4/22
*Mounted on commemorative base
*Lewis Hamilton figurine mounted outside of the car.
*Produced by Mattel 1:18 Scale.


Limited Production of 6,000 ONLY! (Montreal was Lewis' 6th career race)

i wouldn't be surprised if they recycle the same figure they already used for the MS 52 Wins F2001 and the Kimi 1st Win McLaren.
