September Announcements and Releases

[malscar]

William is a bit slow this month.:whip::p

Has anyone checked out the announcements listed on the main site today. Some very nice BRL cars, the 1/18 Mothers car etc. Oh my poor wallet.

[<Jonboy>]

what will the decal sheet contain on the white falcon?

[VE II]

some cool new announcements. so looks like 2011 prices will be $225.
the HJ sandman looks great

[lachlan]

Nice models, but unfortunately starting to price me out of my 1:43 collection :( I will have to start choosing more wisely. Just wish my pay was going up as fast as model cars :)

[William Hall]

What! No Holden Decals!? I'm not going to get it anymore :p (jks)
Thanks for that william - great innovative idea from biante

[Tumbo]

I think the 1/43 '84 bathurst winning twin set is going to be a popular one

[AmonFan]

Ask, and you shall receive... http://www.biante.com.au/product_24067.htm

Im a bit dissapointed there are no Hall and Bond decals in that bunch :p Could have produced our 2011 Wildcard entry....

[00lowndes]

So we can make a code 3 as long as it's a Biante model with ford only sponsorship.

[00lowndes]

Seeing this has been done in 1:64 and now the 1:43 is coming. How long before we see the 1:18 version???????????????????//

[The real OZ GP]

Reckon I might get the shop logo done on some decal sheet , coupled with everything else on the included sheet the white FG will make a pretty smart promo in the window.

[HQGTS74]

The Valencia Orange Van looks great!!

[My Element]

they all look good to me, ill be getting them all apart from the white falcon and the mother one. I cant have everything

[William Hall]

You're a superstar Will :cool: Cheers for that. Gonna try get the 86 Donington VK Commodore :)

[moxo]

A white car with a decal sheet?


ABOUT FREAKING TIME!!!!!!

That's awesome. AWESOME!

Someone's been calling for that for years. Who was that?




Moxo (that's who!)

[Sandman77]

ooo So many great cars:)
or all the teams go to biante
Sounds like a good idea:):)

[lachlan]

Decals :rolleyes: I thought we would be supplyed with our own Tampo Pad printers :( :D

[YRI55K]

gunna have to get a white FG to go with the black 1 i'll be getting....

[SWRT]

Love the Bond/Gibson 1978 Ford Cobra 1/43 announcement.

[SDK]

Yeh, great to post the news letter here, thanks.
The 1:43 EH is little surprise. As a guess, Trax must have pumped out 50,000+ closed body versions, albeit first release was way back in 1990. More recently they had a couple of their Opal releases which have opening doors, boot & hood. These have gone well on the secondary market. Be interesting to see Biante release numbers, & how the Biante version compares against Trax. Hell of alot of 1:43 EH's floating around though.

i was going to say that you can't be right, but actually, you are. there would be 53,600 EH sedans produced by Trax as of Dec 2008.

[Pug205]

I notice there is no Webb MOTHER Falcon in 1:64? Is there a chance it might appear in the future or is it a certain no go?

[fatty]

That was great William. Thank you. Any chance forum members could have a hard copy posted out?;) Hint Hint.

[spiderken17]

http://www.biante.com.au/product_24066.htm Booyah!
Already ordered mine.

[<Jonboy>]

William/Chris, so one could plan the spending of beer vouchers, can you give a rough eta of the 2010 Jim Beam Cars and Mother car?

[Chris Roche]

El Cheapo - Brock / Moffat should be October, Grice car next year I would say. That way allowing time between the two.

[El Cheapo]

[Chris Roche]

I am in China working at factory making sure these cars are being made!! Meeting still going on in other room working out how still to make it happen! Its 7.15pm in China and they are still working and they started at 8.30am today!
Paint department working 24 hours to make it happen, Decal Factory was working 24 hours to print the decals for this week!
Its all system go!

[00lowndes]

Geez. Hope this doesn't cost us more Working 24 Hr an all!!!

[VE II]

Hi Chris.

Very exciting re the BFs. From what you have said earlier, these cars will be an even higher level of detail then the FGs. Are we able to see any pics in the biante showroom?
Hopefully you guys can make an 07 Van Gisbergen one so that I can have an excuse to get one. ;)

Matt

[Pug205]

Sounds impressive Chris. It must be quite a sight seeing your work coming together and being made like that!

[Chris Roche]

Its going to cost someone if they don't deliver my models, as I been sitting here all week!

[MP4/22]

MP4/22 - not early, I am holding the 2007 1:18th in my hand now! very good looking model!

Chris

You sicken me with your taunting :p

[spiderken17]

Bring on the DJR cars! I have to spend my tax return on something and i'd rather have them on my shelf than on my watchlist.

[Chris Roche]

Pug - its great watching them make it, but I want then now, not tmmrw as such!! Plenty going on, plenty being made!!

Showroom will be updated once all samples arrive in!

[00lowndes]

So any other new news you can tell us Chris. Would love to hear the Brock VOLVO is in the pipeline

[wazza002]

Say Chris is it true that biante are not doing anymore Brock Cars or not thank you

[Chris Roche]

Brock Volvo - mid next year! If we can get better numbers!
Wazza - I have answered this before, we will still be making those cars. Like the one due next month which was co driven by Mr Allan Moffat! We have the orrginal collection and I am sure over many years, will be adding to it! We just announced the VK twin sets, just had some 64th come out! what else can I say on this!

[XU-123]

Good Q wazza. I'd like to know that as well.
If Biante are not making any Brocks at all , I'll pick up the CC versions
as they come out.
I'd prefer to buy Biante , but will buy CC if that's all thats available.

[smokey_dj]

Chris have you got an order no# for the brock volvo i had no idea it was up for order to determine no#

[MP4/22]

(Cough) Some more A9X's (Cough)

Sounds good Chris can't wait to see the Brock Volvo, do you think you will do a Jimmy Richards one as well pretty please. :D

[Chris Roche]

A9X - unsure on this topic of car right now! Know we have made some before, and maybe later on! Unsure! Who knows! Plenty of cars to make in the world!

[MP4/22]

(Cough) Dolomite (cough):rolleyes2:

[00lowndes]

Chris have you got an order no# for the brock volvo i had no idea it was up for order to determine no#

Me too Smokey. I hadn't heard anything bout this car till now. Hopefully we can get enough number to get it made. While we are at it what about the Vaxhaull Vectra from 1997 i think it was. Correct me if i'm wrong

[Pug205]

Forget the Brock Volvo! how are the pre order numbers going for the 1985 Bowe/Francevic??? Does it look like it will be a made?

[MP4/22]

He drove a Volvo?? details??

[Chris Roche]

Of course ! Will find number and post it! Tell your shops to place their orders!

[smokey_dj]

cheers chris

only reason i asked is my dealer wont order a car without the no# so soon as i have that my order will be in thank you for replying so quickly

[00lowndes]

Have order forms been sent out???. My guy hasn't told me it was coming yet.

[rex555]

(Cough) Dolomite (cough):rolleyes2:

?I feel sure that you could pick up a 1:1 for less than $215? ;)

[VE II]

Chris are we talking 1:18 volvo? Or is this a 1:43 resin?

I'm sure someone on here would love to see a Rothman's WTCC VL ;)

[spiderken17]

Forget the Brock Volvo! how are the pre order numbers going for the 1985 Bowe/Francevic??? Does it look like it will be a made?

I agree with Pug, bring on the Francevic Ovlov.

[MP4/22]

?I feel sure that you could pick up a 1:1 for less than $215? ;)

Will Bob Morris Sign it for me???

[Chris Roche]

Sorry, have it all wrong, was thinking of A88593 #55 from 1985!

Its late and I still at factory working waiting on answers!

[VE II]

Sorry, have it all wrong, was thinking of A88593 #55 from 1985!

Too late Chris - you have all our hopes up! Looks like biante will have to make a Brock version as well now! :D:D

[Chris Roche]

Ve - will see what we can do, but need everyones else to get the first one made! If we cake this one, then second one will not be made!

[00lowndes]

So how close are the numbers?? To getting it made

[Chris Roche]

long way, need a good another 500/ 600 plus easy!!

[00lowndes]

Not looking good for the Brock car then are we.

[Chris Roche]

Only time will tell!! we need a better sample of the first one, which will help build numbers well. Plenty of time yet!

[Pug205]

Hmmm hope the numbers improve on the Volvo. I have my name down for one. We need this kind of variety in Australian Touring Car models to keep this hobby fresh IMO

[Tumbo]

I'm sure someone on here would love to see a Rothman's WTCC VL ;)

yes..............yes yes yes yes yes........................yes yes yes :D ohhhhh pretty pretty please.................i have a big empty space waiting for one LOL

[rex555]

Will Bob Morris Sign it for me???

He seems like a nice guy...............probably :D

[El Cheapo]

Brock Volvo - mid next year! If we can get better numbers!

Extremely cool :D I've got myself down for the Rickard Rydell BTCC version, and am about to put myself down for the Brock one too :) Hopefully a swathe of others do the same....

[<Jonboy>]

Jonboy, beer money, should be called model money!!
October for sure!beer vouchers are what is left over after the models have been bought, and as such are few and far between, and need to be spent wisely when you know models will need to be paid for in the near future...

So 1:18 2010 #17 & #18 in October then, and the Mother November-ish...?

[VC SL/E]

has the Brock version been announced in the models just added section, or you just putting your name down at a shop in hope they announce it? Would love one too

[2QUIETLYCOLLECTATWORK]

Add me to that particular list

[My Element]

me to for the brock volvo, and product number please so i can order 2

[fatty]

I'd be interested in a Brock Volvo but haven't seen or heard anything about it. The only Volvo I know of is the Francevic/Bowe 85 Bathurst which I have put my name down for.

[fatty]

Ve - will see what we can do, but need everyones else to get the first one made! If we cake this one, then second one will not be made!Mmmmm Cake.

[VE II]

Sorry, have it all wrong, was thinking of A88593 #55 from 1985!

Its late and I still at factory working waiting on answers!

No Brock yet... but it must be on Biante's mind - provided the Bowe Volvo sells - Chris says they need a 500-600 more orders....

[00lowndes]

Sorry, have it all wrong, was thinking of A88593 #55 from 1985!

Its late and I still at factory working waiting on answers!

Hi Guys

No Brock Volvo at this stage. This is what Chris was saying is due mid next year. It's the Francevic/Bowe Volvo.

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg105/00lowndes/ A88593.jpg

This is also in the pipline from Autoart

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg105/00lowndes/ AA89594_1.jpg

So hopefully we will see this in the future

[El Cheapo]

lol Dave, Roche mentioned a "Brock Volvo", the only one I'm pretty sure is the Super Tourer you posted. And since the Rydell 850 is being released in the US next month (could be delayed I suppose), it may well be released in the middle of next year :)

For those interested in that Volvo, AA are also doing the 1994 entries, which are Estates :D :laugh4: Thinking of getting a Lammers car...

[malscar]

HPI are also doing the 850 sedans and estates in 1/43

[GLENN L]

did volvo race the estates in oz.

[malscar]

Yes, they had one in 1995. Driven by Tony Scott. The scheme was pretty much that of the Swedish Team car.

[El Cheapo]

Any pics of it out there Mal?

Here's a BTCC one for those vaguely interested:

[smokey_dj]

Only time will tell!! we need a better sample of the first one, which will help build numbers well. Plenty of time yet!


just like to say Chris that to be really honest i would never buy a volvo real car or model unless it was a brock 1 so as dar as no# go for this other 1 i wont be purchasing it but would be more than 100% to get the brock version thats just something special that only comes around once in a blue moon just cause i work at holden now im not totally 1 eye'd :p

[monarocveightz]

Hmmm hope the numbers improve on the Volvo. I have my name down for one. We need this kind of variety in Australian Touring Car models to keep this hobby fresh IMO

Agreed Pug......looking forward to having a manufacturer that is different to the normal cars I buy....

Chris.....I don't think you'd have any problems flogging any Brock Volvo's!

[Mr K]

My Last post the last pic should have been the #15 Rydell car.

Richo drove Brock's old 850 and then moved onto the new S40.

[malscar]

Just saw that the Fujitsu cars are due 4th quarter this year. I wonder if they come with flat left front tyres? lol
