Nuremberg Toy Fair 2010

[lachlan]

Well it’s that time of year again!! Personally I can't wait to see this years offerings.

If you find any pictures or links please post'em.

[spolyhronidis]

i was going to say (tongue in cheek) that there are photos on the Biante website, but the page is not there anymore. looks like it was removed when the site was updated.

[brchi17]

I wonder if anyone from Biante are attending this year as this used to be Rich's junket :p :D

[brchi17]

He left at the wrong time :D

he sure did, I think at this late stage, they'd better send the moderators in his place :D lmao !!!

[Andrew]

I'll take one for the Biante team and go in his stead.
I promise to take photos of every single car on display..... *please*

Hmmmm, winter in Germany, maybe he's smarter than you think?

[wayno]

I just hope to see lots of the unmade 1:18 scale f1 world champs, but with retards like Minichamps cancelling the Lauda and Prost McLaren MP 4/2's I don't like my chances.
Much more important to re-release all the Schumacher and Senna cars. :rolleyes:

[tonynz]

Just looked on an english web site that had a list of 2010 release's from Minichamps, hardly any 1/18 F1 cars.

Because Minichamps is obviously run by idiots.

[Richard Poole]

I can say that the people running Minichamps are far from idiots Wayne. Unfortunately F1 just isn't what it used to be. Much like V8 Supercars I guess.

Yes, the Toy Fair was pretty much the highlite of my working year but I wont miss the snow and long train rides.

[malscar]

This may help you wayno

[tonynz]

I have been collecting 1/18 F1 cars for over 15 years and it looks like there will be less and less, It has been many years that any have been available in NZ (not that I have ever bought any here in NZ, so I am probaly part to blame)

by the looks of it there are some good historic 1/43 cars, early 70's as well as pre war Auto Unions etc.

[Richard Poole]

While we're on the subject of F1 and Minichamps I have it on good authority that the Mercedes GP Petronas MGP W01 will be presented on the Minichamps stand...... in 1:1 scale!

[Road Runner 72]

Too many scary faces on books Richo.................watch out for the Red headed ones ;)

[Richard Poole]

Saw an update on FB from the owners son.

[Road Runner 72]

What about the Golden son, will he be standing alongside the car he will drive, as I feel he might pop in over there.

[Richard Poole]

There's a heap of pics on the Scale 18 Message board from Ulf who was at the fair yesterday.

http://www.scale18.com/cgi-bin/page/msg?func=list

Heaps a new models. Ferrari 512S from GMP, 4 new LM winners from Spark, Tyrrell 6 wheeler from TSM, gigantic Ferrari transporter from CMC, Volvo 850 Super Tourer from AA.

[lachlan]

Thanks for the link Richard. Some very nice cars in there. SWB Audi!!

[malscar]

Second that. And what about the A110 by Kyosho, mmmmmmmm
and the Stratos and the Healey and and and and :o

[monarocveightz]

There's also photo's of this Volvo I've seen on the DH forum......could be a good basis for a Francevic Volvo...

Has the 1963 or 1965 Clark Lotus 25 been made before Wayno? If not, you have one new model to look forward to, made by Spark!

[wayno]

In 1:18? If so I'm gonna die!
I do not care about price as I will die for a Jim Clark model! :D
At the moment I only have the exoto SA car from his last victory. I know it doesn't fit into my themes as such but it's Jim Clark!

[Richard Poole]

Yes Wayno, in 1:18.

Please don't die. Then Brad will have to moderate the entire forum by himself. That wouldn't be cool.

[wayno]

Mate i can't wait for details about this. I will DEFINATELY be first in the cue for this car. :)

[Richard Poole]

A few weeks ago I would have said second, behind me, but now I guess you would be first.

[brchi17]

Yes Wayno, in 1:18.

Please don't die. Then Brad will have to moderate the entire forum by himself. That wouldn't be cool.

been there, done that and it's not cool!!!

Good news about spark as if their 1/43 are anything to go by then a 1/18 should be stunning, however the price could be interesting.....I can't wait for more 1/18 WC as there are so many holes in this current theme of mine & it's mainly due to them not being made, apart from the W196 monoposto and streamliner of course :(

[malscar]

So, are you guys going to get the big transporter?

[rayman]

So, are you guys going to get the big transporter?
I'm not sure I will, depends on cost. Exoto has plans to do 1/18th Transporter's and the retail for those are going to be $1500 US.

[malscar]

The other part to consider is just where on earth do you display it?

[Andrew]

Mal - with the amount of cars you have in boxes, you're the last person to ask that question!!! ;)

OK, just for you I will rephrase the question. " Where on earth do you store it?" :p:o

Any idea who is making this one??

[Richard Poole]

That would be CMC.

[lachlan]

Got any more news or Links Richard?

Sucks sitting at home in Australia waiting for pictures doesn't it :D

Dear Biante,

As a big fan of Group A cars Im really glad to see this car is being made. I also enjoy seeing any Australian touring car model that is not the usual Holden/Ford being made and would easily buy such a version if one was made available.

A 1986 ATCC winner would be an obvious first choice or my personal preference the 1985 Bathurst 1000 Francevic/Bowe car.

Please make this happen in due time. No rush.

Regards

Pug205 :)

[k1w1taxi]

Mainly 1:43

Excellent link, thanks.

[malscar]

Hmmm, some of those Corgi rally cars look nice.

[KiwiRallyFan]

Looks like Autoart are producing the Audi Sport Quattro (the short wheel base version). I guess it's 1/18.

Bit of a rush job on the decals. I hope the Legacy turns out OK.

In one of the other sites you posted Lee, there seemed to be a plain metal body next to their 1/43 F1s that looked to be the sport version as well.

The 1/18 will have a home here. Aa have a few nice things announced.

That Solido Loeb C4 - Ireland dosn't look to shabby.

[Sal]

Pre production prototype. I saw this model at a trade show before Christmas and the shape is ok but the finish was very much by hand!

[david5]

How good is the Schuco 1/18 Porsche Transporter ? Hmm Aussie distributor is just up the road. :cool:

Relating to the 1/18 Premium Classixxs version of the Porsche transporter, (Schuco made?) go to http://www.premiumclassixxs.de/start.htm then click Serie 1:18.
You can see the actual size of the transporter versus human scale.

[Road Runner 72]

Also not a bad website with pics n stuff.

I noticed a couple of VR-4s as well. Some more Makinen/Eriksson/Ordynski cars in the future

Found on the HPI page of Auto und modell report. Check out the first Celica on the fourth row down.

Got a donor sitting waiting to do that one as a code 3. Figure that it will be cheaper than an HPI if not as good quality.

[malscar]

Have the decals and a flat :( kit to build that one.

Mal, would you be able to use the altaya celica but put the kit detailing on to it? I might have a spare if you need it.

Do my eyes decieve me or does that look like a Kyosho Rohrl 131 Arbarth Rally Portugal in the background of one of those shots?

That Autoart Army Jeep is way cool.

[k1w1taxi]

Ixo have a Duval Focus with what looks suspiciously like an Oz door plate. Looking at the Spark F1 there is what looks awfully like a Mac M2 behind the central Leyton House in one of the group shots.

Also a good thing NEO don't have a distributor down this way :)

Cheers
Lee

Oh and thanks for the link Lach!
