I heard from a little birdie that biante has dropped Minichamps as a model supplier ,and i was wondering will we see the XJS Bathurst winner or is it a dead lost.
thanks

From memory there was just over 1000 Jags coming to Oz through Biante, so I don't expect this change to effect that.

If true, wouldn't the distribution rights for Minichamps simply be picked up by another local wholesaler (or manufacturer) ?

If its cc they might just say look at the quality of these and lift their game a bit.

The little birdie is true. The 43rd Goss is out to stores this week, and will be on website later this week or next!

But Geoff, you new that anyway!!

there's good news on the horizon for anyone who likes to collect minichamps models. there is a new australian distributor, but i don't know if they want to be outed yet, so i won't name them.

Yes, there is a new Austrailian distributor. However, in all fairness, I think it best they make the annoncement. Direct from the 'Horse's Mouth' so to speak.

To stop any rumours, there will be an official announcement very shorty, I'm sure.

Looking forward to it as Minichamps form by far the biggest part of my collection. Exciting times ahead I'm hoping. :)

I would like to congratulate the incumbant importer (you know who you are) and look forward to renewing my interest in Minichamps (and other brands) in the near future :D
