Wow! Can't wait for the VK and VR Commodores. Some of the other announcements, while not my cup of tea, do look and sound pretty good. Any chance the Spa Commodores will be made William? Would love these in VK and VL form.

Ah, yes, but if Biante had 10,000 customers like you, we would get every model we want !

Hi William. When will the Fabian Coulthard 2009 Falcon FG be released in 1:18 scale?

Was told it was going to be a March release, then told middle of June. I've had money saved for this since Febuary....getting slightly annoyed now....

Not 100% sure at this stage El Cheapo - DJR FG's are rolling though first, so I would expect the remaining three FG's to follow shortly, with the 2010 cars then stepping up to the plate.

Can't wait for this one as long as the 1:18 has the same stance and wheel/tyre seize as in the pic.

[SWRT]

Awesome announcements about the Skaife 1996 cars, with the Sega ATCC & Network Q Bathurst car.
However what about the early 1996 livery, the basic red car, that got a podium at the Sandown 1996 round?

[HRT1]

the directors FG looks interesting??

probably wont get one as it wont be too significant to me but i'm sure a lot of Ford fans will have one for the cabinet

Both the Skaife cars though, and the 09 Bathurst podium VE's.... straight into my cabinets

[HQGTS74]

Will the 'directors' special FG be available to everyone? If so, why is it called that?

Cheers,

Chris

We have almost done that livery in the past, as its the '95 livery without the stickers down the doors that we aren't allowed to put on anyway. They ran the spare car at Sandown as Skaife's car as damaged in an accident with Brock at T2 in Round one at Eastern Creek. He was back in that EC car though for round three, which is when Sega came on board.

Thanks for the reply. Also thanks for giving us a list each month. It is much easier. :2thumbsup:

thanks William

[GSXR1]

Wow, few more added to the watchlist now :cool:

[VE II]

Appreciate the correspondece william - particularly the announcement of the upcoming releases as well as this months releases. Its a big help.

I havent preordered any 86 VK yet, but im more likely to get the Biante one. William, is it a revised 84 VK mould? Or is it going to be more similar to the 87 VL in terms of detail, level of quality etc?
I'm leaning towards the biante despite having the other brock cars in CC as it looks like it'll be more accurate not to mention $25 cheaper.

The skaife cars look great. Its a shame im scaling back on my skaife collection :(.

[monarocveightz]

I've just realised I've got 3 1:18's and 1 1:43 coming in that lot this month..........thats almost $700..........ouch:(

[Andrew]

There are some really interesting releases announced - and that's comong from a Skyline collector. I think the FG 'Director' Special looks interesting, but to me the slew of older cars looks great - Sega Skaife ATCC, Skaife/Cleland Bathurst, Brock/Moffat ETCC, Grice/Bailey ETCC, 1978 Le Mans Porsche and the XE Falcon bonnet. I have hopes that expanding into older bonnets will bring around a range of the Group C and A car bonnets: JPS BMW, Moffat RX-7, Fury Bluebird, Brock Commodore(s), Seton DR30, Johnson Mustang, Skaife R31, GT-R bonnets, Shell/Caltex/Peter Jackson/Mobil Sierra, B&H M3, etc.

[HQGTS74]

The Biante Brock/Moffat VK isn't the same as the CC one that was announced is it?

CC are doing the bathurst version. This is a european version ;)

B182704H (http://www.biante.com.au/product_23868.htm)- HOLDEN VK COMMODORE GROUP A - #5 1986 ETCC ROUND 2: DONINGTON - BROCK/MOFFAT

YEEEEEEES

So excited about this one:D:D

[the_goldie]

Are CC doing the Brock/Moffat car from Bathurst??? Have not seen any news on their site under future releases...

[HRT1]

Hasn't been updated but they have stated they will be doing it

[monarocveightz]

They had it on display at the model car expo in Melb?.........there were pics on here showing it and the '82 winning car......not sure what thread it was in sorry.

[pitcrew]

Great news on the Brock/Moffat car,
Will we see it in all scales ?

Cheers

Hope so, this will be a popular car......its a VK, of course it will be popular....Cant wait for this one.

William, is it a revised 84 VK mould? Or is it going to be more similar to the 87 VL in terms of detail, level of quality etc?

VE_Tander, it is the VK mould, however it has been heavily revised since the Chickadee Bathurst Winner, to bring it into line with the VL's and VE's in terms of detail and accuracy.

There are also a few tooling differences between the two VK's we announced today, as soon as I have a decorated sample of the #27 Grice car, you guys will be the first to see them.

Awsome to hear about the VK mould, the Chickadee car is already a decent mould so this should be a top model if the tooling has been revised can't wait:cool:

I always said from day one that the Biante VK was a better and more accurate model than the Classics VK.

And the one issue that our Chickadee car may have had was the nose, and this is one of the major tooling changes that we are in the process of modifying.

Good to hear, if you're going to the effort of changing the tooling...I presume there are going to be a few more VK's on the way in the future...

[El Cheapo]

I'm impressed with you guys addressing the nose of your VK's :D That's something the other dudes would never consider doing. Brilliant news :)

[Damage]

Yes, you can tell its a different crew doing the models, ie actually acting on feedback. Soes anybody know how many 86 Brock/Moffat ETCC will be made in 1/18?

As per usual, it will come down to how many our dealers order, and they only place orders with us if everyone gets in store and places their order...

KID AVANDIA (http://www.classactionsettlements.org/lawsuit/ava ndia/)

[basman]

Brock ETCC - I'm over the moon!!!!! Whilst its not #05, there is a distinct look about it. In my eyes, the best looking Brock VK Gp A was the one he campaigned in Europe (cleaner - less cluttered - well that's my opinion). A Brock car on Pirelli's - now there's something unusual for the collection.

BOC 2nd place - dejected!!! I love the livery of this car and I went out and bought the Darwin pole winner. Whilst I love my model (Biante's VE is sensational), what am I gonna do now?? The Bathurst one is far more significant than a pole winner however I don't think I would recover the full amount on ebay should I sell it to fund the 2nd place - I suppose not a bad car to be stuck with anywhay and Biante have made up for it by announcing the 3rd place GRM!

Overall, a great list and hopefully the 1996 Skaife car means Biante is one step closer to the VR/VS Coke Commodore!!!

[wazza002]

Can I ask why, that Biante is doing the same cars as the CC cars its just like seeing to have two of each cars in the cabinets, As I do not know why the cars are just going to go down in price for the one who pays up to $500 to $1000 dollars for them But not saying they will get to this price LoL, so where the ones going to lose out here, Has any one got anything more on this or you happy to have two of the same car.

Sorry i'm not having ago at anyone for making them its funny to see this happying of all the cars that can be made out there you seem to do the samething ;)

cheers wazza

[onfire]

Wazza: are your reffering to the brock/moffat car 1986?

If so classic is making the bathurst car
biante is making the btcc car
very similar, but different...

but good news biante is making the big banger in 1:64

Yeah its just look the same to me at the moment,:o vk's that is, anyway I will take back what I said then but you all know what I mean but,

And yes its great to see them come out in 1:64s too,
thanks Biante

cheers wazza ;)

[SDK]

I don't consider the Brock "Euro" car to be the same as the Brock Bathurst car at all. Naturally you don't have to buy both. I'd but all 3 Spa VK's and like an NZ winner (or two) also.

Most importantly new tooling by Biante for the nose. Great news. I'm waiting for the Bathurst HDT VK cars to be done by Biante & I don't care if they're 3 years away. Perhaps the 1986 Harvey car will be sooner?

[HDT337]

And the one issue that our Chickadee car may have had was the nose, and this is one of the major tooling changes that we are in the process of modifying.

William, dont you dare go making the nose look as silly as the Classics, its too pointy, just find a happy medium between both cars.

Must admit it is good to see another Moffat car being released.

I would buy a 86 Brock-Moffat Wellington 500 Winner, best livery for me with the thick blue bonnet stripes(full width of headlights).
Would buy a 86 Harvey-Lowe Pukekohe winner.

I am just really disappointed that all those models still listed as 'Development Approved' still haven't been produced. :confused:

[XW #901 180mph]

I expect this car would be part of the Brock collection but is it also going to be part of the Moffat collection and if so is the packaging going to reflect this and is the certificate going to be signed by Moffat.

It would be good to know this so I can give my Brock and Moffat collectors accurate info.
