Some more hand samples of the Minichamps 1M.

130 euors is insane for this model. Even if that includes VAT that's still more than 100 euros.

I still do not have a firm date from Max(Minichamps). All I know is either Spring or Summer this year. When I know... I will update this thread. In the meantime... some members have decided to buy the GT Sprint model for the time being. Max has constantly said his model will be of a higher quality. We shall see once we all get our hands on them.

The GT Spirit model is manufactured from Resin and is a sealed model , nothing opens so its purpose is to sit on a desk etc and be admired.
The MINICHAMPS version will have opening features for closer inspection.

It depends on where your loyalties lie but Resin is now becoming the more affirmed choice due to ease of development , manufacturing and in this day cost against diecast.

That is why we are seeing models like the BMW M235i Coupe and BMW M3 Sedan come as Resin only.

Nice to be able to see inside of the upcoming MotoGP version; Finally an AW model without Nav resembling my config. Oddly the real MotoGP 1M does have the Nav dashboard outline with just a ///M print were normally the screen sits.

The M235 and M3 are both made by GT Spirit..price will be about 79-90 Euros. Paragon is also making the F8x Ms but they're terrible quality, in my opinion.

I own a couple Paragons and I think they're good quality, and worth it to have opening features

Update:

Quote:
Wir nähern uns der Zielgeraden! Die Konfiguration der Modelle hat begonnen. Die ersten Modelle wird es dann anfang Juli geben.

Wundert Euch bitte nicht, wenn die Standard Modelle zuerst ausgeliefert werden. Diese haben standard Konfigurationen und sind daher einfacher, was verständlich sein sollte. Viele von Euch haben aufwendige Konfigurationen gewählt und daher werden diese zum Ende hin fertig.

Rechnung werde ich im Juni versenden!

Danke nochmals für Eure Geduld!
He says that it's now in the final stage and first models will be sent in early July. Also, he says to be not surprised if the first models will be all standard - custom models will follow shortly. And that he is going to send some invoices or something.
