We called onto so many stands at the show that it is impossible to give a review of them all! So here are some photos to give you an idea of what's to come during the year. We start off with a picture of a superhero.....and Iron Man! I was over there with Darren (in photo) for the 2 days.
Below you can see some of the new NEO range, these really are amazing models. we spoke to the manufacturer who said they have had a 80% increase in sales over the past 12 months. We will be increasing our range of NEO during the year. All models are available to pre order, so if there is something you like just
drop us a mail.
Another popular range are Universal Hobbies, below is a small selection of 2011 models. lots more of the usual mixed with the unusual (back of the photo)
Only had a quick tour of the Minichaps stand, as per usuall Minichamps seem to release about a million models every year, here is a photo of some prototype Porsches. We will have some new 1\43rd and 1\18th Minichamps arriving late Feb.
One stand I love going onto is the Hotwheels stand. Every year they have a stunning Ferrari, stunning gloss white stand and a few stunning women waking around ignoring you....but very few model cars. They usually just have the top new items for that year. This year they are doing some really good TV & Film models. A Team, Ghostbusters and some new Batman, all were really impressive.
Next up we have CMC. Below is a photo of the new Ferrari Transporter, as expected it is a perfect model. this will be out soon and will be available for pre-order through the site in the near future. I will also soon have more information about 2011 releases.
We called onto Autoart, probably the most disappointing stand at the show. Most years it is my favourite. This year there were not many new models and the ones that were 'new' are variants of current models. We will wait and see what happens during the year.
We were on the schuco, their range just keeps on improving. below you can see the Martini racing truck, we had the
1st version of this in late last year (now sold out) it looks great in the Martini colours. We will hopefully have it in stock in the near future. you can also see below they have some new farming models out, they have a great new range of Massey Ferguson tractors.
Finally I just thought I'd put this photo in because its a nice car! A great show, already looking forward to next year.
