  Or else buy from online! Or buy 1:43 ver. one. I saw Kimi one today in the shop.

  1:43 for me not good lah, don't really like 1:43 for some reason..maybe the detail not good.
  pedro...won't consider him, his career will be over soon.
  
  online was considering the lewis 1/18 mclaren edition...but then it is just the box that I'm paying, anyway I preordered the 1st win and rain edition. Minichamps of course.

  just after you at the same place... same time when they announced the rain version. I preordered both of them
  You know about their double cashback right?
  But very likely we'll get it in feb/march if they don't delay it further

  heres my recent 2007 collection... manage to find it here but price is rising kinda high... McLaren Mercedes MP4-22 of Lewis Hamilton from Hotwheels... as usual, quality is so so but compared to the previous model, its more reflective and chromy... of coz, still not as chromy as Minichamps' since Minichamps makes the best f1 models...

  hey jasonist,
  did you order any Minichamps 2007 Mclaren?
  
  And Mattel probably wont read this forum, but there is a higher chance of them going to this forum: http://www.leighsdiary.com/forum/YaBB.pl
  
  You should try to post there..

  Actually the forum got 40 plus members already, but the server was down, then everyone had to register again!
  
  I had problems getting to the forum too. I think the forum is much better now after the admin did some tweaks.
  
  And what is the 50th F1 1/18??? Can give clues? Minichamps? Mclaren? Ferrari? 2007? 2006?
  And where you bought from? Remember to take pictures of the unpackaging process! I wanna see!
• yeekin

  yeah you are correct.
  when he won the wdc the car flew out of the shelves and got more expensive.
  So I waited for a better deal.
  But on a more serious note, the car is quite detailed, want to compare it with the constructors and wdc car to see the difference.

  That is around 300-400 SGD, will be here in Mid Dec. Not as expensive as the one with removeable engine cover. That one going to be sky high
