Biante Collectors Club Newsletter 3rd June 2008

Hello and welcome to an important week of releases here at Biante.
We have some fantastic models on offer this Wednesday including the long awaited Mick Doohan championship winning Honda and the Dale Earnhardt Sr Nascars.

WEBSITE NEW RELEASES : Wednesday , 4th June 2008 2pm

Ixo

First up we have in 1:43 scale, the Ferrari F310 of Michael Schumacher that won the 1996 Barcelona Grand Prix.
In the usual Schumacher dominance he started from third on the grid for this event but went on to win by a staggering 45 seconds over second place getter Jean Alesi.
This model has been awaiting clearance from Ixo and Biante are happy to be able to release this item to the public.

Minichamps

We all know what a superb job Minichamps do in producing their 1:12 scale bikes and their latest release (and arguably the most important to our Australian collectors) is no exception. The venerable Honda NSR500 ridden to his fourth straight world championship by Mick Doohan.
1997 was a year that proved to be the most dominant of all five of Doohans championships where he went on to win by an incredible 147 points over runner up Tadayuki Okada.
Make sure you are online at 2pm Wednesday to ensure yourself a copy of this most commanding of 500cc premier class bikes.

Motorsports Authentics

As stated in last weeks newsletter, Biante are extremely pleased to be able to make available seven of Dale Earnhardt's most famous Nascars this week.
These 1:24 scale models were originally only to be purchased in the US but Motorsports Authentics have released a very limited amount to the rest of the world and Biante were lucky enough to secure some. As these models are in such limited numbers, it may help to try to be ready as close to release time as possible.
