MINICHAMPS PRICE INCREASES
Due to a huge increase in the price of zinc, the cost of which has risen between 300% and 400%, Paul’s Model Art in Germany have increased their Minichamps brand prices as from January 2007.
There will be an across the board increase to the trade of 10% on 1/43rd scale road and F1 cars, 1/18th scale F1 cars and 1/12th scale bikes. 15% will be added onto 1/18th scale road cars and 16% to 1/18th and 1/43rd scale motorsport cars. These increases will obviously have an effect on retail prices.
Если это правда, то вскоре подорожают
