BY ALAN HENRY

$54.95

2/2/10 UPDATE: Our 'regular' shipment of Autocourse 2009/10 has arrived from the UK. As we mentioned to Email Update subscribers a couple weeks ago, there has been a price reduction from $59.99 to $54.95. Most advance orders will ship today (at the lower price) and those of you who are picking up your books here in Downers Grove will be getting a phone call or email shortly.

Copies are available for those of you who did not place an advance reservation. Click HERE to order.

1/28/10 UPDATE: Spark's 1/43 scale Peter Revson Gulf McLaren M20 is due to arrive here at TMC in about a week. The Denny Hulme version was a quick sell out. Reserve your Revson today. $53.95 plus shipping. Click HERE.

 

 
 

 
 

1/19/10 UPDATE: Several prominent manufacturers of high quality models aren't waiting for the big shows in February to announce their plans for 2010:

First, TrueScale Miniatures announced an attractive program of Tyrrell Grand Prix cars and other neat stuff. Last week, CMC sent out a 'Preview' of several new pieces on their agenda and GMP announced a second Ferrari 312PB for Spring 2010 delivery.

Click on the links for additional information.

Our restock of 2009 LeMans Annuals arrived today. Automobile Year #57 should arrive Wednesday. Autocourse 2009/10 should be here within the week.

1/18/10 UPDATE: Some new arrivals from Spark Model are expected later this week. Check them out HERE.

by TEISSEDRE & MOITY

$89.95

 CLICK HERE TO ORDER!

1/16/10 UPDATE: It's 'Annual' time. The main 'surface' shipments of Autocourse and Automobile Year will be here next week. A new winner at LeMans in 2009 has sparked interest in both the 2009 LeMans Annual and 2009 LeMans Review DVD. We'll have more Annuals in stock early next week. The DVDs are ready to ship.

We've extended our Die Cast Sale until the end of the month and added a few other 'one off' pieces at a 20% discount. See the banner above. We're moving our 'warehouse' this month and the more stuff we can find a home for, the less we have to move, so check those lists!

The TrueScale Miiniatures 1/18 scale Bob Akin - Bobby Rahal - Roy Woods Coca Cola #05 Porsche 935 K3 is also due to arrive this week. You can check out the full photo set and order HERE.

1/8/10 UPDATE: New arrivals this week include the #16 Dyson Lola Mazda from Sebring 2009, produced by Spark exclusively for Mazda ($53.95 - one to a customer!), the latest Lola T70 slot car from Revell - Monogram, Mark Donohue's Sunoco Special ($59.95) and the 2009 24 Hours of LeMans Official Book ($89.95). Click on the links to order.

 

   

12/30/09 UPDATE: Take a sneak peak at TrueScale Miniatures's early 2010 release schedule. Click HERE!

 

12/29/09 UPDATE: Our 'NEW DIECAST PAGE' has returned. As many of you have noticed, we trimmed down our die cast offerings - especially in 1/43 - over the past year or so. We hope to reverse that trend in 2010, so we will again maintain a listing of each new miniature as it arrives at TMC. Our Shopping Cart software doesn't lend itself well to this sort of page so we're uploading a modified version of the page that served us well for years. The 'prototype' page can be found HERE.


12/24/09 UPDATE: I want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a healthy and prosperous New Year. I'd also like to thank you for your support in 2009, a very tough year. Even if you had to cut back your toy purchases this year, we're happy to have you around. Hopefully, things will rebound in 2010.

With Schumacher back, it looks like another interesting Formula One season, at least.

We'll take a couple days off to be with Family, then back to the business of bringing to you the best in motorsport artwork, books, video, models and other memorabilia.

I'll be here for a short time this Saturday, 11am (I'll need to sleep in a bit) to 2 pm. Back to regular hours on Monday (yes, we're open. Come on in with those Gift Cards!!!).

Merry Christmas!

- Paul Zimmermann, Founder and Managing Partner


12/15/09 UPDATE: Good news, bad news time. If you subscribe to our Email Updates, you're already aware of the fact that there will be no Formula 1 Review DVD for the US market this year. However, we have been able to secure a small quantity of European (PAL) format versions of the 2 disc, 274 minute program which are now in stock. $37.95 plus shipping. Click HERE to order.

As we've said before, PAL discs require a multi-format DVD player (such as our Philips DVP3980) which are available at very reasonable prices ($79.95 or lower) - but maybe not at your local Best Buy. Try Amazon.com. We currently stock more than 30 PAL titles, with more on the way.

PAL DVDs may also play on your computer, but please check your equipment before ordering.

12/10/09 UPDATE: If you're up and about Saturday morning, tune in to Drive Chicago with Paul Brian on WLS 890AM at 8am. I'll be doing my annual Holiday Gift Guide sometime after 8.30. If you''re outside the BIG 89's broadcast range, you can listen live HERE.

12/10/09 UPDATE: AUTOCOURSE CHRISTMAS DELIVERY: Our shipment of Autocourse 2009/10 is inbound from the UK and is expected to arrive Monday, December 14. We can reserve one of these rare early copies (TMC will have the only authorized pre-2010 copies in the US) for an additional $12 to cover FedEx shipping and customs charges. In return for this charge, we will offer a 10% discount off your first 2010 order (must be used by June 30, 2010). The normal 'surface' shipment of Autocouse is not expected to arrive until January or February of 2010. Our supply of 'Air Autocourse' is limited. Please respond asap!

12/8/09 UPDATE: The 2009 LeMans 24 Hours Review DVD has arrived. Most Advance Orders shipped today. We have DVDs in stock for immediate delivery. $29.99. Click HERE to order the 90 minute review of Peugeot's hard fought victory in one of the world's most famous races.

Amalgam has delivered a 1/12 scale replica of 2009 World Champion Jenson Button's Brawn BGP001 Nose Cone in time for Christmas. Supply is limited. $125.00 plus shippping. Order HERE.

 

 

 

12/5/09 UPDATE: We've added a new folder to our Secondary Market offerings to reflect some 'sold out' 1/18 scale diecast models that we've acquired recently. Some great stuff from GMP, Carousel 1, Minichamps and others. Check everything out HERE.

11/29/09 UPDATE: As I mentioned in last week's Email Update, we are in the process of offering for sale an outstanding collection of motor sport art from some of the best known artists in the field. More than 100 pieces by Randy Owens, Alan Fearnley, Juan Carlos Ferrigno, Thierry Thompson, Gavin Macleod and others are now on display here at TMC and will be uploaded to the website over the next few days.

Most of these prints are signed by racing legends such as Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost, Mario Andretti, Nigel Mansell, Michael Schumacher, Michael Andretti, Paul Tracy, Bobby Rahal, Danny Sullivan Al Unser (Sr & Jr) and many, many others. This afternoon, the first of these images, a selection of 30 Original Serigraphs by Randy Owens, was uploaded to the Secondary Market section of our Shopping Cart.

You can take a sneak peak HERE. Much more to come!
