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.

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.

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

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!

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!
