Nuremburg Toy Fair 2016 27th Jan to 1st Feb

Good find - Underwhelmed by the variety - am i alone in thinking ixo have gone off the boil? Lots of older types of rally cars yet to be modelled for the first time (many of the kit cars would be of interest to collectors) But its largely the same old models with different liveries again.

I'm still disappointed in what is to be released this year by the big manufacturers. The Senna Sierra will be one to get IF it gets released and there are a couple of others but that's it. Lets hope the Code3 makers amongst us do the business this year

I'm afraid I now have to agree with you! Other than the Otto 240RS no surprises and as for Ixo... complete anti-climax!

First Ixo pics Ive found.

The Kamaz, Iveco, & Toyota Hilux caught me by surprise (9th photo). Anyone know anything else about them? Wonder if the Iveco is really 1:43?

Noticed these Dakar models appearing on Ebay from a seller in Peru of all places over the last couple of weeks!

The listings said they were from a part work see link below also has a Loeb Pug on sale.

Doing some Dakar models that have never been done before - Gordini, Ford Ranger, Renault Duster, etc - but, unfortuntaley look a little too toy-like: http://ripituc.blogspot.com/2015/12/coleccion-dakar-el-comercio-peru-2016.html

Many more pics of Ixos! As discussed not many surprises but at least they are showing Craig Breen's Acropolis winning 208T16.

IXO doing a RHD McRae Ascona too-makes life a bit easier for conversions!

Triple9 which is Greenlight as far as I know showing 1/18th MK1 Escort road and rally.

Only the long awaited Pikes Peak Rohrl Quattro from Spark of interest for me.
