The Armstrong Siddeleys and the Sunbeam Talbots are not far from release, we have had one or two amendments which have taken place. The Bentley S1 follows and the next model will be a Royal Daimler, we have used the vehicle held at Sandringham for the basis of the design. Due to the specialist nature of this, there will only be a few releases. The Thames 400E is also ready and this will be issued in Q2.

Hello Taff from Oxford Diecast, welcome to the site and thank you for joining us.

Being in the US, I don't get to see a lot of Oxford. I do have a couple heavy haulage lorries in my collection, and I am very impressed. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your Haulage line, and the Military range sounds interesting as well.

I have been waiting for 3 months for the Mickey mouse AEC to come out I have two prepaid on order, I have been hoping for years that someone would bring out a MatadorI have been suggesting that to Corgi for at least five years. They will not have to bother now

I have been looking at the Oxford new toys catalogue and I have noticed. That there are a number of trucks in Q2 that have not been released yet, A friend who is also a seller of die cast. has told me that he does not hold out much hope that Q2 76 Aec will arrive in Q2 but Q3 . It would be a better idea if Oxford could at least make a guess at predicting issue dates which would influence back order purchases if Q2 is to be Q3 and so on then say so. they will still be purchased as they are to my knowledge the only AEC of type.

Pity they are not 1:50 but you can't have everthing you wish in life

I should be getting the Corgi BRS wrecker in the next couple of days, this will go alongside the AEC wreckers ,,,when I get them.

   Edit: The AEC Mickey mouse  for example was Q2 now you say later in year?? this was of course 2011

I just realized that this should have been last year so the AECs are around 6 to 8 months late doesn't bode well for Q3 and Q4 this year 2012
