I wonder if YM will begin their 1:43rd scale line by releasing models they already made in 1:24th, or if they'll do entirely new ones? I know some collectors will complain about yet another scale for fire apparatus, but I've been hoping to see some American fire trucks in 1:43rd - that fits with the most popular (world-wide) scale for diecast cars, so they'll fit just right with many of my police cars. I know 1:50th is a more common truck collecting scale, and these will frustrate collectors of Corgi and NMM vintage trucks, but if they do the same types of subjects that YM has been doing to date, they'll be great additions - especially if they sell them at Yat Ming, rather than Corgi, prices!
Yat Ming hopes to have it out before Christmas (we know how that goes). Jeff Collectibles is having problems with his site, the itme should be up again by this evening.
