Minichamps 1:18 Buick Centurion availability...
Is the 1:18-scale Minichamps Buick Centurion available yet ?
I get strange messages from Minichamps stating that they have no plans to produce it...
The same goes for the upcoming Chrysler Norseman in the same scale.
So either this man poorly understands English or we're in for a shock....:(

Joop, the availability of the Centurion has been confusing. It was available about 1-1/2 weeks ago, but my understanding is that some of the U.S. vendors promptly sold out the first batch.
I had one pre-ordered at Legacy for well over a year, then ordered it as soon as I saw that it was "in stock". I have a tracking number that indicates that I'll be receiving mine next Tuesday.
I notice that Legacy no longer shows it all, which makes me think that they may not be receiving a second batch. I would review all the various diecast model websites, because I think that some still show availability.

Kevin says 4 weeks. Keep your fingers crossed.

I received mine (on order for 2 years) Thursday 4/23/15. Beautiful Model as are the other Concepts.
Mine was purchased from Mint Models which owns Legacy but I don't think they cross over on orders.

Received the 1/18 Centurion today -- and it's a truly spectacular piece!
