Question: Is there a relation between Minichamps and..
Corgi? I ask this because I always get the latest releases or updates from both Minichamps and Corgi on the same day and usually within minutes of each other.

None at all
As Vladimir says, Corgi is part of the Hornby Group of companies, based in Margate, England, along with Scalextric, Airfix, Humbrol and Hornby (Model Trains). Minichamps is a German company based in the western city of Aachen.
The only thing they have in common is that they both have their models produced in southern China, and they both email their weekly newsletters on Fridays

Who knows and they may use the same factories ....
there are similarities between some recent Corgi and Norev releases.
