3 Comments

 
The Nürnberg Toy Fair hasn't brought up many news this year. In fact not one new Volvo has been presented. The few new  models have already been announced ahead of this years toy fair. Here is a short summary of all the upcoming models for 2013.

BoS-Models   -   1:18

Model Car World has announced a 1989 Volvo 245 GL which will be released under their newly created label BoS-Models. This shortcut stands for 'Best of Show'. The 1:18 scale model will be made of resin and only 1000 units will be exclusively produced for Model Car World by the French company OttOmobile. A precise release date is not yet known.

Minichamps   -   1:43 & 1:18

Minichamps is finally at the point to release the two 1:43 scale Volvo 242 Turbo models. The first ( item # 400861701 ) is already available and the second ( item # 400851753 ) should follow this month. Another long awaited model - the P1800ES in 1:18 scale - should normally be released late this summer. Minichamps hasn't however announced any new Volvo models. Is this the end of an era ?

Premium-X   -   1:43

Premium-X will release in the next weeks the four models they have already announced last summer. They are however to my surprise not even featured in their catalog for 2013. My guess is that more models already available in the 'Volvo Collection' will show up in the future as slightly improved versions in IXO's and/or Premium-X standard program.

We can certainly expect a few more Volvo scale models from other well known brands. I suppose that most will be only new colors and liveries. But we also learned from the past that one or the other surprise can show up at any given time.

Don't hesitate to leave me a line if you should have seen any other model not yet listed or mentioned above.

Hello
Great overview.

Hi Vegar,
I'm aware that I haven't added them to the overview.
The two models have been announced such a long time ago and the first ( the 242 Turbo ) will be released very very soon and the second ( P1800ES in 1:18 ) is also a really long awaited new color that will hopefully be produced this year.
But I can update my post to try to be even more complete.
