NEW RELEASES

You will be able to find here news about the latest Volvo scale models which have been announced or just been released.

Triple9 Collection is announcing another batch of Volvo models

1/4/2015

0 Comments

 
The label Triple9 Collection has announced another batch of five new Volvo models. A precise release date has not been communicated. My guess is that you have at least six months before to save your money if you want one of these models. You can however pre-order each of the herewith listed models. There has been a price increase since the last announcement. The retail price has raised from 29.99 € to 30.99 € per model. The price for the recently announced emergency models has been fixed to 33.99 €. Each model is made out of diecast with plastic parts. They are made by Ixo in China for the label Triple9 Collection.

Volvo 780 Bertone by Triple 9 Collection

11/21/2014

1 Comment

 
Triple9Collection has finally released their first scale model. This rather new label had announced their first Volvo models back in the summer of 2013. And the first releases should have been available for September and October that same year. Finally and after a tiny delay of just a few months the first model - a Volvo 780 Bertone - has been released.

This diecast replica is made by Ixo in China. It looks very promising. The shape and dimensions of the scale model are correct. Ixo has scanned a real car to get a correct replica of the Volvo 780 Bertone. The alloy rims as well as the interior are very well reproduced. The model features a closed glass sunroof.And the side indicators tell us that the car represents the version for the US market.
But it would not be a product made in China without an issue. The model year written on the box says 1977. This is of course a big mistake. 1987 is the correct model year.

This 1:43 scale model is available in a limited edition of 1008 units. You can buy one for 29.99 € under item number T9-43040 at the diecastcompany.nl.

Nearly identical Volvo 780 Bertone scale models made by Ixo are also available under these labels :
  • Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas - wine red met.
  • Premium-X - blue metallic

Three newly decorated Volvo 343 diecast models will be offered under the label Triple9 Collection. They will be produced in China by Ixo. Especially Police car fans will be glad to see this. Two of the announced Volvo 343 models will be Police versions.  The three 1:43 scale models are:

Volvo 343
  • model-year: 1981
  • color: yellow
  • extra details: with original long bumpers
  • limited edition of 504 pieces
  • Item number: T9-43055

Volvo 343 ''Rijkspolitie Schiphol Airport''

All three models can already be pre-ordered at the website diecastcompany.nl. They are expected to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2014. My intuition tells me that they will only be ready for next year.

The Dutch shop The Diecast CompanY has once again announced four Volvo scale models which will be available in new colors. These Volvo models are the same as those already released in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas and who have also just been announced by Premium-X ( see here ). These 1:43 scale diecast models made by Ixo will be available for 30.99 € a piece. The 'The Diecast CompanY' writes that those models will be released in the second quarter. But this is in my eyes very doubtful since their previously announced models from last autumn are still not available.

The newly announced Volvo models are :

- 1955    Volvo P1900 convertible         light blue with red interior, red rims       1 of 1008             item # T9-43047

- 1978    Volvo 244                              red                                                    1 of 1008             item # T9-43044
- 1991    Volvo 240 Polar ( break )        dark blue                                            1 of 1008             item # T9-43045

Previously announced and not yet released models by 'The Diecast CompanY' :

- 1965    Volvo P1800 Jensen              dark green with brown interior               1 of 600              item # T9-43008
- 1966    Volvo Amazon break              cream with brown/beige interior            1 of 1008             item #  T9-43041
- 1967    Volvo 144S                            blue with black interior                        1 of 600              item #  T9-43007
- 1971    Volvo 145 Express                 black with brown interior                      1 of 600              item #  T9-43011
- 1972    Volvo P1800 ES                    blue metallic with beige interior             1 of 600              item #  T9-43009
- 1973    Volvo 142                              light blue with black interior                 1 of 600               item #  T9-43010
- 1988    Volvo 780 Bertone                  silver metallic with black interior          1 of 1008             item #  T9-43040

All these models will be offered under the label 'Triple 9 Collection'. More infos will follow as soon as they come available.

Ixo models in new colors for a Dutch retailer

1/14/2014

0 Comments

 
The Dutch retailer The Diecast CompanY has announced a batch of Volvo models by IXO in new and exclusive colors. Each 1:43 scale model will be offered as a limited edition. Every model will be packed in a special gray/black Triple 9 window box. I resume in the following table the so far announced models because some infos have changed since I first wrote about these models.
-   1965
-   1966
-   1967
-   1971
-   1972
-   1973
-   1988

#  T9-43040    NEW

The models who have already been announced were then limited to 504 units. The Diecast CompanY writes now that each run will consist of 600 pieces. I guess it might change one more time.

The first release dates have not been respected. All the models are now announced to become available in the second quarter of 2014. This is however without any guarantee.

More infos will follow as soon as they come available.

Volvo Amazon break and Volvo 780 Bertone by Premium-X

1/13/2014

0 Comments

 
Premium-X has announced several new 1:43 scale diecast models. This is in fact a logical consequence since Ixo / Premium-X is allowed to offer the models which they are producing for Editions Atlas' Volvo Collection. Ixo has to respect however two restrictions : they have to wait at least six months after a model has appeared for the first time in the Volvo Collection and they must offer the model in a different color.

Here are a few of the upcoming Premium-X models :

1966   Volvo Amazon break      light green      item # PRD373
1988   Volvo 780 Bertone       dark blue        item # PRD371

The retail price for these models is 30.99 €.

These two models will also be manufactured in a limited edition for the Dutch shop The Diecast CompanY

1966   Volvo Amazon break      cream with brown/beige interior     limited to 1008 pieces      item # T9-43041
1988   Volvo 780 Bertone       silver metallic with black interior      limited to 1008 pieces      item # T9-43040

These models will be offered in a special decorated box under the label Triple-9 Collection. The retail price remains the same.

This store has already announced last summer some limited edition Premium-X models who were planned to be released September and October 2013. None of them have yet been delivered.
