Wow... I didn't know there's info about upcoming releases so far in advance. :eek: That's some great stuff, especially looking forward to TVR Tuscan and Sagaris... it would be great to see such exotics in 1/64 scale.

Does anyone know something more about Legend of Circuit's Wolf series? Are these racing cars or are they from someone's collection?

I just sold my silver minichamps version, knowing that it was just a matter of time, before Kyosho produced the F1. I'm sure it will be as nicely detailed.

I think the Circuit's Wolf series is based on an older Japanese manga or comic book. Here's a line up based on a toy line that I'm not familiar with, but I suppose they will look similar to the Kyosho release.

Awesome releases, kyosho is leading my ranking of purchases for the last 4 years and every release is a hit for die cast collectors in 1/64.

Only hope they begin to work with another trademarks...Renault, Citröen...

I am just simply amazed at the quantity, quality and frequency of these Kyosho releases. These guys are cranking them out at a rate that nobody else comes close to touching.

NoTriumphs in Brit-2 = 3rd collection in the future?

I agree. In my mind Kyosho has the top spot in the world in terms of quality, variety, and volumn in the 1/64 die-cast cars. No other company even comes close. AutoArt is also great, but their selection is too few. Tomica Limited is another nice line, but mainly for Japanese cars. Minichamps is high quality but really low volumn and too expensive. There are many other lines to mention but that would be off the topic... My point is, Kyosho is really the best.

I'm currently putting together a list of all Kyosho releases and cars. By my count, from Ferrari #1 in 2005 up to Release #38 in late 2009, they would have made 369 unique car types with 911 variations. Of course this does include the F1 cars, racing bikes, 007, and the buses, but I'm not including the DyDo cars or the Beads Collection. If you want to talk about their large scale or 1/100 line then that would be even more impressive!

On Kyosho's web-site they've listed the release dates for each series but the info is missing for release #1 and #2 (Ferrari #1 and Lamborghini #1). Can someone here tell me the month/year that they were put on market?

Thanks,
Josh

Speaking of British car #3, if it ever gets made, I'd love to see a few Bentley or Rolls Royce. Tomica and Matchbox have made these cars before, so I'm sure Kyosho can afford the licensing. With the upcoming McLaren F1, Kyosho would have just about covered all the famous modern sports cars so it would nice for a change in flavor and make cars that go bling bling.
