Minichamps Cancels its Military Campaign

MIN350025001

Minichamps has confirmed what we had feared for some time now – the cancellation of its eagerly awaited second issue T-72 tank and 7th issue Leopard 2A4 main battle tank. No reason was provided concerning their decision to cancel these subjects, which had been on the books for several years running. Its not clear if this signals the death of Minichamps military vehicle series since these were the only two tanks still to be released and we have yet to see their 2013 program. Please contact us if you prepaid for either of these items using PayPal and are entitled to a refund.

New Years

As 2012 draws to a close, we’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of our longtime customers as well as the many newcomers that have joined our growing family over the past twelve months.

So, here’s to a happy new year, bright and prosperous future, and, of course, a well-deserved thank you for patronizing our site. We look forward to serving your needs in the year ahead…

Product Reviews: Why They're Important

After a customer receives an order from us, an automated email is generated and sent out to the recipient asking about the level of service they received, the quality of the product and other important pieces of information which are aimed at evaluating the shopping experience. So why is this important? For starters, we’re truly interested in hearing about a customer’s comments, be they good or bad, and strive to make improvements where ever and when ever possible. Moreover, each product is reviewed with stars which now appear as “rich snippets” when someone does a search on Google for the product in question. This enables other would-be customers the opportunity to see the item at-a-glance as well as gauge its overall quality and the customer’s shopping experience from that particular merchant. Essentially, the customer is helping the next person in line evaluate whether or not they should consider the item and from whom they should purchase it. Hope that makes sense and we hope everyone enjoys this new feature as we continue to move forward…

The Motor Pool Blog: Bigger is Better!

Now that our web hosting solution has completed the necessary upgrades to our site, we will be utilizing our newly integrated blog to report new product announcements and the arrival of key items, as well as post general news pieces we would ordinarily debut on our News pages. Our new blog has a great many tools and features we plan to utilize in the coming weeks, which are designed to improve the user experience and keep us more in touch with our customer base. Once we feel comfortable that the blog is working as planned, we will deactivate our current news page and utilize it for other means. We hope you enjoy the coming improvements.
