There was a huge amount of new models announced by these two brands at the recent annual toy fair in Nürnberg, Germany... We've split them into 12 categories to make things a bit more workable, 1 for BBR and 11 for Minichamps. Some items don't yet have the actual model images supplied, so we will add and update these as they become available.
BBR - 1:18
