Herpa's Opel Manta B reissued blue/white but not in US

[bbussey]

Anyone in Europe have access to the latest Opel Manta B release from Herpa (#065726-002)?  They were released earlier this year and never made it to North America apparently.



The white car would come in especially handy since it can be repainted to any color.

Bryan,

They made it to North America because they are showing up on the Promotex web site.  http://www.promotex.ca/provisioner/catalogue/index.php?ProductLine=12&CategoryID=28&page=2

If you don't mind ordering from Germany, DM Toys has them, along with some vehicle models such as the Lemke VW T2 that is not available in the U.S.  http://www.en.dm-toys.de/liste/hersteller/herpa.html

Thanks Carter.  It was more economical to order five sets from DM Toys – the international shipping charges were more than reasonable and they take PayPal.  It's good to have them as a source.  I also picked up one of the VW T5 vans to see if it can be "Americanized" easily.

Bryan,

You are welcome.  Daniel and his wife, the owners of DM Toys, were at the National N Scale Convention in Medford in 2012.  I bought some vehicle models from them there, as well as ordered some more from Germany on a couple of occasions.  One of my favorites is the Lemke VW T2 Westphalia camper in the Flower Power paint scheme.  It even has the VW on the hubcaps!
