I would advise anyone who hasn't yet picked up the 2006 Schumacher special editions from Hot Wheels to do so before they're sold out. Because in my opinion the Shanghai and Monza versions are perhaps the best F1 models Hot Wheels have produced to date.
Many people have been rightly disappointed with their F1 efforts and don't agree with the price of their special editions - the latest 1/18 Ferrari F2007 doesn't look great and the 1/43 version is a joke, but they must be given some credit when they produce something good. Remember that when Minichamps announce special editions from a specific race more often than not they just stick the standard car in a special box. But with these limited editions they've created completely new moulds for each version. Below are a few photos showing the differences between the two cars.

Ok...I bought two. Base on your professional assessment, I trust you.
I am referring to your earlier statement on the cancellation of certain model by Minichamps. Then you said for the moment, Minichamps is licensed to make 1/18 McLaren and Sauber. What about the Honda F1 Racing team...with the "earth" liveries? Are we able to see this by Minichamps?
As far as I'm aware Minichamps are only producing the Honda in 1/43 scale. Sadly they only have the license to produce the McLarens and BMW Saubers in 1/18 scale.
Did Mattel produce the models with the livery at all or is it applied by consumers??
I have seen some with liveries on ebay and I haven't been able to find out if they are produced with the livery.
