2016 marked Model Citizen’s first full calendar year in business, and by any reasonable metric it was a success. We owe a great deal of that success to you, the LaLD community, and to say thank you, we’re launching a new “Model of the Month” program exclusively for Live and Let Diecast! readers. Every month, we’re going to offer a different 1:18 or 1:43-scale car at a great discount, just for you.
For January, we’re featuring AUTOart’s 1:43-scale Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500 Group A, the car that brought Ford and Eggenberger Motorsports the 1988 ETCC team title with Klaus Ludwig and Steve Soper at the wheel. The Cossie is a part of AUTOart’s line of opening-hood 1:43 diecast cars; if you’ve seen their E30 M3 Evo from this range, you know they’ve packed an unusual amount of detail into a tight, reasonably priced package. For fans of ‘80s touring car racing, this one is a can’t-miss model.
Thanks to a special deal from the manufacturer, our regular price on the Sierra is $35, but as the January LaLD special, we’re offering it to you for $28. Just enter coupon code “LALDJAN” at checkout to get the discount. Offer ends January 31st, when we’ll introduce next month’s car.
Oh yeah, did we mention that shipping in the lower 48 is FREE? That’s right: the people have spoken. Model Citizen is moving to a free-shipping pricing model for domestic orders…ALL domestic orders. No minimum price thresholds. No surprises at checkout. (Sorry Alaska and Hawaii, there’s a surcharge for you. Hey, it’s beautiful where you live…take solace in that.) Our friends abroad will also find that we’ve reduced our shipping rates for international orders, too.
Looking down the road, we’re planning to offer an even wider variety of models at competitive prices throughout the year. We’re also tackling some new events here on the west coast…not to give too much away, but if you’re planning on being in the Monterey area in August, well, maybe we’ll see you around.
Happy New Year!
