Ok unfortunately I am not aware of any places where you can get information from people-in-the-know, but I just spotted a black 1:43 Minichamps GTS (Minichamps number 430144024) on a Dutch auction site. Now that I think of it, a LONG while back it was announced that black and silver would be released, so finally seeing them on the market is awesome.
The thing that I do NOT recall was the release of a silver Gen 1 (Minichamps number 430144034), however upon browsing said auction site further I did find one??

I bought both 10 days ago in Paris during the RETRO. Good quality!

Minichamps always has good quality :) They should really be doing one in 1:18.

Funny, I really thought that black and silver GTS's were never made so far.. thanks for the info :2tu: Have seldomly seen these for sale on the net.
Speaking of that ACR GTS and black/silver GTS, weren't they an Eagle's Race model instead of Minichamps?
