The Entertainer launches Meccano sets with Aston Martin Aramco and Ducati

Reading Time: 2 mins read

Iconic construction brand, Meccano, enters a new chapter with two brand-new advanced sets available exclusively at The Entertainer, in partnership with iconic automotive brands Aston Martin Aramco and Ducati.

Available to shop online now via www.thetoyshop.com, the new product drop brings together Meccano’s 125 years of engineering heritage with some of the world’s most recognisable automotive brands, and includes two premium models created in partnership with Aston Martin Aramco Formula One and iconic motorcycle brand, Ducati.

Created with advanced collectors in mind, the two new products available to shop now at The Entertainer are:

  • Limited-Edition Meccano Pro Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Race Car, £200.00
  • Meccano Pro Ducati Monster Motorbike, £40.00

The limited-edition Meccano Pro Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Race Car set allows experienced builders to create a detailed 1:8-scale interpretation of the Aston Martin Aramco AMR25 using 1,203 Meccano pieces.

Featuring working steering and pistons, a removable engine cover and adjustable DRA, the collector-grade set celebrates the vehicle’s aerodynamic form and Racing Green finish and offers an immersive and technically rewarding construction experience.

Available now and priced at £200, the first 200 limited-edition sets will also include an exclusive collectible poster.

Also available exclusively at The Entertainer is the Meccano Pro Ducati Monster Motorbike, priced at £40. Featuring 315 real metal parts, builders can create an authentic, 1:12-scale model of the iconic bike, ready for display.

The set includes multi-piece wheels, working steering, coil-spring suspension and official Ducati decals, recreating the exposed engineering and unmistakable design of the Ducati Monster.

First developed in 1901 by British inventor Frank Hornby, Meccano has inspired generations to explore engineering through hands-on construction. Having been one of the UK’s biggest toy brands in the 1920s and 1930s, it moved through multiple different ownerships before being acquired by The Entertainer in 2025.

Now in its 125th year, Meccano’s distinctive system of reusable parts, nuts, bolts and tools has made it one of Britain’s most enduring and recognisable toy brands.

Jordan Wingrave, Buyer at The Entertainer, said: “Meccano has inspired curiosity, creativity and an understanding of engineering for generations. This new product drop marks a new chapter, respecting everything people love about the brand while introducing exciting new products and partnerships designed to inspire fans and collectors.

“We are particularly excited to work with Aston Martin Aramco and Ducati, two brands that share Meccano’s passion for design, performance and engineering, and we hope our shoppers enjoy discovering the new products as much as we have enjoyed creating them.”

The new Meccano Pro sets are available to shop now at www.thetoyshop.com.
