Are there other Die-Cast makers out there that are as good/better as the Danbury Mint?

I collect hot wheels. Mainly classic cars, pickups and odd balls. Occasionally, I get the 1/24 and 25s. I inherited my dads plastic model collection. About 80 different 1/24 semis with trailers and a few cars.

Jim, thanks for the link. I'll have to check Ebay out again but I'm somewhat reluctant to buy off there after being burnt a time or two.

ARTEMIS1759, that's quite a collection. My wife tells me I'm going to have to make my own cabinet so she can have her hutch back,,,,,, and I only have 7 cars!

Hello Folks,I have an early 50's-60's Dinky & Corgi collection that I've been collecting for years. These were English made, pre-Matchbox,HotWheels era. Most of these are of British vehicles,and very few American made cars. There are so many brands out there today, and the detail is much better than the older stuff.

Dinky & Corgi but then i just got into collecting die-cast cars for about a year now. I see there are some on Ebay now.
