The birth of the Diecast Car Hobby.

Although people have been collecting cars for many years, back in 1997, Michael Knab and Jay Olins created the Diecast Zone.  This was a website on behalf of his ad agency client, Revell-Monogram, who had created a new scale (1:20^th) model to compete against Franklin Mint.  Franklin Mint had some years earlier popularised the hobby of collecting scaled model cars.

Michael Knab knew that when Franklin Mint had popularised the hobby, there was no Internet. With this in mind, he knew that he would have a distinct advantage if he were the first to popularise this on the World Wide Web. The rest is history, and now the sale of Diecast Car models has exploded across the world, making the Diecast Car Hobby what it is today, enjoyed by millions.

What distinguishes these Diecast Car models from other model cars?

First of all, these Diecast Car Models are not like the little models you once found in a box of Crackerjack or a Christmas Cracker. They are scaled and made to perfection. If you could shrink yourself down to their scale, you would find yourself standing next to a brand new car. That’s how detailed they are, and because of this, they become highly collectible. This is why the market for them today is so great.

How do I know what sort of Diecast Car Model to buy if I want to start collecting?

All are good as they are of such high quality, but it would seem that the most popular-sized Diecast Car is at a scale of 1:43. Apart from that, the choice is yours. However, some collectors will collect their favorite car, while others mix and match whatever takes their fancy. However, If you intend to assemble your model cars for investment opportunities, you must keep your models in pristine condition, and I mean, as if they have just come out of the box. Some even leave them in the box and never think of opening them.

Another reason for their popularity is their gigantic selection. Diecast Hobbyist on Bargainbrute.com has over 50,000 different Firetrucks, sports cars, police cars, and of course, the classics. Plus, now and again, Diecast Cars' makers come out with special editions for Diecast Hobbyist exclusively, which by themselves are incredibly collectible and make a good investment for the future.

The above is why BargainBrute.com and the 49 stores on their website were voted “The best place to shop online in 2019”.   You can rest assured that they will always have those special editions in stock whenever you want them. Furthermore, with their award-winning customer service open 24 hours / 7days a week, you can be sure that your Diecast car hobby experience will only get better no matter how long you have been collecting.

The Model Car Hall of Fame

Yes, you read it correctly. The Diecast car Hobby craze is so popular that they have their own hall of fame, which has become an annual awards ceremony held in Las Vegas. In 2017 the event proved so successful that over 70 clubs, forums, and blogs from 18 countries attended.  The ceremony was as opulent as the annual Oscar awards.

Looking back to the 1950s while growing up in the United Kingdom, I can remember a little model car stuffed into the very bottom of my Christmas stocking. One year I got a small red fire engine, one that I kept for years, oh do I wish I had kept hold of them all.

In ending, while writing this short article, I found myself wandering back to my childhood, it was just after the second world war, and England was still under both food and resource rationing, but even then, the seed was planted with that little red fire engine. A fire engine that caused me to become a collector of many things throughout my long and varied life.

Many thanks for taking the time to read, and welcome to the world of the Diecast Car Hobby Revolution. Check the models out, and have fun while doing so.
