Pretty interesting if they can get it cheap enough – customizers would love it … or combined with instant spray and graphics application, just push a button to get the diecast you want ,,, “Markforged’s printer, on the other hand, extrudes metal powder that’s held in place by plastic, which is then dissolved, and the […]

Majorette has some nice sculpts for $3.49 (cheap for diecasts nowadays with opening doors). But the regular wheel rims are a little weak. The black rims ones are nice for $3.49. No singles at Amazon but some of the box sets are available.

Fun “Hollywood” cars are out or coming from Greenlight. The 1:64 version of BREAKING BAD came out a while back (Amazon) – now, there’s a 1:43 version.
