Talk:Die-cast toy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I removed the link to White Rose in the company section. There is no indication on that page they did diecast toys. None of the links in the White Rose (disambiguation) page looked like toy makers either. VikÞor [[User talk:Vik-Thor|Talk]] 00:09, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't know where the comment " British die-cast toy fans were particular in that they called every die-cast model, no matter what company they were produced by, a "matchbox"" came from, unless it refers either to "nerdy" collectors, or to the period after 1970 or so. The brands Dinky, Corgi, Spot-On and Matchbox in particular were always clearly separated. There were a number of other brands in the car field, usually cheap, low- quality imports, but they were just toys for the little kids.

I'd also like to see separate sections about non- road transport die- cast toys. Like Lone Start miniature tools and push-along trains (TrebleO), and toy guns- I was really jealous of my big brother's friend who had a revolver with real separate bullets, that you had to load with caps separately, instead of the long strip that cheap guns had.
