Welcome to the new look Diecastinvestor.

DiecastInvestor was founded in 2002, right at the dawn of the eCommerce revolution, with a passion for preserving and sharing the magic of vintage diecast models.

Our mission has always been clear: to provide collectors and enthusiasts with an exceptional online experience while offering an unrivalled selection of classic Corgi, Dinky, and Matchbox toys.

Now, nearly two decades later, we are proud to unveil our fourth and finest incarnation—sleek, fast, and better than ever.

Corgi, Dinky, and Matchbox toys are more than just collectables; they represent a rich legacy of craftsmanship and innovation. Dinky Toys, launched in 1934 by Meccano Ltd., revolutionised the toy industry as one of the first diecast vehicle lines, setting the standard for detailed, high-quality miniature models.

Corgi Toys followed in 1956, bringing groundbreaking realism with features like working suspensions, opening doors, and the iconic ‘Glidamatic’ spring suspension.

Then came Matchbox in 1953, designed to fit neatly into a child’s pocket, making these tiny treasures a global sensation. Each brand holds a special place in the hearts of collectors, and we are honoured to continue their legacy by offering an extensive selection of these nostalgic gems.

Our newly upgraded website is designed to be the ultimate destination for diecast collectors. Alongside a fresh new look and enhanced navigation, we’ve also upgraded our servers to ensure a seamless, lightning-fast browsing experience. Whether you’re hunting for rare Corgi and Matchbox Superfast models or expanding your collection with vintage treasures from lesser-known brands like Jouef and Metosul, we’ve got you covered.

But our passion doesn’t stop there. We take pride in curating one of the most comprehensive archives of vintage diecast catalogues, spanning Corgi, Dinky, Matchbox, and beyond. This invaluable resource is perfect for collectors looking to trace the history of their favourite models.

We also understand the thrill of the chase. If you’ve been searching for an elusive model but don’t have the time to track it down, let us do the work for you with our personalised client search service. And if you’re looking to sell, we’re always interested in purchasing high-quality individual models or entire collections in excellent to mint condition. Details can be found under our selling menu.

At DiecastInvestor, we remain dedicated to being the most trusted source for premium vintage Corgi, Dinky, and Matchbox toys. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just starting your journey, we welcome you to explore our collection and experience the joy of these timeless classics. As we approach our 21st anniversary, we’re more excited than ever for the next 20 years—and beyond!

Happy collecting!
