totally agree steve!!!

hirvonen and loeb ds3 are out i get my hirvonen cars in june and now i have sold all:)

they are a joke

IXO aren't the only ones, though. The whole diecast market is changing as China, or more particularly the factories that make the models in China, are changing.

Instead of doing relatively low numbers of many different models, the factories are lloking to do larger numbers of a smaller range to keep costs down. They're also losing skilled workers to better paid jobs in the cities. It's all going on in China!!

Added to that, the parent companies are spending less on investing in new tooling and consequently, as the balance between supply and demand changes, the prices go up and production of new models slows down.

Not good for us collectors!!

Think I've got that right! This Hampton Caught, reporting for the BBC, now back to the studio! Steve
