Hello from Nuremberg!

Spielwarenmesse 2016 is officially underway, and the big news is Diecast Masters! It was very exciting to finally see the new and updated Caterpillar models on display complete with their operators in place. Yes, you'll notice a figure is now included in the drivers seat. You'll also notice the new metal packaging for the Highline models is quite impressive. The packaging for the Core Classic Series has received an updated look, plus the inner packaging is a clam shell with NO WIRE TIES!!! As good as these look in pictures, they look even better in person.

 

The lights on the new underground models are pretty great, right? They are not ready for release yet, but they are certainly something to look forward to later this year. Diecast Masters is now available for pre-order at 3000toys.com. We are expecting our first shipment in early March so now is the time to reserve yours. Shop now at 3000toys.com.
