  Consider starting with a variety of economical models when buying for a new collector rather than one expensive model.
  
  
• 5). Remember, some manufacturers jump on the bandwagon of "special paint schemes," especially for racing vehicles.

  Remember that die-cast models can be something other than automobiles. You can find Harley-Davidson motorcycles, trucks, fire engines, buses, pickup trucks, and steam-powered vehicles. Consider ships, airplanes, farm implements, military figures and military equipment die casts as well.
