- Diecast_Car_Collectors_Zone abstract "The Diecast Car Collectors Zone is an online community of scale model car collectors. The focus of these collectors is on pre-made replicas rather than those constructed from kits. The idea was to transform a solitary hobby and use the universal access the web offered so collectors could interact, show off collections and learn from each other. It has been in operation since July, 1997.The zone has helped fuel the expansion in diecast car brands. Through its reporting and reviews, collectors got their first exposure to a new breed of modelers dedicated to bringing much higher level of detail to the 1:18 scale. These brands included Exoto, GMP and CMC.Resources on the website represent the contributions of a core of over 25 volunteers. The site provides a permanent online repository for model issue listings, reviews and photography. The lists update information on 65 brands as of January 1, 2010 and contain over 20,000 individual listings. Access to the listings is free.The zone provides a valuation tool (Price Archive) that gives collectors a means to place a value on apiece. It is based on auctions conducted on the zone. In May 2009, a Pierce Arrow model that once sold for $109 in 1989 was purchased off the auction for $3,300.Other resources include new model announcements, how-to instructions, polls for favorite models, and interactive discussion forums. Once a year a group Wish List is run, in which collectors vote for the cars they most want to see modeled in the future. A list of the winning cars are communicated to the manufacturers.The Diecast Zone founded the Diecast Scale Model Hall of Fame to recognize leaders and innovators in the hobby. Recipients of the award have included company founders who shaped the hobby by raising the standard for quality and authenticity as well as broadening the subject matter.Raffi Minasian was The Franklin Mint's Design Director for Precision Models and Engineered Products from 1995 - 1999. Of the importance of the Diecast Zone, he writes: \"a pioneering entity, recognizing the value of the extended Die Cast model car community, the Zone developed such a large membership to directly influence the selection of images that would be developed by The Franklin Mint.\"".
