Our History:

Back in 1995 U.S. collectors of die cast model cars could only choose between Franklin Mint and Danbury Mint models in 1:24 scale.  Fairfield Collectibles entered the market and immediately broke the mold, introducing American die-cast collectors to larger 1:18 scale diecast models at much more reasonable prices than anything available from Franklin or Danbury.

Fairfield Collectibles’ catalog and web site offers some of the largest selection and greatest value in diecast replicas in all scales from 1:64 (the smallest we offer) to 1:18 scale (the largest we offer) mailing over 2,000,000 catalogs a year to avid die cast  collectible buyers nationwide!

As a pioneer in the affordable diecast collectible U.S. market Fairfield Collectibles was instrumental in creating the collector’s market for 1:18 scale die-cast during the late 1990s.  Before Fairfield entered the marketplace early 1:18 models were not very accurately proportioned and had only a few if any working features.

As we expanded the market for 1:18 scale diecast new manufactures jumped into the category and began to create many new molds making for some interesting and unique vintage and historic cars.  Die cast manufactures like Ertl, Yat Ming (now Lucky Die Cast), Motormax, Maisto, Bburago and Welly were the first to recognize this new market and paved the way for new premium manufactures like Motor City Classics, Sunstar, Signature, Highway 61, AutoArt and GMP to enter the newly expanding 1:18 scale collectible segment.

Today manufactures like Acme Diecast, Greenlight Collectibles, Round 2, Shelby Collectibles, Minichamps, Lucky Diecast (formerly Yat Ming) and CMC Classic Model Cars continue the tradition of crafting incredibly detailed 1:18 die-cast replicas that collectors are proud to display in their homes.

Fairfield Collectibles has also been a strong proponent of 1:24 scale diecast models.  Early in the 2000s Fairfield partnered with Franklin Mint to promote and develop value priced diecast models based on Franklin Mints high end and exclusive tools.  That led to many new value priced 1:24 scale die cast coming to market from manufacturers such as RBI Toys, New Ray, Welly and M2 Machines.  Though not as detailed as a Franklin or Danbury Mint replicas these cars offered great features and a fantastic look for less than a quarter of the price of those high end scale models.  

Virtually all larger scale 1:18 and 1:24 scale models produced in recent years have opening doors, hoods, and trunks along with functional steering wheels which turn the front wheels.  All these collectible diecast cars feature very nicely rendered interior details and often include nicely appointed and wired engines underneath the hood.  Many even include a working suspension system. 

You can also find higher end models that are trimmed out in genuine leather interiors, movable windshield wipers, pivoting bucket seatbacks that tilt forward, adjustable sun visors and even glove compartment doors that open. 

The size of these diecast classic collectable cars can range from 7” to 9” inches for 1:24 scale model replicas and from 10” to 13” inches long for some of the largest 1:18 scale models.
