MBI's Danbury Mint division is a distinguished and influential player in the
world of precision die-cast scale models. Our replicas of classic cars and
trucks are deemed the industry's "gold standard" by an international
customer base of discriminating collectors.
Our success in this category can be attributed to many factors, including:
A Built-in Customer Base
Our in-house mailing list of avid die-cast model collectors is more than a million names strong. It consists of customers who demand an exceptional level of engineering excellence and accuracy in their models.
A Reputation for Unparalleled Levels of Detail and Authenticity
Compared to models from other marketers, MBI's replicas have a greater parts count (and therefore a higher level of detail), more sophisticated engineering, a higher level of decoration, and most importantly, an exceptional level of accuracy and authenticity. The engine/interior/trim packages on our models are all thoroughly researched, and paint colors are matched to factory color chips (other marketers routinely paint some of their models in non-authentic colors).
Top Ratings from Independent Experts and Enthusiasts
Collectors in leading organizations like the Die-cast Car Collectors Club consistently rank MBI models above those of the competition, in reviews and discussions on the club's official Web site, The Diecast Zone (www.diecast.org).
Unmatched Brand Loyalty
MBI has a long history of sales to customers who insist on owning the Danbury Mint version of a particular vehicle, even when they already own a model of the same vehicle by another marketer. Many collectors refuse to settle for less than the compelling authenticity of MBI models.
