Read more →The Toys Garage is a 1:64 diecast collecting blog built for people who actually hunt the pegs. You'll find hands-on Hot Wheels and Matchbox reviews, Treasure Hunt and Super Treasure Hunt guides, Red Line Club (RLC) news, printable checklists, and deep dives into underrated brands like Majorette, Norev and SIKU — plus original diorama builds you won't see anywhere else.
Everything here comes from one real collection of more than 800 cars, photographed and written up by someone who has spent two decades chasing castings and opening blister packs. That means no sponsored fluff and no recycled press releases — just honest opinions on what's worth buying, what to skip, and where the hidden gems are hiding. Whether you opened your first blister pack last week or you've been collecting since the Redline era, there's a lane here for you. Pull up a stool — the garage is open.

Read more →The Toys Garage started the way every good collection does: with one car that was supposed to be the only one. Today it is a growing archive of reviews, guides and photography covering the entire 1:64 world — from the dollar-store mainline to the rarest Super Treasure Hunts and Red Line Club exclusives.
What sets us apart is not the size of the collection — it is the angle. We shoot our own photos, build our own dioramas, and give real coverage to the European brands like Majorette, Norev and SIKU that the big sites treat as an afterthought. No sponsored fluff, no recycled press releases. Just one collector documenting the hobby honestly, the way we would want to read about it ourselves.
Your 1:64 Diecast Hub: Hot Wheels, Rare Brands & Dioramas
Whether you are chasing your first Treasure Hunt or tracking down a rare Majorette casting, The Toys Garage covers the 1:64 hobby from every angle. We are a collector-run blog, not a store — every review, guide and photo comes from a personal collection of more than 800 cars built over two decades.
Hot Wheels, Matchbox and the rare brands
Most English-language sites stop at Hot Wheels and Matchbox. We go further. Alongside mainline reviews, premium lines, Super Treasure Hunts and Red Line Club (RLC) news, we give real coverage to underrated European brands like Majorette, Norev and SIKU — the castings that are hard to find in North America but loved everywhere else.
Guides, checklists and honest buying advice
Before you spend a peso on a car, our collecting guides and checklists help you identify castings, spot fakes and repaints, verify release years, and decide what is actually worth chasing. New collectors can start with the beginner guide; veterans can dig into variations, case codes and chase cars.
Original dioramas and honest opinions
We also build and photograph our own dioramas — the kind of one-of-a-kind scenes you cannot buy. Above all, every opinion here is our own: no sponsored placements, no recycled press releases, just an honest take on what is worth chasing and what is not. New posts drop every week, so pull up a stool and stay a while.
