The folks at The Diecast Magazine have informed us of the release of their first issue in North America. "After five years as one of the world's premier collecting magazines, we are proud to bring this exquisite publication to North America. High quality paper stock, content-rich articles and incredible professional photography has been a consistent trademark of this landmark publication. Based on the internationally acclaimed Australian publication, the North American edition is sure to satisfy even the most demanding collector. Published quarterly, each issue resembles a book more than a magazine. Each issue is perfect bound for longer-lasting reading enjoyment. Overflowing with more than 80 pages, the size, weight and feel will definitely impress you. The Diecast Magazine features top-quality images, detailing the most intricate features of any model and in-depth editorial and background information about a model’s 1:1 scale version. Existing as a top-quality magazine, the focus is on top-quality collectible diecast models. Small limited-edition runs of quality high-end production standards is what we admire. Of course, not everyone can afford this level of detail or exclusivity, so we accommodate for this large part of the market by including articles on many midmarket diecast models of road and race cars while also including heavy machinery, militaria and motorbikes as well. The Diecast Magazine is produced quarterly by professionally qualified and experienced personnel who are also diecast collectors and passionate motoring enthusiasts who have a common understanding about what readers demand. With decades of experience in all facets of publishing combined in the team at The Diecast Magazine, the information is relative, accurate and worth knowing. These are the core elements in every article that appears in The Diecast Magazine. Our first issue is going to be 80 pages and perfectly bound with a laminated nylon cover. Beautiful pictures, Interesting editorial and great columns. The Diecast Magazine will be every Barnes and Noble, Borders Books and Million Dollar Book Store in the U.S by November 1! Naturally when you’re the best, there will always be imitators and this is good, it’s what keeps The Diecast Magazine always fresh and in touch. The original magazine, 1:18 Diecast Downunder, was released in December 2003 and, still to this day, we remain the best at producing a quality publication about collectible diecast models."
