EXPO
Kicking off our tour of diecast expos in 2022 was Malaysia and it’s always great to be there. So much to see and of course so much to eat. As always, the attached Comic-con was a blast and it was good to be back and feel the vibe.

Loaded with loads of cars, deals, accessories, and giveaways the Malaysia Diecast Expo got underway after a bit of a Covid-19 hiatus leaving fans of the hobby feeling like they have been released into the wild world of diecast. We were taken aback by the scale of sales that were happening and the tables and pegs were getting emptier and emptier pretty fast. There was a hunger and appetite to buy cars and that was pretty much it.
So unlike the past events 2022 was all about getting out the remaining stock and showing off a lot of the new samples that will be coming out in 2023. As for us CastHeads, we rocked up there with plenty of majorette and MSZ giveaways as well as an entire box of PUMA Motorsport gear for CastHeads fans at the event. We did feel like better dressed Santa Clauses getting into the spirit of giving and of coursing meeting fans of the magazine.
We also got a chance to talk one on one with some of the vendors and dealers at the event as well as talk to collectors about the magazine and the BUMPR app which is something we have created to serve collectors of all scales and brands to help keep their collection cataloged.
POP Race was heavy on hand with some of the latest models that they will be producing for 2023 including new tooling for the Bozosuku as well as a plethora of new SINGER models and colors that will be up for orders soon. MINI GT was also there with a lot of new releases which you can check out in further detail on our Instagram.
As always, we had a great time, and we were happy that we could put quite a few smiles on the faces of people of all ages. Also, it was great working with some cool brands who were nice enough to send us some stuff to give away to our fans. We hope 2023 will be bigger and return to the same crazy fun as the years before. See all you guys and girls soon!
