What newsgroup especially deals with die-cast toys and slot cars?
A. The most appropriate newsgroup is rec.toys.cars. The newsgroup was first established in 1995 in order to provide a forum for discussion on collectible toy cars. While the majority of posts refer to Hot Wheels, posts regarding any toy car (or truck) are welcomed. Besides the die-cast varieties such as Matchbox, Dinky, Corgi, Majorette, Tomica, Road Champs, Racing Champions and others, discussions are also encouraged regarding Tonka toys, Brooklins, Buddy L, Marx, Franklin and Danbury Mints, battery-operated toys, windup toys, tin toys, cast iron, white metal, plastic, slot cars, and any other toy or precision scale model cars and trucks. Two binary newsgroups allow images of toys and models to be posted along with text. alt.binaries.models.scale focuses mostly on plastic model kits, but often showcases diecast models. The more appropriate newsgroup for diecast toys is alt.binaries.toy-cars.
