Did You Know? Anecdotes and Curiosities about our Miniatures

What is special about the Hachette collection of model cars?

Hachette Collections offers themed series of model cars accompanied by detailed booklets. Each model comes with a magazine containing the vehicle's history, technical specifications, and historical anecdotes, transforming each purchase into a true automotive lesson.

Why are some Hachette models more sought after than others?

Early issues in a Hachette collection are often sold at a discounted price to attract collectors, making them affordable entry-level pieces. Conversely, later issues are produced in more limited quantities because many collectors drop out along the way, making these models rarer and more sought-after.

What is the most common scale of Hachette model cars?

Hachette generally favors the 1:43 scale for its car collections. This scale offers an excellent compromise between the level of detail and storage space, allowing for faithful reproduction of vehicle details while remaining easily displayed in a standard display case.

How does Hachette choose which models to include in its collections?

Hachette selects its models based on several criteria: the vehicle's historical impact, its popularity with the public, and its representativeness of a particular era or automotive style. The collections often combine iconic cars, legendary racing models, and everyday vehicles that have left their mark on their era.

What is the typical resale value of a complete Hachette collection?

A complete Hachette collection typically sells for between 60% and 80% of its original purchase price, depending on the series' popularity and the condition of the models. The most sought-after collections, such as 'Legendary Cars' or 'Supercars', hold their value better than more general series, especially if the booklets are kept in perfect condition.
