Why almost every manafacture...
of the american die-cast models discontinued american line or went bankrupts?
Solido, ERTL, FM , Johnny Lightning, New ray stopped
Rextoys, White Rose, Gearbox, Anson, Buby, Detail cars, Vitesse, Road champs and Matchbox went out of business
all we have it's Autoart, Minichamps, Ixo and Norev with a very narrow assortment.
Is it a bad karma?

I think ALL of the models manufacturers go broke every now and then.
This is not related to US cars, in my opinion. Except for Autoart, which is fairly new, all of the diecast manufacturers changed hands in the last 10 years, some of them multiple times. If not that, than they were created on the ruins of the previous guys' work...

Ain't that the truth? That's why we have something money can't buy: abject poverty.
