Looking forward to these 1:64 scale Lincoln Navigators arriving in March. The company is WTX...anyone know anything about them? I know that they are also producing a Mercedes sedan, but details are pretty sparse.

The Navigator looks pretty nice. I am not familiar with WTX. In the past year, new companies from China making these upscale models have been coming out of the woodwork by the dozens. It appears that these 1/64 upscale models are experiencing a real boom. I have been buying some of the recent GFCC releases on Aliexpress and have found that the Chinese sellers quickly increase their prices on the hot sellers (popular colors) as they start to run out of stock. The less popular colors gradually drop in price over time.
Wow-wee! As I noted last month, 1/64 Lincolns appear to be the "in thing!" - And I have NO problem with that, being the Lincoln fan that I am. Obviously, what makes this "Nav." stand out is the posable steering & interior details, two things I ALWAYS love to see.
Thanks for the heads-up Dave; I will check out WTX. 😎 😀
Dave, thanks for the post. More nice models coming in 1/64 scale. I see you have been adding more 1/64 scale cars to the toycargeek website. Do you have any idea of the ratio of 1/64 scale to 1/43 scale cars you sell?

@ed-davis Good question. The majority of my sales is still 1:43, but 1:64 is catching up VERY quickly! I only seriously started ramping up the high-end 1:64 models over the last few months, and am starting to build a good clientele for that scale. My focus will always be 1:43, but I am so excited about the quality of the new 1:64s coming out that I had to dive deeper into it. Going forward I plan to stick to the higher-end models, and am going to phase out the Greenlight and similar models. I have no plans to venture into the "Kaido House" realm however; that genre holds no interest for me.

@daveg Are you planning to be at the Countryside show in March? If yes, do you plan to bring any of these 1/64 scale high-end models?

@ed-davis No, once it got cancelled I made other plans for that weekend.

Thanks for information. They look interesting. Does anyone know the demographics of purchasers of high-end 1/64 scale cars vs collectors of other scales (1/43, 1/18, etc.)?

@ed-davis Your answers lie somewhere within these reports; I suspect, however, that most of the pertinent info. you seek will not be free. There's BIG money to be made collecting & selling "customer demographics." Every business on earth values highly detailed & specific customer information. A "target customer base" is like gold! 😀 😀
