In a post on HOTWHEELSCOLLECTORS.COM, accomplished Hot Wheels Author Mike Zarnock announced that he will begin writing a new column for Die Cast X Magazine now that Toy Cars & Models Magazine will be closing its doors. Its unfortunate to see the end of Toy Cars & Models as it was a great source of information for die cast collectors and enthusiasts. On the other hand, its good to see that we’ll all still be able to enjoy Mike’s articles in Die Cast X. Here is what Mike had to say:

“As some of you may already know…. Toy Cars & Models Magazine’s last issue published was the February 2008 issue. It’s with a heavy heart that I have to say goodbye to my column in Toy Cars & Models. I’d like to thank you all for your support over the many wonder years that we’ve spent there together! From the first time that my column appeared between those pages in the March 2003 issue to it’s very last issue of February 2008. We’ve talked about a lot of different things in those years and I hope that I’ve helped to make you all more knowledgeable collectors, saved you from making some costly mistakes and helped you to find some really great pieces for your collections! I’ve made many new friends and have had the pleasure of meeting many of you in person in my travels across the country. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and I remember it all forever!”

“I have been talking with other publications about doing my Hot Wheels Variation Column there and we are still working out the details. I do know that I can now tell you that I will be writing for Die Cast X Magazine, I actually just wrote a nice piece on the 40th anniversary for them, so look for that in an upcoming issue! I will be writing more for them in future issues also, I can’t say what I will be writing about yet, but I can say it is about Hot Wheels! So, I hope you pick up a copy of Die Cast X Magazine and check it out!”

“Of course I will be still writing my Variation Books and the Warman’s Books too. It was just Toy Cars & Models that stopped being published. Keep checking my website for updates!”

“Thanks again for the support and keep those emails coming!”

-Mike Zarnock

Best of luck to Mike and Die Cast X Magazine on their new collaboration!
