Here are the sources where I get most of the info on each casting. Some of it is acquired from searching eBay listings, namely Majorette cars.
Finding information on unpopular things where most people don't think of recording data can be frustrating. Especially when the only places you can find them on are websites difficult to gain access to or even find on a search engine. Their useful information stays lost in the vast internet. I understand how that feels considering how I had to do the same to find even the most basic info on my collection. It serves to aid an easier search should others require further details on a specific product, and it's definitely understandable to not remember their URLs. This is why I've taken the liberty to list them all down for any future readers. Hope this proved to be helpful.
