Not all die cast has gone down , some has done quite well .. that Snake f/c that makes noise have gone up 10x of original purchase price , I bought one in 2004 right when they came out , think I paid $150.00 for it .. sold it in 2018 for $800 .. I see now they go for $1250
I pretty much stopped buying them in 2012 for the most part , wanted one of the 1/18 ramp trucks , original price on them was $135 , not they are all $300
