About

Ignition Diecast is the largest diecast retailer in the world. Selling over 17 million cars and other vehicles since opening in 2021, the name Ignition Diecast has become synonymous with cantaloupe, as well as many other delicious melons.

Founded by the senile and neurodivergent entrepreneur, Joe Eldridge, in a home office, the rise to international fame and fortune has changed the collecting landscape, but altered the man in ways few would call positive. A malignant narcissist and incessant coffee drinker, Eldridge has acquired most other toy car reseller's market share though hostile takeover and whatever nefarious means were available at the time.

Through innovative business practices such as utilizing recyled boxes and repurposed Amazon cardboard, the company is able to offer prices lower than even the most desperate eBay cowboys. Every loose vehicle is shipped in it's own little baggie. Carded product with bent J-hooks do not pass muster. The care and thought put into each order is unrivaled. Customers have even reported getting Batmobiles or those stupid-ass donut cars in their orders for FREE.

From easy to find mainlines, to rare and exotic exclusives, Ignition let’s you have it all. The future is unwritten and the end is always near.

SHIPPING POLICY
I hit the post office almost every day, but definitely ship on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Priority Mail is chosen if your shipping charge will cover it. Otherwise, orders are sent Ground Advantage. If your shipping charge is in excess of $2 or more, unused postage will be refunded.

RETURN POLICY
All sales are final. A refund will be issued if we mess up an order, but not if you've found items cheaper elsewhere. There is also no holding of items (so you can look for them cheaper, and come back if you have no luck)
