A Little Update From Oxford Diecast About Our Prices

As with almost everything these days, the cost of making things continues to rise, and unfortunately, model manufacturing is no exception.

We wanted to take a moment to explain some changes you may notice in our pricing over the coming months.

Behind every Oxford Diecast model is a manufacturing process involving metal, plastic, paint, printing, assembly and packaging. Many of these materials and processes have become more expensive, alongside the costs of transporting our models from the factories to our warehouse here in Swansea.

Throughout 2026, we have tried to shield our customers from these increases wherever possible.

Rather than increasing prices across our entire range, we made the decision to introduce revised pricing only as new models arrived into stock, keeping existing models at their established prices for as long as we could.

You may already have noticed that a newly released colour or livery is sometimes priced slightly differently from an earlier version of the same model. This is simply because the newer model reflects today's manufacturing costs, whilst the earlier release has remained at its original price.

So, what happens next?

For the remainder of 2026, newly arriving models will continue to reflect the increased costs of production.

From January 2027, we will be reviewing and updating prices across our existing range to bring them into line with our revised pricing structure.

We know nobody likes to hear about price increases, and we certainly don't enjoy making them.

As a family business, we understand the importance of value for money. We also know that many of you have been collecting Oxford Diecast models for years, and we never take that loyalty for granted.

Our aim remains exactly the same: to bring you an exciting and varied range of detailed models at prices that represent good value.

Thank you, as always, for supporting Oxford Diecast. It really does mean a great deal to us.
