If you collect diecast cars, Sunday December 7th is your last chance to hunt for models before the year ends. Diecastarama is wrapping up 2025 with their final show at VFW 8681 in Spring Hill, and it’s worth the trip.
Doors open at 10:30 AM and the show runs until 1:30 PM. You’re looking at over 65 tables packed with everything from brand new releases to older editions that have been tough to track down. Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Johnny Lightning, Greenlight—all the brands collectors actually care about will be there. Whether you’re chasing specific models to finish a set or just browsing to see what catches your eye, there’s enough variety to keep you busy.
Cuba The Wheels Guy is setting up shop to do wheel swaps on your cars. If you’ve been wanting to upgrade your favorites or you’re getting into customs, he’ll have wheels available and can work on your cars right there. It’s one of those services you don’t find at every show, so take advantage if you’ve been sitting on cars that need better wheels.
The vendor lineup knows what they’re doing. These aren’t people clearing out random toys from their garage—they stock the stuff collectors hunt for. New releases sit next to harder-to-find past editions, so you can grab what just dropped and fill gaps in your collection at the same time. Walking every table matters because you never know who’s got that one car you’ve been searching for.
Custom Hot Wheels will be on display throughout the show. If you’ve been curious about getting into customizing but don’t know where to start, this is your chance to see finished work up close and ask questions. The custom scene has blown up lately, and seeing what people are building might be the push you need to try it yourself.
Admission is two bucks. Kids under 13 get in free, and so do wives and girlfriends, making it easy to bring the whole family without spending much. The location is VFW 8681 at 18940 Drayton Street in Spring Hill, Florida—easy to find and plenty of parking.
Diecast shows work because everyone there speaks the same language. You can geek out over casting details, complain about distribution problems, and get excited when someone pulls out a car you haven’t seen in person. Kids get into it just as much as adults, making it one of those hobbies that actually brings families together instead of everyone staring at screens.
This is the last show until 2026, so if you’ve been meaning to check out Diecastarama or you need to grab some models before the holidays, Sunday is the day. Three hours to browse, talk cars, maybe do some wheel swaps, and add to your collection before the year closes out.
