Filling the Convention Center, 2012’s event was the most interactive to date with the Die Cast X Collector’s Expo offering both the experienced and the newly curious countless opportunities to try everything these hobbies have to offer. Vendors were plentiful, selling everything from ready to run remote control kits to diecast collectibles to slot car tracks – and never before seen deals were to be had all weekend long as consumers were leaving the show with their hands full of goodies.

Mid-day Saturday became a “who’s who”, as celebrities were seen at RCX all weekend long. Jarrod and Brandi from Storage Wars, Jimmy Shine from Car Warriors, Mad Mike from Pimp My Ride, Catherine Bach – Miss Daisy Duke herself, George Barris of Barris Kustoms, and NHRA driver Shirley Muldowney were just a few of the countless notables found signing autographs and walking around RCX, greeting fans and testing their skills behind many of the interactive activities.
