Hi Ulf, many thanks for your follow-up message. You're right there's no hope with Aa; i gave up waiting for their green metallic Alfa Romeo Montreal long ago. Yet, i somehow had a residual hope that for diecast, as with fashion, things come back. As you suggest, their mold portfolio would have given them plenty opportunities to successfully diecase undead molds. However, you've convinced me that with Aa diecast is a thing of the past.
