Diecast Garage RJ is currently one of the main benchmarks for miniature collecting in Rio de Janeiro. Represented by Victor Hugo (lead administrator) and Daniel Haya (administrator), and supported by the strength of Flavio Arcoverde and Sergio Lima, the brand was born in 2020 with the purpose of promoting collecting, creating experiences, strengthening the community, encouraging families, and bringing children closer to this exciting universe.
The story began simply: a group of friends gathered at Praça XV, sitting on the floor, sharing their collections. Soon, the passion grew, and two stalls gave way to more than 30 meters of space occupied by over 15 exhibitors, attracting collectors and the public from various parts of Rio. With increasing demand, the meetings moved to indoor spaces—such as the D. Pedro II Building and, later, the Menezes Côrtes Building, where the larger and more comfortable structure consolidated the event as the largest bimonthly collecting meet in RJ.
Today, Diecast Garage RJ organizes two major events: the Expo Menezes, held bimonthly, and the Diecast Garage RJ Méier, held on special occasions in the heart of the neighborhood. Furthermore, it maintains an active presence with weekly YouTube livestreams, participation in fairs, partnerships, and meetups that connect collectors from Rio and across the country.
The brand's unique edge lies in the blend of entertainment, collecting, and social action, creating a space that is not just about miniatures, but about community, memories, and experiences. This work has earned recognition from the national scene, including the selection of Victor Hugo as an ambassador for CCCHK 2025, representing Rio de Janeiro at one of the biggest diecast events in Brazil.
The mission of Diecast Garage RJ is clear: to foster the hobby from childhood, encourage families to participate in events, and consolidate collecting as a part of culture.
