Malaysia Diecast Expo 2025 (MDX 2025) made history on 24–25 May 2025, delivering an unforgettable weekend for collectors, enthusiasts, and automotive fans at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC), Kuala Lumpur. The event exceeded expectations with its massive turnout, exclusive releases, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences — cementing its place as the largest diecast-related gathering in Malaysia to date.
Crowds Gather Overnight for the Diecast Experience of the Year
Passion and anticipation were on full display as diecast collectors began queuing outside MITEC as early as 10:00 p.m. the night before the event. Many camped out overnight just to be among the first in line when the doors opened at 7:00 a.m. The main highlight that drew the crowd’s dedication was the KAIDOHOUSE x MINIGT MDX25 Special Edition – a collaboration diecast model available exclusively at the event. Collectors waited in line for up to three hours just to secure this limited item, proving the strength and loyalty of Malaysia’s diecast community.
World-Class Attractions That Stole the Show
MDX 2025 delivered a packed lineup of activities and rare exhibits that thrilled visitors of all ages. One of the most talked-about highlights was the rare opportunity to witness the Bugatti Bolide up close — a hypercar rarely seen outside elite motor shows. Automotive enthusiasts also got to view an exclusive lineup of rare and exotic cars, making MDX 2025 more than just a diecast expo — it was a full-scale automotive celebration.
The Miniature World zone captured the imagination of visitors with intricately crafted scenes and lifelike diecast displays, showcasing the artistry and creativity of the diecast community. Meanwhile, the Rolling Speed Diecast Competition kept the adrenaline flowing as participants tested the limits of their miniature racers on custom-built tracks.
Engaging the Community Through Interactive Activities
Throughout the two-day event, MDX 2025 offered an exciting mix of interactive programs that kept the crowd energized and entertained. The Lucky Draw, Auction, and Quiz Sessions created a fun and engaging atmosphere, offering both diecast veterans and newcomers a chance to participate and win exclusive prizes.
The Kustom Competition gave collectors a platform to show off their skills in customizing diecast models. Creativity ran wild as participants submitted stunning, one-of-a-kind pieces that wowed both judges and fans. This segment not only celebrated artistry but also encouraged innovation within the diecast scene.
Special Edition Diecast and Event Exclusives
One of the defining features of MDX 2025 was the release of Special Edition Diecast Models made exclusively for the event. Beyond the KAIDOHOUSE x MINIGT collaboration, collectors were treated to several other limited-run models that quickly became sought-after items across the global collector community. These event exclusives have already begun to appear in online marketplaces, often fetching prices several times above the original retail.
A Milestone Event for Malaysia’s Diecast Community
MDX 2025 did more than just host an event — it ignited a new level of enthusiasm for diecast culture in Malaysia. Vendors, collectors, creators, and fans came together in one space, sharing their stories, creations, and collections. The event successfully bridged generations, attracting not only seasoned collectors but also young hobbyists discovering the magic of diecast for the first time.
Looking Ahead
Following the overwhelming success of MDX 2025, expectations are already building for next year. The organizers have set a new benchmark for what a niche expo can achieve, and the Malaysian diecast scene has never looked more vibrant. With strong community support, record-breaking attendance, and international attention, MDX has proven that Malaysia is a central hub for diecast culture in Southeast Asia.
