RA/AP. Collection

What is RA/AP. Collection

RA/AP. Collection, also known as RAAP Collection or RAAP Diecast, was born from a real need: diecast collectors in Brazil had no centralized place to log their collections, check market prices, or discover which models were being traded most among enthusiasts.

The project brings together a complete catalog of lines like Mini GT, Kaido House, BBR, Qube Carz, and Pop Race (with photos, references, brands, and release data) and combines it with real information voluntarily reported by members: how much they paid, where they bought, and in what condition.

Collaborative catalog

The catalog covers the main 1:64 scale diecast lines distributed in Brazil, including Mini GT, Kaido House, BBR, Qube Carz, and Pop Race. Each model is documented with its official name, series number, brand, photo, and manufacturer's suggested retail price.

Members can mark which models they own, add them to a wishlist, and log the price they paid: building a personal history that also contributes to the platform's collective data.

Price Index

One of the platform's highlights is the Price Index, built from real transaction records reported by members. Unlike prices listed on marketplaces, the data here reflects what Brazilian collectors actually paid: in pre-orders, at specialty stores, or on the secondary market between collectors.

The data feeds rankings of the most appreciated, most expensive, and most sought-after models, as well as price evolution charts per model: useful tools for both buyers and collectors building their strategy.

The community

The platform is open to any Brazilian collector. Registration is free and done via a Google account. Once in, members can manage their collection, share their public profile with fellow enthusiasts, and contribute price records that benefit the entire community.

RA/AP. Collection also maintains an Instagram profile where new releases, market news, and platform updates are shared.

Partner advertisers

The platform is supported by partner advertisers: stores and resellers specializing in diecast who offer pre-orders and in-stock items for the community. Ads are displayed in an integrated way within the catalog without interfering with the browsing experience. The presence of an advertiser does not influence price data or the platform's rankings.

The Brazilian diecast collector

Brazil has one of the most active diecast collector communities in Latin America. Official Mini GT Brazil distribution is handled by MG Minis, an authorized TrueScale Miniatures distributor led by Murilo Giannetti, with a network of specialty resellers across the country. Beyond official channels, collective buying groups and direct trades between collectors drive a very active secondary market.

This dynamic creates a highly unique secondary market, with prices that vary significantly from the original launch depending on rarity, exchange rates, and local community interest in certain models. RA/AP. Collection was created precisely to bring visibility to this market: so that any Brazilian collector can know what a model is really worth before buying or selling.

Data transparency

All price data is voluntarily reported by members. The platform does not buy, sell, or intermediate transactions: it only collects and organizes the information that collectors themselves choose to share.

Data is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice. RA/AP. Collection is an independent platform maintained by enthusiasts. Rights to the miniaturized products belong to each manufacturer and its respective licensed brands.
