Twenty years ago, the May Cheong Group introduced the Maisto brand. Before that, the company's toys were known as M.C. Toy as well as being made for other labels such as Intex. The first Maisto catalog came later in 1992 for the 1993 year.

Here's the first 1:12 scale Maisto die-cast, the Jaguar XJ220. It was also made in 1:18 scale. The 1:12 is out of production but the 1:18, 31807, is available in metallic green.

A McLaren MP4-12C would be an item I would certainly buy.

Please go ahead with it. I have an XJ220 just like the one in the picture. It is great. :)

I have the 1:12 scale Maisto die-cast Jaguar XJ220. Could anyone tell me what it's worth today in dollars? It's in great shape still mounted on the display.
Thanks

I have a suggestion for new 1/18 models. What about any Lexus models? You guys used to sell the SC430 and the model was great. What about bring a one of the Lexus models into your lineup?
