MANILA, Philippines — Something big is coming for Filipino car enthusiasts and diecast collectors this November.
The Liberty Walk Manila Experience 2026 is set to bring together automotive culture, customized cars, diecast collecting, and lifestyle experiences across Metro Manila from November 13 to 15, 2026.
Presented by Philippine Diecast Expo 2026 (PDX), the three-day celebration will feature the Liberty Walk Manila Dinner, Liberty Walk Manila Car Meet, Liberty Walk Manila Car Show, Liberty Walk Kids Manila Launch, and Liberty Walk Manila Exclusives and Merchandise.
For enthusiasts who know Liberty Walk through its unmistakable customized cars—and collectors who know those same builds through their miniature counterparts—the Manila experience brings those worlds together.
And that's exactly what makes this weekend different.
Liberty Walk Manila Goes Beyond the Traditional Car Show
A car show usually begins when the exhibition doors open.
The Liberty Walk Manila Experience begins a day earlier.
Rather than limiting Liberty Walk Manila to a single appearance inside Philippine Diecast Expo 2026, the experience will unfold across several locations and activities.
It starts on November 13 with the Liberty Walk Manila Dinner at East Ocean Palace, followed by the Liberty Walk Manila Car Meet at Parqal Mall.
The celebration then moves to SMX Convention Center Manila on November 14–15 for the Philippine Diecast Expo 2026.
There, the Liberty Walk experience expands with a car show, the Liberty Walk Kids Manila Launch, and Liberty Walk exclusives and merchandise.
Three days. Multiple experiences. One automotive culture.
Liberty Walk Manila Dinner Opens the Experience on November 13
The weekend begins with the Liberty Walk Manila Dinner at East Ocean Palace on November 13.
While the cars naturally attract attention, automotive culture has always been built around people.
Collectors meet other collectors. Car owners exchange stories. Enthusiasts who may have known each other only through social media finally meet face to face.
The Liberty Walk Manila Dinner creates a more intimate opening to what will become a much bigger weekend.
And after dinner, the experience moves to the car community.
Liberty Walk Manila Car Meet Comes to Parqal Mall
The Liberty Walk Manila Car Meet at Parqal Mall is also scheduled for November 13, setting the stage for the Philippine Diecast Expo weekend.
There's something different about seeing customized cars outside the confines of a conventional exhibition.
A car meet brings enthusiasts closer to the machines and, more importantly, closer to one another.
It's where cameras come out, conversations begin and people gather around the builds that catch their attention.
For the Liberty Walk Manila Experience, the car meet represents the community side of the culture.
The following day, that energy moves indoors.
Liberty Walk Manila Car Show Joins Philippine Diecast Expo 2026
On November 14 and 15, the Liberty Walk Manila Car Show becomes one of the attractions of Philippine Diecast Expo 2026 at Function Room 5, SMX Convention Center Manila.
This is where two automotive worlds meet.
Many enthusiasts know Liberty Walk from full-scale customized cars. Others first discovered these builds as diecast models sitting on store shelves or inside their personal collections.
At PDX, those interests don't have to exist separately.
A collector can appreciate a miniature version of a car and then experience the design philosophy behind its full-scale counterpart.
That connection is central to what Philippine Diecast Expo wants to build.
PDX isn't only about the model sitting inside the packaging.
It's about the car, the story, the design and the culture that made someone want to collect it in the first place.
Liberty Walk Kids Manila Launch Connects Another Generation
One of the most interesting additions to the weekend is the Liberty Walk Kids Manila Launch, happening November 14–15 at SMX Convention Center Manila.
Ask many adult collectors where their fascination with cars started and the answer often goes back to childhood.
A toy car.
A poster on the bedroom wall.
A car they saw on the street.
Or perhaps a model they desperately wanted but couldn't afford at the time.
Years later, many of those children have become collectors and automotive enthusiasts themselves.
Some are now parents bringing their own children into the hobby.
That makes the Liberty Walk Kids Manila Launch more than another product component of the event. It connects today's car culture with the generation that may carry that passion forward.
Liberty Walk Manila Exclusives Give Collectors Another Reason to Attend
Of course, this is still Philippine Diecast Expo.
There has to be something to hunt.
The Liberty Walk Manila Exclusives and Merchandise will be available as part of the November 14–15 PDX experience.
And collectors understand why that matters.
Sometimes the best part of an expo is discovering something you weren't expecting to find.
You tell yourself you'll only look.
You walk around the exhibition.
Then you see that one piece.
Every collector knows what happens next.
Not every Liberty Walk Manila exclusive will be revealed immediately. Some of the surprises will be introduced as the event gets closer.
That is part of the experience.
Why Liberty Walk Fits the Philippine Diecast Expo
At first glance, a full-scale customized car and a 1:64 diecast might appear to belong to different worlds.
They don't.
They are connected by the same passion.
Automotive design inspires diecast manufacturers. Real-life custom builds become collectible models. Collectors become interested in the stories behind the cars. Car enthusiasts become collectors.
And around all of this develops a much broader culture involving art, fashion, street culture, gaming, entertainment and communities.
That's why Liberty Walk fits naturally into the Philippine Diecast Expo.
The idea behind PDX has always been bigger than simply displaying and selling miniature cars.
It is about creating a meeting place for the different communities connected by automotive passion.
That's also why the event carries three simple words:
Cars. Culture. Lifestyle.
Liberty Walk Manila Experience 2026 Schedule
For enthusiasts planning their November weekend, here's the current Liberty Walk Manila Experience schedule:
| Date | Activity | Venue |
|---|---|---|
| November 13, 2026 | Liberty Walk Manila Dinner | East Ocean Palace |
| November 13, 2026 | Liberty Walk Manila Car Meet | Parqal Mall |
| November 14–15, 2026 | Liberty Walk Manila Car Show | Function Room 5, SMX Convention Center Manila |
| November 14–15, 2026 | Liberty Walk Kids Manila Launch | Function Room 5, SMX Convention Center Manila |
| November 14–15, 2026 | Liberty Walk Manila Exclusives and Merchandise | Philippine Diecast Expo 2026, SMX Convention Center Manila |
From Miniature Cars to Full-Scale Culture
Perhaps that's the best way to describe what is happening in November.
The small cars are leading us to something much bigger.
A diecast model can be only a few inches long, but behind it can be decades of automotive history, engineering, design, and culture.
Behind every collection is also a collector with a story.
The Philippine Diecast Expo 2026 wants to put those stories, communities, and experiences in one place.
And the Liberty Walk Manila Experience takes that idea beyond the exhibition hall.
From East Ocean Palace to Parqal Mall and finally to SMX Convention Center Manila, November 13–15 will be a weekend built around the people who simply love cars—whether they collect them, customize them, drive them, photograph them or just stop to admire them.
The engines may be small. The passion is massive.

MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Diecast Expo (PDX) welcomes Padis Point as one of its event sponsors for the upcoming Philippine Diecast Expo 2026, happening on November 14–15, 2026, at SMX Convention Center Manila.
For PDX, the partnership is more than adding another brand. Padis Point has long been associated with good food, music, celebrations, and people coming together—something that connects naturally with what PDX wants to create: an event built around community and shared passions.
The Philippine Diecast Expo brings together diecast collectors, car enthusiasts and fans of street culture and lifestyle under one roof. Beyond the collectibles, PDX is designed to be a place where people can meet fellow enthusiasts, discover new interests, and simply enjoy the culture surrounding cars and collecting.
Having Padis Point support the event adds another familiar Filipino lifestyle brand to the growing PDX community.
“We’re happy to have Padis Point join us. PDX has always been about bringing different communities together—from diecast collectors and car enthusiasts to people who simply enjoy the culture and lifestyle around it. Padis Point understands that sense of community, which makes this partnership a good fit for us,” said Orlando “Orly” Ballesteros, Event Organizer of the Philippine Diecast Expo.
The Philippine Diecast Expo 2026 will feature diecast brands and sellers, collector communities, automotive culture, art toys, street fashion and special activities and attractions throughout the two-day event.
As November gets closer, PDX continues to welcome brands and partners that share its vision of building an experience that goes beyond collecting.
Because at PDX, it’s not only about the cars you bring home. It’s about the people you meet, the stories behind every collection and the community you become part of.

The Philippine Diecast Expo 2026 is becoming an even bigger destination for families and young collectors, with Kids Company joining the event as an official partner.
Set for November 14 and 15, 2026, at SMX Convention Center Manila, Function Room 5, the two-day expo will unite diecast collecting, real-car culture, toys, art, gaming and street lifestyle in one exciting weekend.
Kids Company’s participation supports the expo’s goal of making collecting more accessible and enjoyable for people of all ages. Known for its selection of branded toys and children’s products, Kids Company brings a strong family connection to an event built around imagination, creativity and the joy of collecting.
Inspiring the Next Generation of Collectors
For many enthusiasts, the love for cars started with a small diecast model held in their hands as children. That first toy car often became the beginning of a bigger passion—one that eventually grew into carefully curated collections, custom creations and friendships within the collector community.
Through its partnership with Kids Company, the Philippine Diecast Expo hopes to inspire more children to discover the hobby while allowing parents to share their own passion with the next generation.
The expo is designed to be more than a marketplace. It will be a meeting place where longtime collectors, first-time buyers, families, hobby groups and automotive enthusiasts can connect through their shared appreciation for cars and collectibles.
A Full Weekend of Cars, Collectibles and Culture
Visitors can expect a wide range of limited and exclusive diecast models, custom builds, collector merchandise, community exhibits and interactive activities.
The event will also bring diecast culture closer to the real automotive world through the Liberty Walk Custom Car Show, featuring five customized vehicles. Other attractions include Gravity Racing, the Philippine National SIM Racing Competition and the Formula Drift Mini Competition.
Expanding the experience beyond cars and diecast collecting are three co-located events: Street Culture Convention, Cosplay Fiesta and TCG Grand Exchange. Together, these events will create a vibrant mix of automotive culture, street fashion, art toys, cosplay, gaming and trading-card communities.
Details about the activities and special participation of Kids Company will be revealed through the official Philippine Diecast Expo social media pages.
A Celebration for Every Generation
The Kids Company partnership reinforces the inclusive spirit of the Philippine Diecast Expo. Serious collectors can hunt for rare pieces, automotive fans can appreciate customized cars, and younger visitors can experience the excitement of starting a collection of their own.
The Philippine Diecast Expo 2026 is organized and managed by Exlink Management and Marketing Services Corporation.
Mark your calendars and bring the entire family.

A miniature car created one of the biggest collector stories of the year after a Philippine Hot Wheels Convention Exclusive received a staggering final bid of ₱1.35 million.
The remarkable bid was placed during the Philippine Hot Wheels Convention Exclusive Dinner, held on September 4, 2026, at Okada Manila. The occasion brought together serious collectors and Hot Wheels enthusiasts ahead of the main convention.
For people outside the hobby, spending more than a million pesos on a diecast car may seem unbelievable. Within the collector community, however, convention-exclusive releases belong to a different category. Their limited availability, connection to a major event and significance to the hobby can make them highly desirable.
This particular piece was not valued simply as a miniature vehicle. It represented exclusivity, collector history and the rare opportunity to own something that may never become widely available.
A Milestone for Philippine Diecast Collecting
The ₱1.35-million final bid reflects the strength and maturity of the Philippine collector market. What began for many as a childhood fascination has grown into a passionate community supported by conventions, trading groups, specialty stores, content creators and collector events.
Diecast collecting has also become increasingly diverse. Some collectors hunt for rare factory releases, while others focus on convention exclusives, vintage models, customs or cars connected to automotive and popular culture.
The headline-making bid does not mean that every Hot Wheels car is worth a fortune. Value still depends on several factors, including rarity, condition, demand, historical significance, and provenance. In this case, those elements came together and inspired a collector to make an extraordinary offer.
More than the amount itself, the moment shows how much emotion can be attached to collecting. Every prized piece carries a story—where it was discovered, how difficult it was to acquire and what it represents to its owner.
Collector Culture Continues to Grow
The exclusive dinner served as a lead-in to the Philippines Hot Wheels Collectors Convention 2026, taking place September 5–6 at the Crystal Pavilion of Okada Manila.
The gathering brings the community together through exclusive releases, displays, competitions and shared collector experiences. Events like this have helped elevate diecast collecting from a personal hobby into a visible part of the country’s broader automotive and lifestyle culture.
That momentum will continue at the Philippine Diecast Expo 2026, happening on November 14–15 at SMX Convention Center Manila, Function Room 5.
Built around the theme Cars, Culture & Lifestyle, PDX will bring together diecast collectibles, custom cars, racing activities, exclusive merchandise and street-culture experiences. It will also feature Cosplay Fiesta, adding cosplay, character artistry and pop-culture creativity to the expo weekend.
The combination reflects how today’s collector culture goes beyond miniature cars. It connects automotive passion with art, fashion, gaming, cosplay and entertainment—creating a wider experience for collectors, families and lifestyle enthusiasts.
The ₱1.35-million bid may have involved something small enough to fit in one hand, but its impact is much bigger. It is a powerful reminder that the true value of a collectible is shaped not only by its material or size, but by its rarity, history, and the passion of the people pursuing it.
The Philippine collector scene is accelerating—and this may only be the beginning.

What starts with a small diecast car can grow into a lifelong passion for automobiles, design, racing and community. That is the spirit behind the Philippine Diecast Expo 2026, happening on November 14–15, 2026, at SMX Convention Center Manila, Function Room 5.
PDX is not simply a place to buy and sell miniature cars. It is a meeting point for people who enjoy cars in all forms, from scale models and custom builds to racing simulators, street fashion, art toys and pop culture.
With the theme Cars, Culture & Lifestyle, the expo will bring different interests and communities together for one packed weekend.
See Five Liberty Walk Custom Cars Up Close
One of the most anticipated attractions at PDX is the Liberty Walk Custom Car Show, featuring five Liberty Walk custom cars.
Liberty Walk is known for turning already impressive vehicles into bold and unmistakable custom builds. Its signature wide-body styling has earned a strong following among car enthusiasts and diecast collectors around the world.
At the Philippine Diecast Expo, visitors will have the rare opportunity to see five of these custom cars together and appreciate the details that make each build unique.
The Liberty Walk experience will actually begin a day before the main expo.
On November 13, 2026, the Liberty Walk Car Meet will take place at PARQAL Mall in Parañaque City. It will be a gathering for the automotive community and anyone who appreciates customized vehicles.
The celebration continues that evening with the Liberty Walk Dinner at East Ocean Palace Restaurant, Parañaque City. The dinner will offer qualified guests a more personal experience with the Liberty Walk team and fellow car enthusiasts.
A Collector’s Hunt for Exclusive Finds
For many collectors, part of the fun is the hunt. You walk through rows of displays, talk with sellers, spot something unexpected and finally find the piece you have been looking for.
The Philippine Diecast Expo will feature a wide range of diecast models, collectibles, art toys, accessories and lifestyle products from participating exhibitors.
Visitors can also look forward to exclusive and limited-edition diecast releases and official event merchandise. These special items will give collectors a chance to bring home something connected to the PDX experience.
Serious collectors can search for their next prized model, while newcomers can discover how enjoyable the hobby can be. You do not need to know every casting, series or scale to be part of the community. Curiosity is enough to get started.
Racing Goes Beyond the Display Shelf
Not every diecast car at PDX will remain inside its packaging. The expo will have activities that put speed, balance and driver skill to the test.
The Gravity Race will send diecast cars down a specially designed track. Winning will depend on more than appearance. Each car’s setup and performance will matter once the race begins.
For virtual racing fans, the SIM Formula Drift Mini Competition will challenge players to control their cars through simulated drift runs where timing, angle and precision count.
The SIM Racing National Competition will take the experience further by bringing together competitive racers for an intense test of speed, consistency and racing strategy.
These competitions will give visitors several ways to enjoy car culture, whether they prefer collecting, racing miniature cars or getting behind the wheel of a simulator.
Three Co-Located Events Add More to the Weekend
Cars and collectibles often connect with other interests. That is why the Philippine Diecast Expo will be joined by three co-located events.
The Street Culture Convention will feature the creative energy of street fashion, urban art, toys and lifestyle communities.
The Cosplay Fiesta will bring cosplayers, anime enthusiasts, creators and pop-culture fans into the celebration.
The TCG Grand Exchange will provide a meeting place for trading-card players and collectors who want to discover, exchange and talk about cards.
Having these events in one venue means visitors can move from a diecast display to a custom car, discover streetwear and art toys, watch racing action, meet cosplayers and explore trading cards—all during the same visit.
Built Around People and Shared Passions
The most valuable part of a collector event is not always the rarest item on display. Sometimes, it is meeting someone who understands why a particular model matters to you.
PDX is being created as a welcoming space for collectors, families, car clubs, hobby groups, gamers, artists, cosplayers, brands and curious first-time visitors. It is a chance to reconnect with familiar faces, make new friends and become part of a larger community.
The Philippine Diecast Expo 2026 is organized and managed by Exlink Management and Marketing Services Corporation, an experienced organizer of exhibitions, conferences and community-focused events in the Philippines.

HOT WHEELS POP CULTURE 2027 — THE HUNT IS ON!
There’s something special about a Hot Wheels Pop Culture release. It’s not just a little car in a blister pack—it’s a piece of a movie, a character, a childhood memory, or a fandom we never really outgrew.
And with the 2027 lineup coming, collectors already have plenty to look forward to. From iconic rides to unforgettable pop-culture favorites, you know the hunt is going to be exciting.
For us collectors, half the fun is finding that one piece you’ve been waiting for… and the other half is sharing it with people who get just as excited about it as you do.
And that’s exactly what Philippine Diecast Expo (PDX) is all about.
📅 November 14–15, 2026
📍 Function 5, SMX Convention Center Manila
Bring your collection. Find something new. Meet fellow collectors. Discover cars you didn’t even know you needed. 😅
Because sometimes, one more diecast is never really just one more diecast.
