Mercedes-Benz Offizielle Modell-Sammlung

Partwork-collection of 80 models, issued in Germany by DeAgostini between january 2013 and february 2016 - also in Austria with a delay of appr. 6 months. All models were made by Ixo, and most were previously issued by Altaya in the French collection "La Légende Mercedes-Benz", consisting of 50 standard models + 3 (possibly 5) bonus gift models for subscribers - that series was active between 2007 and 2009.

The models in the German version are identical to the French counterparts (including colors) with some tiny exceptions like the inclusion/exclusion of a "V8" badge decal. Display bases are sometimes identical, but sometimes the text descriptions differ, particularly when it comes to the production year of the full scale car!

Partwork-collection of 80 models, issued in Germany by DeAgostini between january 2013 and february 2016 - also in Austria with a delay of appr. 6 months. All models were made by Ixo, and most were previously issued by Altaya in the French collection "La Légende Mercedes-Benz", consisting of 50 standard models + 3 (possibly 5) bonus gift models for subscribers - that series was active between 2007 and 2009.

The models in the German version are identical to the French counterparts (including colors) with some tiny exceptions like the inclusion/exclusion of a "V8" badge decal. Display bases are sometimes identical, but sometimes the text descriptions differ, particularly when it comes to the production year of the full scale car!

In order to identify a model as belonging to one collection or the other, the leaflets that came with every model is the obvious place to start, but since international sellers rarely include the leaflets, this method of identification may not be possible. If a model was not included in the French collection, it is, of course from the German one! If still unidentified, check the display base. If French and German models have identical bases and/or no base is included with the model you own or look to buy, a positive identification will not be possible, unless you know that you bought the model prior to the German release.

Below is a list of all models and their release dates in Germany. The list also shows each model's corresponding number in the French series, as well as naming differences to look out for when identifying a model. Where this information is missing, it means that the model was not included in the French series. The extra models in the German series consist mainly of ambulances, police cars, box vans and a tow truck, but also a couple of cars made after the issue of the French series.

Cars added to this database will, when possible, show photos of both versions for quick reference. You can also use the variant descriptions. Be aware, that many international sellers use the name "Mercedes-Benz Collection" for BOTH series!
