In the early 2000s, Goldyet Dragon was thought to be based in China and was offering a 25 car set at Albertson's Grocery and Pharmacy stores. The packaging carried the name "Metal King", but once the castings were seperated from the packaging their only identifying information was 'Made in China' on the bases.

Around the mid 2000s, they were making castings previously found in the Siku lineup of quality design with painted details, a window piece, full interiors and decent wheels. A two car pack of NASCAR racers were also available at Dollar General stores as "Super Racing" that were identical to previous Golden Wheel castings.

Goldyet Dragon released a series of 5 packs in about 2005 called Metal Evolution, Mini Car and the Metal King sets. The product code was 620C for the Metal Evolution series. The packaging identified them as 1:64. The only markings on the base were Made in China.

I found this casting at a local diecast show last year and matched it up to other flikr images. It was matched to be a Porsche 928 and done in 1:72 scale.
