A recent and expanding site is Toy Collector. Just click on the logo to check it out:
Vintage and Collectible Kits - Toy Collector

Toy Collector is the brain child of a small team, all of whom were or still are avid collectors themselves. The idea is to have one site that combines the best of the various toy forums, your own blog, Youtube, eBay and other sites used by toy collectors and we believe that we are in the process of succeeding.

While Toy Collector encompasses all aspects of "toys"--models, teddy bears, wind-ups, scratchbuilt sailing ships, it offers great resources to explore:

And Toypedia, ...a free content encyclopaedia project to cover all vintage and collectible toys produced - ever. It is based on wiki technology, the same technology that drives Wikipedia.
