There are hundreds of vintage diecast manufacturers which made model VW's, the truly rare ones don't generally come up for sale often 
and when they do can sell for hundreds $$$ , much more with original boxes and paperwork.
Some good vintage diecast models were made by Dinky, Matchbox, Corgi, Schuco, Marklin, Tekno, Siku, Politoys etc,
There are thousands out there, especially beetles. Most are making new models now aswell, so I would recommend some research on some of the private
VW collector sites for model and price guides.

Find an early matchbox beach bomb kombi with the surf boards in the side. Start there and then stop, worth a fortune. volma1
They are still there, just have faith you'll find one.
