Hi, this particular model sells for $10.95 retail and offer some more. The usual price is $14++. Now mostly made in China or Vietnam. Those made in Japan are the expensive ones and hard to find.fallacyfrog wrote:Very nice. Used to buy these toy cars when was younger. Remember they were around $2-3 back then.

Agree...Hotwheels used to be crap. I prefer Marchbox by Lesney Products...those "Superfast" models of the 70's. But now, it is Hotwheels (made in Malaysia) for me...they are more nice IMHO compared to Majorette, or Maisto. Tomica ok also but I choose particular model only as they are more expensive. Corgi I like but those vintage ones made in UK. Burago also made in Italy no more, mostly made in China. Matchbox quality now post Lesney era are crap...Ed.YEO wrote:Can't really appreciate HOTWHEELS product... when i was in my early secondary education time, UK's CORGI at least much better in detail when compared to the mass produced HOTWHEELS......which is made so "rough" all the way until today!
At slightly a dollar or 2 depending where you get, German maker's SIKU miniature cars have better details than any others such as MAJORITE and HOTWHEELS as well as TOMY!
While major brands are made in China, there are few that are shifting to Vietnam and Malaysia. Majorite, being a french company have their products now majority made in Vietnam, previously in Thailand, and mostly in 1/64 scale... HOTWHEELS, MATCHBOX, SIKU, TOMY majority still from China. After making toys all these years in China, i see no major improvements except dependent on individual brand's products. If you can find good old miniature cars made by SIKU in Germany, you'll see that the details still remains consistent and the price is affordable if compared to the past, where hobbyist will have to go all the way to the shop situated @ 2nd/3rd floor of Centerpoint to hunt for the SIKU brands products.fallacyfrog wrote: ↑05 May 2018 13:20Very nice.
