Peter1 0 Posted May 5, 2009 Who makes the best toy cars for a buck or less? It has been asked before but it's time to reconsider. For many years, Hot Wheels and Matchbox have dominated this market. Do they still deserve this level of respect? ....... Decide for yourself. I already did as the title of this story makes clear. Real Toy wins by more than a nose. It is simply at a quality level beyond any of the competition. Welly, Maisto and Racing Champions get honorable mention and Majorette, Matchbox and Hot Wheels are trailing the field.

netmatrix 0 Posted May 6, 2009 They should compare metal and plastics used. Weight of car determines how much metal and thick the metal is used. So some compromise is acceptable. Also non of the other manufacturers makes more than 100 models a year compared to HW. I would rate Realtoy a second. But most of it are variants of the same car that is in league of Matchbox. Because Realtoy has only so small models, it is easy for them to spot problems. With Hw its too hard. If you tell me bang for buck in any 1/64 car models, it has to be Maisto Pro Rodz (not the current custom) series. And also Tomica Limited series. Both almost hitting RM20 per car, u don't need to bang your head looking for so many models like Hot Wheels. Its funny to see such write up. Presumely its an adult written it. And the cars are targetted at kids. Small kids that would rip off the pack then crash and burn the car. If it was collectors, they would post such things like this. But then because they are adults and they know the value of money. But kids doesn't, they just want to get the car they want and rip the roads. It seems not fair to HW a little. But as an adult i would say to the guy, stop being critical and change brands if u think HW is crappy. But he can't because the cars Hw has is not available in other brands.

toycarsmy 0 Posted May 6, 2009 This is a never ending debat.IMHO, I pick Hot Wheels for its collectors base and resale value. Based on this perspective, what would you choose? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fact there are many more generic cars for less than a buck, if you care to look at more counters. Can't always rely on what is written kid. Those fast lane don't spend millions on advertising and promotions. So you do the math. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
