Well said redkop. I always preferred Matchbox cars since I grew up with them. During those days when comparing Matchbox with Hot Wheels, Hot Wheels are crap (sorry to say this in a HW forum ). Matchbox had operable doors, hood, realistic paintwork and decals and some even had features which are part of the mold (unlike now most are stickers). Here's an example:- Dodge Challenger with Big rear tires, soft top, big air intake, racing decals, big exhaust, Dodge wording on hood, number plate front and rear. I highly doubt there is any Hot wheel car from the same era (1980s) that can match this Matchbox. But the good old days of Matchbox are over unfortunately .More so when Mattel bought them over Would have preferred Hasbro to take over Matchbox than Mattel. Hi everyone I'm from Mexico, and in my childhood I preferred Matchbox that were resistant and had a better design, and I also Challenger, beautiful car Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Greetings!
