How Hot Wheels left Matchbox in the dust: A toy car tragedy

Me too. I had those sort of suitcases with plastic trays in where you could store the cars. I don’t know what became of them. Perhaps still in my parents’ attic.

These days I indulge my Matchbox nostalgia intermittently by buying Tomica models in Japan. It’s a similar range of realistic vehicles including some outliers such as the tug and trailer for airport catering deliveries.
