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

I suspect Canada may have been more likely to have these brands imported - back then it was still much more tied to its Commonwealth ex-coloniser! :wink:

There is still a box of Matchbox cars sitting around in the attic of a certain relative. Sadly, they were loved to a state which makes them barely playable.

Talking of love: anyone remembers darda? Now, that was MY kind of toy. And Hot Wheels sadly outcompeted them thoroughly at some point. I absolutely love them to this day, but another certain relative gave mine away at one point of my adult life.

Sad, but I hope they are running somewhere else, in toy heaven.

I hadn’t actually known the name of the company, but yeah, I had a few darda cars! No track, though. I don’t think I even knew that they came with a track

Yes! I’ve been racking my brains trying to remember the name. Thanks!
