These aren't toys (honest!)
Well, not really. I beg off the other description of diecast replicas, which
while TRUE, isn't really what these types of cars are sold for. Burago and such
are indeed excellent replicas, but they're not what what I collect. I'm fond of
small cars with working bits that at least look like the cars they're derived
from. I like metal (mainly because plastic always seems to be sign of cheap
design rather than anything inherently wrong with a featherlight vehicle...)
I do however like the following manufacturers:
- Dinky
- Matchbox
- Corgi
- Tomica
- Hot Wheels
- Majorette
And buy them in both the small scales and the slightly larger size. Micromachines
are cute, but they don't really interest me. I'm also not interested in the ones
with the silly chrome wheels that seem to have become the norm from Matchbox and
Hot Wheels recently.
As of last count, I had about 400 of the darn things -- one of these days I'll
get around to grabbing some photos and putting them on the homepage.
