>>11660935Got them opened up. Now to find the F50
I have a stupid question: Is there a website that shows all of the cars produced in a given year? When I was younger, many decades ago, I lost a truck at the beach and I'd love to find it again some day. I don't know the brand but I know the timeframe when I owned it.
>>11660984I hope this thing gets a Silver Series version, with the original windshield.
>>11663479for hot wheels/matchbox there are the "fandom" where you can somehow find models per year. Don't know if the many other brands have something similar
>>11663943I'm actually surprised there hasn't been a silver series or premium release for it. I know it doesn't really happen for "fantasy" cars, but the Deora II is one of their most iconic original castings. I'd argue it's on the same level as the Twin Mill and the Bone Shaker.
>>11664338>I'd argueDeora II is far more iconic than Bone Shaker.
Got one of these for Christmas for Gaslands. It has a weird lock/unlock plastic switch on the button but idk what that does.Not sure what colour to paint it and what weapons to give it. I think I might do BRG and maybe keep the Union Jack on the top.

Was thinking about Micro Machines recently. They had trains (highly flawed, would topple over because of their monotrack design, and I don't think they had any railroad crossing pieces), they had playsets (some fantasy like military ones, some things that were fold-outs like a big van that folded out to a city, some were IRL buildings you'd find in American suburbia), they had all sorts of car models, and yet they disappeared around the turn of the millennium. Were they that unpopular or were they just culled when Galoob was acquired?
>>11663479I have a few very old fold-out brochures that were the cars for 1993 or 1994 or whatever. I'd scan 'em but they're buried deep at my parents' house.
>>11666271These would be from around 1985, so thank you, but I'm too old.

>>11666698hmmm then you might wanna look up brands active in that era, thats a start, anymore info about the truck you lost? size color anything
Anyone familiar with Hongwell Cararama series? They are smaller than usual diecast but much more detalied. Hot wheels Skyline for size.
>>11668279I mean really really detailed. Note stop light on BMW rear window.
>>11668281Or turning lights on mirrors of this Mercedes
>>11668282Carrera GT is just amazing. These wheels...really a tiny gem.
>>11668283Packing really doesnt do justice to these.
>>11668279really neat stuff, but iirc i dont think this company is even active anymore which is a shame, i really want their 1/43 dodge interpird but they are near impossible to find where i live
>>11666270WCT/Jazwares did a reboot of them, a few years ago, but I haven't seen them in a couple years. Haven't seen them at my Walmart since, I think, 2021. Found some Jada F&F cars, though.
