Did You Know? Anecdotes and Curiosities about our Miniatures

What is the most popular scale for collectible model cars?

The 1:64 scale is the most popular, thanks in part to brands like Hot Wheels and Matchbox. This size strikes a good balance between detail and storage space, while remaining affordable for collectors.

Why do some toy cars have rubber wheels?

Rubber wheels were common in the 1960s and 1970s because they provided better grip for play. Today, they are sought after by collectors because they are rarer, many having deteriorated over time.

How to recognize a first edition model car?

First editions are often distinguished by specific details: particular colors, lack of date marking, different packaging, or special numbering. They are usually produced in limited quantities when a new model is launched.

What determines the value of a collectible model car?

Value depends on several factors: rarity, condition, age, brand, and collector demand. Production errors and limited editions can significantly increase the value of a model.

Why should you avoid taking toy cars out of their packaging?

Keeping a car in its original packaging preserves its collectible value and protects it from dust, scratches, and oxidation. However, some collectors prefer to take them out to better appreciate the details and be able to handle them.
