Yes, I bought more cars today XD. These however, come by way of Savers, used and abused. Most aren't actually matchbox. Some don't even have a brand.

First up, the 5 no-name cars. Not much to say really, they have no brand, only china on the bottom. Just noticed that the blue one (with the wonky wheel) has spring loaded front doors that open. Pretty cool actually.

This Mustang (also of the no-brand category) has a seriously screwed front axle.

Like really screwed

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Next, the "real" ones (and one intruder, but it pulls it off pretty well). Lets see if you can guess which one isn't Matchbox or Hotwheels

'71 Dodge Demon

Lotus Project M250

Mustang Cobra

'97 Corvette

HUMVEE (slantback)

HUMVEE (squareback)

Lamborghini Diablo (with engine :D)

The one "Realtoy" in the group, this police-liveried Ford Explorer. This one might be a candidate for practicing repainting on after I've wrecked a couple shitty ones

Helicopter outta nowhere!

From "Welley", one seriously abused '57 Corvette. Hellaflush anyone?

Final group is Maisto

Ford Explorer

Ford Taurus (nascar?)

Porsche 550A Spyder. Apparently sitting on a truck chassis...

...No, seriously

And a pair of PT Cruisers to round it out. oddly enough, blue one says "Panel Cruiser", purple says "PT Cruiser"

There are a few more photos of the cars !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , along with all of my other matchbox/hotwheels photos. Whew, long post.

Does a pretty good job doesn't it? If you look real close, the logo on its hood and the hood of the police explorer are the same

I remember those cheap no-name cars. I used to get a ton of those things, and they all ended up being practically destroyed sometime after.

Had them in a separate plastic container, used them to set out junkyards with them.

Along with them, I had these three toy semi trailers that came from an extremely cheap dollar store (a no-name store, not one of the major name ones).

They were all made of plastic, and they ended up absolutely demolished.

The wheels and axles were one piece, so the axle rotated with the wheels, and were made of plastic.

Just enough of a gentle push into a wall, and they bend up like an accordion.

Terrible for typical toy car use, great for stop-action crash scenes.
