True, I was referring to the 1/18 stuff I've seen retailing for over $200 each... In comparison to a 1/24 plastic kit at around $30 to $50.

Did you know that Hot Wheels are basically still the same price they were in 1968!
If you account for inflation, they're actually cheaper!

Yes, that still surprises me today when I see them on sale in stores for under $2 but I assume the production costs have also come down considerably, along with the quality and durability. I still have some of my original Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars, they've outlasted most of the newer Hot Wheels I started buying for my son about 10 years ago.
Also, my Scan n Cut makes cool noises when it's cutting. (Just keeping the thread on track)
