When did hotwheels become good?

I'm with you user, I never understood the popularity of Thomas. The faces on the trains is unsettling, even before I ever saw Shed 17, it bothered me that the trains were possibly people at one point.
Brio was the shit by the way, my local doctor's office had a huge set.

Nah, they had the same proportion of shitboxes to sports cars as the others, but obviously more euro-centric as they're French. They were big on having opening hoods and doors. That 288 GTO I spoke of not only had working suspension, opening hod and detailed engine but also super fat, appropriately staggered wheels. I had one of their giant-ass (for 1/64th) all-metal Town Car Limousines too. You could have killed a man with one of those.

Bburago rocked my socks off with all their rally cars and European racing legends when I was little, but they're pure shit tier now. Got a cheap pack with a Viper and Aventador a while back and they use the same wheel and tire design for both cars, the Aventador's front axle is set too low in the baseplate so it has a reverse rake and the paint quality is rather poor. I've seen better from Jada.

Idk man. This caught my eye at the store and for a couple dollars why not

Hawt weels

That doesn't?

>hotwheels
>not superior 1/43 models
But in all true the hotwheels cars are probably the reason I am into cars now, I had/have like 1-200 of them still have them in a box in the garage.

>suddenly remember I gave all my toy cars to the salvation army
I regret it now

Mine was this forklift.

What fucking infuriates me with half the hotwheels range isn't the lack of paint, its the bloody big ass wheel they fit at the back for "muh speed". Pic related is the zl1, M3 and 2000 GTX (last two are neat). I can't take good pictures.

this. it's too late though, i already started buying hotwheels.
