Brings out the kid in everybody.

Matchbox toys. Hot Wheels. Tomica. Everyone loves 'em minature diecast model cars — at least boys and men do.

I do, and I have started getting them off the racks just to satisfy my insatiable hunger for toys. Pretty heavy word huh. Insatiable.

Well Matchbox, Hot Wheels and Tomica diecast model cars are relatively cheap and easy to get, so who am I to argue? Besides, they bring out the kid in me more than any other toy could. I could stay on the Toys R Us section of these brands for hours just trying to look for a new release... and another hour just choosing which toy has the least imperfections from the others.

Here's one I picked up recently.

By the way, I found another brand which makes better diecast models than the three mentioned above — Greenlight... and its price tag shows it.

Yup, I forgot to mention Majorette and Johnny Lightning, Chris... and I do agree that with JL and GL, the prices are getting a bit steep for my wallet! LOL!

I wouldn't even want to start with Autoart models — they cost as much as SOCs! :)
