I've always loved Matchbox because they made mundane, everyday cars that you could see on the streets. I know I'm in the minority with my love for the ordinary cars, but even as a child I would have much rather played with a Ford Sierra than a hot rod.

In Germany we have Siku: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siku_Toys

Mundane cars, municipal service vehicles, construction vehicles, just about everything. All of it in three scales, I think.

I’m part of that minority too, and as a kid growing up in the 80s the Majokits sets from Majorette were the best for me: city buses, construction trucks, and yeah, the same cars you could see on the street.

Same here.

I tell my wife that Matchbox are the "proper cars" and Hotwheels are the whacky lumo-plastic monstrosities.
