You all are welcome. Thank you. I still love that old Betty white caddy.

Hey Derek, the Hot Wheels have actually been $1 since they came out in 1968, they have constantly cut back on manufacturing costs to keep them at that price, as you said they used to be all metal, now either the body or the base is metal, rarely both. They do have several more expensive lines made for adult collectors that are all metal. Also Matchbox are owned by Mattel these days, the Matchbox models are usually utility vehicles, like cement mixers, garbage trucks, emergency vehicles that type of thing and the Hot Wheels tend to be the muscle cars and sports case. Loving these videos BTW, I bet your lads will look back fondly on these memories in later life.
