    Reply to lvmom,
    HotWheels cars roll better on and off the track so they tend to be faster than Matchbox cars.
    Most often they are more detailed also and command a better after market price for collectors.
    Hope this helps.

    Pardon my ignorance, but what is the difference between Hot Wheels and Matchbox? When I bought a car for my son, my husband asked what kind it was. He acted as thought I had commited the ultimate sin if I had bought a Matchbox car!

    Pardon my ignorance, but what is the difference between Hot Wheels and Matchbox? When I bought a car as a reward for my son being good in the store, my husband asked what kind it was. When I told him I didn't know, he acted like I had commited the ultimate sin if it was a Matchbox.

Hot Wheels are hot again. Parent company Mattel is now worth more than GM. Got an old Beach Bomb VW model in the attic? You're rich!
