The Model Car Collection

The Disney Pixar Cars Collection (Mattel)

This European collection was brought about because my son got six for Christmas 2006. Then from January 2007, when more were sought, most of the shops had sold out of the popular ones by February. When the repackaged range came into the shops it was around this time that I decided to collect them for myself and stuck with the 'Supercharged' range. Mattel began with two roll outs in the 'Desert' pack (Summer 2006) followed by the 'Supercharged' range (January 2007) and then the 'World of Cars' roll out (January 2008).

The set is incomplete, as Lizzie and Sarge (European Supercharged range) were recalled due to lead paint and I didn't want Hamm and Yeti. The Lizzie shown here is the USA version. There are two fauly items, they being RPM 64, one has a yellow cast on the white decals and one of the Fabulous Huson Hornets has chrome wheel rims.

The Drag Racing Car Collection

Toys that were meant to be...er, toys, but saved from carpet fluff and further destruction and now happily reside in the safety of a display cabinet. The background drag track was a home made one for my son's hotwheel cars, see this link for more detail. (HW) stands for Hotwheels and (MB) is for Matchbox.
