P.S the Skoda was the ONLY eastblock car that was made by a western compagny, it carried the oficcial WRC ( yes before Subaru there was also a WRC ) painting.
They did sell them in the boxes into the mid 80s. Some small drug stores had them in plastic display cases. I remember choosing a car and the store clerk would take it out of the case, put in a yellow box and hand it to me.
Ehm dissagree, the universal years made some verry cool ones, i have a Skoda 130, Datsun 280z, i love theme, and want a AMC / AMX DR Pepper, wil get that soon.
But yes the 70s superfast were verry cool, great paint jobs, and typpical 70s style.
Lesney Products went bankrupt in 1982, at a time Great Britain was going through a recession. Matchbox was then sold to Universal International, who then had the diecast models assembled in Hong Kong, Macau, and Thailand, and finally China. It was then acquired by Tyco (the toy train manufacturer), which in turn was acquired by ironically, Mattel (Hot Wheels' parent company).
I like a lot the models like BMW 5-SERIES, BM 300E, ROVER STERLING, SAAB 900, OPEL VECTRA, FORD T-BIRD, VOLVO 760, 600 SEL...even more than the models made in England . The comparison with the actual models has no use
My grey 760 is made in MACAU while the red one in CHINA.
They have released again the T-BIRD , BMW 5-SERIES, 600 SEL, VOLVO 760 in PREMIERE EDITION but despite they look more realistic I found the wheels being too big . Besides that the fit and finish for the MACAU models are better...just my 2c. I have no one so far but I am expecting them in 2 weeks.
I have downloaded a commercial for the "Real Talkin" Matchbox cars. Why on earth did one of my friends years ago destroy all is cars for? They might have been worth something someday.
I am, in fact, the child actor formerly known as Superfast Sam!! I'm amazed that I was able to find some of my old commercials online! Thank you YouTube!!
Hello!!, i'm from Chile and was this commercial one given in 1986 in my country but in Spanish, don't you have the version in Spanish?? greetings!

I collect only MBox Superfast- but not these.
I only collect the transitional- through the late 1970s.
Once they went to Macau- ugh! 1980's+ were the worst! The ones in the yellow boxes- wow, what crap.
DP3219 3 years ago
Yes,the ones in the yellow boxes,you´re right.
I,m 33 years old and i still was able to buy some of them brand news when i was a child.
The others that i have are an heritage from my brother.
I also have some of the old ones ,with those thiny tires, before the Superfast era,made by Lesney.
Those were cools too.

Do you mean in quality or in speed. In quality, yes; in speed, no. But in speed, nothing can beat the newest Superfasts.
LaddyDongdegs 3 years ago
I mean in quality,from the eye of the collector.
Matchbox is an english brand and the english toys always had something special.
When they started to make them in Macau they lost something.
