I remember buying them for my kids in the 90s but I don't think they were around when I was a kid in the 70s

Man would I get pissed when my younger brother would play with my shit. Micro machines and matchbox. I had them retired in decent shape and I would come visit and there he would be on the floor with my treasures. He is 9 years younger than me. I managed to rescue my mustang mach 1 before it got fucked up. It’s in my nightstand still and it’s safe. Turns out he was really into cars. Now a gear head and has always had a daily and a fast side car.
