I have an ancient Lesney Matchbox of a 1968 Ford Mustang. It has all the taillights, headlights, and even the Ford logo molded onto the body in fine detailing. The wheels even steer with a switch in the side. I have a brand new Mustang matchbox car that's a lime green California Special, with accurate paint and lights and even interior design to the California Special car.
Whereas my 2011 Ford Mustang Hot Wheel uses the same mold as the 2010, 2012, and 2009 with no variation and half-assed details. The only truly great Mustang Hot Wheels I have are the '86 hatchback Mustang and an incorrectly-labeled Boss 302 with rubber wheels.
BUUUT... Hot Wheels had the track. I grew up in the 90s, but I had vintage Red Line track as well as the super-awesome 90s power-pack loops. Matchbox didn't have anything quite like that.
Tough decision.
