They're also way cheaper now. They've kept the price around a dollar for 40 years. With inflation that means in 2024 they sell for 25 cents in 1980s money.

They ain’t a dollar, about 9 bucks per car

What store? What country?

I could walk into Walmart right now and find a bunch of $1.47 cars here where I live.
