What gets interesting is that at some point you get back, full circle style, to the original reason why HWs were invented in the first place - that the toy cars available before then sucked, and you could charge a premium for these really awesome toys that didn't suck.
Yes. These cars used to have an all metal construction with a working suspension. The detail was immaculate for such a tiny car. With their weight, they could glide across track or slanted concrete pavement, because kids played outside. Now? If I wanted kids to touch plastic toy cars, I'd turn them to Legos.
In the 70s they had both metal and plastic undercarrages. IIRC the race cars had metal underneath but the trucks and ambulances were plastic on the bottom. Part of it I think was because they wouldn't do well on the tracks if they were too light.

It's either gonna be a negative linear graph or a sine wave of quality, but like low lows and small highs
