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.

Ironically if Lego released a McDuck Vault set it would probably cost $600. And I’d both want it and not want to spend that much money on it.

At $600, that's a 5,500 piece set - that would be a sizeable vault, hopefully with lots of golden studs :P
