The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

Matchbox 1-100 Mainline going away. $1 car, accurate & diverse castings, and very good (if not complete) tampos. Can't beat them! |

Can't disagree with Sean. They're not as nice as any of the specific options, sure, but they're 3x (or less) the price and not that much less detailed. |

None of the choices featured in this poll are sold in the UK although I do have examples of them all in my collection. Knowing what they retail for though, I'd probably have to go for Matchbox mainline as well. Not only are they sold in the UK unlike the others, I like them the most simply because they have the possibly the most diverse range of models currently on offer in small scale and for such a low price. The detailing and overall finish may not match that of something like a Greenlight, but they cost 4-5 times less to buy and besides, I'm sick to death of seeing bloody muscle cars! It's thanks to manufacturers like Matchbox that we get new and more original subjects.

I agree, Matchbox mainline, then I would have to say Motormax, while I love the muscle cars, I quickly scoop up all the other stuff that MB and MMax make |

I guess it all depends on the level of detail you want. The MB 1-100, with such eclectic choices and nice tampo details, is a great deal at a buck, but for those who want metal bodies/chassis and rubber tires, the Garage series is the way to go.
