The Stealth Hippopotamus: So are you trying to say that the Real Doll (R) is there too?!

Nice...

They really should specify Children's toys.

/Leaving dissapointed.

Sybarite: Inducted before Matchbox? This is an outrage!

Good to see the Hot Wheels/Matchbox wars continue.

Yes, because before HotWheels, Matchbox cars were lame.

A few yards of orange track and low friction wheels on sprung axles made Hot Wheels awesome.

It's not even a contest.

1968 Hot Wheel:

Hot Wheels, dollhouse, blanket, mummified corpse, all you need for a fun weekend.

Just to let you know, I have both those cars in the above post.

excuse to post this

I own both and played with them reguardless when I was younger. Now with my baby nephew, I broke them out again we play cars. So Matchbox / Hot Wheels fun for all

Point being, In 1968 when Hot Wheels came out, Matchboxes were stodgy things without 'fast' wheels, just skinny plastic wheeels on thich riveted solid axles, no concept or custom cars, - a few race cars, sure. Flat paint.

Wouldn't roll. Certainly not down a track.

The came back soon enough, with Matchbox "Superfast" cars, whech were very like Hot Wheels.

The foldup sets were the frickin bomb.

I loved all my Hotwheels when I was a kid but to be fair, my parents would yell louder when stepping on the clunky/sharp edged Matchbox cars.

This is sitting on my desk right now.

Are cardboard boxes in there yet?

shotglasss: Are cardboard boxes in there yet?

Yes, actually, they are.

My all time favorite

Dude are you drinking already? Someone switch the keys around on your key board?

This is a ball attached to a string, which is attached to a cup. You throw the ball, let it swing on the string, and catch it in the cup. If you fail to catch the ball in the cup, just swing it again! It requires no batteries! Play alone and with your friends! And clean-up's as easy as catching a ball in a cup!

But which was better, Snake or Mongoose?

Glad to see that "stick" made it in already. Now we just have to wait for "log". Not Lincoln Logs which are there but good old LOG.

What rolls down stairs alone or in pairs, and over your neighbor's dog? What's great for a snack, And fits on your back? It's log, log, log It's log, it's log, It's big, it's heavy, it's wood. It's log, it's log, it's better than bad, it's good." Everyone wants a log You're gonna love it, log Come on and get your log Everyone needs a log log log log *whistle* LOG FROM BLAMMO

How long has this place existed that they don't already have Hot Wheels and the doll house inducted yet?

Well, we were going to do Hot Wheels ten years ago, but we went with "Hungry Hungry Hippos" instead.

My all time favorite. Had one when they originally came out in '68.

As someone who is rebuilding his HW and matchbox superfast collection, much to the boredom of the wife, I am getting a kick out of this thread.

I was doing something different in your mom's basement last Saturday night.
