Hard Body by Tootsietoy – toy cars with full features
July 5, 2020 - by Doug Breithaupt When someone mentions Tootsietoy, most of us picture simple one-piece toy cars with basic wheels. In a previous story, I reviewed these basic cars beginning with the first small-scale die-cast car made by Tootsietoy in 1911. With the introduction of the Hard Body brand name in the late …

Lamley Daily: Schuco BMW 2800
It's hard to put my finger on just why I love this old Schuco but love it I do. I'm not sure I even recall where I got it from. But it's always been close to hand, on show somewhere.
Lamley Daily : BMW M4 GTS BMW Dealer Edition

Bargain Alert: BMW M Car Collection
Ok, this really is a PSA. This set is/was sold at BMW dealerships. But, as of the moment that I am writing this, there are a few on eBay and they are a great price. These cars are extremely well done for how inexpensive they are making the set a great value. Especially if you …

So as promised I'm back again with a visit to the miniature world of Schuco. And miniature is a fitting word considering the size of my subject today. Say hello to the BMW Isetta. The Isetta started life in 1953 not as a BMW, but as a product of the Italian company Iso. Revealed at …

Opening the two latest Matchbox 9-packs, checking out the Coronet Police, and walking through the BMW 1M
The BMW 1M is a Matchbox all-timer for me. I love the casting, love the car, and its first release represents a special time for me as Matchbox Ambassador. I own a prepro that I won at auction at the Gathering, and it remains one of my prized possessions in my collection. So it was …

Up-to-Date: Matchbox BMW M5 & X5 Police
A double dose from the Lamley Extras YouTube Channel: After opening and featuring the BMW X5 Multipack Exclusive, it became obvious I should showcase the M5 Police as well. Â I think it is obvious why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMLcV_q8rVo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9KfvEuAdUg
The Matchbox BMW X5 9-pack exclusive is the latest to join a very cool emergency family.
My guess is a lot of you have seen this pack in stores: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sR8BU3Vaseg I have always been a fan of the Matchbox BMW X5, which has two versions: Police/Emergency and stock. Â I like both, but the police version takes the cake. Â Matchbox has released only a few over the years, but with their Euro-centric …
