You see, Siku's in the 1:64 range (that is the same as the HW and MB) have tires that can be taken off. Wrote an article on the subject called <a href="http://kids-nook.com/matchbox-vs-hot-wheels-vs-majorette-toy-cars/" rel="nofollow">Matchbox vs Hot Wheels vs Majorette Toy Cars</a> where I've reviewed a bunch of die casts from a parents perspective, including Siku.<br /><br />HOWEVER! When it comes to larger models... like the 1:55 range, the Siku has amazing toys for kids. They're really durable and don't break that easily. You can check some of the one's my kid has at <a href="http://kids-nook.com/siku-toy-cars/" rel="nofollow">Siku Toy Cars</a>. The only problem with them is that they're expensive. They have some great traffic sings I got for my kid which can't be broken and I don't see them harming my kid in any way. I would however avoid the large playsets from the Siku World collection because they do have a LOT of small parts and they're not suited for toddlers.<br /><br />p.s.<br /><br />I am a Siku lover since I was a child myself :)<br />Kids-Nookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13006990327827802310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191247649428419393.post-309490635350609422017-10-21T23:59:46.641+08:002017-10-21T23:59:46.641+08:00I am so sad I never got a single Hot Wheels Ferrar...I am so sad I never got a single Hot Wheels Ferrari because now... as you said, they're not making any and Bburago have the rights again. Which is cool because I loved bburago as a kid and so does my kid now so I even gave him some of my cars to play with and bought him a bunch of new ones. You can check out our collection at <a href="http://kids-nook.com/bburago-1-43-die-cast-cars/" rel="nofollow">Bburago 1:43 Die-cast cars</a>. <br />Again, as I've said... so sad I don't have a Ferrari by Hot Wheels... my kid loves Hot Wheels but doesn't like Ferrari's so I mostly got to see them in their boxes a few years back which made me feel like a little kid :D<br /><br />You have a great collection. Will drop by again and check out some of your other stuff.

However it is not mine to restore at the moment so in the meantime, I am planning to get my very own Mercedes, albeit one from the 90s maybe. <br /><br />I would have wanted to get an older one, but since I want to use the car on my out of town trips, I prefer to have a full complement of air bags given the rather haphazard driving conditions in my country.<br /><br />Before that time, if you don't mind, I would wish to seek your opinion on the model I would be getting. <br /><br />Cheers!Toywizardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17528191194810495521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191247649428419393.post-82349190147876520432014-09-10T07:52:20.614+08:002014-09-10T07:52:20.614+08:00This trully was an amazing luxury Mercedes-Benz!

AutoArt is top of the line for this model both in 1:43 and 1:18 scale - they are just amazing models with high build quality.<br /><br />Nice to read about your grandfathers Mercedes and your memories with that car. Too bad it wasn't saved - would be a really nice classic today - even more than that, It would have the biggest sentimental value of all. Must say, he sure did had a very good taste for cars ;)<br /><br />All the best to you and thank you for sharing,<br />Rok<br /><a href="http://www.mercedes-benz-collection.eu/" rel="nofollow">Mercedes Benz Collection</a> & <a href="http://www.mercedes-benz-diecast.com/" rel="nofollow">Mercedes model range</a>Biggie / Mercedes Diecasts and Toyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10346800267886333672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191247649428419393.post-33788803320417946502014-09-10T07:30:53.671+08:002014-09-10T07:30:53.671+08:00Thank you for kind words!
