My biggest regret; selling everything here on eBay. I miss them so much.

Can I retire now
I'm not a collector, & I don't know much about them. Picked these up at an estate sale, $4.⁰⁰
What are they worth?

Walmart finds
Flanking the sides we have the new 2025 packaging of the 2016 Ford Interceptor Utility (x2), because when are they ever alone, right?
Other finds include the Tesla Roadster in satin/matte black, 2022 Infiniti QX80, 2022 Opel Astra and a long sought after 1980 AMC Eagle...I saw it once and like a fool I didn't buy it...haven't seen it again until today!

Sale alert: Target (not sponsored!)
Their singles are $0.89 (but it is not advertised on their website, but is in store).
I put some screenshots of their other sales as well. Surprisingly Walmart had no Matchbox sales this year (they had 70 cent mainlines last year).

Really Nice Cars. Got to say the Miata is the cherry on top.
Nice Details. Felt like i bought a Premium.
Then again.
Given the price back then and today it got even more expensive

Help me ID a car from my memory.
I just remembered a car I had, I believe a Matchbox brand one, that was a color-changing type. I had it when I was a kid in the 90s. It used to change from yellow or orange to (maybe) white. Something unique about it was that I recall that whenever I'd throw it or have it collide with another car, it seemed to always land on its wheels. Anyone have a clue which car this might be? It looked like a normal car (though I believe it was fictional and not based on any real life cars).

Got this at the Matchbox Co. in Essex back in the day, 1966. More of a shop than a factory, with everything done by hand. Have not seen one like this since. Is it common...or not?
