With realistic, modern details shrunk down to a size that fits in the palm of a child's hand, the Service Center 5-Pack of Matchbox cars from Mattel brings the excitement of city streets within reach. Tow truck, fuel tanker semi, heavy duty pickup and the other members of the set are completed with believable branding. Matchbox cars can be collected or traded, and their durable die-cast construction will stand up to plenty of play.
— “[Matchbox] is a good price point for our store,” said Mike Snyder, manager of
The Game Place in Charlottesville, Va. Snyder said his wife refers to Matchbox cars as “reward toys”.
— Out of 38 retailers, four said Matchbox cars from Mattel are their top-selling die-cast item, reporting sales averaging 40 per month during a July 2010 survey.
— In a Summer 2012 survey about die-cast toys, Dean Smith, owner of
JaZams in Princeton, N.J., told
TDmonthly that they sell about 12 of this Matchbox car 5 pack each month.
