Dear Sirs:
One the early times,Hot Wheels cars had a four-digit number for each model. It if happened that say,Custom Cougar debuted in green and later will became yellow, a different number would be assigned to the latter.
By 1995, there was the number of 4 or 5 diigits, and the one to three digit collector number, plus the 1 of.... from the series the car belongs to. Normally,unless is a vehicle that do not appear in there, I would go for the First Edition Series only,which debuted in 1995.
Hence the 2006 First Edition Series cars below are listed based on the statements given above.
001 01/38 1970 Plymouth Superbird 002 02/38 Toyota AE-86 Corolla 003 03/38 Nissan Silvia S15 J3245 004 04/38 Chrysler 300C Hemi 005 05/38 Ferrarri 512 M

Dear All:
The history of Maisto already been covered here,as the first 1/64 models were sold with Zylmex packages and the latter had a numberation system which started with D (Dynaflights) or P (Pacesetters) while the Maisto items in these packages were void of numberation or markings;this,around 1987.By the very early 1990's,these gained the MC markings (as for the intials of the founder of the company) and the current marking debuted around 1993.Incidentally,no Maisto ever became a Zylmex when Maisto became known,the vice-versa,also do apply.
The first generation of Maistos were well done and became enthusiast items due to the fact of their well-done proprotions and unusual subjects (like,a Trabant and the only small miniature - in three inches - of the Lincoln Mark VII.). Lots of Peugeots offered (besides Norev or Mjorette) and a German Ford Granada completed the circle.
The current activities were also described: their basement series (which still offers one of their first castings,the Ford Econovan) it is as such nowadays,literally.While Realtoy trully engineers their three-inchers by giving accurate shape,chassi and interior,Maisto,since the mid-nineties gave accurate shapes and graphics to their basement range and nothing else;chassis were simple and had wrong details (the Cadillac de Ville DTS is potraited as a rear-drive sedan) and there were no interiors,and a black painted windows were an attempt to cover that. As of late,Maisto offers three series of 'top of the line' models,but the big majority are 'urban style',with the low-ride or tall whells,and the Transit Authority,its basement series,is rumored that will be extinct (thus ending the groan of loyal costumers who complained of 'no interior' policies).
Every manufacturer,on a way,gives its series a reference number.The most known is the one from Matchbox,the 1-75 series and in a way,how some manufacturers,copied that to an extent (such as Siku or Majorette).Mattel,gave,in the beggining,a four-digit number to its Hot Wheels;later it went to five digits,in combination of one to three digit collector number and maximum a couple for its series numbers.
Maisto never marked any numbering at its vehicles;just offered their vehicles in various series and numerical reference orders
1.Turbo Tread. Packaging is white,contains the first known Maisto Castings and was represented by two set of numbers:15001 (which would identify the series;this number is used to today) and the four digit number which would be assigned to each car;series offered around 1996. Some vehicles of this series are offered up to now,and is the introduction of what would became the 'Transit Authority
8441 Ford Sierra XR4Ti 8442 Porsche 956 8443 Firebird 8444 Porsche Turbo 8445 Ferrarri 308 GTB 8446 Volkswagen Golf GTI 8447 Audi Quattro 8448 BMW M1 8449 Ford Escort 1.6i 8450 Mercedes Benz Van 8451 Ford Granada 2.8 GL 8452 Mercedes Benz 500SL 8611 Peugeot 205GTI 8612 Renault 25V6 Turbo 8613 Jaguar XJ-S V12 8614 Peugeot 309 8615 Mercedes Benz 260SEL 8616 Volvo 760GLE 8617 Chevrolet Corvette 8618 Buick Le Sabre Stock Car 8619 Toyota MR-2 8620 Nissan 300ZX 8621 Toyota SR5 8622 Suzuki SJ4130

2.Motor Work series.By 1997,this series of vehicles were introduced,the blisterpack being black with an yellow background for the vehicle. Here,the series number,15001,is still being kept,but this time,a two-digit numberation system identifies each vehicle.Also,a good amount of new castings were introduced with this series Very important note:no literature,as far as I know,gives or perhaps never will give the info listed below.This info was compiled from the specimens from my collection,and since these are spread all over,there is significant gaps on the list below,and only 1/64 and nearby scale cars were reported.
15001-19 Chevrolet Corvette 15001-44 Lamborghini Diablo 15001-46 Ford Econovan 15001-50 Porsche 911 Speedster 15001-56 Jaguar XJ200 15001-68 Mercedes Benz C36 Racer 15001-78 Ford GP 15001-79 Dodge Viper GTSR 15001-82 Dodge Dakota
Around a year later,around 1998,a series of two-packs with,initially,Motor Works markings would be offered.The numberatiom would 15085 for the series;01 to on from each dual-stacked vehicles. A theme was given - say,Little Red Corvettes,and the Corvette 1982 and ZR-1 will be part of the theme given above,and its reference number would be 15085-12.By 1999,at least at Wal Mart,these dual pack would be called the Road and Track series but the concepts would be same: the 15085 number will prevail,along with the vehicle theme and the series of double-digits numberation,going to close to 60. These items would be listed and discussed later.
Next entry:the Predecessor of the Transit Authorities.

Dear All:
Maisto's reference numbers. 3.Special Editions.Around 1999,a series of window-boxed items could be found at the counters from K B Toys stores and later on,at Long's Pharmacies,among other places.By then,Maisto three inch series just could be described with a word: immense,among the cars trucks and even buses which were part of this collection. The cars were sold individually,with the boxes described above,in sets of two and with boxed sets of twenty which were the way one could assess what was new on their three inch world (on my experience,I would find the new releases at these 20-car boxed sets and then individually).This time,there was only one number:11001.Contrary what would happened with other manufacturers,the box was a fit-it-all type:only one number and there were no saying which car was inside it.When I would try to report this series,I would look even at the flaps of the box to see if I could find another number.Nope.So,I would report these in order of scale,vehicle type and description.These times,were,however,before my own 'Computer Age' ,which it would begin in 2002.An year later,by checking the Maisto Site,I discovered that each car actually had a reference number,and this time,it was alphanumeric.These numbers - that fortunately,I wrote down - were deleted prior to 2005,when a new numerical sequence was introduced.This report covers all of the Special Series and Transit Authority Series and these are the vehicles which appear in countless Themes,including Tonka.Again,I did not found these number references published anywhere;this time,the info came from Maisto's site.
The list (quite long): 11001a1----------Mercedes Benz ML 11001a2----------Mercedes Benz S-Class 11001a3----------Mercedes Benz C-Class 11001a4----------Mercedes Benz SLK 11001a5----------Mercedes Benz CLK Cabrilet 11001a6----------Mercedes Benz 500 SL 11001a7----------Mercedes Benz CLK-GTR Street Car 11001a8----------Mercedes Benz 260SEL 11001aa----------Oldsmobile Profile Concept 2000 11001b1----------Porsche Turbo 11001b2----------Porsche 550A Spyder 11001b3----------Porsche Boxster 11001b4----------Porsche 956 11001b5----------Porsche 959 11001b6----------Porsche 911 Carrera 11001b7----------Porsche 911 Speedster 11001b8----------Porsche 356A 11001bb----------GMC Terradyne Concept 2000 11001c1A---------Chevrolet Corvette 1997 11001c2A---------Chevrolet Corvette 11001c3A---------Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 11001c4A---------Plymouth Pronto Spyder Concept 11001c5A---------Plymouth Prowler 11001c6A---------Plymouth Pronto Cruizer 11001c7A---------Chevrolet Silverado 1999 11001c8A---------Chevrolet Monte Carlo 1997 11001c9A---------Chrysler Sebring 11001c10---------Pontiac Firebird 11001cc----------Saturn CV1 Concept 2000 11001d1A---------Volkswagen Golf GTI 11001d2A---------Volkswagen 1300 110011------------Chevrolet Borrego Concept 2001 110012------------Chevrolet Suburban 110013------------Chevrolet Trailblazer 110014------------Hummer H2 SUV 2003 110015------------Hummer H2 SVT Concept 2001 110016------------GMC Terracross Concept 2001 110017------------Cadillac Vizon Concept 2001 110019------------Buick Bengal Concept 2001 1100110-----------Pontiac Rev Concept 2001 1100111-----------Dodge Ram Quad Cab 1100112-----------Jeep Liberty 1100113-----------Opel Speedster 1100114-----------Renault Clio V6 Sport 1100115-----------New Mini Cooper 1100116-----------Lamborghini Murcielago 1100117-----------Lexus IS300 1100118-----------Lexus SC430 1100126-----------Panel Van 1100128-----------Taxi 1100128_1---------Police Car 1100131-----------Car Trailer

Dear All:
Tomica started its activities in 1970;their cars were very detailed and even copied by generic manufacturers and even known ones such as Yat Ming and Welly.The models were manufactured in Japan at first and as of now in China;so their collectors give priority to the Japanese-made items.According to a site which reports the activities from Tomica,10 million collectors get items from this brand.
The Manufacturer was not sucessful in the US because while Hot Wheels and Matchbox sold at the $.99 range,their items went around $1.40 each,and they reproduced Japanese cars,which at that time (the early 1970's) were not so popular.In the end,the brand could be had by specialized mail order stores or eBay.
At the beggining of this Century,Tomica had domestic competiton from Konami and Kyosho,and the latter two Manufacturers mold super detailed items (but found only in Japan).As a result,Tomica diversified its line up,and now offers super-detailed models as well.The ones listed below are miniatures of Vintage Japanese vehicles,in Limited Numbers (launched monthly,as the Atlas Models),known as Limited Vintage Series.
Now,the listings:
LV-02 Prince Gloria LV-03 Toyota Crown LV-04 Datsun Bluebird 1000 LV-05 Datsun Bluebird 1200 LV-06 Toyopet Corona 1500 LV-07 Prince Skyline 1500 LV-08 Toyota Publica LV-09 Hino Contessa LV-10 Isuzu Bellett 1500 LV-11 Isuzu Bellett 1300 LV-13 Prince Clipper Covered Stake Truck LV-14 Prince Clipper Stake Truck LV-15 Datsun 1200 Pick Up LV-21 Toyopet Crown Station Wagon LV-22 Mazda Luce Coupe RE LV-25 Isuzu Hillman Minx LV-26 Subaru 360 Custom LV-27 Subaru Sambar Van LV-28 Mazda Carol LV-30 Nissan Junior Fire Engine LV-31 Nissan Patrol Fire Engine LV-32 Nissan Cedric Patrol Car LV-33 Nissan Cedric Taxi LV-34 Prince Clipper Vaccum Car LV-35 Prince Clipper Dust Cart
And the series is organized as such:different color on cars have a letter assigned to each variation,such as LV-02a,LV-02b,and so on.Fire Engines have a different location marked on the vehicle and also go by a,b,c and so on;same set-up on the Cedric Taxi.Commercial Vehicles,at times,have a different set-up as the assigned letters progress.

Dear All:
See,when this dealer stated that his Motormax Fresh Cherries were 1/87 scale,at first I did not believed because in general,some eBay dealers does not have a notion of scale.
This happened as of know,when this dealer describes this High Speed Oldsmobile as 1/87,when in reality is a bigger item.
High Speed been,as my sources states,in business for a while,so it was one of this junk-model producers who graduated higher with the Reader's Digest offerings.The Individual who made a subscription to their Condensed books had a choice of these vehicles and they also could be had as a paid item.Up to 2001 or so,the publisher been giving these prizes away for a period of ten years (High Speed first issued some Generic Antique Cars - which I believe are still distributed by IHC - and then a series of classic which were very well done - with lots of detail - and these are the basis of some of the 1/87 scale cars which are offered by Model Power.
The box for the 1/64 scale is red and white and very peculiar (has the photo of the vehicle in it).So,if these boxes are seen close to the car in the auction photo,the vehicle will be a High Speed in 1/64 scale.
Below,the 1/64 scaled cars which were made by High Speed and offered by Reader's Digest:
HF-438 1964 Ford Mustang HF-439 1957 Chevrolet Corvette HF-440 1963 Ford Thunderbird HF-441 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air HF-442 1969 442 Oldsmobile HF-443 1956 Ford F-100 Truck HF-444 1953 Cadillac Eldorado HF-445 1969 Camaro
As seen,Model Power offers all these in 1/87 scale.
