They are made to be played with. I don't really think many of the cars they make now will ever be worth very much. They are all produced in such large quantities
They make some in intentionally small numbers and they'll likely never be worth a ton of money individually - but enough of 'em could be worth a fairly tidy sum. But, yeah, they make some in limited editions. Some of 'em are $20 to $50 in unopened packages.
Well yeah, with a limited edition version I could see that increasing in value. Those are the ones you leave in the packages. I suppose some of your real world cars might be limited editions of the toys, as they are in the real cars
Many of my cars are limited editions. Hell, BMW only made 200 examples of the M1. About 50% of them ended up as race cars as factory teams. About 25% ended up being run as race cars as privateers. So, there are almost no street-going M1s out there and very few are in the US.
My P1 is a special model, one of 250. I could go on, but you get the idea.
Pretty much all of my cars are in some way special.
