Hot Wheels Matchbox 1/64 Scale Diecast Display Case Cabinet Wall Rack w/UV Protection

Being the Scrooge that I am, I wasn't sure I wanted to lay out the $80 for this case when there are cheaper alternatives out there. But since I didn't want a cheap-looking acrylic case, I eventually went with this one, and I'm glad I did. It was very well packed, wrapped in bubble-wrap, tucked inside styrofoam, enclosed in a cardboard box, inside another cardboard box with a bit of packing paper to keep it from sliding around. There was even a small foam sheet between the shelves and the glass to make sure it all arrived in one piece. Pulling it out of all the packing, it smelled strongly of glue. A high-gloss finish was applied to all of the visible wood surfaces (I went with the cherry). The back is made of felt-covered cardboard and is stapled to the back of every shelf with three staples. It feels sturdy. Has a big Made in China sticker in the middle. The door fits flush over the front; it's not airtight, but it does fit well and should easily keep dust off the contents. The interior sides of the case are notched for the shelves to rest in. It looks like they are slid in from the back and presumably glued in place. They are securely anchored and not adjustable. A half-round strip slightly thicker than a shelf is glued on the front of each shelf, creating a tiny lip to provide a little extra assurance that your cars won't accidentally slide off. If you cram them together you can get five cars on each shelf for a total capacity of 60, but I gave mine a little room to breathe so it will only hold 48. I would buy it again. Edit 1/16/2013: After almost two years and a move to a new home, this case is still in great shape and looks beautiful on my wall. The other reviewers are correct, the door is not actually glass but it works great for me. It's transparent, blocks UV and is thick enough to feel sturdy. My collection has grown though; I now have 53 cars in it, forcing me to put 5 cars on some shelves. I haven't bought another one of these cases yet because I'm a Scrooge, but I did just order a matching baseball bat case from this company. I'm sold on the craftsmanship!

It definitely helps me by taking up a lot of cars. Yep, I collect too many of them. The case also displays them in the best way possible.

Very nice display case hold all my hot wheel cars. Well worth the money.

Wow! Really impressed. If your reading this then you do research and I am the same way. So when I advise you to stop researching and buy this product, I mean it. Here is why: 1) A+ Quality = sturdy with quality construction and professional finish, brackets are tight and clasp well closing all seems around display with perfect fit, hanging mounts in rear upper and left corners are connected firmly to cabinet and they come with hanging hardware 2) A+ Appearance = I ordered 2 black displays and the finish is extremely smooth and glossy, no bubbling or cracking, no ‘pits’ in frame or cabinet sides 3) A+ Packaging = both packages were bundled together as to keep the shipment together, internally packaged with foam corners and also foam supports on back and front of display, easy to remove glass protectant in both sides of cabinet door 4) A+ Price = searched all over online and a million different ideas and found the answer is here, no better option for price with quality Added a quick photo. Not hung yet but had to open and see what it looked like.

My 3 year old owns ~75 hot wheel vehicles which typically is scattered throughout every room in our home. I bought this to help clutter. It looks nice, is of decent quality, and does what it is designed to do. Although two things to keep in mind: 1) it only fits Hot Wheels, a lot of the matchbox cars doesn't fit 2) It takes significantly more effort for a 3-5 year old to put cars into display case vs just throwing them in a bucket which is much easier and cheaper. Overall I think it's still worth it because it makes for a nice wall decoration for kids rooms.

I use these for my cars from the Car Wars game. No more hiding them in a box, up on the a wall for all to see and be envious of. :-) Really a fabulous way to display any set of cars or I assume lot of other things. Excellent craftsmanship.

I've been trying to find a nice display case for my dad for sometime now, and this one was perfect! My dad loved it, and wants to order another one soon. The quality of this display is excellent!

Very nice unit. The only thing stopping it from 5 stars is the mounting hardware. This could be improved.

I found that the quality good be better for the price paid.

Great value
