Well

I class my kyosho and minichamps as models because they are so highly detailed and would be rather expensive toys sometimes.

Corgi has become more collectable in recent years and so I wouldnt class it as a toy. See matchbox as toys as they are quite lowly detailed, inexpensive new and still come in plastic blister packs.


I also race Radio control Cars and my race cars are most certainly not toys when they can reach speeds of 70mph plus, are more adjustable setup wise than a modern Formula 1 car, and are made from Aircraft grade materials. (And the sport is a recognised form of motorsport)

I do however have the remote control GP and other remote control toys, but I class them as remote control toys (although the GP has never been used) and the race cars as radio control since many of the remote control ones dont use radio waves and are pretty crudely engineered to take abuse as a toy.
