They also changed from metal bases to plastic bases over the years. Late 80's to early 90's is when the change was phased in. Now only the 'Premium' models have metal bases.

Every time this gets reposted, I have to wonder how many people actually buy those things for the design stamped into the underside.

It's sad to see how much they reduced the detail and quality throughout the years, all just to maintain stock prices in the company. In a few years, it'll be just a car shaped plastic block, with no doors or windows.

Has the detail and quality been reduced, though? This seems like one of those things people just say without bothering to check if it's actually true.
