The Majorette cars I've bought to my children are all made in Thailand.

There is Siku as well: high quality metal chassis cars in a matchbox form factor with love for detail and realism. We own some 30 years old models which my sons still use today. https://media.siku.de/media/cd/35/8f/1740131169/10256700000_01.jpg

At least the Siku cars I checked just a few weeks ago in a shop were all made in China ๐Ÿ˜ข

The old siku stuff was amazing. Nowadays its metal top, plastic bottom, made in china :( maybe the top models are still german made, but the rest does not compare at all sadly.
