I easily got the money and resources to make it work, just my mom would kill me, literally, if i touched that money lol
Some of those vintage matchbox cars are worth a lot of money--like over $10k. I'm not sure why you would dip into your savings to buy one, but I guess if you really enjoy collecting them and think it will mature in value it's not a bad investment.

When it comes to discovering Matchbox treasures, few stories top the one involving a collector named Charlie Mack, who one day in the early 1980s stumbled upon a brown “No. 30” crane truck at a neighbor's garage sale. He supposedly bought the toy for $10 and sold it three years later for a whopping $10,000. Another renowned Matchbox collector, Jim Gallegos, who at last estimate owned over 150,000 die-cast miniatures valued at over $1.4 million, reportedly purchased a brown No. 30 crane in 2004 for $13,000.
