Would this hold toy matchbox cars? I am looking to put a magnetic strip on my son's wall and place his car collection on them. Would this work?

Just tried it with a few old hotwheels cars, they didn't hold at all. They seem to be made more of plastic than metal, but maybe your son's toys are a different material. The strip holds little metal things (bottle openers, etc...) very well.

I believe matchbox cars are made out of a zinc alloy, so they'll be non-magnetic. (Zinc alloys are easy to cast and relatively cheap.)Easiest way to double check is if a normal magnet will stick to any part of the chassis of the cars.

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't, as long as the cars are made of a magnetic metal. Aluminum is a non-magnetic metal. If the cars are aluminum, it won't work.

The strip itself would hold but you would need to secure it very well to the wall. The only problem with mine is that it slightly pulls out of the wall because I did not use the correct screws

Probably not - it doesn't work 100% with hotwheels/matchbox cars, as they sometimes get unstable on the way down

Yes for the most part. Some longer cars will not go down the ramp freely because of the tight turn. But it seems to fit match box cars, dinosaurs, polly pockets, sharks, aliens. Pretty much anything in the toy bin.

NO, I've used a lot of these magnets! They would not hold the pieces together. The Magnet isn't strong enough!

It basically fits matchbox size cars, give or take. They need to be the heavier metal ones because the weight of the car is what makes it work.

Sure...good idea, but then you wouldn't be able to stack them which are the purpose of legos right? The magnets wouldn't be strong enough to build on though. Hoped I helped.

i am not sure which ones you have. My grandson uses his metal matchbox cars and they work fine.

It us too small for matchbox cars. The microseifter cars are mibis approx 1 " long with tiny wheels. That's where the"micro" comes from

it probably depends on what you want to stick to the wall and how strong a magnet you're using to stick it on. I tried to hang some pictures but they kept slipping off, I did stick magnetic sheeting ( like they use to make car marnets) and that worked well.

Yes to both questions! It's a bit of work to assemble and disassemble, but it is durable enough to do both as needed. Two (Matchbox-type) cars released at the same time from the top level will race to the very bottom rather reliably. The only hesitation in recommending the item is all the stickers...there are LOTS of stickers that need to be applied to the plastic surfaces...though, I suppose you could simply omit all or most of them if you wished.

This works only with very small or micro cars. Standard matchbox won't fit through some sections and will fly off the track.

It would depend on how strong the pull is. The magnet is quite strong but certainly has limits. Don't forget you have mount these pieces and wood would be more ideal.

I'm not sure what it'll do with a matchbox car. but i'm guessing it'll push it out of its way until it triggers the front senor. Which will cause the neato to go around it or back up. If it does go under the neato, the vacuum openning or power isnt strong enough to suck up a matchbox car. But i'll be interested to see what it'll do with a ton of legos on the floor.... as for pets...i own a medium size dog. the neato is pretty loud to get the dog's attention. and if it does bump into the dog, it'll go aroudn it.

Hot Wheels or Matchbox cars should work fine in this- they are a little smaller than the official Cars brand, so there shouldn't be any problems, but I've never tried it.

Yes, the magnet is pretty strong. Only issue I had was keeping it clued onto a wood surface. Can't speak for other surfaces but if I had to guess on a plain wall iy should be fine. Hope this helps.

It depends on how big they are. matchbox/hot wheels cars fit, so if they are around that size or a little bit bigger I would say yes.

I am sure it would hold action figures, but I am not sure how many or how well. Plus the holes are pretty big so it won't hold any thing small. I don't believe it will rip easily. It's sturdy and has some stretch to it. Mine is piled high with stuffed animals but it took some doing to get them all up there.
