The 1993 Matchbox "World
Sports" Series released by TYCO
Series
consisted of
Ferrari 512BB
Porsche 959
Ferrari F4
Jaguar XJ220
Ford Thunderbird
Chevrolet Lumina
A nice 1:43
model with good Tampo printing but very small number of Co-sponsors
shown, also spoilt by the poor quality wheels.
Perhaps TYCO
thought they could attack Racing Champions stranglehold on the 1:43 NASCAR Market ?
Racing Champions countered with the 1:43 Premier series and undercut TYCO's pricing.
Some of these
models reappeared packaged in a series of Paired Bubble packs
for European Toys'R'US for several years.
