They have special bricks for dead bums frozen in puddles you can put inside the abandoned buildings.

Not in the New Center; that's fairly well off.  It would have been funny if they had done either the train station or the Packard Plant.

In Germany: both. We had "genuine" Matchbox cars, but other die cast cars, e.g. by Siku, Corgi, Majorette or Hot Wheels, were also called Matchbox cars.

Doing some research, I think most of mine were probably Hot Wheels after all.
