Yeah, they are plastic cars. Big%20smile  I think they did make some C1's with another care inside (like the T-Bird).  You got some of them (C1's)?  Got pictures?

So what scale are the Micro Machine die cast Vettes?
Are they only made by Galoob?

They are "Micro" scale....
The Corvette Collectors Edition cars are a little larger than normal Micro Machines. Regular Micros are about the size of a penny...
Galoob is the only company that makes the brand name "Micro Machines", but there are some other really tiny die-cast cars made by others.
Did ya'll know the Hot Wheels(Mattel) actually makes(made) some tiny "Micro"-sized cars too? I've got a few of those...one is a '34 Ford coupe, and I think there's a '57 Chebbie too...

Yes I remember the Micro Machines with the small cars inside, I'll ask my son if he remembers the name of them.
 
Heres my only picture of my Micro Machine, it's the smallest at the bottom.  I've since bought another 78 Pace Car MM thats still in the package.

Got the car...not the signature. It ruins the value...

Huh, ya right, I wish, would be my dream.  I know I said I don't like C6's, well I'm taking that all back for 2008 LOL
