I certainly wouldn't dismiss these models as 'mere junk' - true, they may not be state of the art, but they're certainly good enough for 'casual display' - some models are great for 'close inspection', admiring the tiny details you've (most likely) paid a fortune for - others serve a different, but also very important, purpose, that is to show what models, body-styles, versions were available from different car makers in different eras.
Just imagine, if everything we bought had to be superb quality high-end models? It would take ages to collect enough models to fill the 2nd purpose mentioned above.
Another thing is, that we shouldn't forget, that the vintage collectables of today all started as 'toys', yet we certainly appreciate them today. Think of early Dinky/Corgi... no windows, no interior, no nothing, just a cast shell with wheels. And then, when interiors did come along, the detail levels were often downright pitiful (a single piece of plastic, very crudely made). Compared to these early models, your New Ray are genuine pieces of art.
