Everything about 1/64 scale diecast cars from Hot Wheels through super premium boutique diecast and resin models. My weekly videos are a showcase of interesting models from a mix of local mainline and premium finds and premium finds sourced from around the world. I typically show 15-30 models each week and I'm constantly on the lookout for new and interesting models from brands both known and unknown and everything I find gets shared with you.
27:10 Some words about Технопарк Hyundai Creta. This brand is a toy brand actually. They sell a lot of stuff for kids in here Russia, very poor quality, very cheap though. You can translate it like TechnoPark or smth like this. There's no adequate scales, so you can meet such car and kinda tram or bus both equal size. I just wonder, how you've found it in USA?!
Nice but not as nice as a resin MY64 or DMH - those while not featuring any opening parts are just breathtaking. And that comes from someone who is collecting 1/18 CMC models and recently discovered resin 1/64 high end models.
I collect 3rd gen Camaros, Fox Body Mustangs, Square Bodies, Cudas, and old fat fender Fords and having several variations to choose from is great for me. I'm also a big fan of Moon Eyes stuff, which they also have a lot of as well.
Not gonna lie, I buy HW cars as toys. I drive them all over my desk like the Fast and Furious movies. For $1 - $2, you can't complain and you have fun. I agree HW premium ain't worth the higher price, all my absolute favorite cars I buy MiniGT, Inno or Tarmac and I still buy the HW if I wanna play with the car.
I got my first mini gt! It's the silvia s15 lbwk (Metallic purple) it looks so good. I was collecting hotwheels premiums and realized that the prices are almost the same. In terms of quality, Mini Gt is miles ahead. So now I've decided i will stop buying hotwheels and just save up for Mini GT or pop race. Quality over quantity.
Putting all the pieces together, sadly this seems to be the final video of this series. Really enjoyed the videos over the years, would be awesome for a friend to keep it going, but doesn't seem to be the case. Thanks Stinger for all the great videos!
Greenlight cars are really amazing and they are more realistic than Matchbox and Hotwheels combined. However, they are much more costly compared to Matchbox and Hotwheels and much harder to get since they do not really expand outside of America (I live outside of USA). Some times the cars also have defects like the paint coming off easily and some damaged ones when they arrive in the packaging. But over all, i still think that Greenlight is the best diecast car brand ever.
The only reason I'm collecting Bandai model kits and not 64 die casts is because most of them don't roll. Recently found out about these and MiniGT so I got myself a Lincoln Capri. Hoping this doesn't turn into a rabbit hole!
I was about to pick up 2 yesterday, they look so cool in the package, upon further inspection, i seen a.lot of imperfections, the mustang had the fog lights in grill crooked, the corvette had a scratch on the door, at $7 a pop I would hope it had better quality, I put them back, loved the cars but if you look close, you see a few mess ups, sorry cant spend that kinda money for a less then a "HW PREMIUM" I thought lets get some better cars then just hot wheels mainlines, but too many imperfections for me, they spend a lotta money on the packaging, maybe they need to rethink where their investing their quality
I just picked up a storage unit with 87 totes of toys a few of them were full of m2 Haulers and probably 500 cars more or less still going through them.
I'm kind of disappointed on my m2s, they have potential but paint defects bother me a lot, I have a mustang that is 2 colors, it seems they painted the second over the first color which is ok, but the person that painted it touched it while the paint was still wet, so there are some fingerprint and dots of paint in a lot of places, it's fixable (bad because of the type of paint they use, still fixable tho) but still really disappointing.
I find it curious that that white Siku BMW 750i, I have it but "Made in Poland" 🇵🇱, it is rare at this point that there are diecasts that are not from Asia (mainly China and several South Asian countries), another example is the "Guisval" which is the only one that continues to be made in Spain, I think they are the only ones that continue in Europe By the way, they don't reach my country Chile either, but there is a store in my city that carries Siku separately and on its own because they have trucks, cranes, machinery and tractors, they are of very good quality but cheap, because they sold a Siku crane in the US Approximately $170 dollars, and those cars cost about US$11 dollars regards,greetings from Chile , South America
IAM like you, just like other brands, they have 2or3 tiers of quality. Hot wheels use to be all metal chasis, now plastic and you pay Alot more for all metal 🤔. I love this M2 brand. They are small keep in mind. Love your channel 😊
I think Auto World and Johnny Lightning are the best quality diecast cars for under $10. They don't always roll as smooth as other brands, like HW Premiums, but they display very nicely.
I started collecting M2 Machines a few years ago. I stopped shortly after because of how AWFUL the quality is. I'm a big fan of MiniGT and Tarmac these days. Kaido House models are so awesome. Also M2 has zero customer service. ZERO.
Carney diecast display cases are garbage. They have thin plastic rear pieces that crack very easily. The case that I received was cracked in the rear near one of the mounting holes. I contacted them and suggested that they use thicker plastic in the rear. Their excuse was that thin plastic was all that was available. Carney refused to correct the problem and they acted like they did not really care. They did refund my money, but, I will never buy another diecast display case from Carney. 🤔
Thanks, I'm building a 0-scale layout and started collecting the M2 vehicles 6 years ago. My layout is modeled from the 40's to the 70s, and The 1/64th scale vehicles actually worked best with my postwar collection due to selective compression. I look for cars that are stock without advertising and trucks with advertising on them unless it's a specific set with advertising like the Sunoco 55 Nomad and trailer. The 1/64th scale is also compatible with the Lionel diecast semi trucks, construction vehicles, flat car loads, and autoracks. Walmart was a good source before the pandemic, and now I find Hobby Lobby usually has a good selection of several different brands of 1/64th scale diecast vehicles. The auto hauler is neat. I haven't seen it before, but it's on my list now. I like the opening doors and hoods. I use them for static displays, and I like that I can display them alongside my service stations and gas pumps with the doors and hoods opened. I thought that M2 must be modeling them for model railroading because everything about them works perfectly for the most popular era to model in. Perhaps the diecast car collector's should purchase an 0-scale gas station, auto repair, or speed shop to make a diorama to display their cars. Menards has several affordable lighted Texaco, Sinclair, and dealership buildings that would make a good display that fit the era that M2 produces in.
