My small collection is mostly a mix of AW, JL, GL, and M2s with just a small amount of HWs and Matchboxs. I greatly prefer the more realistic looking cars compared to the more fantastical. Of the Autoworlds, the Vintage Muscles have been my favorites. The 1971 Dodge Dart Swinger has been my favorite casting by AW so far.
Thank you, I tried to make it a goal to collect every casting a while back but didn't have the space or money for it. Perhaps in the future I can make it work.
the few of these i've bought have been outstanding...really great idea for this company to make a line of 1/64 cars/trucks that are completely accurate in details/comparative size...
I do love Auto World. They give me options for cars that I wouldn't get from Hot Wheels or Matchbox or Maisto. The Dodge Conquest is exactly a perfect example (I'd been looking for its stable mate the Daytona Turbo Z because I've been watching the 80s TV show Hunter., and the Conquest scratched my Dodge itch). Nobody else made the 73 Pontiac GTO, nor those Landau top Cadillacs. Sometimes it's not about hunting or Treasure or Super Treasure. Sometimes, it's all about a Camaro convertible or something else off the main. Great video.
Thanks for watching. Auto World is just perfect for finding things nobody else makes. I'd also bring a pocket car with me everywhere but my pockets aren't spacious enough for the jeans I wear. Definitely need to start wearing cargo shorts again when it gets warmer out.
I haven't seen very many M2 castings lately that I've even considered picking up. I bought a truck from them a while ago and the quality control was just horrible. Hopefully they improved on it this year.
@@AGrownManWithToys I agree they do have bad quality control i think there more for the carded boxed collector my thing is all they wanna do is line come sprite stuff like that but the chases r beautiful
Auto World, and Johnny Lightning are my favorites to collect, but their price had kept me from having my collection being anything but mostly Hotwheels and Matchbox for years. I was finally stable enough in 2018, and began altering my collection to AW and JL, heavy. I also prefer to hold, and inspect, my collection, off the card! However, the cards for Auto World are really great, and so I have left many on card. I love that some cards have the paint color, all cards have historical information, and neat card art. Dang it, I sure wish I could afford 2 of each casting that I like. Then, I could manipulate, and enjoy, off card, the Auto World, and Johnny Lightning, diecasts. My favorites to collect are station wagons, pickups, vans, mustangs(prefer '92 and before) and muscle cars that are pre 2000.😢 This is my first-time watching a video of yours, and it was fun! I enjoyed seeing the vehicles up closer, pieces of your collection, and your enthusiasm 😀
Oh yeah I love the card art that Auto World does! I actually have a huge box filled with all the peeled cards that I might plaster together one day for a decoration piece. But yes, the information they have on the sides relating to the casting is such a cool touch! Thank you for the comment!
@@AGrownManWithToys that putting all the cards together, design, sounds 👌🔥 fantastic! Think I will stick around, you're my kind of grown man with toys 😄
Thank you! Yeah I definitely had to pick this name, stands out and is goofy. I really need to try and collect more 1/43 scale but haven't found many that are a reasonable price for what I'm looking for.
@@JoseSuarez-bk3qg Is there a specific brand that you recommend? The only 1/43 scale I have is a NEO First Gen Honda Prelude in Black. Quality is a little poor for the price in my opinion but I could have just gotten a bad model.
I also have all 6 variations. So much fun to have all of them next to each other. I would like to have at least 1 ultra red Mark V in my collection. I miss when I used to have time to head to the store during peak stocking hours to find the good stuff.
Yes, except that it is incredibly tiny! 😆 Even with my glasses on, I need a magnifying 🔎 glass, to read the base information. That is the one thing that really frustrates me about the Auto World, and Johnny Lightning, vehicles.
Auto World is great. I love their Luxury Cruisers series. I have the Lincoln Mark V, Cadillac El Dorado, and Cadillac Deville. One thing about AW is that they put narrow tires on their muscle cars, which makes them kind of odd looking from the front.
Wish auto world would have nicer wheels. Width I mean. Got a Jeep rubicon and it has the skinniest rims and tires. Wheel faces look nice , but drop ball on widths.
Well I collect all brands. Lately don't collect hot wheels...I get it that's where you can make good money because that's where you find bigger fools but if you aren't in it to profit there are much better brands to collect with better detail. To each their own but I prefer higher detail over fad at the end of the day I collect for the hobby and my family will have a ball selling everything for $1 when I'm gone 😂 Thanks for sharing... autoworld in my opinion has awesome castings and details are spot on .
Every now and then I'll pick up a hot wheels car if I see something cool, but 90% of the time I'm looking for auto world. Just a better thing to collect
I know I'm late to the party , but ; well stated, detail and quality over fad. Thou I have HW , I will collect outside of that make. But the question of economics also plays a part in my collecting , all about what I like ,and willing to pay. But we'll said , keep up the good work , and thanks.
Thank you for the comment! I believe this hobby should definitely be more focused on collecting what people like rather than abusing some things to make some cash on the side. I may make a video about that actually...
@@AGrownManWithToys Thank you for replying , good to know we're on the same wave length , I hope the hobby can maintain some integrity , and reasonable prophet to continue in the hobby. Thank you again.
Thanks for the correction, definitely have too many years and models to remember. Now that I think about it I should probably write this stuff down before I just hit record and ramble.
I actually happen to have quite a few of them. Not as many as some other guys on RU-vid but a decent amount. I'd love to do a couple videos on my Ultra Red collection sometime
'66 Impala. '65-'66 were virtually identical '65 had round taillights and '66 had the horizontal rectangles like yours. '67 went to different body style. 👀
I really gotta study and improve on my car knowledge. I love the way they look and would love to own and collect some land yachts one day, but man I gotta do my homework.
Yeah I haven't seen anything between 5 stores in my city. Unfortunately I gotta resort to ordering stuff online, finding stuff in store is so much more fun though.
