YES WOW! He should make like a museum for his collection I would certainly pay a few bucks just to see those awesome toys and his work absolutely amazing how much work and dedication he has put into this love it! Also speaking of the girls around the hot rods FUNNY STORY when I met my ex-husband he had a burnt orange 1969 Nova pristine condition, the motor was crome and black 4 barrel carb, that car is what brought us together then he sold it to buy my wedding rings I was sick lol
Someone needs to create a museum with al these! It is an incredible collection. And truly a shame to break it up. He's put so much care and work into this collection!
How very neat to see you and your wife together. She is a sweetheart. Very neat collection. It is amazing to see how people spend their time and money. Thanks so much for sharing. You would need a huge place for the whole collection. So neat.
Ohh man what a collection he has going there. If you ever get some of those trucks he had like that Mack and the others he had lined up i would be interested in those. Thanks for the tour of this Alex.
Great episode - the trip and then seeing all of the treasures, hopefully you will go back for some of the items on the list you made. Thanks for posting!
His whole collection should go into a Toy Museum, a Children's Travelling Museum or a Play Library! The Toy Museum visit could include a short film production by you, telling them all about the history, and/or a compilation of the shows each diarama represents. And with that stash of packaged vintage cars you found at that other house recently, the museum could buy them off you and either gift one each to the children visiting, or have them for sale in a museum gift shop. It would also make a cool Children's Travelling Museum or Play Library for children's hospitals and orphanages, where institutionalized kids could play with the diaramas for a while on each visit, and again a foundation could gift them each a car from the packaged collection. Therapists often use sets like these to help children express themselves, tell stories and process their emotions.
Dude! This was so awesome! I've been a collector for years and sold off 3/4ths of my collection last year at auction. What a heart-breaker! Now I'm going thru withdrawal. LOL Just the other day I was certain I still had the '57 Cadillac Brougham with suicide doors and real brushed aluminum roof from Franklin Mint, but no!!! I know what the other guy is going thru. The collection is everything but then you realize cash is even better! Still have my Danbury Mint cars and the 1/12 Cadillac 1951 convertible and the Bugatti Royale limousine from Franklin. They'll have to rip those from my cold dead hands one day I guess! ;)
@Curiosity Incorporated, Ale, another one which popped up on my feed tonight. And OMGosh! This must be the lead that led you to Mary Brogstrom's house!!! A little Easter Egg there at the end... Who knew this would turn your lies topsy-turvy. And look at all the changes in so many people's lives since this one.... Adam, Josh & Jakota, Melissa and her channel, Heather O. and Alyssa's channel and your American side of the family, Austin and his channel. Hans and his new house, and Zinovia. Bob the bottleman. Oh,, and how can I forget, Stephen's channel with his amazing art! So many lives changed, and so many people's lives who follow all these wonderful folks. All because you have a TH-cam Channel, and because of an amazing collection of diecasts!
Greetings from Clay County Missouri! I can see the relation to the potter in the art. Their creativity just took different paths. Thanks again! GL & HH
Very nice! When I actively collected Smurf figures I always displayed them similarly, like they were interacting with each other. I like his style, much more fun than everything just in a row behind glass, there are little stories everywhere you look :) Thanks for sharing!
Wow that guys got a really fantastic collection, I love miniatures and making little scenes for them. By the way I agree with you’re lovely wife about taking the Volvo with the ice tyres on lol, better to be safe and warm. Great video. 👍👍👍👍👍
Wow--I could have spent all day in there just checking all those displays.....he is so talented the way he fixed up all those scenes. Sorry he has to sell them all.
Bet the figures are worth a lot, something you don't see. Liked the way he sits everything up. check around u tube, there are people who have huge car collections like what he has. He should show to the public and charge for the up keep. Most of the collectors are guys,they like their cars. But he made each as a city or scene in movie to make it more interesting.
This is my Absolute Favorite of all your videos I've seen!!! I Love cars. Die cast, miniatures , models, and regular size old cars and pickups. My gran and my dad owned a garage when I was growing up in the 60's and 70's. My dad used to buy old cars and pickups and fix them up (like you do) and then sell it and buy another one and start all over. So my love for old cars and trucks was in my blood from an early age. My dad would build models and race tracks with my brother. Tho not me as I was a girl in the 60's and that wasn't done back then. I had Barbies. So I also love all the little people this guy has with his cars!! I do collect cars and trucks for myself, since times have changed and now being female, it's ok to do. I would love to have many of the items in his collection for MY collection. Sadly, I'm like you, no money for that. But I thank you so much for this video. And all of them. You are so smart and I am so reminded of my dad in the things you do. He and my grandad could do Anything! They're both gone now. But I think of them often watching you do things. You're a talented man. And you have a beautiful family. Blessings.
You know one of my most favorite things to do is to go on you tube and watch these collections these guys have of toy cars. Me being a collector of toys cars myself. Its always nice to see someone else's collection. I spend a lot of time on you tube looking at these. Some over and over. But as much as I like these I would say I like as much to see the ladies comments on these collections. Most of the comments are from guys. Love what the ladies say about the collections.
There's definitely nothing average about that collection. It's very nice indeed and I spotted a few in there that a whole lot of collectors would give their eye teeth for... Ford do still make sedans/saloons for police use, they make a Police Interceptor version of the Taurus which is available with 4-wheel drive...
I grew up in New Hampshire (USA) and learned to drive in the snow in blizzard conditions my first 3 hours in Driver’s Ed back in 1990. Now I live in North Carolina and we don’t typically get more than 1 good snow per year...8-12”...and its usually completely melted in 2-4 days. EVERYTHING shuts down and I’m nearly the only person on their road. We got 12-14” in early December. I tried going to Walmart and even Walmart was CLOSED. Blew my mind. I LOVE driving in the snow. It’s really not that hard. People just panic.
With this set up, I’m thinking he wants big money for anything he sells. (I agree with your wife. The icy road was scary!) This collection is outstanding (and I’m not a die-cast metal car enthusiast.) I’m hoping you can get some of this collection!
when they want unrealistic prices it always signals to me they really do not want to sell. people dont build up a collection like that just to " move on " like the guy said. he will regret selling
Poor Mellisa, she looks on the verge of tears. I know what she feels like. I spend 6 months a year in snow (Alaska) and everyone goes at 80mph and zoom right by. Blessings
Thank you for sharing this great video. What a dream collection you had chance to visit, amazing. Looking forward to see what you (eventually) buy from this artist. Please drive carefully, your wife was really looking scared after your drive to this place, lol. Take and waiting for the following episode. Merci and best regards from Finland, Pascal
At the 6 minute mark you & the collector Showed a model of a Chrysler turbin car. 😲 In the little salvage yard 😲🙆♀️ ..Being from Det.Mi. 😥 I noticed that 😍And the figurines Omgoodness AWESOME ✌️ AWESOME COLLECTION ✌️🤚👍😍
When I lived in Muskoka Ontario, there were some days when I drove home there was a white out and the national guard was out to rescue people who got stuck in the snow. Muskoka is in the snow belt. The last winter I lived in Canada the snow drifts were 6 metres high. Now over here in Denmark the last 10 years the lowest temperature was +10°. Believe it or not I really miss winters in Muskoka.
YES WOW! He should make like a museum for his collection I would certainly pay a few bucks just to see those awesome toys and his work absolutely amazing how much work and dedication he has put into this love it! Also speaking of the girls around the hot rods FUNNY STORY when I met my ex-husband he had a burnt orange 1969 Nova pristine condition, the motor was crome and black 4 barrel carb, that car is what brought us together then he sold it to buy my wedding rings I was sick lol
LOL. liked your comment and your liking for this kinda hobby.
What a wonderful way to spend your time with something you enjoy 😉 doing! I just sit here and watch TH-cam videos 🤪.
Why retire, make this into a Die Cast Museum. This is stuff of legends, it has made me emotional.
Someone needs to create a museum with al these! It is an incredible collection. And truly a shame to break it up. He's put so much care and work into this collection!
the hangover guy at @4:29 had me dying !!! this collection is the best I have ever seen, this is just pure passion displayed.
It is so cute how excited he is to show off all his prizes! I just love the cheer in his voice you can tell he really loves his collection!
Being a serious diecast collector myself I was floored by this collection. Truly magnificent.
It’s an amazing collection! Hopefully I can get a hold of some of it :)
That is the coolest collection I have ever seen. So much fun to see what he did with them. Thanks for sharing.
How very neat to see you and your wife together. She is a sweetheart. Very neat collection. It is amazing to see how people spend their time and money. Thanks so much for sharing. You would need a huge place for the whole collection. So neat.
Wow a classic reply from Melissa "Not even in our driveway" That was funny ;-)
So very nice to see you and the boss out together and having some fun. His collection is amazing.
Thank you Alex and Melissa for taking us along to see that fantastic collection! ❤️🇨🇦
In our house it goes both ways....”Happy spouse happy house” equally important how we both feel:)
Wow! He really set all those up in an excellent way! He could sell tickets to his house!
Whole giant diorama ... this should be preserved and placed in a museum. Amazing collection!
That's a very nice collection, many days of work and patience for building everything.
Thanks for sharing.
I'd do this if I were retired. This guy has the most impressive and organized collection of anything I've ever seen! I'm so glad this video exists!
That toy collection is wild!!
Great Video, glad you had Melissa with you and getting her initiated on camera.
Hi Guys( and Gals)
That collection is a labor of love....It's not just the cars...awesome.
Where were the kids...school?
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Our oldest was baby sitting
A home grown baby sitter, How great is that!!!
That is one hell of a collection! Massive respect to that man!
good to have melissa along........quite the collection, good where it is!
Ohh man what a collection he has going there.

THis is a great collection. Thanks for showing it. .. I usually collect smaller scale. THANK! Great eye candy
Incredible! What a great collection and display. A very enjoyable video to watch. Thanks for sharing!
Love the scenes he created with the cars and looks like a lot of fun to make and show!
I have the same motto, "Happy wife, happy life." I hope you have a great Christmas. TTYL, Mark, Bemidji, MN. USA
Nice to hear the wife talk. Nice giggle she has.

That collection should be turned into a die-cast museum!
Oh my goodness , WOW , he has some great stuff !
Wow! Wow! Wow! What a cool collection!
So glad he showed his collection and sad he had to let it go. Any kind of minatures make me so happy.
Very nice! When I actively collected Smurf figures I always displayed them similarly, like they were interacting with each other. I like his style, much more fun than everything just in a row behind glass, there are little stories everywhere you look :) Thanks for sharing!

Yes, aren't they great?!!!
Wow--I could have spent all day in there just checking all those displays.....he is so talented the way he fixed up all those scenes. Sorry he has to sell them all.
If you are going to collect I feel this is the way to display and enjoy.
Wow! I'm impressed with his set-up. Like a die cast museum. This was lots of fun. Nice to see your wife come along.
If it snowed that much in Georgia, we'd think the world was coming to an end!
An amazing collection! I love cars.
A mate of mine has one of those Volvos,the last one sold in OZ and hes really happy with it. And hes a dyed in the wool Merc nut too.
What a nice, creative guy, I love the way his mind works! I agree with the others, he could seriously open a museum
He needs to make a tourist attraction out of it, he’s so talented
That was incredible!
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Okay Alex, this collection has crazy wow factor rating-so glad your bride accompanied you today; y’all are adorable and clearly in love. Peace-out!
That was a fun set up....great imagination and love for his collection

Beautiful diecasts, love them. Tell him that I said he did a good job.
There's definitely nothing average about that collection. It's very nice indeed and I spotted a few in there that a whole lot of collectors would give their eye teeth for...
Ford do still make sedans/saloons for police use, they make a Police Interceptor version of the Taurus which is available with 4-wheel drive...
Very cool collection.
Epic collection.
Amazing cars👍🤗
I remember in the late 90's when they where $ 20.00 a car now there there $50 to $60 with out the box. And well over a $100 in the box unopened.
I grew up in New Hampshire (USA) and learned to drive in the snow in blizzard conditions my first 3 hours in Driver’s Ed back in 1990. Now I live in North Carolina and we don’t typically get more than 1 good snow per year...8-12”...and its usually completely melted in 2-4 days.

It’s really not that hard. People just panic.
Loved the Willy's wagon
That is a beautiful die cast collection
AMAZING! Iwatch this video at least two times a week.
Fist time I’ve heard you rattle off a few “eh’s” in your videos. LOL You make great videos, love to watch them.
Very cool collection for sure. A car guys dream!
And a car GIRLS dream!!! I love them!
Nice collection 👍
Like where do you start that's just amazing all those cars a lot of nice ones I like the old Dodges and Plymouth but what are you going to do 👍👍🇨🇦
I would just buy his house and open up another antique shop right there. Much easier than moving all that stuff!
So cool. should be all in its own museum
Glad to see the wife. Was just asking about her. Lovely
I lived in Edmonton back 2007 and i was shocked by how fast people drive. It was INSANE! like 140km on the high way during rush hour was nothing.
Your a Canadian Hardy type (wife) in a XC90 Volvo with winter Tyres no worries 😀
That Wolverine figure by the aistream sipping on a 40. Nice.
Great !!!!!👍👍👍👍😀⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️thanks for the cars trucks etc show!!!!!!
i see alot of money spent in those cars. But the figures are worth money too. Loved the collection some of them i have and some i havent seen before.
So much cool stuff :) even the figures are cool too!
nice collection
With this set up, I’m thinking he wants big money for anything he sells. (I agree with your wife. The icy road was scary!) This collection is outstanding (and I’m not a die-cast metal car enthusiast.) I’m hoping you can get some of this collection!

Did this guy win the Lottery? A lot of money spent on that collection!
Spotted my favorite movie car Christine 58 Plymouth fury and 50s Shasta camper just like I have in real life
♥️
Awesome collection!!!!

Catching up on old videos
At the 6 minute mark you & the collector
Showed a model of a Chrysler turbin car. 😲 In the little salvage yard 😲🙆♀️ ..Being from Det.Mi.
😥 I noticed that 😍And the figurines Omgoodness AWESOME ✌️ AWESOME
COLLECTION ✌️🤚👍😍
Very cool to see you out together. Granted you were borrowing her car to do it. Thanks.
It was nice to have her with me :)
It took some convincing for him to use my vehicle :)
That’s some collection.
He is a true artist with his dioramas. For many of his dioramas, I would hate to just buy a single item from them and them break it up.
It’s all for sale just too much $ for me in one go
@@CuriosityIncorporated hopefully you can get it in parts. Maybe 1/4 at a time depending on how much he wants. I would love to see you get it!
Very nice! I'm also a diecast collector. Great dioramas.
What an incredible collection!
It's fricken epic!!

Alan (Zach Galifianakis) from The Hangover at 4:36 and Milton from Office Space at 8:44. Truly an amazing collection. This guy should open a museum.
