When we had the big fires here in San Diego a few weeks ago and were called to evacuate, one of my first concerns was how to pack up my collection. All I can say is, keep the boxes they come in! That way, value is maintained and transport is easier. You never know how much they may be worth 50 years down the road. As always, great video!
As a kid I collected, but never knew how to handle them as I would play rough with them. I found a few of mine the other day. Most are broken but not all.

They have a small scale performance which seems like the full sized product.
Fantastic Vid bro !!! I have been following your channel for quite some time... Going thro your old videos... Def you have upped your video quality from your old times. Thats the way to go, as with die cast cars the mere watching of cars of collector's like you itself is a great joy ! As anyways your content and the way you present has always been fantastic ! Good luck for efforts !
Thank you for helping me how to sort out my car collection, I started out collecting more of the maisto's and burago's but now I’m going to try saving up my money to collect more of autoart models since higher end models intrigue me a lot more.
I'm really nervous about modifying some of my models, and I think personally I should just let them be, because I would hate to have a model with a modifying defect. Great video btw your doing really well! Keep up the good work Jason!!!!
Great video, very helpful. I collect cars that I like. 1:18 of course. So I have anything from 1963 to 2010 and from BBurago to Autoart to Highway61 to Ertl.
1/18 are great detailed, but for myself many years ago I decided to go on 1/24, because they need much less space, that might be an issue with time, and in my region they're more common, easy to find and cheaper. Detailing on 1/24 is more poor, but still latest models are very well made, eary 90's or 80's buragos and similar compared to them look funny, but still there's something I like in them.:D Interesting videos.
What a good and helpful video! BTW, if you want a cheap and good Autoart, i'd suggest to take a look at the Nissan 350Z roadster and the Lotus Europa S ;)
Hello there , I find your video interesting as I have quite a collection of diecast Kyosho, Maisto, AutoArt, Welly (1:18 and 1:24), Hobby Master, Witty Wings (1:72) and others. The trouble is that an enlarged collection requires lots of display racks and hence, space.
I've got my own collection of a few cars they are mainly maisto, it's good, but soon I will buy an autoart car, but the biggest problem for me is saving up money as I'm only 14, but thanks for the tips, I love your channel :)
can you please tell me of all the maisto models you have reviewed which one is the most detailed of the lot?? i want to start a collection and am looking to buy a few and it will be really helpful :)
I have reviewed quite a few Maistos. For a list I recommend searching on my channel for "maisto." As far as the best goes, it would be a toss up between several Maistos (most are pretty good). If I had to pick one, it would be the 1/18 Ford F-150 Lariat. Runner ups would be the Mercedes Benz CLS, Corvette C6, Porsche Carrera GT and 1/18 Ford Mustang Cobra.
JMCporsche thanks..i have decided to buy Lambo Miura and Lambo Aventador LP700,both of them are 1:18 but which should i buy,Welly or BBurago???? your help will be much appreciated,Thanks
I would highly recommend Welly over Bburago. Bburago used to produce good models, but quality has degraded recently. Welly, on the other hand, continues to produce excellent, well detailed models at similar prices.
It's better than the 3 videos you did before on collecting. Well, you're more experienced now, Jason. Just need to redo some of your videos. Especially since you have your Cybershot Hx 20v. It's gonna be more helpful for us viewers and subscribers
Could u do a review of the Maisto 1:18 1940 Ford Deluxe Police Car? Thinkin about getting one, but I'm not sure how good a model it is. And do u kno any websites where I could get like diecast parts, tires, lights, underbodies, rims, stuff like that, I kno eBay has that stuff but my mom won't put her credit card info for that, I'm 15 btw have a bit of a collection going, trying to find a job to get some AutoArts and Kyosho's, and would u happen to have the Kyosho 1:18 2009 Rolls Royce Ghost or the Kyosho 1:18 Cadillac CTS-V, would like to see reveiw of those, saving up for both of those. Well thnx a lot if u answer back, and btw I'm a huge fan of ur channel, and is there anywhere else you've seen that Ricko Escalade ESV besides eBay? Okai well I probably made this too long that ur not gonna read it all so yea that's it.
I'm glad you enjoy my channel! The models I review are ones that I own or borrow so I don't have access to all. I do not have the models you listed but they are good bets based on my experience. Autoart has never disappointed me before so I can bet that the Ghost is an excellent model. The Ford Deluxe police car looks like it has decent detail from the pictures and the build quality is likely good as well because it is a maisto. I don't have too much experience with kyosho, but I don't think you will be disappointing with the CTS-V either. Just watch the prices, they add up fast. Ebay is really the only place that I know of where you can buy model parts. There is policecarmodels.com which I have purchased from, but they only sell parts for emergency vehicles. Your mom should do what she thinks is best, but I can say that my experience with Ebay has been very positive. It is pretty safe considering that all payment is sent through Paypal's secure server (no credit card information goes to the seller). They also have buyer protection which covers you if the seller fall through on the order. I recommend reading reviews on the seller though.
All i have to say is its better to buy in a shop. One i ordered 2 cars and they both came with wheels and mirrors broken off and some scratches from the box. I lost 2 1.24 scale cars and i could not fix them. I dont buy many cars because their expensive in my country
I collect both 1:18 and 1:24 scale cars. In my 1:18 I have 21 cars so far. In my 1:24 I have at least 10,500 lol I have been collecting 1:24 from when I born LOL
Lego-mijn S.D It probably can if you are willing to unscrew the bottom of the car. Some doors like those seen on Maistos, bburagos, and some Wellys can be fixed by tightening the screw on the hinge on the inside of the car (at the end of the arm connecting the door to the car). If the door feels like it is supposed to be spring loaded, then it isn't so easy. It is possible, but probably not worth fixing at that point because you risk breaking the door off and not being able to get it back on.
Since JMC's video is focused only on 1/18, here is my take on the entire diecast collecting hobby in general where I give tips about other scales too, if you're interested: th-cam.com/video/Pt1AjTB1r2w/w-d-xo.html
Whats the name of the car of the right? That same model car was parked in front of my house today! I thought it was a Shellby but when saw the front capo detail I thought it was a fake one....but it was the same as your model car.
Earscell mcelry those r the ugly ones buy the highly detailed ones that people will not call hot wheels. There's difference between toys and collectibles toys r $10 mostly call hot wheels get $40 ones that people that will enjoy

That's a very good point. I have taken pictures of all my models for insurance purposed in case of a disaster. Hopefully it will never happen.
I’m with you on this. It means more to me to enjoy my hobby rather than investing in it.
As a kid I collected, but never knew how to handle them as I would play rough with them. I found a few of mine the other day. Most are broken but not all.
well they are not toys but when we were kids we didn't know
I fix em up are you willing to sell

@@turtle1906 In my country, 1/24 diecast mostly comes from BBurago, Welly... They cost around 15-20$ each.
Very informative video especially for me since I am a new collector
Jason please can you do a review the black crown victoria?..
Thanks ii waited for this kind of video for collecting cars
1:24 Franklin and Danbury Mints. The limited editions have quadrupled in price since they were introduced. They also are not manufactured anymore.
What a good and helpful video! BTW, if you want a cheap and good Autoart, i'd suggest to take a look at the Nissan 350Z roadster and the Lotus Europa S ;)
Thank you for the tips im gonna start collecting diecast model bikes and cars :D
Great video I was gonna start buying some 1:18 scale cars and I guess I'll see where it goes

1:64 die cast is best for collection, less space, more on good details and tempo designs, and can race in tracks.
Great video!
Very helpful, thanks :)
Thanks man!
where did you get that crown Victoria police interceptor? I really want one.
Love the mustang thats you hv in ds video
thanks dude, helped me;]
I want that Crown Victoria in the back....
Nice tips! I dont leave my models in display cases so i just wash them every 2 weeks or so!
I leave my cars in the transparent packaging
i use a display cabinet the ikea detolf to be specifc
Well, some models are already WAXED from the brand.
You can't wash the turtle wax brand.
@@Dunelms-Own some models are designed to never be removed from the original packaging.
@@arone6298 some are designed to be driven.

cool
Alasdair Carter im 13 ive got heaps over 200 passed down from my dad getting another 150 roughly
I'm trying to start a collection
Never pass up broken cars for cheap prices because sometimes they can be useful for extra parts or even repair at a fraction of the cost.
I get what i like my favorite cars thats all i have in my collection
I have a 1/18 autoart Porsche 918 spyder for $200 highly detailed and it's worth the price i even put LED in the car
What about tomy tomica car collecting for investing?
Where did u get the gt500?
Where I can buy this. What shop? Toy shop or anywherelse?
Just got a shelby collectibles ford gt 40 for my 60th it is very nice

Nope, it is completely stock. But I can see where you are getting that idea, they are almost exactly the same!
