Mostly gems, in my experience. I have unlicensed models that are nicer than anything licensed I’ve ever seen.

[@marcbaur677]

The first edition of this Master casting was a Porsche B32, a VW T3 modiefied by Porsche with Suspension , Brakesystem and a 3.6 Porsche 911 engine and many other parts from Porsche, in the title of the car Porsche is the manufactor, not Volkswagen. Maybe Master has to change it from Porsche to Volkswagen. Master also has a T3 Offroad Version with double round headlights. 🙂

[@rorroryusoul]

Very cool castings championdjk

[@rickedcase1]

The VW T3 with the Porsche badge is correct they were converted into Porsche spec T3s

[@Paulthediecastguy]

Very nice pieces. Thank you for sharing.

[@starrdogchamp1]

Who cares about licensing, they're hot! I order all the time!

[@choichi-m1z]

I need that VW VAN. NICE!

[@volentmass]

the Vanagan is a sweet limmited run "Porsche B32" the happenings of just cause they could.

[@daneself858]

Nice thanks for sharing 👍😎

[@brothersofgunnaz]

That VW bus is fantastic it’s like the B32! Also I like the Porsche customisation, but the only thing I dislike about that is, where the heck do you put the spare parts?

[@JAGoldenberg]

As I've said a few times we need a full length blooper video of you opening packages, removing cars from bases, putting models together, exchanging parts, etc. 😂😂😂😂

[@Rickenbacker451]

I just looked ip the pricing, for only 1:64 and no licence they are still pretty expensive.

[@GRom86]

I like it. These models are definitely better than hot wheels.

[@santy_haesC]

Cualquier cosa es mejor que hot wheels w

[@GRom86]

@@santy_haesC Well not anything. But mostly yes.

[@JaimeHermione]

Thanks for the breakdown! I have a quick question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?

[@Championdjk]

Sorry I'm not well versed in crypto

[@JohnSTF72]

Interesting models, i like the turquoise Countach, Master's VW T3 (probably the only T3 out there with a Porsche logo on the back, LoL) and CM's Porsche 993 with its interchangable wheels and rear spoiler. These look more like gems rather than flimsy fakes so far. Thanks for showing these.

[@possibly8180]

It's an actual "Porsche" though. Look up the B32's history.

[@traviswalker8933]

Licesning is just a fad to charge more from the customer these days by the diecast brands for mediocre details. There are great licensed brands and then there are brands who havent changed much for quite a long time while citing the main reaosn for the hefty prices as the licensing fee.

[@JAGoldenberg]

I have several high end Master models. Probably all Porsches as you know I buy every single Porsche release by anyone.

[@simonscarstuff2910]

I like how they get away with unlicensed casts by doing tuned versions like the T3 & 993. Reminds me of when Hot Wheels was adding "custom" to not have to license their casts. Love that VW, B&B made T4, T5 & T6 versions with Porsche swaps, hopefully Master does those too.

[@Championdjk]

They get away with it because they are made and distributed in China.

[@lulucar98]

Interesting topic! Do you think the quality matches the price, or are they more about the look?

[@Championdjk]

Some yes and some no. If you look at my playlist for Premium and Import diecast. You will find a lot more videos featuring models like these

[@raedammari2439]

The vw transporter was really porsche collaboration with vw , they put the the 911 3.2 boxer aircooled engine and,pordche brakes as well black fucus wheels. They made a handful as a support for the porsche teams. Many aftermarket builders made swaps like that.😊 As for the yellow porsche 993 it is a custom which porsche don't approve , must be a genuine porsche product 😉.

[@kevinkerlin5603]

They are nice looking

[@marleys.diecast]

Isn’t the 993 a RUF?

[@Championdjk]

I suppose it could be.

[@ryanc00p3r3]

probably the only Gems you miss is the DCM 1:64 Mercedes Benz 190E A$AP Rocky and the iconic, BMW M3 (E46) GTR NFS Most Wanted Livery. those two gems.

[@Championdjk]

I definitely have been eying the 190E

[@angelolim9307]

Is that 1 64 scale?

[@Championdjk]

Yes

[@JAGoldenberg]

I knew you would like the CM Model. I'll have to send you a pic of the ultra rare chase I have. I seem to think if it's RWB or LBWK these companies don't need to license since they are theoretically no longer Porsches or Ferraris though some companies still do license.

[@Championdjk]

They still should be licensed by either RWB or LBWK

[@JAGoldenberg]

@ really either Inno or Tarmac when they do the LBWK Ferraris is just LBWK 308 cause it's not really a Ferrari anymore so I thought perhaps same with RWB. Of course I surely am no licensing expert by any means.

[@Vifam7]

I have that blue Countach as well. As you said in the video, it's a decent model. Not bad, not great. Still waiting for maker out there to do a perfect 1/64 Countach.

[@qwerty975]

You have Tomica Limited Vintage

[@Championdjk]

I have example of both Countach models that they did. The mistake that they made was trying to pull off the opening doors.

[@Vifam7]

@@Championdjk Exactly. Here's hoping that when TLVN gets to the LP400S/500S Countach, they develop a casting sans the opening scissor doors feature.

[@jodyw-gk4ey]

i actually prefer non licensed :) from struggling with packaging to struggling with wheels i like this new development

[@Championdjk]

hahahahhahaha

[@bobbyjones2112]

The Porsche is the best out of all of them, and then the Lambo’s of course!🚗

[@archan_ghosh]

FY makes models which are open domain you don't explicitly need a license for. CM has Porsche License but not RWB hence it says Widebody and not RWB.

[@Championdjk]

Well this Porsche is not licensed by either Porsche or RWB. I would doubt that the Countach is open domain.... but I guess anything is open domain in China

[@archan_ghosh]

@Championdjk not sure about the porsche, because CM usually has license but can be wrong. Countach is very old. If you FY lineup except the enzo most cars fall under open domain as they are old. Same tactics as GFCC

[@lamar2209]

How much for these?

[@Championdjk]

Depends on where you can get them. The price ranges quite a bit. I purchased the lambos and the VW from Ali Express

[@anthonybollini]

Vw transporter 2 in flat -6 chase car for testing !

[@godfatherofcinema]

i'll stay with mini gt

[@abbiravindhran8424]

Unlicensed Gems

[@ericwilliams2619]

I like the yellow sports car especially the interchangeable wing and wheels 👍🏻✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

[@marlonrvlogs]

I pretty sure those are licensed those die-casts have licensed brand names like VW, lamborghini and Porsche.👌🏻 In my point of view a unlicensed diecast is a diecast without licenses no real logo's no brand names made out cheap plastic is always sold in 1 cent stores or on funfairs.🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Championdjk]

Unlicensed means that they made the model without the carmakers licensing. For instance they had no permission from Lamborghini to make those Countach’s

[@blinddiecast]

Are these models in store? Have never seen a damn model like this at Ollies, nothing but Chinese crap and greenlight pieces that no one wants.

[@Championdjk]

Yeah you are never going to find this stuff at Ollie’s

[@dimmuborgir4804]

If you cut off that centre protruding screw hole on the underside then it will probably roll.

[@brapmobile4868]

The CM pagani utopia also have the protruding hole issue.

[@GRom86]

I like it. These models are definitely better than hot wheels.
