Check Out The Biggest Most Expensive A Team Van Model In The World (probably)

[@redfive245]

I love it when a plan comes together….

[@fullsendmountainbiker5844]

As an 18 year old, I watched the whole A-team quite a few years ago. You'd be surprised but many Gen z know of, or have heard of the A-team. I'm a massive model vehicle collector and I do have two 1:64 scale greenlight A-team vans (one clean and one weathered), and I'd like to get my hands on a 1:24 scale greenlight one (only if I can get a good deal on eBay). Greenlight really do some detailed models even at a 1:64 scale. I personally would never spend almost £600 on a model like this (unless I became extremely wealthy), but it's such a nice model I'm sure it will be quite popular with extreme model enthusiasts.

[@Local.hero.1983]

The reason alot of us back in the 80s thought the van was also black above the red stripe was purely down to the lower quality tv sets we were watching it on.

[@KidApoc]

If no one’s mentioned it by now,you’ll be happy to hear that Ramen Toy is making one. Doors open and all. I’ll admit,the one you have here is beautiful.

[@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES]

That’s everything this model should be ! I know that’s a prototype but do you think they’ll put the extra seats and gun cabinets in it ? This one has all that detail and you can’t get to it ! Thanks for sharing that. M

@@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES No problem. I just came upon your video yesterday and subbed. He may or may not have those options covered,but it couldn’t hurt to contact the creator. He’s pretty open to ideas from fans alike and is transparent too. Specially if something’s missing. To please the fans of the controversial/failed Engine of Vengeance Haslab,he ventured in creating the Ramen Racer in black,which can double as the The Ghost rider/Blade/Fast and Furious 68-70 era Charger. He’s even done the General Lee (Ramen Racer Orange) and the canopy for The Mcfarlane 89’ Batmobile. The A-Team van will also have the option to double as a Punisher van with different wheels. He has a few videos on the prototype under the name Bread car. Hope this helps!

[@jamesburr25]

@@BROOKSCOLLECTABLESthere are three versions of the van you can pre order, the top version has the A-Team paint deco, opening rear and side door with two additional seats in the back, and opening font doors it’s scaled for 6 inch figures I believe with an early bird pre order for the top range vehicle of $180 I believe

[@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES]

@@jamesburr25 cool thanks for letting me know!

[@donaldsoncolby5893]

I thought the van was all black too!hmmm...very interesting,never realized the top was gray

[@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES]

Yeh I never spotted it as a kid, it’s a bit like C3 P0’s leg being silver too, it’s not until you look back closely that you spot it in the show, but it’s very prominent in all the models ! Hope you enjoyed the video. M

[@leonelcardenas-sj9fo]

Simply beautiful, I bought one last year without knowing how nice it would be (meant to be for my kid) but once I got it I was so impressed with all the details so......for now is mine until my boy will be ready to know what kind of van is that, f.... love it.👍🏼

[@chrisspearline767]

I also thought watching the show as a kid the van was all black. It makes me wonder if Greenlight has the grey too light cause enough of people think it was all black

[@clintadams8451]

The top was more of a gun metal Grey, not the silver on the models.

[@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES]

That’s how we remember it too as a kid, it’s not till you watch it back that you notice it ! M

[@ibthejoker]

Nice piece for sure, but that price... whew boy! I am waiting for the Ramen version. I already picked up their 1/12 Racer (Charger) which is amazing. Hard to find good 1/12 vehicles with opening features. Thinking of also going with the Bandito (Malibu) from Odd Frog, looks really cool and really affordable. Thanks for the video mate. Cheers

[@SpartanA054Moose]

Fantastic looking model! Now you need a Mr.T action figure to go with it!

[@----.__]

Just buy a Tamiya Lunchbox and paint the body grey/red/black. Then you have an RC A-Team monster truck, and it will cost less than this model. The Lunchbox is still available for around £100 for anyone interested.

[@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES]

That’s good to know thank you !

[@----.__]

@@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES You're welcome mate. The Lunchbox is very, very similar to the A-Team van and being a Tamiya model it's a fun build as always. They've rereleased a lot of their 80's and 90's cars, and they're very reasonably priced. I'm not meaning to rag on the model in this video, I just look at value for money and this isn't it. I bought a 1 series BMW for driving to work and back to save putting miles on my nice car, and that cost only 3x what this model is worth.... food for thought. Great channel by the way. Thanks for making such interesting content.

[@GarethMckittrick1980]

another terrific video I shall be over for a visit in July!

[@ascorbic123]

The square side exhaust pipes are kind of like what NASCAR had for a certain period of time.

[@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES]

It must have been an influence on the design of the van, I’m going to have to look into more of the history of its design, like I said it would still stand up today, it hasn’t really dated at all. Hope you enjoyed the video, thank you for commenting ! M

[@graemerobertson9357]

Great Video Mark, apologies for texting whilst you were filming! 😂😂 I wonder if they may do a Back to the Future DeLorean in that scale !

[@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES]

🤣🤣🤣 your timing was impeccable ! I had to include it, I think the back to the future car in this scale is a magazine part work so your probably looking at big money !

[@James-rn7dx]

The reason everyone thought it was all black is because it was painted a dark Gun mettle color on top. All the replicas paint the top more of a dark silver color but defiantly not as dark as it should be.

[@Si-ew3ff]

Apparently, one of the original 6 vans used for the show is not that far away from Blackpool, in the Cars of The Stars museum in Keswick. I don't know if it's still there, though.

[@Si-ew3ff]

Forget I just said that. It closed in 2011.

[@DSPIC444]

It would definitely warrant the price if it were an rc with all the bells and whistles.

[@al-azimahmed1188]

Thanks for the excellent reviews

[@christopherthornton5548]

Was this ever sold, I love to own one as part of my collection

[@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES]

I do still have one in stock, it’s been a popular model ! I think because of the size and quality of the model ! If your ever in Blackpool, pop in and take a look. Best M

[@jamesbable9367]

Yes,there was a phone in the van

[@Zero_Reaper13]

I like to believe they were amazing shots, not being murderers they missed people on purpose.

[@al-azimahmed1188]

Very disappointed that nothing opens 😢

[@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES]

The cost would be huge to do that in 1:12th scale, saying that if you could remove the top of the van to see the inside that would be a good compromise. Although there is one in development with opening doors at the side and rear ! Hope you enjoyed the video. M

[@belairscents]

Awesome! Great model

[@mlight6275]

tv series van was vlack, same colour scheme as kitt.

[@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES]

I think it was two-tone black and grey but hadn’t realised until years later ! Hope you enjoyed the video ! M

[@mlight6275]

@@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES yup, watched a video bob moseley piece on the van ans it was silver, but appeared as a trick of light, and was often seen as black. i do hoever have an r/c model of the van with opening doors, which plays the theme.

575 dollars and the doors don't open on it....I'm done!!!

[@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES]

I see you’re point ……..but have you ever had any 12th scale models ? I’ve not had many of them in the shop but what seems to happen once they get past 1:18th scale manufacturing problems start to appear, especially with die cast. Doors fall off or hinge’s drop, detail is compromised, there are great toys of this model out there but detailed collectors ones are expensive and few am far between. Again you have a great point with the price, it’s not for everyone, but my aim is that people get to see these items either by video or by visiting the shop to see them in the flesh, so people get to make their own minds up ! I hope you enjoyed the video, thank you for your comment ! M

[@chrisspearline767]

That's crazy the 1/18 doors all open and this doesn't. For what there asking that's a rip-off

[@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES]

I think it’s down to manufacturing, if the made the 1/12 in metal they could have had opening doors, but I can make the model look wrong having to reinforce the hinges. Plus the tooling would be way more expensive, as would the cost of the model. So it’s a compromise, but if your a fan your going to consider it ? Thanks for commenting. M
