Diecast Car Museum Update - Sam's Salvage Yard CLEARED OUT

After much consideration and several days of sorting, cleaning, and moving diecast cars, the Hot Wheels Room and Diecast Museum receive a big change. Sam's Salvage Yard (the Junkyard Diorama) gets emptied of nearly all of the vehicles that were parked there, about 300 or so, over the last two years. Join me for the mission, the operation, the wonderful task of looking at awesome 1/64 scale diecast toys - everything from tractors, to RV's, to big old farm trucks, vintage cars, pickups, vans, and so much more!

d da da dah daah daahhhh? WHAT THE HECK?! WOWZERS! Now that is a collection.

[@andrewfredrick7017]

[@joep4235]

Awesome !! Weird seeing the junkyard naked though 😀

[@pontiaccrest]

1 million nice diecast!

[@zeldadiecastracing]

Awesome collection bro

[@ilovechevysmallblocks]

awesome video, thank you for the uploads

[@ifradtarvez578]

I love your videos!

[@Ifeelbad4yason]

I think displaying the premiums is a good move

[@tontonsreview2303]

The best channel on KZbin! I felt like I had a large collection of die-cast until I see this video. 😂

[@HHh-ej4rl]

I've bought quite a few Plano boxes thanks to your reviews.

[@hotwheelsshowcase]

Amazing showcasing! I’m waiting for 2023 year review of Hot Wheels too. Stay blessed have a great day

[@jima1924]

I can never get bored watching your vedios and the museum 😎👍

[@brett6626]

You should find a way, to build a train set around your salvage yard. :)

[@KurbzGarage]

Those Patina, Garage Find, Works in Progress cars are so awesome perfect for the junk yard

[@electrichellion5946]

That’s a jaw dropping amount of Johnny Lightnings. And a fifteen hour shift of moving diecast is hours ahead of whatever method I happen to be using that day. Love the planning that goes into the display and we don’t notice the spots that are missed by missing cars in a series. Well most of us don’t notice.

[@samace22]

Awesome collection you have congrats.👍

[@Rock-On-Ron]

Awesome collection man, with that amount of die cast car collection you'll never get bored, just focusing on one model would feel like seeing something new every time.

[@Andrew-BDK]

Great vid. Thanks

[@geoffersongeofferies477]

What?! Sam’s been evicted?! Condos? Don’t tell me condos!

[@liamgaming2504]

[@user-es7gu2cc1u]

I'm a big fan of you and love your videos please keep making more

[@NitrousDiecast]

Great collection!

[@kevincollins8620]

Id die laughing if the Gucci Cadillac was sitting in the Junk yard. I always see soo many cars I own in your collection I noticed Hello kitty on the wall in your premium wall

[@mattmatty4670]

Cool. Boys n their toys. Im into 1/76 scale corgi trucks right now. Check em out. Cheers

[@briankbender5757]

You got a great collection no matter what you do it will look great I can't wait until I get my bigger room to do more with my collection

[@jesusdiecast]

Espectacular colección ❤❤

[@sirenhead8767]

26:38 the junk yard looks so weird with no cars on it. I'm going to miss the old junk yard.

[@alwaysabeliever108]

Looks like as with most of us space is at a premium ! Good use of every square inch .

[@druediecastplusjeter1892]

I need to set up a Diorama w/stores, houses, and at the edge of town my Junk yard. Really, there is no room at this point. I really miss my finished basement back in Utah. Now, in Myrtle Beach, SC.

[@mammyrammer4209]

11:45 I have boxes of " temporary measure " stored for a while now.

[@TheKingRacer007]

I think you should keep only the patina/rusted cars in the junkyard. That would be cooler that way! Displaying the premium is also a good move.

[@wtffor]

That's the plan! There are more and more Patina and rusted cars being made by the premium diecast auto makers, and I would like to put customs in as well. Shiny cars really don't belong in a junk yard after all :)

[@tortoisetom1]

Beautiful collection!!I love watching your collection grow!Been a long time sub,you have motivated myself and alot of others around the World.

[@wtffor]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@cvdiecast]

Cool video! Inspired me to start working on organizing my hobby room😂

[@wtffor]

Go for it!

[@jasonbrown4239]

U need the Lionel hot wheels train set to go around the old cars

[@flare9597]

Love your collection wish i was born earlier and knew about this to actually collect such amazing looking vehicles. Most Vehicles i have i wish were much newer and better looking but my area does not sell these types of cars

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

I miss the junkyard already . wow , I am sure I am not the only junk yard fan who is down in the dumps today .

[@wtffor]

The junkyard is a great place for me to display cars and trucks and unfortunately it had become so full that no more cars could be added. This is a chance for an improvement and more fun things to happen here. Please don't be sad, it will always ultimately be a junk yard and only get better with time as more junky vehicles get parked here, and improvements are made to the scenery and layout. Thanks for your input my friend!

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

I am all good , enjoy your videos and cars all the time. Be safe . Mike

[@mexwellcamodocat]

looks amazing now not as good as before but im planning of that when im older

[@petewrxy2578]

I like your new setup great idea with the premium hotwheels yeah I agreed display your best models I display my best model cars I wish I had the room and space like you I always change up my setup and move cars here and there Hope u do something new and exciting with Sam salvage yard I love this vid like always

[@kennybacchus1488]

Diecast car. Museum. Update. Sam s salvage. Yard. Cleared. Out

[@TheLTD_]

Old premium cars. You talking about Garage cars. Mix them in with the car culture.

[@modelrestorations]

Just found you and subd. I really really like the junk yard. Amazing collection!

[@wtffor]

Thanks, and welcome!

[@newbeetle1378]

If you hadn't been able to sort them by color, it would look as intended and you wouldn't have been able to. Great collection, there are a few German models missing like from the Siku collection or from the French manufacturer Majorette like Norev, which are also available in the same scale.🙂

[@jjMcCartan9686]

All crushed lol ,new walmart on site 2025 😂😂

Definitely need more 30 minute vids

Million dollar diecast

[@davecolvin310]

Knew it wouldn't be long before the EPA showed up and made you clean up.they will try and shut you down.hopefully no ground water has been contaminated.hefty fines.

[@wtffor]

Time to bring in the EcoLab team for an inspection!

[@DieselSgrass]

My man..great video. I am not sure what car you showed, but Chevrolet didn't make the Cordoba. That is a Chrysler. Unless I heard wrong. Maybe it's the Malibu Laguna or Chevelle Thanks for the share

[@wtffor]

You are correct, thank you! Chrysler Cordoba not Chevy

[@evanstols3049]

Nice improvements 👍😁 a lot of work! Maybe an idea to move the lego upstairs. You still have too many cars which are placed in plastic containers, it's too bad for not showing them in the museum. Where the lego table is now, is actually a huge space you can use for showing all those beautiful cars. Good luck with all that work. What are you going to do with the junkjard? Greets from Holland

[@wtffor]

Thanks for the ideas! If I had more room upstairs I would move the Lego, but I am trying to keep my living space free of toys so as not to end up with a place resembling the 40-year-old virg** LOL

[@evanstols3049]

Whahahahaha....ok..good point👍👍 have a nice weekend!

[@sportsfan3168]

Is it safe to say you’re over 1 million pieces in your collection now?

[@Viscalis]

I wouldn’t say it’s that high by looking back at his collection over the years i’m 100% he has a shot at breaking the record for most Hot Wheels if he applied for it. My estimate is between 6k-15k cars.

[@sportsfan3168]

@@Viscalis he should contact Guinness world record. Seriously I think he may have the world record for not only the most, but well taken care of collection out there

[@Viscalis]

@@ballplayer1799The record is held by Mike Zarnock, a few KZbinr, who has roughly 30k cars. This is not only individuals, not companies / businesses.

[@alexhood9438]

the plano case is genius 16 dollars to hold 24 cars on the wall!

[@Reds_Scrapyard]

Did Zoning and Code Enforcement finally go after Sam's salvage?

[@wtffor]

It was overdue! LOL

[@radar468]

👍🏼

[@davidneesam2626]

Another brilliant video. Didn't realise how large the collection was. Which model Plano case do you display the Greenlight in? Cheers

[@wtffor]

Plano 5324, 24 compartment storage

[@twiggs24]

Wow

[@jonathanhmm3470]

New retirements plan ? lol 😆

[@ChrisMantz]

Could you say for sure which one of those 1:64 brands is the most accurate in scale size between vehicles and which brand is closer to 1:50 scale?

[@francispalmer9737]

It's been a while for me not seeing your vids but man it would make me dizzy walking around your wonderful collection. I wonder what you have hidden away in the dark recesses of your rooms, do you even know? cheers wtffor

[@wtffor]

More and more cars, boxes and boxes filled with them. I have labeled all of them for easier discovery, however they are buried several boxes deep in areas. Oh and there area a few spiders hanging out beyond that too... LOL

[@markblue5375]

Where did you get the display cases on the wall ?

[@wacoblaze]

Which tackle boxes are you using for your loose cars? Ones ive seen see to have weird plastic ribs on them or really cloudy plastic where you cant see them

[@wtffor]

I use the 24 compartment Plano 5324 cases

[@rickystevens6389]

Can anyone tell me where to get those Plano cases at ? Thanks

[@hwhunter3589]

Where do u get your single sided plano boxes I saw on the floor!! Also it looked like they were solid inside instead of removable dividers can u clarify this also?? Thanx very much ahead of time!! Great video new sub here!!!

[@wtffor]

Yes those are the Plano 5324 24 compartment cases with fixed dividers. I pop the lids off them sometimes because they clip on and off easily. Thanks for subscribing and for your question!

[@oryps2488]

Nice museum ! how do you clean the diorama ?

[@wtffor]

Mostly by using compressed air in computer cleaner cans

[@mongrelmachines]

Where did the original cars go? Are they displayed somewhere else now or stored?

[@wtffor]

They have been sorted chronologically and put into Plano case storage for the time being, until the museum grows to accommodate them all, along with the thousands more Hot Wheels 2004 to present that are also in long-term Plano case and tote storage in the Over-Flow Room.

[@PileofBrass]

Do you have a lot of duplicates ? That's a LOT of cars.

[@rc67die-castcollector]

Your collection is so impressive! I know I have asked you before. And think at one time you said you had about 70k or so. What would you say your collection is up to now?

[@wtffor]

Honestly I don't know, but I would not be surprised to find out it definitely has surpassed 60,000 units by now

[@rc67die-castcollector]

@@wtffor Very cool!! Looking forward to more

[@dudesean21]

Hey how much would you want for the Big trucks and stuff your not used anymore

[@afoolandhismoneychannel]

Tell me that you're not married without telling me that you're not married... 😅 ... seriously though, amazing collection. 🤩

[@ForzaJeBaY]

Where do you find your storage ? Cannot find a good solution like yours on the web…

[@wtffor]

Amazon sells the Plano 5324 storage cases.

[@RAPIDNISMO]

Hey mate i had a brief side note, do you get involved in or with anything to do with RLC / similsr things to rlc in thr mattek range?

[@wtffor]

I have not collected RLC cars consistently, and only have a few purchased over the years

[@RAPIDNISMO]

@@wtffor I've only got the one, a Jag e type which was a gift from twyce diecast, so far absolutely loving it

[@timhartigan3260]

So where are the mainlines that were on the wall?

[@wtffor]

They have been sorted and stored in other Plano Cases not on the wall. There are literally stacks of them in my Over-Flow Room, along with all the other cars that have yet to see the display wall (Hot Wheels 2004 to present)

[@mattcarter8433]

What are those plastic case you used for your hot wheels

[@wtffor]

They are made by plano, model number 5324 24 compartment case

Do you have a lancia beta HPE?

[@wtffor]

You must be living under a rock in a dark cave if you think buying old cars that few parents would want there child handling is "selfish" of me and other collectors, LMAO. Parents buy new toys for there kids so that they don't potentially get lead poisoning, and most of all, so that the kids have something shiny new and fun to play with, not old dirty and broken! Congrats you earned most ridiculous comment of the week award.
