I prefer buy this one rather than buy any mattel product no matter which brand no matter which series

[@modelcarshouston]

I wouldn't buy any, period.

[@toprakkurtulan9144]

@@modelcarshouston well I dont buy cuz I love stock and my fav brands are Lambo & Pagani, Time Micro made only LB Aventadors so I just have one 😁 and never bought any Time Micro again 😅

[@smallmodelcollector]

The brand is more miss than hit. I have a nice sakura 911, but their Tumbler Batmobile is so horribly modeled that Hot Wheels did a better job. So many brands slap liveries on the wrong castings (Tarmac Blitz Supra, VIP Impreza rally, MiniGT Stratos) that I now try to check the real car photos when it comes to famous liveries. This looks nothing like the F&F Supra as you noted.

[@modelcarshouston]

We MUST do our due diligence!!

[@simonbakker3088]

I personally have a time micro RWB Porsche 993 in purple. The quality is absolutely awesome and I love the model. It's indeed strange that they don't have any contact support on the package. But I'm not completely sure if I can be enthousiastic about the brand, since my model was a collaboration between Time Micro and A.C Field. But as far as my experience with the brand: absolutely amazing!

[@modelcarshouston]

I've seen the mentality where people have said "it's just a diecast, who cares" not you but people on other social media channels. So to them I say why would you want to buy or even support a brand where it's sole purpose is just to sell casts without any due diligence. You don't know the owners, they never show face and you know these people are hiding so hard hoping someone doesn't come in with massive cease and desist to disrupt their network. At the end of the day it's up to us to do what we think makes the most sense.

[@ivanbima5877]

I think they don't have any contact or social media for one simple reason. They didn't want to be flooded with cease and decist letters. Because they know full well, they had upset countless of people because they didn't bother to ask for permission let alone paying for license to the respective owner of copyrights. Hell, they even "changes name" multiple time just to avoid those letters

[@simonbakker3088]

@@modelcarshouston I absolutely agree with you and I think diecast cars should always be licensed. But for me personally my own one was a little exception given the fact that the model is licensed by RWB

[@rmegaman64]

Alot of collectors usually like to branch out and buy other brands then what's available , so its no surprise that we end up here with brands like these , on the surface level these brands like time micro , street weapon , star-model looks good but with the weird livery and licensing and shady credentials and them charging more then Inno and Tarmac at times they definitely need to do better if the legit brands can do it right so can they. Its a shame because the model themselves are excellent.

[@modelcarshouston]

Exactly, it's like buying off TEMU when you can just wait or get the real deal.

[@Diecastcieleman]

i realy wanted but ff supra, which one is better tomica premium or hw premium ( in my country hw premium supra prime = 3x tomica) or anyone orher brand in 1/64

[@eefm99]

I'm not a huge fan of the brand, but I do buy some models that I consider good: - Bugatti Divo (which is actually license under Bburago) - Koenigsegg One:1 (under TPC brand) - Mazda RX-7 Initial D, the casting is accurate to the anime - Mazda RX-7 Veilside (before we only had the Peako64 and the Tomica Premium Unlimited) - Lamborghini Aventador LBWK - Lamborghini Aventador GT EVO But seriously, the rest of their models I wouldn't even think of buying them, ugly liveries, inaccurate castings, or both!

[@dugspalma4049]

I have one Time Micro Model, befause I was curious and an idiot. I didn’t know back then they were releasing unlicensed products. I bought one because it came with an accessory, a human figure and a bike. When I knew that they weren’t, and it’s not even goddamn rolling, I stopped my fascination with the brand.

I would like to see Inno, Tarmac or IG start doing movie cars. Hot Wheels you can't because of the scalping and I would never pay the ridiculous prices they are asking for them.

[@L.Rajakumar]

And also the lack of details on them. Since I realised the lack of side mirrors, it had always bothered me. Also they have the same wheels designs over and over again.

[@19Newby81]

@@L.Rajakumar it's funny that you mentioned the detail on the hot wheels. People are paying $1000cad+ for the RLC R34's. I have had the argument numerous times that the details (opening hood, rolling wheels) don't matter when they stay sealed. At least the Inno, IG and Tarmac you can put them back in a case.

[@modelcarshouston]

I'm sure they will eventually. It's a big world so plenty of ground to cover and to be honest, there's no rush to do it. People sometimes buy into these brands because "no one else makes it" well then wait. Why bother with some BS just to say you have one? Lol

[@19Newby81]

@@modelcarshouston as soon as I saw it I hated it. Not accurate at all. Just slap a waterslide decal on the Orange Supra from Hobby Japan and it will look better.

[@2013hwcamaro]

You miss the point, even the scalper price on a Hot Wheels licensed product is less than or the same cost of a regularly priced unlicensed Time Micro car. How does that make sense? Would you call Time Micro the scalper since they sell their cars for $30 retail? If Hot Wheels can sell a licensed car for $7 retail and $20-$30 scalper price, Time Micro should be half that.

[@gabriellim1]

It is true that TM does not license their castings and that is not a great recreation of the actual MKIV Supra that paul walker drove in the movies, though compared to the offerings of the fnf supra from Hot Wheels or Jada - the details on the time micro are excellent. Any way you cut it TM's details are on par with Inno/Tarmac/Minigt/kyosho/LCD. Though I completely understand why you would not want to promote TM at all considering their disregard for licensing and that they steal a lot of their molds, but to play devil's advocate they do look good for what they are.

[@modelcarshouston]

Details are moot if the casting isn't even legit. Lol

[@fiveseven695]

Put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig. Understand, all of these incorrect details only exist to trick people into thinking they're getting a good value for the money. TM cost more than Inno but Inno is actually paying multiple companies to make their products. Also with liscenced stuff you may get less detail from time to time, but at least what's their is accurate and has the blessing and oversight of the patent company. Finally, collectability: as a collector you may not care, but you just spent $20-30 on something that a real car person or collector would laugh at. These are not the cars that hold our gain value. With this model they took something they've already done and added new paint and graphics. This saves them ridiculous amounts of money that should've been spent to recreate a faithful reproduction. Don't fall for this stuff, they're laughing at you.

[@Ci3nne]

Hey buddy, I never saw you talking about LCD models. They license models and for many, me included, is the best 1/64 diecast right now. You won't believe the details the Senna GTR has.

[@modelcarshouston]

Yeah I made a lot of these videos BEFORE LCD models gained traction.

[@modelcarshouston]

I just briefly mentioned some brands in this video that came to mind.

[@georgenvb79]

Hello . Nice video and useful informations . I have a question about brands which have license. Why inno64 which makes many r34 why the headlights are white ? The real headlights is black ,smoke inside. Why happens that and why take the ok to product with license wrong headlights?Time micro which hasn't license is the only brand diecast with right headlights. (Sorry for my bad English 🙂 )

[@Aa-Sadam]

Time Micro is dope :)

[@peelingpeely2524]

This brand is actually pretty good in quality also i love this diecast brand better than Inno64 for me cz they can be moved (wheels)

[@modelcarshouston]

Quality is not the issue they come out of the same factories as any other brand.

[@thealifrs4_463]

how about the 34R with hood struts from the same brand?

[@modelcarshouston]

Same. They've release some solid color versions like Millennium Jade but then they resort to nonsense stuff as they typically do. For example, the latest is the R34 with Gulf livery.... hahahah

[@Aznprideleslie]

I highly doubt any of the big brands like MiniGT, Inno64, Tarmac Works would make Ferraris like: 488 pista , F8, F40 etc. So i dont see why we cant go look at other non license products for other car brands that would have a tough time getting license for.

[@modelcarshouston]

Ferrari is very strict about their licenses for this very reason. Also, Tarmac Works has offered most of those Ferraris already under collaboration with IXO Models. I could also frame it in another sense. Do we really need those model cars anyway just because some random brand came out with it? Just because it was created doesn't mean we need it. You only think you need it because some no name brand came out with it. Else the thought of it wouldn't exist. If I saw the perfect model car I wanted tomorrow and Time Micro made it, I wouldn't get it. I'd wait for the right brands to make it or not care at all.

[@Aznprideleslie]

@modelcarshouston I disagree. I collect models because I like the car, not because non license makers make it. My collection right now only consists from MiniGT, Inno64 and Tarmack Works. I'm sure there are tons of Ferrari fans out there that wish the mainstream brands would make their favourite ferrari model too, but has to go towards these non licensed brands for that reason. Just my opinion

[@Tom_Hadler]

​@@Aznprideleslie I think he is a copyright lawyer or something. Or just a liar. I don't care if it's licensed, I just want a good value and quality model (although for me 43rd scale)

[@pfelipeprog7094]

​@@modelcarshouston Come on! Tarmac is the worst of all the top brands, got 3 models all of them returned, full of chips, glue mistakes, paint errors, glass scratched, a total mess. I also collect in 1/43 I can tell you IXO is by far the worst of the worst, I got the IXO GT40 in 1/43, and I got the same GT40 in Zoom 1/64 #9, no license, but the paint job is so professional in an smaller model. Tarmac + IXO is the worst with the worst. Let's talk 1/64 from worse to better: Mini GT is the most basic but better than Tarmac, LCD way better, Pop Race every day doing something Tarmac will not be able to do ever, CM no license but the paint job is so good way superior to any Tarmac and wheels change great feature, Time Micro the R34 is so good opening hood, Inno64 one of the greatest and PGM the winner no contender even close, Tarmac sucks so bad compared with all the other brands

[@Aa-Sadam]

Is this going to be in the KZbin Deals? You know it'll be snatched faster than bruce lee inno lol!!

[@modelcarshouston]

Hahahaahahahahahaha

[@knightcyclist1245]

I'm a fan of Liberty Walk... That diecast looks better than the one shown in the movie "Fast & Furious" in my point of view, but the only thing that sucks in that particular model is the way the rims are designed. They should've labeled it "Rays" to at least make up for the unbranded wheels that look way more out of place.

[@gabrielsebastian8444]

I mean. I see how HKM, Time Micro, and all the others make some good looking unlicensed products. They're literally unlicensed so even if they had more details compared to other licensed brands, i'd still go for stuff like tarmac works, inno64, or hobby japan. Because the price is about the same anyways and you'd expect a lot more from that much money spent on an unlicensed product

[@modelcarshouston]

Some people are in a state of mind of getting this stuff because "why not" but, to me anyway, I wouldn't even touch it with a ten foot pole. Has nothing to do with supporting other brands but just the authenticity and transparency of things bothers me.

[@valconir1619]

They are from the same OEM factories that is producing for other bigger brands.

[@2013hwcamaro]

I don't understand why they would charge so much to sell an unlicensed product. They didn't pay the auto maker or motion picture studio for the rights to use that car. So they're just pocketing the extra profit. Would you buy a "Transforming Robot" for the same price as a real Transformer? Time Micro cars are definitely nice but they are "knockoffs" and they should sell at "knockoff prices"

Quality has something to do with licensing. I think people get confused a lot with the main point. "It doesn't have a license, but it looks better than the licensed brands." That's not what drives licensing. China uses the same manufacturing plants, share CAD files, and everything that goes on with why there exists such a gallery of unknown brands.

Thank you for pointing out this brand to me! Been looking for a good brand and found one! Been collecting mostly Mini GT, Tomica Vintage Neo, Tarmac Works, and POP Race, and this looks like a great addition to the collection!I don't care about licensing at all. Some people don't really get into all that. Buy what you love. If it ain't your cup of tea, no one is forcing you to buy it. I have bought multiple die cast brands, ranging from the usual 1/64 I have mentioned to Bburagos, BBRModels, Autoart etc (1:18) and I'm all for this. If this means that it will "threaten" and make the larger companies do better, so be it. Hopefully this make the bigger companies with licensing do better, because so far these past couple of years we have been getting poopy releases.

[@modelcarshouston]

The larger companies don't even compete with these nonsense brands on the simple fact that they don't even license. That was easy.... lol

[@IronMarvelDirections]

@modelcarshouston But they do compete, don't they? Because it takes up a market share. These brands clearly sell. Someone could have bought a Hot Wheel or an Inno64 etc and yet they decide to buy this? That's taking up market share. It's great to shake up the market. More competitors. The better. It means that the bigger brands need to up the ante and either A. go with lower pricing or B. Improve quality. Last thing we want is a monopoly. That's where these brands come in. To challenge the system. To give it the middle finger. More brands. More competition. More improvement.

That looks shockingly BAD!!!!!!!

[@ThanhLai5]

Since I love brands like Mini GT, Tarmac, Inno64 so much, I can't take brands without licenses seriously. It doesn't matter how pretty their models are, its' still a big NO to me when they're unlicensed. Not to mention, they've put out some "Frankenstein" models that have unrealistic mix between brands and liveries. Unfortunately, it seems like I'm in a minority when it comes to licensed vs. unlicensed.

1000%

Focusing only on scale model companies that do obtain licensing also automatically gives you less choices, which means there's less to buy and more money to save for future models should any of them happen to be your favourite.
