Greenlight BIG NEWS on Diecast Cars and Trucks!

Greenlight is under new management and ownership as it turns out! At the end of 2022, the diecast model manufacturer was purchased by a die-hard model car collector, namely one Vincent Tang, who along with his already established enterprises is dedicated to bringing the quality and manufacturing process to new heights not seen before by the Greenlight brand. In a reported interview, Mr. Tang, a resident of Canada and the UK, originally from Hong Kong, is planning on building many new American models with CAD programming and already we can see in the 2023 release of diecast cars and trucks that the quality control has improved IMMENSELY, with perfect paint jobs on the castings, smooth rolling wheels, highly detailed and accurate whitewall tires and wheel molds, as well as a complete disappearance of the dreaded glue, fingerprints, and grease that plagued the brand for many years since its inception. Where has manufacturing gone to and what has changed? I would LOVE to know, but I don't have all the answers just yet, therefor, stay tuned! And HAPPY HUNTING!
Featured in this Greenlight 1/64 scale diecast review are many older models from series released over a year ago, so be prepared to see exactly what I mean with the changes as compared to the new products I have reviewed on this channel and in this video. Today we look at Hobby Exclusive Fox Body Mustangs, Shell and Gulf oil Special Edition racing and rally cars, old army Jeeps, Hot Pursuit, Norman Rockwell, Hollywood, Dually Drivers, Running On Empty, and Fall Guy collectibles!

It's rare these days to have people at the top of a business actually having a passion for the products that the business makes! This is awesome news about Greenlight.

[@homie-gtv322]

Rare? What the hell are you buying? You're so wrong about that. Mini GT, Pop Race, Hot Wheels, Tarmac Works, Matchbox, Majorette, Bburago, Timothy & Pierre, Error 404, YM Model, Inno 64, Spark/Sparky, PGM, MR Collection, Peako, LCD models, Para64, Kaido House, Auto World, ETC. You must be buying models from the local Mom and Pop discount shop. Models that are so badly made they cost about 4 cents to produce a 10 pack and sell for $0.97.

@@homie-gtv322 I am passionate about diecast cars but I am none too bright so I would stand no chance being a director at Mini GT.

This is great news for Greenlight. The brand deserves better quality and recognition. They already have a large catalogue with lots of good castings. My favorites: The yellow 1969 Boss Mustang, '64 Impala from "Running On Eppty", 1977 Dodge Monaco from the "Fall Guy" and the 1945 Willys Jeep. The 'Starsky and Hutch' set looks interesting too. Thanks for showing these and i hope Greenlight really ups the quality in 2024.

[@MrPmsavage001]

Kinda sad you can have a top 3 cars for a brand. As far as hotwheels go I could never imagine even having top 10. There’s too many that would tie for those spots

[@Krix6426]

I'm happy to know a collector has Greenlight. I hope he can get the 1/24 quality control issues straight. My A-Team Van and Christine Fury both had to go back once and twice and I still had to settle with subpar. It does hurt the heart because I like their designs. Using the screw in stable packaging would be a great help.

[@peterg.bassist]

Greenlight diecast are stunning❤ Some of my favorite 1:64 cars in my big collection are Greenlight.

[@morgancarini1130]

If you ever have free time to travel, definitely should visit Las Vegas around Feb. 29- Mar. 3 for the "Diecast Super Convention". A lot of designers and customizers will be there including Vincent Tang from Greenlight. You can talk to a lot of these designers and of course give feedback and suggestions directly, all super friendly and open minded. I've talk to a few in the past like Tony Karamitsos from Round 2 and Sean Taylor from M2 and give them suggestion I wanted to see. And of course the 24/7 in room trading/selling, Exclusive convention cars, Celebrity meets, tons of fellow collectors, ETC. And there's good Diecast places in Vegas like "House of Cars Las Vegas", hopefully you consider visiting in the future

[@randybock82]

Great news! I hope they continue the Cadillac series. Would like to see them incorporate the Lincolns, Oldsmobile, Buick models of the 60s and 70s. Anything in full size family cars. Their Cadillac and truck models are amazing!

[@wtffor]

I hope so too!

[@Naztalgic]

Wow thank you for the news!!!! cant wait to see what they do

[@briankbender5757]

Awesome finds and recently I've been buying lots of greenlights and thank you for sharing

[@superblindeye1]

It is great to have the CEO of greenlight care so much about their product. I mostly collect NASCAR diecasts, and the quality has been going down for years.

[@willhendriejr5056]

Hi Canada man glad another video is of your collection.Aweome indeed I will send full peg vibes as collectors a longtime.With that have to look out for the two series (Car Cutler,dulley tow truck) take care untile next video Canada man,🇨🇦

[@itachisenpaix3]

This is great news. I can tell the quality has improved a lot. Great model review 😉👍. I can't wait for the dodge trucks to be opened. Thanks for sharing 👏🤩

[@wtffor]

Thanks 👍

[@electrichellion5946]

I’ve thought Greenlight was a nicer looking Diecast model except for the muddled windows up until the past few months. The purchase would explain the clear windows of late. Good news for Greenlight and customers as well. I’m sure Greenlight is a go going forward.

[@bling1634]

That’s great news and the newer ones look good

[@diecastloonie6055]

Great review and great news about greenlight👍👍

[@zeldadiecastracing]

Awesome collection as always bro

[@MrWolfSnack]

Great news to hear, hopefully it will mean better things for Greenlight and they can stop sullying their name as being 'dollar store diecast'

[@garyjust.johnson1436]

2024 is looking good! Great video! Awesome collection!

Thanks for the visit!

How many 1/64 diecast model cars u have ..your collection is tops 🎉

[@MartyTaillon6162]

Awesome haul bro

[@chevroletman007]

when I was younger I always collected matchbox cars from the '60s. but I've always fallen in love with Chevrolet. impala I would love to see the new version of the Impalas from 2015 to 2020 Right now in my collection I have a 10-year anniversary of the Chevrolet Impala Chrome green I would love to know what is the Chrome worth I would love to know what is the Chrome green Impala worth? and how many of the original Chrome Impalas are made?

[@wtffor]

I check ebay for valuation , it is the most up to date based on supply and demand

[@chrisspearline767]

What about the vehicles in the TV series Fantasy Island?

Greenlight. Big. News on. Diecast. Cars. and. Trucks. !

[@raymondmartucci2049]

I am hoping that these people will make the cars better. Green light has had great looking cars, but who puts them together the wheels are sometimes in bad shape. I am looking forward to new bands and cars

[@rwright3395]

Hey. Greenlight has some cool A** cars my friend

[@jamesluke6603]

If I had the money, I would love to buy the Hot Wheels company and have all the cars made in the USA 🇺🇸

[@francisaquiozapanta1726]

nice

[@user-ho3yp3rh4k]

How many models do you have in your collection?

[@wtffor]

Around 60,000 is my estimate (last count was 50,000 several years ago)

[@SteveBrandon]

I don't think it's too likely but it would be great if the new management at Greenlight could start sublicensing Ferrari just so that there would be a brand regularly doing Ferrari in 1:64 that I can buy at normal retail (re: Walmart and Toys R' Us) in Canada again, like the way things were pre-2015 when Mattel still had the Ferrari license.

[@abbiravindhran8424]

Greenlight would never ever in our life get the Ferrari license.

[@SteveBrandon]

@@abbiravindhran8424 I know it's not likely but many other diecast companies are sublicensing Ferrari from master rights holder May Cheong Group so I think it's not impossible Greenlight might do the same under new ownership. It's just very unlikely.

[@wtffor]

It definitely would be cool if they could get the license!

[@abbiravindhran8424]

@@SteveBrandon yeah but they never got any other licensing besides Nissan and they stick to mostly American cars.

[@SteveBrandon]

@@abbiravindhran8424 Also Volkswagen, they do a lot of Volkswagen. Anyway, I remember a press release from when Greenlight got bought out a few months ago saying something to the effect of the new management wanting to take Greenlight in some new directions and European exotics, whether or not that includes sublicensing Ferrari from May Cheong Group, would be an obvious new direction for Greenlight to take.

[@barryg4452]

The headlights are still not authentic.

[@thomasbambrick1162]

Crazy that I'm younger than but have been collecting diecast 8 years longer than Vincent Tang the new owner of GreenLight, must be nice to be born with the silver spoon 😂

[@janickgoudeau6126]

Is Mr. Tang from the famous Wu-Tang clan? Along with method man and Raekwon?

[@wtffor]

I don't know, but highly unlikely! LOL

[@TheKingRacer007]

Well I guess it's great news! If Greenlight get a new owner and a major upgrade in quality we are winners! 🎉 Realy like that yellow Mustang.

[@homie-gtv322]

That's old news.

[@wtffor]

Yes, for some, it is. Thanks!

I’ll be looking forward to your dodge video. I live about an hour away from Outback toys but haven’t been in a while. Might need those exclusives

[@loganMcMorrow232]

[@wtffor]

I would really like to hear more about your thoughts on that, although I don't disagree that I have changed over the last 10 years

@@wtffor the first video i watched from you was the mystery closet dycast model’s with the shell and bp rigs that was 10 year’s ago the 1 6/4 scale trucks i missed those mystery boxes and the funny part is you didn’t make part 2 for the trucks in paper
