I was born in 1970 and have an uncle 4 years older...we had 90% of the car model kits you have in this collection, i still have some of the boxed kits in my collection, very cool Andy!

[@guylo88]

Andy's Hobby Empire for sure! This was incredible to look at!

[@modelrailroader5619]

Andy…you officially blew my mind with that unboxing! What a great haul!

[@chrisandjodiehager9046]

Andy, Have you considered sponsoring any YT content creators? Put some of these vintage kits in the hands of capable builders who will document the builds and shamelessly plug your store while doing it?

[@feanor311]

The boxes alone on those old kits are amazing. Nice haul! I hope you find good homes for them all!

[@theintake8961]

That's cool as long as you keep Luka Cee away! Last time he bought all of the 66' flip nose and I haven't seen him build one! I'll be waiting to get a shot at a few. Thanks Andy! Oh yeah and Luka 😉👍

[@CollectorsProffessional]

The wet dream of every car kit collector! I started collecting 2010.... And I got now over 1000.... Although I'm kinda jealous! Thx for sharing.😊

[@Musicreach101]

Problem with this hobby is the heavily inflated pricing.. tablespoon of paint thinner $4.99, Home Depot 2 litres of thinner $2.99..

A truly amazing collection of classic plastic model kits! Very entertaining!

[@pinkfrosting5580]

Great collection you have acquired. Thanks for posting!

[@garylawless3608]

I’m not a car guy, but I noticed a Monogram ‘L’ill Coffin’ in there and I built that model when I was about 16yo. I am now 71 so that is how old that kit is. I remember I made a slot car out of it back when the big tracks were around here in Australia, and if I remember correctly, I trashed it in the first race. Good times, and a great collection Andy.

[@ReeseTimm]

Good decision NOT to sell these through your online store. Not only would it be a hassle to pick the order, but verifying each kit is complete and up to the quality you sell at AndysHHQ would take a lot of time and cost a lot of money. Better to sell them in person where the buyer can inspect the kit for themselves. I recently purchased some kits from a dubious online store located in Utah where the retailer had obviously purchased the kits from someone's collection and many parts were missing. It would have been OK if they were listed as 'used' or such, but no indication. Contacted the owner to let them know and never heard a word back about it. 'Fool me once'... Good luck with the collection. Glad to see so many kits available to the model community again. 👍

[@BOABModels]

Woah - and I thought my stash of 45+ car kits was too much! We don't get so many of the US kits in Europe so I recognise very few of these as ones I have or have built. Very cool collection.

[@CollectorsProffessional]

Unfortunately True... I got a quite small collection compared to that. Where u from?

[@rayvestrayvene5376]

Look at all the engineering and plastic die work it took to create these kits. Nice collection Andy.

[@horusak4232]

O.M.G.! What a collection! Really envy you :)

[@bigdaddyhobbies]

Score!! Nice come up. Congratulations Andy

[@jeffstringer5040]

Those will make someone's day! I started out with cars (in the 60's) before getting into military kits. My car kits were so old they didn't have chrome parts OR black vinyl tires. This is an awesome collection for sure.

[@hawaiiancane1]

Amazing collection! Congratulations!

[@modelrestorations]

Thanks for sharing! What an amazing collection.

[@marceloquiroga7221]

Yheaa !!, Great collection Andy, seeing all that stuff is wonderful, thanks for sharing, congratulations!

[@lonthrall5613]

My wonderful wife needs to see this! My collection might fill ten of those Home Depot boxes, but this collection is the largest I've seen! I hope to make a big dent in my collection when I actually retire, and lately I keep the shrink on now to add value for resale.

[@mullins6429]

Thanks Andy, what an amazing collection. I’ve never seen anything like it. Loved the AMT accessories kits and that Rambler stock car. Unreal.

[@catlady8324]

2:58 I was going to say, Luka Cee is going to go crazy over all the car kits! He is a great asset to the hobby, especially locally! 🌵

[@maxbrandt6]

Here, here!

Amazing collection. I have seen and remember some of those kits. Thank you for sharing, would like to see some more.

Awesome collection of kits. Jo-Han and old smp/amt are my favorites. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, that one purchase alone is more then the inventory of most hobby stores. Have fun and good luck to the customers that find that rare kit you’ve been looking for.

[@htc4898]

WOW ! Thank you !

id love that motorcraft thunderbird kit, great video andy! good luck selling most of it !

If only I could convince my wife to take a vacation to Arizona, tomorrow.

[@Vmssupplies]

Good one! 😁

[@maxbrandt6]

That is an amazing stash of kits!! We lost a great hobby shop in Sebastian, FL recently and that shop and the owner will be greatly missed. Riverside Hobbies was a third of your store, Andy but he had many different kits that went from floor to ceiling and lots of supplies too! It was so much better than Hobby Lobby but sadly the owner passed away and his wife retired and with no one else to run the place, it's gone. Now, I think I might have to book a trip out west to find a good hobby shop and you could use the business!!

[@alokbalsekar]

Amazing haul, Andy!!! I wish I had a job at Andy's Hobby Headquarters.

[@pierredeman66]

Wow. Wow. A nice collection. I already saw a few models that I had built, in my younger years. 🙂

[@nitrorrat8190]

Awesome stuff

Huge collection!!

[@maevethefox5912]

Gosh, I haven't done car kits in ages, but I recognize a couple of these as kits that got me into building models in the first place ages and ages ago. Well, 30 years, probably not that many ages for some folks reading this =P

[@ruckusrodkustom8140]

Thx Andy! I’ll stop in when I come to Glendale in June. Hopefully there will be some good stuff left

[@robertbernahliii6495]

Damn Andy, you won the model kit lottery. 🤣🤣👍 I really wish I was local to you.

[@CycolacFan]

I saw an original issue AMT ‘59 Buick and the A100 Touch Tone Terror but most of the kits you’ve shown are 1980s and later including all the Jo-Hans. Still desirable pieces though. I’m most worried though about the numbers, if that’s 3000 kits I’m scared to know just how many I must currently own… 😂

[@brandonlemmon]

Built that AMT Dodge Viper RT/10 as a kid. Haven't thought of that in years! Nice haul

[@martiniv8924]

[@birdsoup777]

How Awesome. Building models is exciting. My first model at 9 years old, a Sherman Tank. It came out like a gigantic wax blob, i put way to much testors gel glue on it. My dad made a huge deal when testors released liquid glue. He came unglued.

[@minisinscale1944]

Hi Andy, my dad owned a 69 Pontiac Grand Prix that he loved. When I was 5, we bought a model of that, can’t remember maker. Do you have one and if so, is it for sale? My dad passed and this is very nostalgic for me. I have been looking for this plastic kit for about 20+ years but cannot find it, and would prefer plastic over a pre-built metal version (that is rare but available)! Great work and glad to see you doing so well. Your passion comes out and is why your seeing so much success! Thank you. Joe

[@americafirst6408]

I live in Baltimore and in 1997 i was given a job to clean out a old abandoned Shell station which had been abandoned for 53 years, i found 7 boxes of Hot Wheels car never opened along with vintage signs and i kept it all. I have not sold any of it yet but this summer i will be selling it all.

[@billclarke5916]

Gotta show my wife this, I take it you are going to on sell these.

[@ernestcashion4462]

So I see all the boxes with lot numbers on them. Was this a living estate or estate sale? And did you just buy them enmasse or bid each one? I follow a lot of on line auctions of trains and am amazed at the number of NOS or unopened stuff from the 50's and onward. I'm 100 miles from any hobby shop and would love to be closer to any , but I'd love to see your's continued good luck and good business.

[@davearmstrong1932]

When you get them inventoried and ready for sale, please let us know.

[@boogermeister1]

Very cool stuff, I wish I was 1500 miles closer to the store!!

[@user-lj1ml3oh8w]

You gotta paint them all)))

[@reconmodelsvaughn469]

I want all the big trucks

[@bernie472]

I used to buy some of the JoHan kits in the late 80's. I paid anywhere from $8 to $12 per kit back then.

[@bigeddie1231]

You got a score there for sure kinda wish I lived by you then again ha ha ha

[@smithgorrilugum4574]

Those old kits remind me of when I was a kid and I would spend hours going through the Auto World model catalog, trying to decide what one or two kits I wanted to order.

[@evergreendorneymahoning5435]

As a kid, I lived about 20 miles from Auto World and as soon as I learned to drive & got my license, up to Scranton I went

Whow!! Was wondering when you are going to build 1/16 Trumpeter Panther?

[@kenblockx2010]

AMT kits are cool👍👍👍👍

[@timvilleneuve7244]

Andy, what a great haul. Was this collection from a hobby store or was it a personal collection? I noticed when you opened a couple of the resin kits a 1958 Pontiac was shown. I know you are most likely still cataloging, but I am interested in that kit. I didn't see any resin kits on your web site, or none came up when I searched. I am just curious if you know what the purchase price would be on that? Thanks for sharing your find!

[@nigelsmith7366]

I would love to see you open a store in NZ

[@BlackSheepModelworks]

Now that is an impressive collection. Too bad those kits are not available online. I wish I could get my hands on some but I can't travel to Arizona due to my dissability. I'n also recovering from heart surgery. But nice haul nonetheless. Keep those videos coming, it's all that kept me motivated and entertaines while I was in the hospital.

[@scottysgarage4393]

I'll tell ya right now, I want that AMT Diamond Reo!

[@wwiiinplastic4712]

lol I am about to build one of those for a campaign on the Kitmaker network.

[@alinchitown7556]

I remember the 2000 because right after you did that I drove from Chicago to Idaho to buy 1000 kits.. Good for your you Andy.

...Again?!😂 EDIT: If there are any rare, interesting models in other pile(I spied Godzilla?) show us them too! :)

[@timmisfit6585]

Just saw the video awesome finds im curious about something I saw in the beginning of the video it was a Dodge charger Daytona it was a pro modeler im curious whats the price going to be on that kit.

[@F4PhantomGaming]

this is how I feel when I have 3 models sitting under my shelf
