Magical Childhood Collection of Corgi 1/43 scale die-cast models

When I was a kid there was plenty of ways to earn money especially in the summertime. Where I lived in Sandy, Oregon population 990 the only place to get toy cars was the Rexall Drugs or Western Auto Hardware store. Each one had maybe 3 Hot Wheels in stock. I’ve just recently met a guy who grew up in the Chicago area with 3 large toy stores within bicycling distance from his home. Imagine working, making money and then toodeling on down to the hobby store to choose from a wide variety of Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Corgi, Johnny Lightning, Aurora Slot Cars, Huskys and more! Well this time I have most of his Corgi toys to show you and boy are they nice!
Join me as I excitedly reveal every model in the collection. Every one a mystery to be revealed. Thanks for watching!

I bet that lot cost a pretty penny! I've got virtually everyone in playworn to near mint condition unboxed, I love toys from the same era 1960s early 70s pre whizzwheel era as I ain't into those silly plastic out of scale whizzwheels!!! You have got the best of the best collection there.👏😎

Every model from this box is amazing, but the Mercedes with working windshield wipers was something complete new for me, thank you for sharing!

[@raymondchan9802]

The Rover 2000TC and VW Beetle are awesome. Wish i had them. I kinda like Corgis and had very few of them, most of my childhood cars are Matchbox from the '60s and '70s. Thank you for sharing all your videos i really enjoyed every one you made.

[@BubbafromSapperton]

Back in the 60's I had the Batmobile, the boat, the Chitty car and the James Bond car... 🤗

[@larciabella]

I got all my Corgi's growing up at Two Guys store with paper route money.Fun times.

[@michaelshealy3077]

FANTASTIC VIDEO,,,, The 107 batboat is so mint

[@nigelweir3852]

I had the same Camero , broke the plastic roof , loved it , wheels come off, loved it

[@hobinyarassi2317]

corgi always the number one, nice

[@diecastdoktor9191]

Those are some very impressive cars and all the moving parts on the small ones, makes me think of how the engineers had to put their thinking caps on

[@MrKnash1]

We had just about all of those Corgi's growing up. Still have quite a few. Chitty has wings that pull out too. Bringing me back

[@markxterg0316]

Those are gorgeous cars...very nice...

[@jimsbooksreadingandstuff]

[@dannylow4720]

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

An AMAZING collection!!

[@stephendavidyates]

A great video. Thanks! Maybe one day I’ll upload a video of my collection of 21 vintage Corgi. All perfect boxes!

[@oatseawong6664]

Amazing, I have Ford Sierra 2.3 Ghia and Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3, both 1/43 scale. and some 1/64 cars.

[@Merylstreep1949]

Damn when I saw that Avengers stuff I about died...so jealous @!

[@Merylstreep1949]

I can almost top the dude from Chicago, I had an entire set of original Aurora monster scenes, every kick ass Sizzler car, most of those 70s hotwheels motorcycles and TOOTSIETOYS

[@renecorrea892]

I like Corgi would release a diecast version of the London Necrobus / Ghost Bus Tour, I hope that someday in the future it will be fulfilled.

[@thomascrosby3281]

You all way complain about the boxes . stop it .the age of the stuff you are lucky to have the boxes

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

BEAUTIFUL Corgi Mack Fire Truck!!

[@ricardokim4870]

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Look at all those New In The Box Corgis!!

[@proud_to_be_a_ted]

That's a lot of money

[@darkoflight4938]

Oh, I had so many of these as a kid...

[@didierfaudry5009]

t'es super mec!!!! tu as de l'humour et ça n'a pas de prix!!!

[@monicabru7823]

Wonderfull

[@plutoyaldnil4750]

Chitty's wings pop out when you pull handbrake back and the white plastic is simulated clouds for display

[@justinobrien3593]

Toys from the 60s era was so exiting as most of them had some kind of a working feature like take off wheels/opening doors/firing missiles/ejector seats/plus the well detailed figures some had! That case as standard where as modern toys are boring and have no working features! And if they do have them we pay extra for the privilege sadly.

[@wreckerjonny6144]

I have a few of these now.

[@suzyqualcast6269]

Am 62, still have all my Dinky, Corgi and Matchbox from childhood. Silly me, chipped paint stripped many of my Mbox with view to repainting but then forgot to complete. Still have all though !!

[@javierzila3200]

amazing collection, congratulations. Try not to touch the Die-Cast stickers as the reticular dermis of the fingers gives off a sebaceous oiliness that wears down the sticker and loosens it. This is due to the fact that the Electroplating process of those years did not have as much resistance and tries to take better care of the boxes. I dream of owning any of those pieces. A hug from the City of "La Plata" capital of Buenos Aires.

[@Merylstreep1949]

Sadly I had both the Bat Mobile and the boat....don't forget I also had that all chrome redline Camaro, the Boss Mustang and the whip creamer....boo hoo .Love the videos though.

[@stephendavidyates]

A very impressive collection! You’ve almost got stock for a vintage shop there... may I ask a rude question? How much did you pay for all these? I really enjoyed your video because it captured fully the excitement when you open the parcel and find the Corgi boxes inside. It’s Christmas 1967 all over again 😊

[@ratblacks_diecast]

Very Enjoyable!,....

[@aharonbabel4328]

Lucky guy...Are you a millionaire or you get all this stuff as a present?All this costs nowadays a lot of money.

[@larciabella]

[@toycarcollector]

[@Ptm6569]

[@kickinbackinOC]

30:45 "Two Batmans and Robins" Yes, and a plethora of mall Santas! Sad facts of life!

[@TheShowgirl25]

Corgi were good at operating features, weren't they?

[@ClassicTrialsChannel]

Still have my stingray. but its metalic red not the green you have. also had the beatle. strange kid who never played with them. i never kept the boxes long. toys were meant to be played with not collected when your were a kid.

[@cameraprepper7938]

Check out the Danish Tekno toy cars which was the best for it´s time.

[@scotthamm1585]

Your right the word FRAGILE, doesn’t mean anything , I’ve worked for one of the big three parcel service providers. I think it’s ITALIAN to them they don’t understand it . Lol

[@suzyqualcast6269]

Corgi vehicles can take rough handling. 🇬🇧

[@timburnette5914]

Will these be of the website for sale?

[@oscarpagliari8932]

Where did you find all this modelos?

[@modelbass]

If you dont mind me asking what did u pay?

[@toycarcollector]

Typically when I buy a collection am paying about 60% of what I might get if I sell every model individually. Since I do not do much eBay all items are listed on my web site. For Corgi the complete sale of this collection is still ongoing nearly 2 years later. Time is not an issue for me as I have been buying and selling for over 30 years so there is always something coming in and something going out. Regular people would either have to buy the collection because they wanted it and had the money or buy it and sell it on eBay and take a chance that the auctions would go well plus pay the 15% fees. And also be reported to the local taxing authorities. I have a regular business so I am very use to all the fees and open hands looking for a cut of any profits. Whenever you buy a collection you have to cross your fingers and hope everything is in the condition it seems in the pictures.

[@oldscoolcooldiecast1879]

Is the green hornet with a exclent box for sale or Batman with bad box I like them Both

[@toycarcollector]

toycarcollector.com/corgi_&_others.htm The Batman sold right away. The Green Hornet is now for sale.

[@fernandocarrillo2022]

I remember growing up in East Palo Alto California and we would walk across the freeway to West Palo Alto downtown Palo Alto there was a toy store and me and my two brothers would go in there and we would all buy one toy that's all we could afford for some reason I remember Brian the little red Jaguar one day I've been saving all week for it and on the way out the door I took the little toy out of the box and the box went into the garbage can in the toy store I'd love to get that garbage can back

[@shademanirvanipour6870]

It was early in the morning and my voice is lower and deeper. Turn up the volume!

[@robertbelliottjr5773]

Stop being so negative. Appreciate what you’ve got there.

[@davehill584]

The Batmobile in particular will benefit from your fingerprints.

[@toycarcollector]

I have found over the years that touching toys with my fingers which are on my hands makes collecting toys more enjoyable. I've tried handling them with telepathic thoughts but even though my brain is larger than most peoples I still have been unable to move any objects with telepathy.
