Martins Huge toy Collection, Corgi, dinky and more

This is toy collecting. Probably the biggest in Ireland. The video is a little wobble at the beginning. Met Martin at a toy fair here in Ireland and he is a sound guy. Here is his Collection. Video is originally from the RTE archive.

Fabulous collection. I could spend hours looking at those and enjoying them.

[@robertgarrett4046]

This is one hell of a fantastic collection of Diecast Model's Martin , great stuff . Rob.

[@retrobilly1986]

They must be 35 of the meanest people on earth out there. How could you put a thumbs down to that.

[@rjc7289]

That was one very impressive collection! Just that shelf of Guinness cars made my jaw hit the floor!

[@italiancharmingcarsmodelcars]

Splendide collection.

[@markdanna7155]

Martin I like your collection it is so awesome .

[@marcelorubenquirogaviera6526]

Awesome collection, Congratulations, thanks, for showing !!

[@ibs16]

Wow! I am lost for words. I would be in my element in your loft and workshop. I have recently taken up this hobby and joined your magical world!!!

[@Rainmanxxl1967]

And I thought my 1000 aircooled VW models are many !!!!!! That is a nice selected and huge Collection !

[@AtTonisGarage]

This collection is incredible...amazing 👍👍👍

[@martinfield8663]

incredible collection, well done Martin.

[@dismaldog]

Simply Amazing!!!-Love the way you won't repaint a playworn.I have a few playworn and to me they tell a story of how these were loved and played with.Love the Enthusiasm you have for your hobby.

[@Car_and_classic_lover]

Agreed some modles shouldn't be painted just repaired enough to allow them to roll and be used once again 👍

[@ayrinaaini]

Oh i really like this guy. He seems not just a collector or a person who knows a lot of cars but he seems a person who truly love a toy car, have fond memories of a single of one them and he,s kind a toy repairer too. Great collection of all sorts of diecats i,ve ever seen and being put in the attics. My word I spend hours and hours looking pondering over his collection. As he lived in Ireland maybe Charlie A can knows a bit about this man..

[@redaaljaouhari8112]

Wow very cool

[@Bigreid92]

Whoa!!!! I thought my collection of Matchbox,Dinky and Corgi was huge but this guy is the King!!! Love it. Someone commented on the condition of some of the models. I have a few with dents and nicks no bother to me. Because I played with them as a child and enjoyed plus it has character. Keep on collecting my friend!!!

[@Hertog_von_Berkshire]

Didn't see any Corgi Constructor GS/24. My life wouldn't be complete without my GS/24 collection.

[@elephantman1238]

Omg that is the most amazing collection I've ever seen

[@jimmyduncan7650]

And he probably knows them all.

[@jimmyjames6267]

Is Martins still alive? Who will get his collection, hopefully somebody who appreciates it

[@junkhoarder2062]

Truly amazing and whats even more amazing is he is Irish in Ireland. Something one would not expect to find. I would'nt bet it's the biggest in Ireland. The country is full of amazing and extraordinary people who are very private about their lives and few knows what goes on behind closed doors. There are other types of collections, equally as fantastic. Its actually easy to accumulate a collection of such items as I done so about 15 years ago. In the space of 4 years I accumulated 10,000 approx, nearly all Matchbox and their many variants. What put an end to it was a wife! Now shes gone I am at it again but differently and slower. Foe the few of us who are ignorent and do troll like behaviour. Go away with your worthless, ignorent comments. If you can't say something positive then say nothing. For instance to reply to rubbish earlier posted, Finding something, regardless of condition is treasure to those who want them. Havent you heard, one man's meat is another man's murder??? Dust? Who cares! Varying attic temperature??? Who cares! You have to have such a hobby to understand and appreciate.

[@josephdeffendoll3056]

Great collection, good bless

[@Great_011]

Wow!! Look's really great, Martin you are a legendary diecast collector.

[@JacobafJelling]

Cool patina on them. Just started finding my first ones days ago. The quality of matchbox cars compared to other brands got me interested. Others that are metal frames can also do if I like the car. Greetings from DK

[@Jo-nm1gu]

Puntang and matchbox, the perfect combination.

[@Brabus8297]

keeping all of them dusted must be hell

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

[@melconley6229]

Great collection 👍

[@shaverx3293]

Fantastic collection! But, video needs subtitles.

[@Hertog_von_Berkshire]

The toys are almost as entertaining as the light cotton dress catching the breeze.

[@elsinorebrewing3841]

I used to collect military Dinky toys and I had a decent collection with even 17 of the MIB but damn that is a massive collection.

[@gracianomendoza8671]

That is a huge investment Martin. Nice!

[@genericmodz]

Used to collect some of the corgis when I was about 7 saw 1 of the guiness trucks but didn't get it never seen it since and that was 11 years ago :(

[@Petrolhead350cui]

Nice collection.

[@tonytcb4504]

Unbelievable collection ❤

[@franciscoguevara5308]

Now that...is a HUGE collection...dusty, but nice.

[@LovelessCzeon]

Very nice ! i wanted to be a diecast collector like that :)

[@gregraymond428]

Damn dude, I love your super cool toy collection. But the humidity up in your attic must effect them. No leaks I hope. I’ve been a toy collector for about 30 years now and I love the hobby. But my collection is nowhere near as huge as yours, as I push for quality rather than quantity. So far so good too. Happy collecting.🇦🇺👍🤪😁☮️

[@thumper11954]

hi martain....castleblayney man here in new york for the last 30 years...would love to see your toys next time i am home...thanks for shareing

[@RizzaRazzu]

[@lordofdunvegan6924]

[@labyonnette]

Hi Martin dont you find that the models get dusty because they are not covered up Bob

[@colinderry3286]

Have you got the whitbread 6 weeler Dennis dray lorry which we used back in the early 70s the lorry had a sheet on the back for bottles and tubs The Dennis dustcart was made ? But don’t know if any one has a Deinnis 6 weeeler whitbread Dray from the 70 s

[@gracianomendoza8671]

Wish you had the power to just bring out any and say the magic word then it becomes the real thing. Use it then say the magic word it goes back to being a toy. Hahaha that would be a dope superpower sir!

[@gooscooby5988]

Wow 🤩

[@ross6668]

And surprisingly still single...

[@Reuben007Ash]

Amazing addiction. I’m a collector to but this collection is to much for me because the reason that collected items must be in the front not hide by millions models in a kind of warehouse.

[@ToyCarCase]

WOW!

[@jackcopland8556]

does anybody know where I might obtain a die cast model of a 1951 Anglia?

[@dangerman8625]

They say there's one born, every minute.!

[@C4RPhunter1710]

My room is like one of those but there are no cars its just planes

[@astrafalustre8259]

More like tanks I'd say, given your pic.

[@stephencarter217]

How much would you give me for some 60s and 70s corgi cars

[@shill700]

'hugh' or 'huge'?

[@janknuckey]

No no NO!!! You must never say which model is your favourite...because everyone knows that all the other models will gang together and beat shit out of your favourite, once you turn off the lights and close the door.....

[@YoutubeYou-i8n]

In 2024 his collection is easily worth half a million dollars 🤔

[@vicheysim9540]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Andrew-wg7lf]

[@Steve20127]

Begorrah and Bedad; what an eejit!!

[@welshbloke3361]

[@CarlosAlberto-ii1li]

Dyslexia was big 9 years ago then.

[@lollyofelly9510]

How the vehicles lost their paint even if he took care of them is a mystery.

[@autobug2]

Not really. Remember; someone else played with these before he got them!

[@Kjk_808]

Wow that’s a big collection and he’s spends 1000p at a toy show 😱

[@thecurtray]

what is the difference in this and hoarding.hoards dont seem to care about thier surroundings like collectors do i guess.must be a fine line

[@collectorsdream]

he displays his collection for purpose and chooses them, where as hoarders just have everything every where

[@retrorocker44]

WoW !

[@badgern100]

Terrible way to store and preserve models, should be in dustproof cupboards or at leat keep them boxed.

[@ohcrikey9560]

Its known as displaying them.

[@agasgulzadian5729]

😀👍

[@renovo56]
