One Thousand Vintage Diecast Car & Truck Show

Time to sort through over one-thousand and two-hundred (1,200) old diecast cars and trucks from my collection, as cars from my "Saved From The Sandbox" junk lot are added into the existing cases of cars and trucks. There are countless mint and junkyard condition vehicles in this lot, with brands of toy cars that are 35 to 60 years old from all over the world, including Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Lesney, Corgi, Yatming, Playart, Zymlex, Zee, Tyco, Lock-Ups, Welly, and Impy. Enjoy this rare look at some of my rarest collectibles that rarely are seen before they all get put back into deep cold storage! It is one very nostalgic journey through diecast toy car history here in the Diecast Museum.

Just pure diecast heaven. What a great collection.

[@beatnikbanditdiecast4932]

Husky Toys were a Corgi brand sold exclusively through Woolworths in the UK. When the licensing deal expired in 1969 they were re branded as Corgi Juniors. Originally they came with cast wheels with plastic tyres but soon were fitted with fast running Whizzwheels. Corgi Rockets were a development of them with separate chassis.

[@wtffor]

I have seen several "transitional" pieces in my collection, where the a casting has a Husky base while an exact same other casting has a Corgi Whizwheels base. Thanks for the information, I am glad you shared it here as I had missed that in my video

[@beatnikbanditdiecast4932]

@@wtffor That's right, the last Huskies and the first Juniors were identical apart from the colours. I love watching your channel and delving into your archive (and keeping an eye out for Nina 🙂) You have an amazing collection

[@MrWolfSnack]

Thanks for clearing that up. I thought Husky and Corgi were separate companies and Corgi bought out Husky. I didn't know it was actually Corgi with Husky being their own subseries. Also Corgi Rockets are rare because they made them to compete with Hot Wheels and once Mattel found out, they axed it.

[@beatnikbanditdiecast4932]

@@MrWolfSnack As I understand it, Mattel had taken out a patent on the plastic track and both Matchbox and Corgi had infringed it with their tracks, which is why they both disappeared around 1971. Also I should imagine Rockets were very expensive to produce.

[@Viscalis]

Husky are from the mid to late 60s and were a brand owned by Corgi to complete with Matchbox’s 1-75 series. It later became known as Corgi Jr. and also Corgi Wizzwheels.

[@samace22]

Awesome vintage collection you have congrats.👍

[@Ifeelbad4yason]

I enjoy the Yatmings as well,you showed another brand I recall fondly from my childhood was Ertl with opening doors.They were kinda a solid color usually,49 merc 57 Chevy and a shoebox Ford..and many others.I remember being a kid and getting them one by one at the grocery store.Great video as always!

[@wtffor]

Very cool! Those old Ertl are iconic, and definitely have a place in my collection!

[@MrWolfSnack]

Many people don't know ERTL actually tooled and made their own cars for a brief time. They were mainly known for their tractor models and some sporadic TV license deals.

[@karoki12]

WoW this took me back to my childhood. The Kojak was my favorite. I still have a lot of these cars in storage.

[@ScaryTeacher3DLuffy-fi6ge]

So many toys I like it

[@geoffersongeofferies477]

One of your best videos in quite sometime! I am enjoying watching this one! Thank you!

[@wtffor]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@petewrxy2578]

One off the Best diecast collection out there Keep buying like me old diecast new mint and playworn junkyard cars don't restore I will never restore old playworn diecast and won't buy restore vehicles Wttfor do you buy restore diecast Keeping the hunting going plus buy all the old cars before they go in the trash keep the hobby alive and well

[@wtffor]

I have not restored any old cars, and probably won't with the exception of re-doing cars that have already been painted very poorly.

[@Ifeelbad4yason]

My favorite reviewer!

[@diecast1962]

Always love sharing your videos with my wife she then realises my collection of about 10000 isn't as bad as yours yours Dave H Timaru New Zealand

[@wtffor]

10,000 .... that's a sizable collection! Congrats, what do you collect for the most part?

[@zeldadiecastracing]

Dope collection bro

[@TheKingRacer007]

Realy like your Tomica collection. They are so rare and hard to find in Québec. 😅

[@Carterandcars1]

Hello i live your videos keep it up man!

[@junkionix]

Very nice collection of old school metal. I had that Yatming Black Mustang with the fender flares and butterscotch windows as a kid. I never knew it was a Yatming because to me it looked like a Matchbox car. I usually didn't get any Hot Wheels or Matchbox accept on special occasions because we were poor but, when I did I would be so happy. I also had that black Hot Wheels '57 Bel Air. My brother got me that and two other Hot Wheels for Christmas one year. That same year my Dad got me the Hot Wheels city that had the little man that you could make him cross the street. The adults in the family thought that that was hilarious. Good memories. I am also a fan of the old Kenner Fast 111's cars. Those things would really move!

[@kcdw73]

impressive collection

[@robbyscollectibles]

Cool cars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@wtffor]

Glad you like them!

[@iluvfan]

Where did you get the plastic storage containers for your collection? It’s so well organized!

[@wtffor]

Amazon, they are Plano 5324 cases

[@humbertorivera1718]

Thanks for the video, I love it!

[@philiplogan1144]

Love your videos and great to see you save these cars

[@MrWolfSnack]

11:00 I do the same thing. I just buy lots of cars from goodwill and eBay and whatever is in the box is what I get. Cars I don't have go into my collection, those that are dupes go into a separate storage location. If I get the exact matching car again but it is in better condition, the worse condition one gets replaced. That will continue for whatever cars I happen upon through time. I will never ever forget when I got that super chromes porsche in a bulk lot of old hot wheels. some kid painted over it but you could still see the green and yellow tampos showing that indicated it was a $900 (in mint shape of course) car. I was totally floored. i have a lot of fun buying 10lb+ mystery lots of cars. And yes kid painted cars still count in the collection if I do not have the car until I get a replacement of that specific car.

[@KBH27]

Amazing collection dude!

[@MrWolfSnack]

23:04 Zee Toys and Zylmex are the same brand. They used both names interchangeably, I think it was a trade law type thing they were using a loophole for. In the mid 90s Zylmex would eventually be dissolved and absorbed into "Motor Max" brand where some Zylmex castings lingered for a bit before Motor Max formed its own identity.

Why did you start your collection? Anyway never stop even at old age. Pass it down through your family.😊❤ 9:22

[@wtffor]

Thanks for your comment! I started collecting when I was at a very young child and I have actually never stopped. It's always brought me joy and a fun outing and pastime.

[@edwardmullins2716]

i brought a old ford fire bird by hotwheels dates from 1978 from a flea market here in the uk paid £2 for it its the heart of my collection of over 500 cars maybe more

[@tontonsreview2303]

Yes!!!

[@KBH27]

Ever seen a 1/64 car with 4 opening doors? I have a memory of one from childhood in the 70s but can't find what it might have been.

[@wtffor]

No, I have not would be cool though

[@kennywazelle-zz1yp]

Got to love it

[@joakimhjelm-svennesen8984]

The silver Corgi WhizzWheels Jaguar XJ6. I got that same in yellow. Only it is branded as a Husky models diecast stamped on the base with thin plastic wheels and metal rims. The tow hook in mine is broken off. As I understand the Corgi and Husky brand was owned by the same company Mettoy Playcraft Ltd

[@bling1634]

Cool collection and those vans are for rd vans

[@MrWolfSnack]

4:00 PlayArt went out of business 40 years ago lol

[@krazy4baja]

Wow! You have a lot!!!!!! of diecast. What do you do with most of them, especially the ones that are still packed in all those cases and containers

[@wtffor]

Many are awaiting a larger museum to be displayed in, or there turn in the rotation of what I can display currently.

[@vincentmostacci1025]

Back again

[@joakimhjelm-svennesen8984]

In the same box with PlayArt cars, where you took out that orange COE Siku Ford Taunus with crew cab and with a bed/box on there were also a silver Siku VW Caddy Rabbit with brownish/yellowish tinted windows and a yellow interior and yellow bed/box interior. It’s around 20:10 min or so

[@wtffor]

Thank you very much for letting me know, I have retrieved that model now and put it in a new home!

[@Robert-Scania-Siku]

the police car next to it also belongs to Siku. Just like the Porsche a few seconds later.

[@joakimhjelm-svennesen8984]

@@wtffor you are very welcome. I have that exact same car up on my attic. It’s pretty much in the same condition. Well played, but in a nice condition. I love that car

[@gregmcfadden8505]

O DAWG ..You are a Crazy Man ! The Diecast savior. The Z i belive is also Zylmex as i think in one of your vids saw a carded car that had both logos on the package ...i think . I love finding these cool off brands too . They have made my collection far more diverse an more unique..no one should just do one brand to much out there especially companies that no longer exist .... Have also found same shape pretty red Z made Corvette ..an halftrack They definitely have a cool quality worth collecting. Went to the FM yesterday an today .bunch a cools havent even pulled out the bag yet ...i found the chrome oscar meyer wienersmobile LOL ...on card ...2 bucks . An a massive pile in the bag yet of loose cars ..few HW an MB Ferrari s ..my main fun thing to search and find . As back then i wasent a car collector an ive missed out on the entire old hot wheels Ferrari Era .

[@wtffor]

Awesome finds! Especially that Chrome Wienermobile that's a tough one and for $2 wow! Enjoy your afternoon of sifting and sorting through all the new finds from the flea market, I wish there was more flea markets near me because it is always worth the trip. Thanks for the comment. It's cool to know that those Zymlex cars are in your collection as well.

[@MrWolfSnack]

Yes the Z would be Zylmex. A lot of collectors are picking up on this company recently. For decades it was shunned as junk. A diecast collector's site actually interviewed some employees of Intex Pool Corp. (who Zee Toys was owed by) its somewhere out there on the internet.

[@mishasamorodin9150]

Do you also have any newer siku cars, I like your existing collection

[@wtffor]

Unfortunately not

[@Viscalis]

38:15 I’m pretty sure “Sneaky Pete” was a custom truck designed and build by someone in California, hence its name. I know Revell made a kit for it in the late 70s so it can’t be a fake car?

[@wtffor]

I think you are correct, I've heard of Sneaky Pete before

[@MrWolfSnack]

The Yatming Sneaky Pete was a knockoff of the Revell model kit Sneaky Pete. Whether the model kit was a custom design from an artist or a real truck, that is still not known.

[@KurbzGarage]

eye spy a charlie's angel van I never seen that before

[@Viscalis]

21:29 That’s from the early 80s.

[@donnarolando3961]

If it is loose is no longer mint there is no such thing. Mint means in original packaging. 😊

[@saturnsongs]

I would like to either purchase or trade for your orange Playart U.N.C.L.E Car with the spot lights on the hood. Any interest?

[@wtffor]

Sorry nothing is for sale as of today

[@krazy4baja]

Looks like a lot of nice old diecast, some look like junk tho, no offence or disrespect and I hope you treat the junky ones as not valuable and try to sell for money unless restored or fixed up. Nice collection tho. I enjoy your vids

[@wtffor]

Thanks for your message! I don't sell anything from my collection, so nobody will have any complaints :) I am happy to hear you are enjoying my videos

Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe ... ...

[@wtffor]

Thank you 👍

[@WayneLink]

If your cars are in mint condition they would still be in their packaging.Once they are opened they are not considered mint, sorry.👍

[@wtffor]

Incorrect. Mint loose is the condition of an undamaged, opened diecast toy.
