Poolside unboxing Johnny Lightning

A beautiful, warm, sunny September day - perfect sit by my pool and crack open over forty 1/64 scale vintage Johnny Lightning cars - including Project in Progress, muscle cars, movie vehicles, trucks, station wagons, Monte Carlo's, and so many more cool cars and trucks glistening under the afternoon sun. Enjoy!

[@snakesdiecast7130]

WoW awesome collection bud those are some Killer Johnny's especially that spectra flame Nova SS Gorgeous ‼️

[@DiecastShowCustoms]

Those Monte Carlos are my favorite. I used to own a 1985 SS

[@nimeshchokshi1921]

Also, I loved seeing these old Johnnys. I've been getting a few old Johnnies here and there. Need to get more old and new Johnnys, because I've come to truly love and enjoy this brand.

[@therollors254]

Love your videos. Amazing collection of cars as always. Thanks for sharing them. I liked the poolside touch to this one too.

[@jeep2003]

Good stuff I like when you show the back for the other cars in the series.

[@fantasticbarry5331]

Really nice set of cars 👍😁

[@viniciusgomes5147]

Ripping a cardboard open is just so satisfying!

[@almanyadanizzet6800]

Thank you for sharing this awesome cars with us.Thumbs up

[@stevenlugo924]

Very awesome and well informed video . I look forward to seeing more of your videos throughout the future .

[@diecasttvchannel]

I noticed the can of beer on the table at the end and see in the comments it has been described as Molson Canadian - that answers my question on your previous video - nice! What a swell day to be out by the pool cracking open die-cast. I liked your comment during the video about if you put that camouflage car in the garden you wouldn't be able to find it again LOL! Thanks for the great video =)

[@ericmcginnis2097]

You are by far the die cast king! I have a good bit but no where near your level. Alot of us look up to your collection! Im loving the die cast museum! Pretty nice bud!!!

[@wtffor]

Thank you very much! Means a lot to me!

[@adolfosalinas4352]

Nice collection sir the classics are neat !!!!

[@JohnSTF72]

Cracking various great vintage castings from JL, near the pool and watching this with a cup of coffee. Think anything better? The '55 Chrysler 300, the '74 Dodge Monaco Fire Chief Car, the 1950 Chevy Suburban, the Karmann Ghias are some the castings i'd love to find or see them re-released by Johnny Lightning. Great collection, than you for showing all these cars!

[@nimeshchokshi1921]

JohnSTF72 I would love their Porsche, Jaguar E-Type Roadster, and all of their Aston Martins to be re-released. I have the JL V12 Vanquish, and it's so awesome!

[@h2ofield]

This was great... love the Johnnys!

[@MarcdelaCruz1]

Can't wait for the vintage 1981 Hot Wheels release! I love that kind of videos!

[@seanc5226]

Simply awesome collection

[@tripleatriplea5686]

Honestly I never know anything about Johnny lightning cars cause I grew up on matchbox and hot wheels. After watching this video I’ve been collecting Johnny lightning like crazy. Love it thanks buddy. I never knew about these old school cars being made like the Monte Carlo ss caught my eyes.

[@coreydonaldson3303]

Very stellar collection of Johnny Lightning diecast vehicles Wtffor !

[@collectorofstuff158]

Beautiful collection! Really fun video, except for all the jealousy I'm feeling. :)

[@LamarFaciane]

I loved this video!!! The best cracking party I have seen yet!!!! #freethepiece

[@coreydonaldson3303]

That 1950 White and dark blue Chevrolet Suburban looks pretty cool !

[@jamesscali6156]

Nice Love the blue Impala

[@ericmcginnis2097]

I wish my collection was on parr with yours.

[@djanoke-deepartberlin7076]

i love the Johnny Lightning cars,please bring more to Germany!

[@colinsdiecast164customs]

totally amazing, love J/L's.

[@coreydonaldson3303]

That 62 Chevrolet Bel Air looks pretty awesome !

[@AlWheelin]

Lets make Canada Great Again with Molson Canadian! Seeing that can of beer was the best part of this vid......as much as I like JL's.

[@retrovicecity9017]

I'm in Niagara and yeah September 2017 seemed hotter than July. Nice pool and yard btw.

[@Championdjk]

What a load of awesome cars. I need to get my hands of some variations of that 86 bird

[@mikes9971]

This is so relaxing!

[@starrider8495]

Your zingers are badass especially the Shelby

[@NandiCollector]

I love any each of your videos, but this, this is the most awesome video i have watched and enjoyed on your channel. It really gave me goosebumps. Awesome collection . ❤ PS: maybe I enjoyed more because I love to unbox stuff from eBay! LOL.

[@kraco2866]

I have to tell you, your voice is very soothing, I really believe that you are going too go far in KZbin......Also your probably sick of hearing this, but I'm going to say it anyway...........Your collection is AMAZING !!!!! GREAT JOB on your show.....

[@wtffor]

Thank you! I never tire from the support of my viewers, your comment is greatly appreciated!!

[@jamesclay69]

yeah he is the only hot wheel guy ill watch haha..he really is awesomely specific on the cars and what they are valued. he's been turning me into a collector pro which is very helpful when i go to flea markets

[@jons7771]

45 minutes of fun. Now my ass hurts.

[@bradley.reim22]

great vid

[@bobman-lo8hc]

Excellent JL opening video. I have a couple large bins of JL's put away. No room to display them all at this time. This pool side video reminds me of your Tonka Ice Out Contest. Was there a video of the completion this Year ? I couldn't find it. I must of missed it.

[@coreydonaldson3303]

The 70 Dodge Dart in black kicks butt !

[@mcbrickslego2386]

The only Johnny Lightning car I have is a '65 Ford Mustang Convertible in a light blue. I found it in one of my parents friends house.

[@bobbymillionaire1825]

Excellent video - those Monte's are the best. Johnny Lightning is all real die cast - they don't use plastic like you see on some Hot Wheels do they?

[@wtffor]

Thank you! All new releases of Johnny's are 100% diecast these days, but in years past some models did have plastic bases.

[@coreydonaldson3303]

The silver 65 Volkswagen Karman Ghia with racing tempos rocks !

[@huntingtoy]

beautiful..

[@nimeshchokshi1921]

I wish you could get some newer releases of JL. I really think you'd enjoy them, especially the Gone Fishing sets with the wagons.

[@slimwhitman1301]

I sometimes wonder why I didn't buy more new JL back in the day, but seeing the prices you paid reminds me why. $4-$6 then really added up so I had to be careful. It seems I can find these at toy shows for much less now. I am trying to catch up now. ;)

[@ericmcginnis2097]

That karmen giah is awesom but of coarse they all are

[@terguo]

I'm in Rochester and we got 92 degrees Fahrenheit and in school it was a hot!!

[@Wrguitar941]

Still sept here i must say cool pad

[@pollyg562]

$7 for a new 1/64 a bit of a shock, but the quality is their, they were before their time, in the last 5 years the super detailed model market has taken of, though usually the 1/32 to 1/24 or around those sizes and im not sure if their ahead or influencing time but the work in progress type of cars has also taken off,of late

[@kylesoler4139]

True 1:64 has become quite big lately especially in Asia. quite a lot of them (Tomica Limited Vintage especially) make Greenlight look lackluster when you put them together.

[@kylesoler4139]

The thing with TLV at least is that their regular models (not their trucks or diorama sets) cost around NZD$30 on average.

[@BaldwinBay]

I'm enjoying my diecast collectable vehicles and also have no plans to sell them. Sometimes some are given away as a gift.

[@coreydonaldson3303]

The 69 Plymouth Barracuda is very awesome !

[@coreydonaldson3303]

I also have the Johnny Lightning 13 Customs 73 Chevrolet Caprice Station Wagon and the Wicked Wagons 65 Chevrolet Chevelle Station Wagon !

[@Wrguitar941]

Wish i started collecting years ago those jl in the review are bad ass my goodness look at the prices lol such detail i do look for them on the hunt my area is not very good upstate ny albany ....surprising very limited ....

[@thatsthatsgbh]

It was 40 a few days ago here. also should I start doing Tomica unboxings?

[@nelsonarraial2780]

I have some 20 year old loose Johnny lightnings that are not doing me any good sitting in the closet I really believe they should be in your collection how can I get them to you.

[@coreydonaldson3303]

Speaking of Chevrolet Suburbans. I would like to get my hands on a diecast 69 Chevrolet Suburban !

[@capswin]

Did you notice that the Hummer was a White Lightning? Said it on the tires. (Tyres to you).

[@KeepItBrick]

capswin must have been worth a fortune. 😞

[@garyjust.johnson1436]

Nice!

[@user-zk9sy3bt4f]

Johnny lightning it's the best

[@Chromozer]

Make more videos. Your videos is cool. Sorry for my bad english

[@KeepItBrick]

Mmmm this seems like asmr.

[@hectorgill328]

Thanks for showing the collection. I loved the '70 Plymouth GTX "NARLEY SKULL". After watching the video I found one on eBay, it's now in my hands.

[@DetroitNerd]

Are you near Windsor?

[@E180TEKNO]

i love this car chevy monte carlo and buick GNX. SHE IS Most class 02:57

[@HeavyMetalOne64]

Awesome video O-Dawg! You think you'll ever venture to Tomica Limited Vintage or Kyosho?

[@nimeshchokshi1921]

HeavyMetal One64 It's probably too much money atm, but, he'd definitely enjoy them.

[@HeavyMetalOne64]

Nimesh Chokshi I doubt money would be the issue. He doesn't seem to mind paying for valuable detailed diecast. I definitely think he'd enjoy them though

[@nimeshchokshi1921]

HeavyMetal One64 Don't get me wrong. I would love to see some Kyoshos, TLVs and even regular Tomica and Tomica Premium on his channel. There's just so much stuff out there that sometimes, you have to really pick and choose carefully.

[@nimeshchokshi1921]

HeavyMetal One64 Love your channel, btw. I like the variety you show in almost every video you upload.

[@HeavyMetalOne64]

Thank you!

[@zxccxz164]

Ford Bronco is green acres star county agent Hank Kimballs car!!!!

[@damion8981]

Make a demolition derby video

[@bluepants7855]

How much does it effect resale to open the cars??

[@pollyg562]

you never finished.. what was at Walmart for $1.50,??the Johnny Ls ????

[@wtffor]

Yes, it was the JL's.... sorry for the omission

[@NewNoise1]

All cars need to be opened

[@Wrguitar941]

Man i didnt realize jl's in the past were sweet and bad ...! Greed attacks again....shout out to m2's still best detailed....

[@HeavyMetalOne64]

theyre not nearly as detailed as Kyosho or Tomica limited vintage. And though the detail is ok, the quality is poor.

[@davantelawrence1990]

I suport your channal

[@jamesclay69]

why did hot wheels stop the great suspension on the cars. today it seems like they went cheapo on the quality :/

[@canadiancatgreen]

Are we able to send you stuff?

[@Wrguitar941]

Monte rocks what happen to johnny lightnings quality and diversity:(

[@Wrguitar941]

Who is the man??? Wtf is the 1/64 guru of the diecast collectors .... keep them comming all others watch and listen...

[@plumbingstuffinoregon2471]

First!

[@plumbingstuffinoregon2471]

I'm sorry but I've never been first on any channel with more than 20,000 subscribers.

[@fatloser7244]

NO!! PLEASE DON'T OPEN THEM UP!! It kills me to see you taking all those great collectible cars out of their original package. Especially outside next to the pool!!! Please do your reviews without taking them out of their package.

[@wtffor]

I'm sorry you don't like seeing my cars opened, but this is a review channel and I am a loose car collector, always have been. If I keep all my cars in the packages, I would have no where to display them and they would all live in a box unseen until I die. Rest assured most of these cars produced are suffering that fate, so when their owners die or pass the cars on, you can keep them however you like :)

[@fatloser7244]

I understand. Its just my own preference. But like you said, you don't plan to sell them and its necessary for the review so its good. I still love your videos, they are very fun to watch. Your car museum is AWESOME!!! My dream is to have a basement with all my collectibles in display unfortunately I don't have a basement.
