Should You Collect Auto World Diecast?

You should watch this if you're on the fence about collecting Auto World Diecast cars, real and true.

[@Kushial]

My small collection is mostly a mix of AW, JL, GL, and M2s with just a small amount of HWs and Matchboxs. I greatly prefer the more realistic looking cars compared to the more fantastical. Of the Autoworlds, the Vintage Muscles have been my favorites. The 1971 Dodge Dart Swinger has been my favorite casting by AW so far.

[@AGrownManWithToys]

Oh yeah, the Swinger is definitely a great looking casting. I've got a couple color variations and they just look so good.

[@rwright3395]

Dude , I love Autoworld. They seem so real . And the factory colors are just right on the money

[@AGrownManWithToys]

I love the little details they put on the side of the cards too, little pieces of the casting and real cars history

[@stevenagy3946]

Great video well explained, I'm a big Auto world collector have basically every casting ever made.

[@AGrownManWithToys]

Thank you, I tried to make it a goal to collect every casting a while back but didn't have the space or money for it. Perhaps in the future I can make it work.

[@dvdiecastcustoms8785]

M2 does some great looking trucks too there lifted chevys is very sweet auto world does great also 🤘🤘👊

[@AGrownManWithToys]

I haven't seen very many M2 castings lately that I've even considered picking up. I bought a truck from them a while ago and the quality control was just horrible. Hopefully they improved on it this year.

[@dvdiecastcustoms8785]

@@AGrownManWithToys I agree they do have bad quality control i think there more for the carded boxed collector my thing is all they wanna do is line come sprite stuff like that but the chases r beautiful

[@sseltrek1a2b]

the Mark V is absolutely stunning...

[@AGrownManWithToys]

It's such a great casting to have on display, just wished they did a Bill Blass version. Dream car right there

[@Mega-G-Star]

Yes, they are highly detailed models that are perfect representations of the original cars. Great video, thanks for the display show.

[@AGrownManWithToys]

And thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed it

[@Jay-jb2vr]

Wobbly wheels and stiff wheels don't cut it for me

[@Skaramine]

I do love Auto World. They give me options for cars that I wouldn't get from Hot Wheels or Matchbox or Maisto. The Dodge Conquest is exactly a perfect example (I'd been looking for its stable mate the Daytona Turbo Z because I've been watching the 80s TV show Hunter., and the Conquest scratched my Dodge itch). Nobody else made the 73 Pontiac GTO, nor those Landau top Cadillacs. Sometimes it's not about hunting or Treasure or Super Treasure. Sometimes, it's all about a Camaro convertible or something else off the main. Great video.

[@Skaramine]

I DO take a 1/64 in my pocket every day as a good luck charm.

[@AGrownManWithToys]

Thanks for watching. Auto World is just perfect for finding things nobody else makes. I'd also bring a pocket car with me everywhere but my pockets aren't spacious enough for the jeans I wear. Definitely need to start wearing cargo shorts again when it gets warmer out.

[@fjimenezbotello]

Wonderful collection Mustang 1967 and Lincoln 1979 are my fovorites from your collection. Thanks for share

[@AGrownManWithToys]

And thank you for watching!

[@sseltrek1a2b]

the few of these i've bought have been outstanding...really great idea for this company to make a line of 1/64 cars/trucks that are completely accurate in details/comparative size...

[@AGrownManWithToys]

Especially for the price, it's completely worth it getting all this detail

[@ripwreckraceway]

im a new sub shared like loved ! Auto World dose have very groove die cast cars & trucks eg! groovtastic man

[@AGrownManWithToys]

Thank you for the sub!

[@mightylonesome9426]

Collect what you like. Even an occasional Maisto, if it appeals to you. It's your hard earned money.😅

[@charlesashlock5672]

I like the majority of Round2's lines, JL, AW, and Racing Champions, all realistic (for the most part) and beautiful castings. Nice video!

[@AGrownManWithToys]

I've really been wanting to get into JL. I only have 2 so far but haven't seen anything that suits my style while also being available in stores.

[@novadiecastman5251]

Auto world does awesome for the real car model .. very well detailed as well 👍

[@AGrownManWithToys]

The detail is amazing for the price, thanks for watching!

[@koolkatkustomdiecast801]

Depends on how and why you collect! I collect Hot wheels JL and some Matchbox. Collectors value I know nothing about AW.

[@cpearson7372]

Auto World, and Johnny Lightning are my favorites to collect, but their price had kept me from having my collection being anything but mostly Hotwheels and Matchbox for years. I was finally stable enough in 2018, and began altering my collection to AW and JL, heavy. I also prefer to hold, and inspect, my collection, off the card! However, the cards for Auto World are really great, and so I have left many on card. I love that some cards have the paint color, all cards have historical information, and neat card art. Dang it, I sure wish I could afford 2 of each casting that I like. Then, I could manipulate, and enjoy, off card, the Auto World, and Johnny Lightning, diecasts. My favorites to collect are station wagons, pickups, vans, mustangs(prefer '92 and before) and muscle cars that are pre 2000.😢 This is my first-time watching a video of yours, and it was fun! I enjoyed seeing the vehicles up closer, pieces of your collection, and your enthusiasm 😀

[@AGrownManWithToys]

Oh yeah I love the card art that Auto World does! I actually have a huge box filled with all the peeled cards that I might plaster together one day for a decoration piece. But yes, the information they have on the sides relating to the casting is such a cool touch! Thank you for the comment!

[@cpearson7372]

@@AGrownManWithToys that putting all the cards together, design, sounds 👌🔥 fantastic! Think I will stick around, you're my kind of grown man with toys 😄

[@billyglass5438]

Wish auto world would have nicer wheels. Width I mean. Got a Jeep rubicon and it has the skinniest rims and tires. Wheel faces look nice , but drop ball on widths.

[@stormchasingk9]

I just collected all six variations of the Lincoln Mark V. I don't care about the red or raws. Just glad to finally have a model of my dream car.

[@AGrownManWithToys]

I also have all 6 variations. So much fun to have all of them next to each other. I would like to have at least 1 ultra red Mark V in my collection. I miss when I used to have time to head to the store during peak stocking hours to find the good stuff.

[@stormchasingk9]

@@AGrownManWithToys I never find reds or raws, and I had to eBay four of the six lincolns since I got in late to collecting them.

[@jrex9197]

I'm sold. Been on the fence for a minute but these are just too nice to pass on. Appreciate the video

[@JoseSuarez-bk3qg]

Nice review. Love the name of your channel as I too have a lot of cars toys and other type vehicles in 1/64 and 1/43 scale.

[@AGrownManWithToys]

Thank you! Yeah I definitely had to pick this name, stands out and is goofy. I really need to try and collect more 1/43 scale but haven't found many that are a reasonable price for what I'm looking for.

[@JoseSuarez-bk3qg]

@@AGrownManWithToys Thanks for replying. The 1/43 are expensive as I have been collecting that scale since the mid 1990s.

[@AGrownManWithToys]

@@JoseSuarez-bk3qg Is there a specific brand that you recommend? The only 1/43 scale I have is a NEO First Gen Honda Prelude in Black. Quality is a little poor for the price in my opinion but I could have just gotten a bad model.

[@JoseSuarez-bk3qg]

@@AGrownManWithToys You can start with Greenlight, IXO, Altaya and White Box. You may need to check around to get the best price

[@jrsdiecastcars1978]

[@bunkerdiecastchannel9973]

Great review the details quality and price are perfect for me love Autoworld 😎

[@zosometalgod]

If you don't remember the year of the car just look on the bottom of the car Auto world prints the model and year of the cars

[@cpearson7372]

Yes, except that it is incredibly tiny! 😆 Even with my glasses on, I need a magnifying 🔎 glass, to read the base information. That is the one thing that really frustrates me about the Auto World, and Johnny Lightning, vehicles.

[@IdontKnow-jt2oz]

Especially for the price Auto World is a great brand one of my favorites as I fall further into the diecast rabbit hole 😂

[@AGrownManWithToys]

Yep same here. Decided to buy my first batch of Auto World back I think in 2019 and haven't seen any other brand worth the price

I know I'm late to the party , but ; well stated, detail and quality over fad. Thou I have HW , I will collect outside of that make. But the question of economics also plays a part in my collecting , all about what I like ,and willing to pay. But we'll said , keep up the good work , and thanks.

[@AGrownManWithToys]

Thank you for the comment! I believe this hobby should definitely be more focused on collecting what people like rather than abusing some things to make some cash on the side. I may make a video about that actually...

Well I collect all brands. Lately don't collect hot wheels...I get it that's where you can make good money because that's where you find bigger fools but if you aren't in it to profit there are much better brands to collect with better detail. To each their own but I prefer higher detail over fad at the end of the day I collect for the hobby and my family will have a ball selling everything for $1 when I'm gone 😂 Thanks for sharing... autoworld in my opinion has awesome castings and details are spot on .

[@AGrownManWithToys]

Every now and then I'll pick up a hot wheels car if I see something cool, but 90% of the time I'm looking for auto world. Just a better thing to collect

How do you like the brand’s QC? I don’t own any yet but at a glance it seems better than the other Mijo brands save for MiniGt

I'd say my only QC gripe is the tires. It's almost impossible to find a wheel with a decently centered/smooth white line.
