Yeah, thanks for having me. I'm glad that do you

Speaker 4 (03:19):
So there you go.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Absolutely and For those who don't know, you probably know
Johnny's channel, Johnny's die Cast. It has almost three hundred
thousand subscribers nice and three hundred and seventy three videos
all about tiny cars more or less, I don't know.
I haven't checked all of them, but I assume they're
all about tiny cars.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
So, Johnny, how long have you been doing this?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
And what led you to start creating videos on YouTube?
Speaker 6 (03:46):
I started collecting hot weirds, and then I started watching
videos on YouTube, search for them if other people are
doing it, and then I've found some stuff with those
orange track racing and then I started to do that
with my little boys. I have two kids, two boys,
and they both enjoy playing with hot weirds and monster
(04:09):
trucks and everything. So that's how I got into it.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
And so I don't know.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
I wanted to show what I have for other people.
Wanted to find some people that like to play with
tiny cars like me, So that's how I started.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Now, for those who don't know, you're based out of Germany, correct,
so tell me.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
A little bit. No, no, no, no, English is excellent.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I am curious because Germany is famous for its car culture.
In a lot of ways, could you describe the culture
around model car collecting in Germany. Is it a very
popular thing? Is it a more niche thing? What is
it like to be a car collector in Germany?
Speaker 6 (04:53):
I would say it's a niche thing. M scale mm hmm,
like the h oh, the H zero one, because the
whole Diorama building and train stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
That's true.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
To buy Diorama stuff in one eighty seven scale, you
have plenty of stuff you can buy, You have plenty
of stores where you can go. But one sixty four
is very small in Germany. It's just not very that's
very small. Is that changing changing? But but mostly with
(05:37):
hot wheels. Hotworlds is very famous here in Germany, so
most of the people are collecting hot wheels. And I
think then next thing would be Ciccu if you know it,
and then Marjoratt Margerrett is also big. But yes, that's.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
From David David on there.
Speaker 6 (06:01):
But yeah, the most people just know about hot woods.
So when we we have been with nig t on
the on the car show last year, the biggest car
show here in Germany, we have been there with minig
Tea and a lot of people were like there are
other brands than what with yep, Yeah, so a few
(06:22):
people know it, but it's it's getting bigger and bigger. Yeah,
so yeah, we tried to change it. We tried to
make it more popular in Germany.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
That that toy shore is that the one that happens
at Nurberg like a couple times a year.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
That was a car show, not a toy show, just
actual car show. Okay, an actual car show. Yeah, that's
very big one.
Speaker 7 (06:45):
Did you say that you started collecting when you had
your sons or were you a collector when you were
a kid as well in terms of die.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
Cast, Yes, I've been a collector when I was a kid.
I'm curious a lot of one eighteen scare stuff also,
but I was a and I collected hotweeds.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
So what brands take us back when you were a
kid though, What brands would show up in stores in
terms of the little die cast cars? What do you
remember back then?
Speaker 6 (07:14):
I think for me it was a lot of cars
and also Seco cars. Deico was very popular always see
in Germany because of the track jaw stuff and trucks
and everything. But I think I mostly collected matchbox and hotbirds.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
Yeah, okay, BacT with more die Cast Breakdown after this

Speaker 4 (08:26):
Breakdown, Johnny, What was the job?
Speaker 6 (08:30):
I mean?
Speaker 4 (08:30):
I think a lot of us can speak to starting
out being like hot wheels people. Hot wheels are the
most popular. What is it been like for you to
jump over into the premium? Because it looks like you're
deep into it now and I think David got me
into it sending me some coo. Well, I wouldn't in
(08:52):
the Seku's higher end, but like more so many GT
and so what's it like for you, Like, what's the
difference between the two free I know that hot wheels
are good for the track and stuff like that, but
I see you have a lot of cars displayed there.
You have a lot of cases that you keep all
your stuff in, because I think you open a lot
of your stuff, don't you.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
Yes, I open everything everything.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Yeah, so you have I'm assuming that you have an
area for everything and everything's displayed. Yeah, yeah, just exploit
displaying the difference between the jumping from like basic type
cars to premium For you.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
It's not it because I wanted to display my car.
So because when you when you have a big collection
and you can't see it, you forget about what you
have and you can't enjoy it. Yeah, like that, and
then yeah, it's not it with track racing. So hot
Woods and match Box obviously the best ones for track racing,
especially hotwirds. But then I have my first Shuco in
(09:53):
hand and one sixty foals gear.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Yeah, goes really nice.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
I think the whole line here in the middle, it's
only Shuco models we have from some hot words on
top and Revel, the Revel Riders and some Aushima and
here in the middle is only Shuko and at the
bottom it's Nigiti. So when I had the first, like
(10:17):
the first Shuko in hand, and I saw the amount
of details and all the little lens three hundred D years, like, yeah,
that's in I think two hundred D two hundred D
the old e class.
Speaker 7 (10:37):
Yeah, I love the wheels on that one color color
matched wheels with the Mercedes logo in the middle beautiful miles.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
So the amount of details and and everything got me
into that. And in Germany hot words, it's more expensive
than in the US. For the premium premium hot words,
we pay ten dollars, and Shuko is also ten dollars.
So I was comparing it and I was like, what
weirds Just how many cars they are producing I don't know,
(11:06):
like five thousand or a million from every car, and
Shukos like producing five thousand, so and they offer much
more for that price. I was like getting into it.
And then Minijit came out and they had the gtr
R thirty five, my favorite car, especially the Liberty Walk one.
(11:28):
So I bought one of these and then I was
hooked then I was like.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Oh, I'm selling mine if you want to buy and
ship it overseas.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
So yeah, which one? R thirty.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Yeah, yeah, twenty twelve.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
I love this car so nice.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Yeah, come on, come on over. I'll give you a
ride before I get rid of it. But yeah, I'm
trying to get a an R thirty three. I kind
of like the older stuff a little bit better. But
I love there thirty five too, but more of an
older older skyline guy. Yeah, me too.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
My favorite one is the Ken Marry my favorite skyline
or my favorite car anyway.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Yeah, that one's that one's awesome, and like the Hawkasuka
is probably my favorite. It's just a little a little older.
But the Ken and Merry ones is a very under
I think underappreciated one. I think people are starting to
like it a lot more because it's unique.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
I love the silhouette over it because like more like
in fathback, like the old Muss things. Yeah, so the
Ken Mary looks very nice, or like the Nissa Laurel,
like Laura Sihouette. They are pretty pretty nice.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Beautiful cars. You don't see too many of those over here.
I mean we have I have a buddy with a
ken and Mary and tacos and stuff like that. But
you don't see too many Laurels or anything like that
over here in the in the States, so not too
many of those. Yeah, so yeah, no, it's like we
I think Lee was saying the same thing. He's never
seen one in person up in Canada, and uh, I've
(12:54):
got two in my yard. But yeah, we have a
lot of them here up and it's specifically where I'm
at in the US. I'm in like Seattle, Ish area,
a couple hours from Seattle if you've ever heard it.
But yeah, there's a lot. It's a really nice area
for there's not like a lot of salt on the roads,
and there's not harsh weather, so they've survived there, like
California up to all the way up there. So it's
(13:18):
in other parts of you go to like New York
or that are they're they're all rusted out. They're all
gone pretty much. So they've all because they called the
build quality is cheaper steel and stuff like that, so
they tend to rust out and disappear. So there's not
very many left in the world, so they're getting pretty rare.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
Yeah, Yeah, that's that's the why it's especially when you
see something on the road. So yeah, yeah, but that's
what got me into the other brands. I was always
complaining about the proportions of the hot with cause with
the massive weirds on it, and I don't know, they
look goofy. Sometimes the gold is nearly the same size
(13:58):
like a dodge ram, right, Yeah, So I was always
complaining about it and always did. What was the big
thing for me was the missing site mirrors. I hate
when they don't have sight mirrors because how do you
see it? How do you see who's behind you? I
really enjoyed. I really enjoyed too with little dioramas with
(14:19):
figurines and everything, and one sixty four scare so all
the time when you take pictures of it, and when
you don't have side mirrors or like license plate, it
doesn't look real. So I wanted to make the pictures
the realistic as it can get. So yeah, that's way
easier with Mini g T or Shuko models. So sure,
(14:41):
that's why I got into the premium stuff from this.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
I will say.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I will say in High Wheel's defense, they are starting
to put more and more side mirrors on their cars,
Like I'm seeing more little stubby ones like the Mustang
that they just came out with with the map blue
finish has stubby mirrors.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
The Malaysian car has mirror stubs on it.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
There are some. There's not enough, but there are some.
And they're working with price point and manufacturing stuff. It's
tough to add those little.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Things to them.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
And I'm sure parents love when their kids leave those
cars out and they're on their side and they step
on those little side mirrors and they go straight into
their foot, like stepping on lego or something. So I
understand that they're for a different audience than than the
shutos are the minigt's, because you're not going to leave
those lying around on the floor usually. I mean, Mark might,
but most people don't leave their their minigts lying around
(15:32):
on the floors.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
So but yeah, I hear you.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
It was funny like the when I was younger, I
collected hot wheels all the time, and then one day
I had had hobwheels and matchboks and I pulled up
my little cement mixer and I pulled up a VW bug.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Next to it, and went, wait a second, there's there's no.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Way these would even be remotely the same scale, and
it killed it for me.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Like for years I couldn't. I couldn't, like I would put.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
The bigger ones over here and the little ones over here,
and I was like, and even then I was realized, Okay, well,
even like the VW Beetle is bigger than one sixty
four scale, because a real VW Beetle in one sixty
four scale would.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Be much smaller than three inches long.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
And you know, that's what they're scaled to, is they're
scaled to the track. They're not scaled to be a
particular scale. They're scaled to go down the track. And
then all of a sudden, in about five years ago,
I realized there were companies like AutoWorld and green Light
and Mini GT that we're making true one sixty four
(16:28):
scale cars, And all of a sudden I got interested
in it again because I like the big American seventies cars,
and those were never the right scale because they would
always be much bigger than hot wheels would standard be.
And AutoWorld had these big Buick station wagons that were
the true one sixty four scale. They looked so good
and we're proportioned right, and I kind of have weighty, yes,
(16:52):
very weighty cars and got me back into got back
into it. And so so you've had a really kind
of cool relationship with the Mini G I noticed you
you were in Malaysia last year hanging out with Glenn
and the Mini GT crew.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
So tell us a bit about your trip to Malaysia.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
Yeah, that wasn't totally crazy experience.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
That was overwhelming, so because in it was my first
time in Asia also, and I've been there with with
O'Neil from from Southern Diecast if you know him from
Australia one guy. I met him there and then we've
been in shopping mall and they had like one sixty
(17:33):
four scale stores just just for one sixty four scare.
I was like, that's totally crazy. Yeah, We've been to
three different stores and they were only one sixty four scared.
That was totally crazy. So they had all the premium
brands that everything you can imagine that you only find
on on eBay or anything here. So that was really
(17:56):
crazy to get in stores like that. And then I
was expensive walking into the store like that. It sounds expensive.
I have myself under control. But it was also nice
that you could buy all the Diorama stuff they had
ready diorammas, garages and everything and figurines. I bought some figurines.
(18:18):
I bought some weirds and everything. So and the whole
community there is just crazy. I mean, the the show,
the little export they did, They had like I think
forty thousand people just coming for one sixty.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Four Scale's a lot of people.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
It's crazy. I mean the people were standing four hours
or five hours in front of the door before they opened,
standing in line waiting to get in and to get
the exclusive models from Minigit, from pop rays and everything.
So that was a really crazy experience to see that
in person. I can only recommend it for everyone. So then, yeah,
(18:57):
that was we want to do that for sure.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
So, Johnny, we also noticed when we were doing our
extensive research of all of your content, which we do
for everybody, by the way, what I liked about it
is not only can you see the premium models that
we all love, but sometimes you get to see previews
of stuff that's not even out yet. And you've got
some pretty cool relationships. We touched on Mini GT. But
(19:22):
can you tell us a little bit about your relationship
with Major Et and some of the really cool stuff
that they're doing right now.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
Yes, I'm working with Madred for for a few years now.
I think it started with the Sugar Suco belongs belonged
to the same brand as Madread. Now it's not now
it's separated because Schuco is now with Spark and Get separated.
But Jada Toys and Madread is under the same brand.
(19:53):
So it started with Shuku. Then I worked with Madret
and Jada Toys also, and it's for I don't know,
like four years now. I think four years, I would say.
And I also have been to the head quarter of them.
It's it's here Nurnberg where the toy fair is held. Yeah,
I have I have the new products here, the new
(20:15):
Porsche to show you by. I have already shown it
on my channels everywhere. I think, I think everyone has
seen it now. But the new models, the new collector
line is very exciting. I think you have also seen them, John.
Speaker 7 (20:33):
Yeah, we we You always saw them in Las Vegas.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Yeah, very nice.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
So remind them, Remind the fans who are interested. These
are major at. These are a level of major at
that you've not seen before. They're really geared for collectors,
are true to scale and what is the name of
that line.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
It's called Collectors for Collection, sorry, collection called collection.
Speaker 7 (20:58):
Yeah, that that Intersex was one of my favorites when
we saw it at the Jada booth. Can you just
tell it's hard to see on camera. What are what
are some of the features of those cars that you
would get that you may not get in a major
head that you find in Walmart here right now?
Speaker 6 (21:13):
Yeah, First of all, it's true one sixty four scale.
That's a big difference. But then you also don't have
the opening paths. It's all closed now, but it's for
all the details. Now you have like lensed headlights now
and inserted rear lights and side mirrors and.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
I don't step on don't step on that one.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
Well, it's yeah, it's like the first line. Now they
have six different cars in it. It's the portion ninet eleven.
It's a Covett, also covering Chevy Covett, YEP, the Shelby,
the Honda, and also a bel Air. I don't know
if you can see it here. And also the bel
Air is coming. So I think they're really really stepped
(22:00):
up the game, and they they have seen that the
collector market is getting very big, and you have all
these competitors out there, like NI g T and everything.
I think they want to always say sorry, I'm using
the word Peter, Yeah, they want to compete with them. Sorry, yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (22:22):
Do you know what the price point will be in Europe?
I think in the United States if I remember Chuck Mark,
I think those were seven ninety nine and it was close. Yeah,
I believe it really really strong price.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
That's a shockingly low price.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
That's that's what I all say. They said here in
Germany it would like to be like ten dollars.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Yeah, which is about the same as like you would
hot wheels, the Hot Wheels premiums, because they're about eight
bucks here I think and probably ten bucks there or so.
A couple of yeah, they raised they raised the price
here in Germany it's twelve dollars now for its premium.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
I haven't bought them about one in a while, so
I'm not sure where.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
It's twelve dollars for its premium and it's fourteen Domini
g T, so yeah, that's yeah, that's it. It's not
it's not really more expensive. That's what some US collectors
always say. It's like Mini GT is double or triple
the price now class here in Europe, it's nearly the
same price.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Yeah, you would say that that's probably somewhere like eighteen
dollars or something like that if we found them as
a good deal online.
Speaker 7 (23:31):
When you say, David, we have to we have to
pay for shipping a lot of times too. Okay, Ani
did you note did Major Ette tell you like how
they're doing the the years of the cars that they
pick or ten years apart, So like the Porsche is
seventy five, I think the Corvette was eighty.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Five, Yeah, ten years.
Speaker 7 (23:53):
Yeah, so it's neat next year that we'll do like
a fifty six, a sixty six, a seventy.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
Yes, yes, they have like the ten year difference, but
I don't know exactly infrom it. I don't have any Yeah,
no proformation about that, certainly.
Speaker 7 (24:12):
No, that's about thanks.
Speaker 6 (24:15):
Maybe they trying to keep them in the dark.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Yeah, we're just trying trying to keep him in the dark.
But that's thanks secret.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Nobody knows what's going on over there.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
Well, it's just a it's a super cool model.
Speaker 6 (24:26):
I had a lot of phone calls with Mark Writer
and we had a lot of things that we just
a lot of things we discussed, but I'm not allowed
to talk about everything, so I don't know where the
line is there. Sure, so I'm allowed to show you
these three models and the other ones that are coming,
but I don't know the execut background of all these models.
Speaker 7 (24:48):
Yeah, no problem. Well thank you for sharing those with everybody.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
Yeah. Yeah, it's just a little bit.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
We don't We don't want you to get in trouble.
They're probably in the room with you, off off the camera.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Yeah, they're watching little A little red shows up on
his chest.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
He's like, Nope, nothing to see here.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Blink twice if you're safe.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
Yeah. The headquarters like five hours away, so I'm not
as wrong today.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
All right, Well, Johnny, you've been doing this for a while,
You've created this channel, you've gotten almost three hundred thousand subscribers.
Tell us what it was like to build the channel
and build that relationship with an audience.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
How did how did that start?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
And what have you been doing to keep people entertained
that you've gained three hundred pretty much three hundred thousand subscribers.
Speaker 6 (25:39):
I just I started on Instagram first, so that's where
I get in contact with some other German collectors, and
I get to know some collectors from around the world.
So that's what really got me into it, to get
connected with all the people around the world. So that's
the great thing we can do now with Instagram and everything,
(26:03):
with all the social media. So I started with showing
my stuff that I have at home, and then the
videos got a lot of attention sometimes and then I
wanted to create something special or unique, and I thought
about it, and then I thought about starting the ASMR
stuff because I wanted to always wanted to create my
(26:24):
own stuff and not use other music or other cool
sounds or anything. I wanted to create something on my own.
So I came up with the ASMR unboxing and the
people really liked it. Then the first brands came to
me and asked me if if I would like to
make some videos of their products or have to look
(26:47):
on their products and do some reviews, and that's how
it started. So a few brands came to it, and
then I was lucky to get to know some people
I was I don't know, and the at the right
place at the right time. So that's that's how I
met Glenn, for example, for Minijity, and we talked a
(27:10):
bit and That's how things came together. So the audience
liked what I did with the ASMR unboxing, so I
kept to it. I changed a bit my style. First,
I I made the customs of what we I started
with customs and started building dioramas with it, and then
I only took diorama pictures for a while, and then
(27:34):
I started the whole unboxing stuff and everything. So it's
like I reinvented myself like three times or anything started
all over and yeah, So first it was only Instagram,
but then I also thought about if I have the videos,
I can also upload it on YouTube and TikTok. So
I started TikTok, I started YouTube and everything, and they
(27:56):
have some There have been some videos that people really liked,
Like I have a small RC video. It has like
twenty five million views on YouTube. So that pushed me
a lot.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
To think people like this, So I'm gonna try this more.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
Yeah, don't touch the dial. Die Cast Breakdown will be
right back after these messages. Die Cast Breakdown is produced
in partnership with twice die Cast and Driven Dreams. Or
go on YouTube, check out their channels in the video description,
and subscribe for more epic die Cast content.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Hey, this is Larry Wood.
Speaker 6 (28:32):
This is Derek from Honest I Can It is a
chattering from Round two.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
This is Mike from Gaslands, s RTJO, Vita Shows.
Speaker 8 (28:39):
Champion DJK.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
And you're watching die Cast Breakdown.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
And now the thrilling conclusion of this week's episode of
die Cast Breakdown.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Yeah, I think I think we're we've all been on
the die cast journey where you start out here and
end up like way over here in left field. But
it's it. That's what's so cool about it is because
you can pick which direction you want to go in
because there's so many different places to go, like with
like hunting videos, dioramas, racing like you could it's just
(29:17):
it's endless what you could do. So it's just you
can go in order of what you want to try
out and what and when you're making content, you just
have to figure out what people like to to watch,
but not lose track of who you are and what
you like too. You got it. It's hard to find
that balance sometimes of what you really like and what
people like to watch, because you don't want to just
(29:38):
do what people like just to get all the likes
and follows, because that's empty. So it's cool that you
found that found that line of of what you like
to do and what you enjoy doing it, because if
you didn't enjoy doing it, you wouldn't be doing it
because it's it's a lot of work we as we
all know to make those videos and the editing and
(29:59):
all that stuff. But I think the ASMR thing is
really cool because I've got friends and myself, I get
stuck on videos on YouTube of that, like just all
kinds of different things, not only die casts, but you
run into like people cleaning stuff and the noises and
because it's kind of like it's just the sensory thing
for people. So it's, uh, it's it's cool that you
(30:21):
went down that and you found a niche for that
and people really like it because it's it's it's fun
to watch and listen to. You gotta listen to you,
of course, but it's stimulating, so it's it's cool.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
Yeah, there is a moth thing. It's it's almost like
you can you can feel the quality of the stuff,
like like you're having in your own ants. So I
started with scratching on the packaging and tried to make
a lot of noise in the videos. It's not that
easy sometimes because the packaging is made of plastic. The
(30:55):
so the noise it's is nice to hear. It's turn
its sound way up. Yeah, so it sometimes a bit different,
but I tried it. I think one of my first
videos that went viral was the Jada Toys, Fast and
Furius diorama with the house, the Torrento House. So I
tried it with that one. I opened it and everything,
(31:17):
so it got a few views on TikTok and Instagram,
but it wasn't really going And the audience is also
completely different. You have some videos that go viral on Instagram,
but they don't work on YouTube on TikTok, and then
you have a video that goes viral on YouTube and
the other audiences from Instagram and TikTok, they don't care
(31:38):
about the video, so it's completely different sometimes. And then
I tried to make an arm boxing in the AMR
and I made one with music from Fast and Furious
and the ASMR one I think had like ten million
views on TikTok and I was like, Okay, I'm going
to stick to this because it's way more creative, it's
(31:59):
more fun to do it, and the people really liked it,
so that's that's how it all started. I really enjoy
I guess some videos doing it by myself, I really
enjoy it. I also enjoy like like you said with
the cleaning videos that I really enjoyed it too, like
the old muscle cap videos that some people are doing
(32:20):
where they open the doors and hitting.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
The button clicks, and I do think that is something
that is lost on nuber vehicles. Like I mean, I
do think newer vehicles are are better in a lot
of ways as far as reliability and power and all
that stuff. But that click of like a headlight switch
or uhm, slam.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
The door so hard just to be able to make
sure it's shut, like you gotta like mean it yeah
old on my old all my dots and are like
you gotta yeah, and then the head drive it home. Yeah,
there's no, there's nothing nothing gentle about an old car
for the most part. And yeah, but it's it's really
(33:04):
it's Yeah, it's cool. I like to watch like I mean,
dry ice blast and I started doing that, so I'm
gonna start. Have you ever watched dry ice blasting videos, Johnny,
So basically like sand blasting where they blast paint off
the stuff. It's like it shoots dry ice particles. So
it's like cleans things really well. So I'll send you
a video and you'll be You'll be done because it's
so it's one of those ASMR things. And as it's
(33:27):
a visual thing too, because do you watch something get
cleaned and it's just like wiping off the lines and
making it brand new. You'll be done souin your whole week.
Yeah great, yeah, but yeah that makes me really I mean,
I was just watching some of your videos today. It
makes me want to try out some of that stuff
because it's, yeah, just it's something new and it's like
(33:49):
and I don't think it's when people when you make
something and someone does what you're doing, I don't think
it's I think it's flattering. If somebody goes off your idea.
It's not necessarily copying, because can always be a We
all get ideas from other people, right, Yes, when it
comes to like you're watching cleaning videos, you're like, wow,
there's I like the sound and the feel and stuff
for that, So why don't I take that and do
(34:12):
die cast? And that's our show was created off of. Hey,
there's all these tiny cars out there, and all these
collectors and people that do different things. Let's share that
with the world. Let's have them come on and just
get everybody's story, because a lot of people don't know
the story behind the content creators or the designers or
the owners of the company. So that's how that's how
(34:33):
all it starts. It's just doing something the same but different. Yeah,
we all get inspired by other people. That's that's how
it works.
Speaker 6 (34:41):
So, like like the work influencer says, we all get
influenced by some people. So I really enjoyed a lot
of videos from other influenzas on Instagram, and I get
ideas from it. So sometimes when I when I have
to do a new project, I'm searching on YouTube on
other influences, like how are they presenting the stuff, how
(35:04):
are they doing the lightning and everything, so trying to
get some ideas together. Then you pick some stuff and
nearly copy it some ideas or anything. So that's how
the whole thing works. So if people like to copy
my stuff, I'm just flattered about it. So that's just
a compliment for me.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
Yeah, that's the best form of flattery is just people
like copy here.
Speaker 7 (35:27):
Hey, Johnny could you, like, if someone is watching here
in the United States and they hear you're from Germany,
they might be curious, what does it look like for
a collector of die Cast in Germany? Now? Thankfully, and
you talked about other influencers. Thankfully we have guys like
die Casts do that go into the stores and the
Netherlands in France and and I'm just curious, could you
(35:49):
maybe tell collectors here in the States who are watching,
how hard is it or how easy is it to
be a collector in Germany? Like do you go and
find stuff stores? Do you have to buy everything online?
How do you add pieces to your collection?
Speaker 6 (36:07):
There is actually one store where I've been like three
weeks ago. I met a YouTube video for it. It
was the Sorry I picked them up? I have it here.
It was the first time for me to see Mini
g T about this one there DIMNIGT, Carprey and Tarmac Works.
So it was the first time for me to see
(36:28):
stuff like this in a store when we usually toy
stores are hard to find because I think because of
all the online stuff. All the people are ordering stuff online,
even Amazon or anything. You can buy every toy or
school stuff that you need for your kids. So we
don't have a lot of toy stores anymore, but we
(36:51):
have one here in our neighborhood. It's big. So if
I would want to buy Hot Wheels, some matchbox maybe
then and Maderid Madrid is also in store here, I
could buy it, but they usually are no stores where
you can find other premium stuff, would say, or other brands.
(37:12):
It's just Hot Words, I think so, and also for
us in I think in Germany. I don't know if
it's whole Europe, but it's we don't have All the
World or Johnny Lightning or M two or green Light.
We don't have these in store or anywhere to find,
so we have to all it online. I have a
few All the Words or Johnny Lightning in my collection also,
(37:34):
but we have to You.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
Had a car, had some cartoon cars too, right, you've
got you probably don't get those over there? Correct? Those
are no? Yeah, they're yeh.
Speaker 6 (37:47):
The I don't know. They sent me one package from
Cartoons two to have these on my channel also, so
that's the only way I could get it. I think.
I don't know if they're anyone in Europe or Germany
who's selling them online. I've just seen them in the States. Yep,
(38:07):
I've just seen them in the States. For now, I
don't know, but it's it's a new brand. I don't know.
Maybe it's getting bigger and then some of the of
the online stores will catch up. But it's sometimes very
hard to find stuff here in Germany. You have to
order everything online. Right, it's getting better, we have some
(38:27):
some German sellers now, it's getting better and better. But
I think a few years ago when I wanted to
have some Auto World or anything, i ordered them from
the US.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
Yeah, okay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
With one eighteenth being as popular as it is in Germany,
do you often get asked like why are you so
into one sixty four and what do you tell people
who collect on eighteens? When you say, like or maybe
trying to tell them that they should give one sixty
four scale a second look.
Speaker 6 (38:56):
Mostly I tell them that in one sixty four scale
I can collect that much cars, and just because if
I want to have I think I have eight hundred
cars on the wall. If I wanted to have eight
hundred cars and one eighteen scale and need a bigger room,
it is way easier to collect one sixty four scale
(39:17):
that's that's why I tell them, mostly because you can
carry them around in your in your pants, in your pockets,
I don't know. You can carry them around, you can
show them to everyone, and the amount of details it's
sometimes even better than one eighteen scale.
Speaker 4 (39:32):
So's a good point. Yeah, Yeah, it gets pretty it
gets pretty tough to collect those bigger cars, but it's
the appeals still there. I still want to get a
few of them, but.
Speaker 6 (39:42):
Yeah, I do have a lot of one eighteen and
one twenty four scale and a few one forty three
scale also, but I have to keep them all on
the basement so because it's way too much space to
have them here in this room. So it's way too big.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
Yeah, I think the I think the perception too for
a lot of people is that one sixty four scale
is still in their mind very hot wheel z looking
and very disproportionate, and you got big wheels in the
back and small wheels in the front and cartoonishy proportions,
and they don't really realize that there's all these much
more accurate, much more intricate looking cars out there. I
(40:24):
think that was the big turning point for me because
I was big into one twenty four scale plastic models
that I would build, and then I realized real quick
that I couldn't display them nearly.
Speaker 3 (40:35):
Like I wanted to. There was just not enough room.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
And like you said, the the fact that you could
have stuff that looks reasonably accurate for the scale and
have it be taking up a couple of centimeters of
space on your shelf versus like whatever, however many centimeters
eight or nine inches is and on your on your shelf.
So yeah, we're still we're still figuring out the system
(41:00):
over here. But yeah, I think that's a odd.
Speaker 6 (41:05):
It's two point five five.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
To one inch, so yeah, so eight times two point
five anyway, anyway, Yeah, I don't do math while recording.
Speaker 3 (41:19):
That's a that's a bad uh bad plan.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
We'll just be sitting here for thirty seconds while I
figure it out. But yeah, I think the economy of
space is nice, and for me, I think it's much
more interesting the smaller you get to get as accurate
as you can be.
Speaker 3 (41:35):
Like, I still feel like that's more of a marvel
of engineering for me. Like I think I think you're.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
More wowed by an incredibly accurate one sixty four scale
card than you are if you've got a accurate one
eighteen scale card, because it feels like that would be
easier to do.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
But you know, and I know that's not true.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
Because some one eighteen scales have very intricate like wiring
and tubing and stuff. Still, you can you can do
an incredibly lot with very little in a one to
sixty four skill card and make it look very very good.
So that's the thing that I really like about them.
But yeah, so where do you see yourself taking this
(42:15):
hobby as as somebody who's become, for lack of a
better word, an influencer in this hobby. What are some
of the things that you would like to do in
the future going forward with your content creation projects and
with your involvement in the diecast.
Speaker 6 (42:27):
Community, influence some brands maybe for a better way, or
like maybe start some exclusive models with some brands with
my name on it. That was that would be a
very great achievement. Yeah, that would be very nice. Like
Lemley is doing some cause with his name on it,
(42:49):
so it would be very awesome to have my name
on a miniature car. So hopefully maybe there's there's coming
something in the future. I don't know, if I get
the chance for you it could happen.
Speaker 7 (43:03):
Do you want me to put your name on this car, Johnny?
Speaker 6 (43:08):
No, please, no, please, it's even better.
Speaker 3 (43:13):
That's that's a pt cruiser right there.
Speaker 7 (43:17):
Yeah, we beg your pardon.
Speaker 6 (43:22):
Yeah, I thought it was a betle. It looked like
a yeah, no, thank you.
Speaker 3 (43:27):
No, almost as a cruiser.
Speaker 7 (43:31):
But no, Johnny, I want to I want to ask
my last question. We we have things that we talk
about over here, like stuff that collectors don't like about.
I don't know how some collectors acting in the United States.
What are some some things about the way people collect
in Europe that maybe you wish were a little bit different.
Are there anything that you can identify that that might
(43:53):
be different and would be interesting to us on the
other part of the world.
Speaker 6 (44:00):
Know, I think we have the same problems that you
have with the scalpers. And it doesn't happen that often
that you have people selling their stuff for the price
that would be accurate. So they all like selling the
stuff with so high prices, and I don't know if
they want to get rich out of selling two cars.
(44:23):
We also have these people like going to the to
the stores and buying all the hot weirls or buying
the whole cases to get the Super Treasure Hunts and everything.
What I really would love to people to change is
selling all the chases. It would be much nicer to
have only sellers who sell all the stuff and you
(44:44):
can actually find chases on your own. With like Super
Treasure Hunts, it's not easy to find them in the wild.
And also the other brands, even Tarmac Works, they have
the blind boxes now, but all the sellers they are
opening them and shrinking them back that you can't see it.
(45:04):
But that's thirty two weeks, two weeks after the say
they put the chases on sale, so you know how
they found them. So that's really sad for me, I
would say. And Germany it's the same way now and
it's even more pricey. It's like when they find a
chase from from Tarmac Works, they want like fifty or
(45:25):
sixty bucks for it, and that's I would say, way
too much. And saying with with like Kaido House Malls
bucks at least one hundred bucks, one hundred and twenty bucks,
and that's way too much and it's not fun for
for the collectors, I would say. So it was the
(45:46):
same with the with the Expo car here in Germany
the Liberty Walk one. Yeah, so there there have been
a lot of people coming to the to us and
they ask, well, what's it? What is it worth? And
I was like, if you don't, if you just care
about the worst of the car, you're not the collector,
(46:07):
and then please don't buy it, Please don't buy it.
But they sold out very fast and then a few
days later you can find them on eBay for the
trip of the price or I don't know. I would
really enjoy if people wouldn't do that and be more kind.
But I have some experience with with some collectors from
(46:30):
from Canada and from the US lately that that I'm
not knowing for a long time, but then they heard
of me, like some cars there that I was searching
for some US exclusive cars and they send it to
me for free. And I was like, no, you don't
have to send it for free, and they were like, no,
it's my pleasure. I'm going to send it to you
(46:52):
because you're not able to find it and everything. So
I would really hope more people would be like that
to so that the car collectors would help each other out,
just like when you have exclusive cars in Europe, we
can send them over and if you have exclusive cars
in US, you can send them over to US and everything,
so that everyone can enjoy the cars and not. Yeah,
(47:17):
so that would be very very nice.
Speaker 3 (47:20):
Well said.
Speaker 1 (47:22):
Before we wrap things up, if you had to show
people a couple of cars that you really think look
great in one sixty four scale, like, what are the
cars that you would show off?
Speaker 3 (47:31):
What are what are some of your favorites in your collection?
Speaker 6 (47:33):
Some of my favorites.
Speaker 4 (47:35):
I mean, I know, I know, you don't have a
lot to choose from behind you you.
Speaker 3 (47:38):
Have so few in your collection.
Speaker 6 (47:40):
And one of my my favorite Diecas cars is the
thirty five from Many T T That's a beauty. So
this is actually one of my favorite cars. And then
I have to get one. And then I have these two.
Speaker 4 (47:54):
Yeah nice?
Speaker 6 (47:55):
The Type two from me from Shuku It looks like
anation with Thomac works and next to it the YEP
Kerry nice.
Speaker 7 (48:09):
Johnny, do you have the Tomaka Limited Vintage GTR? Have
you seen that? Okay, I just have one Tomica Now,
they're they're hard to come by, I get it.
Speaker 6 (48:23):
I just have one. I think it's over here for
the dust off of that. I'm not an expert when
it comes to Tomica, but this is the Tomaka.
Speaker 7 (48:31):
Yeah, that's that was before they did the limited vintage.
That's a really cool era for Toomaka. I think that
Tomica Premium.
Speaker 6 (48:37):
Maybe it says Tomica Limited.
Speaker 3 (48:39):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 6 (48:40):
I'm really not an expert when it comes to Tomka.
Speaker 7 (48:43):
Sorry, no, no, no, no, not at all for those
those were great ones. So naturally the Volkswagens are going
to get a honored space in your collection, I would assume.
Speaker 6 (48:52):
Yeah, but I'm not. I'm not a fan of Volksmang nowadays.
Just I just like the old ones. I just like
the beetle h. The Golf you call it m K one,
the m K one and stuff like that, the Kenny
m K one and stuff like t T two.
Speaker 4 (49:11):
R thirty two. It's a good one. Yeah, y w
v w R three two d get w r was that?
Speaker 3 (49:23):
The was that the Brazilian one? Was that that one?
Speaker 6 (49:26):
It's an m K three.
Speaker 4 (49:27):
The Golf it's an m K three and it's uh,
it's one of the best sounding v dubs that are
out there. Besides like a Bugatti if you want to
call it a v w W twelve, the Italian v
W s Yeah, yeah, no, it's it's a really cool car,
and you don't see too many of them, and they
were pretty fast for the time and everything, and they
sound amazing because I generally don't like the sound of
(49:47):
a lot of those. You see them, that one sounds good.
Speaker 6 (49:51):
You'll see them very often in Germany, I'm sure.
Speaker 4 (49:54):
Yeah everywhere, Yeah, but here not so much.
Speaker 6 (49:57):
The g t I stuff everywhere here in Germany. Sure,
they that's the same even with Porsche. You see so
many Poscha here on the streets. That's crazy. I think
it's it's just because it's a German brand. The people
in Germany like or they love to to buy German cars,
so that's why you see them a lot here on
(50:18):
the streets.
Speaker 4 (50:19):
Yeah. I think one of my one of my favorite videos,
it's an old one out on YouTube, was it was
like a turbo charge three fifty Z and a Porsche
racing on the Auto Baarn and then there's they're both
just full out and then the MK one Golf just
just drives by. I'm like they're standing still and they're like,
w let's come. Like probably one hundred and eighty miles now,
(50:42):
so yeah, that's one of my favorite videos. I'd love
a good sleeper. Nothing like a nice sleeper.
Speaker 6 (50:48):
My dad used to drive one like an m K
two G sixty. I don't know if you know that
one that was really fast, was crazy and he raised
a lot with Porscha on the Autobahn and then we're
like on the on the next parking space, they were like,
let's let's check that gold Yeah, check it out.
Speaker 4 (51:10):
Hood, very very cool car.
Speaker 6 (51:14):
Yeah, that was crazy time.
Speaker 3 (51:16):
All right, very cool.
Speaker 1 (51:17):
Well, Johnny, it's been a absolute delight chatting with you.
Let's remind the folks again where they can find you,
follow you all that good stuff.
Speaker 6 (51:24):
Yes, I'm on YouTube, on Instagram and TikTok on the

check that out. We'll link to those in the in
the description down below. But again, thank you Johnny for
for joining us, and thank you watchers listeners wherever you
are for making it to the end of another so
dikest brick down. Remember check out Driven Dreams dot org
or we are raising twenty five thousand cars for kids.
Speaker 3 (51:55):
In need all over the world.
Speaker 1 (51:56):
You don't need to send anything, you don't need to
buy anything other than some tiny cars, and find an
area in your neighborhood that can benefit from it.
Speaker 3 (52:05):
That could be a food bank, a shelter for families,
local charities or hospital, children.
Speaker 1 (52:12):
Hospitals, churches, places that help people in needs. First responders
like to give them to kids that are having real
bad days. And then you just document it and send
it to driven dreams dot org and we add to
the tally where we're trying to get twenty five thousand
cars in total for kids in need world. To check
that out Driven dreams dot org. Anything you want to
say about that mark.
Speaker 4 (52:31):
It's just like David John says, uh, do good in
your hood?
Speaker 1 (52:36):
Is that every time I talk to him, he's asking
me about the good I'm doing in my hood.
Speaker 4 (52:40):
There's It's just the biggest thing is is just an
initiative to spread the word to give die cast to
kids who need it. Everybody's neighborhood or their city, there's
a need for it. And just if you have a question,
you can reach out to us and we'll do some
research and see if there's a place near you that
(53:01):
could use the cars. I'm sending some cars to the
UK tomorrow and there'll be some cartoon cars in there
and hot wheels and stuff like that for a small
class of kids with autism over in the UK. Somebody
reach out to me, and I always appreciate when people
reach out and say, hey, can you help, And I say, yeah,
what do you need? So it's pretty cool. So yeah,
(53:23):
you can do a lot of good in your hood though,
like locally doesn't have to go to the UK. But
we can get stuff all over the world too.
Speaker 1 (53:31):

Speaker 4 (03:19):
So there you go.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Absolutely and For those who don't know, you probably know
Johnny's channel, Johnny's die Cast. It has almost three hundred
thousand subscribers nice and three hundred and seventy three videos
all about tiny cars more or less, I don't know.
I haven't checked all of them, but I assume they're
all about tiny cars.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
So, Johnny, how long have you been doing this?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
And what led you to start creating videos on YouTube?
Speaker 6 (03:46):
I started collecting hot weirds, and then I started watching
videos on YouTube, search for them if other people are
doing it, and then I've found some stuff with those
orange track racing and then I started to do that
with my little boys. I have two kids, two boys,
and they both enjoy playing with hot weirds and monster
(04:09):
trucks and everything. So that's how I got into it.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
And so I don't know.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
I wanted to show what I have for other people.
Wanted to find some people that like to play with
tiny cars like me, So that's how I started.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Now, for those who don't know, you're based out of Germany, correct,
so tell me.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
A little bit. No, no, no, no, English is excellent.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I am curious because Germany is famous for its car culture.
In a lot of ways, could you describe the culture
around model car collecting in Germany. Is it a very
popular thing? Is it a more niche thing? What is
it like to be a car collector in Germany?
Speaker 6 (04:53):
I would say it's a niche thing. M scale mm hmm,
like the h oh, the H zero one, because the
whole Diorama building and train stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
That's true.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
To buy Diorama stuff in one eighty seven scale, you
have plenty of stuff you can buy, You have plenty
of stores where you can go. But one sixty four
is very small in Germany. It's just not very that's
very small. Is that changing changing? But but mostly with
(05:37):
hot wheels. Hotworlds is very famous here in Germany, so
most of the people are collecting hot wheels. And I
think then next thing would be Ciccu if you know it,
and then Marjoratt Margerrett is also big. But yes, that's.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
From David David on there.
Speaker 6 (06:01):
But yeah, the most people just know about hot woods.
So when we we have been with nig t on
the on the car show last year, the biggest car
show here in Germany, we have been there with minig
Tea and a lot of people were like there are
other brands than what with yep, Yeah, so a few
(06:22):
people know it, but it's it's getting bigger and bigger. Yeah,
so yeah, we tried to change it. We tried to
make it more popular in Germany.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
That that toy shore is that the one that happens
at Nurberg like a couple times a year.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
That was a car show, not a toy show, just
actual car show. Okay, an actual car show. Yeah, that's
very big one.
Speaker 7 (06:45):
Did you say that you started collecting when you had
your sons or were you a collector when you were
a kid as well in terms of die.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
Cast, Yes, I've been a collector when I was a kid.
I'm curious a lot of one eighteen scare stuff also,
but I was a and I collected hotweeds.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
So what brands take us back when you were a
kid though, What brands would show up in stores in
terms of the little die cast cars? What do you
remember back then?
Speaker 6 (07:14):
I think for me it was a lot of cars
and also Seco cars. Deico was very popular always see
in Germany because of the track jaw stuff and trucks
and everything. But I think I mostly collected matchbox and hotbirds.
Speaker 5 (07:32):

Speaker 4 (08:26):
Breakdown, Johnny, What was the job?
Speaker 6 (08:30):
I mean?
Speaker 4 (08:30):
I think a lot of us can speak to starting
out being like hot wheels people. Hot wheels are the
most popular. What is it been like for you to
jump over into the premium? Because it looks like you're
deep into it now and I think David got me
into it sending me some coo. Well, I wouldn't in
(08:52):
the Seku's higher end, but like more so many GT
and so what's it like for you, Like, what's the
difference between the two free I know that hot wheels
are good for the track and stuff like that, but
I see you have a lot of cars displayed there.
You have a lot of cases that you keep all
your stuff in, because I think you open a lot
of your stuff, don't you.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
Yes, I open everything everything.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Yeah, so you have I'm assuming that you have an
area for everything and everything's displayed. Yeah, yeah, just exploit
displaying the difference between the jumping from like basic type
cars to premium For you.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
It's not it because I wanted to display my car.
So because when you when you have a big collection
and you can't see it, you forget about what you
have and you can't enjoy it. Yeah, like that, and
then yeah, it's not it with track racing. So hot
Woods and match Box obviously the best ones for track racing,
especially hotwirds. But then I have my first Shuco in
(09:53):
hand and one sixty foals gear.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Yeah, goes really nice.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
I think the whole line here in the middle, it's
only Shuco models we have from some hot words on
top and Revel, the Revel Riders and some Aushima and
here in the middle is only Shuko and at the
bottom it's Nigiti. So when I had the first, like
(10:17):
the first Shuko in hand, and I saw the amount
of details and all the little lens three hundred D years, like, yeah,
that's in I think two hundred D two hundred D
the old e class.
Speaker 7 (10:37):
Yeah, I love the wheels on that one color color
matched wheels with the Mercedes logo in the middle beautiful miles.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
So the amount of details and and everything got me
into that. And in Germany hot words, it's more expensive
than in the US. For the premium premium hot words,
we pay ten dollars, and Shuko is also ten dollars.
So I was comparing it and I was like, what
weirds Just how many cars they are producing I don't know,
(11:06):
like five thousand or a million from every car, and
Shukos like producing five thousand, so and they offer much
more for that price. I was like getting into it.
And then Minijit came out and they had the gtr
R thirty five, my favorite car, especially the Liberty Walk one.
(11:28):
So I bought one of these and then I was
hooked then I was like.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Oh, I'm selling mine if you want to buy and
ship it overseas.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
So yeah, which one? R thirty.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Yeah, yeah, twenty twelve.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
I love this car so nice.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Yeah, come on, come on over. I'll give you a
ride before I get rid of it. But yeah, I'm
trying to get a an R thirty three. I kind
of like the older stuff a little bit better. But
I love there thirty five too, but more of an
older older skyline guy. Yeah, me too.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
My favorite one is the Ken Marry my favorite skyline
or my favorite car anyway.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Yeah, that one's that one's awesome, and like the Hawkasuka
is probably my favorite. It's just a little a little older.
But the Ken and Merry ones is a very under
I think underappreciated one. I think people are starting to
like it a lot more because it's unique.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
I love the silhouette over it because like more like
in fathback, like the old Muss things. Yeah, so the
Ken Mary looks very nice, or like the Nissa Laurel,
like Laura Sihouette. They are pretty pretty nice.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Beautiful cars. You don't see too many of those over here.
I mean we have I have a buddy with a
ken and Mary and tacos and stuff like that. But
you don't see too many Laurels or anything like that
over here in the in the States, so not too
many of those. Yeah, so yeah, no, it's like we
I think Lee was saying the same thing. He's never
seen one in person up in Canada, and uh, I've
(12:54):
got two in my yard. But yeah, we have a
lot of them here up and it's specifically where I'm
at in the US. I'm in like Seattle, Ish area,
a couple hours from Seattle if you've ever heard it.
But yeah, there's a lot. It's a really nice area
for there's not like a lot of salt on the roads,
and there's not harsh weather, so they've survived there, like
California up to all the way up there. So it's
(13:18):
in other parts of you go to like New York
or that are they're they're all rusted out. They're all
gone pretty much. So they've all because they called the
build quality is cheaper steel and stuff like that, so
they tend to rust out and disappear. So there's not
very many left in the world, so they're getting pretty rare.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
Yeah, Yeah, that's that's the why it's especially when you
see something on the road. So yeah, yeah, but that's
what got me into the other brands. I was always
complaining about the proportions of the hot with cause with
the massive weirds on it, and I don't know, they
look goofy. Sometimes the gold is nearly the same size
(13:58):
like a dodge ram, right, Yeah, So I was always
complaining about it and always did. What was the big
thing for me was the missing site mirrors. I hate
when they don't have sight mirrors because how do you
see it? How do you see who's behind you? I
really enjoyed. I really enjoyed too with little dioramas with
(14:19):
figurines and everything, and one sixty four scare so all
the time when you take pictures of it, and when
you don't have side mirrors or like license plate, it
doesn't look real. So I wanted to make the pictures
the realistic as it can get. So yeah, that's way
easier with Mini g T or Shuko models. So sure,
(14:41):
that's why I got into the premium stuff from this.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
I will say.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I will say in High Wheel's defense, they are starting
to put more and more side mirrors on their cars,
Like I'm seeing more little stubby ones like the Mustang
that they just came out with with the map blue
finish has stubby mirrors.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
The Malaysian car has mirror stubs on it.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
There are some. There's not enough, but there are some.
And they're working with price point and manufacturing stuff. It's
tough to add those little.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Things to them.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
And I'm sure parents love when their kids leave those
cars out and they're on their side and they step
on those little side mirrors and they go straight into
their foot, like stepping on lego or something. So I
understand that they're for a different audience than than the
shutos are the minigt's, because you're not going to leave
those lying around on the floor usually. I mean, Mark might,
but most people don't leave their their minigts lying around
(15:32):
on the floors.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
So but yeah, I hear you.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
It was funny like the when I was younger, I
collected hot wheels all the time, and then one day
I had had hobwheels and matchboks and I pulled up
my little cement mixer and I pulled up a VW bug.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Next to it, and went, wait a second, there's there's no.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Way these would even be remotely the same scale, and
it killed it for me.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Like for years I couldn't. I couldn't, like I would put.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
The bigger ones over here and the little ones over here,
and I was like, and even then I was realized, Okay, well,
even like the VW Beetle is bigger than one sixty
four scale, because a real VW Beetle in one sixty
four scale would.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Be much smaller than three inches long.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
And you know, that's what they're scaled to, is they're
scaled to the track. They're not scaled to be a
particular scale. They're scaled to go down the track. And
then all of a sudden, in about five years ago,
I realized there were companies like AutoWorld and green Light
and Mini GT that we're making true one sixty four
(16:28):
scale cars, And all of a sudden I got interested
in it again because I like the big American seventies cars,
and those were never the right scale because they would
always be much bigger than hot wheels would standard be.
And AutoWorld had these big Buick station wagons that were
the true one sixty four scale. They looked so good
and we're proportioned right, and I kind of have weighty, yes,
(16:52):
very weighty cars and got me back into got back
into it. And so so you've had a really kind
of cool relationship with the Mini G I noticed you
you were in Malaysia last year hanging out with Glenn
and the Mini GT crew.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
So tell us a bit about your trip to Malaysia.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
Yeah, that wasn't totally crazy experience.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
That was overwhelming, so because in it was my first
time in Asia also, and I've been there with with
O'Neil from from Southern Diecast if you know him from
Australia one guy. I met him there and then we've
been in shopping mall and they had like one sixty
(17:33):
four scale stores just just for one sixty four scare.
I was like, that's totally crazy. Yeah, We've been to
three different stores and they were only one sixty four scared.
That was totally crazy. So they had all the premium
brands that everything you can imagine that you only find
on on eBay or anything here. So that was really
(17:56):
crazy to get in stores like that. And then I
was expensive walking into the store like that. It sounds expensive.
I have myself under control. But it was also nice
that you could buy all the Diorama stuff they had
ready diorammas, garages and everything and figurines. I bought some figurines.
(18:18):
I bought some weirds and everything. So and the whole
community there is just crazy. I mean, the the show,
the little export they did, They had like I think
forty thousand people just coming for one sixty.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Four Scale's a lot of people.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
It's crazy. I mean the people were standing four hours
or five hours in front of the door before they opened,
standing in line waiting to get in and to get
the exclusive models from Minigit, from pop rays and everything.
So that was a really crazy experience to see that
in person. I can only recommend it for everyone. So then, yeah,
(18:57):
that was we want to do that for sure.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
So, Johnny, we also noticed when we were doing our
extensive research of all of your content, which we do
for everybody, by the way, what I liked about it
is not only can you see the premium models that
we all love, but sometimes you get to see previews
of stuff that's not even out yet. And you've got
some pretty cool relationships. We touched on Mini GT. But
(19:22):
can you tell us a little bit about your relationship
with Major Et and some of the really cool stuff
that they're doing right now.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
Yes, I'm working with Madred for for a few years now.
I think it started with the Sugar Suco belongs belonged
to the same brand as Madread. Now it's not now
it's separated because Schuco is now with Spark and Get separated.
But Jada Toys and Madread is under the same brand.
(19:53):
So it started with Shuku. Then I worked with Madret
and Jada Toys also, and it's for I don't know,
like four years now. I think four years, I would say.
And I also have been to the head quarter of them.
It's it's here Nurnberg where the toy fair is held. Yeah,
I have I have the new products here, the new
(20:15):
Porsche to show you by. I have already shown it
on my channels everywhere. I think, I think everyone has
seen it now. But the new models, the new collector
line is very exciting. I think you have also seen them, John.
Speaker 7 (20:33):
Yeah, we we You always saw them in Las Vegas.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Yeah, very nice.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
So remind them, Remind the fans who are interested. These
are major at. These are a level of major at
that you've not seen before. They're really geared for collectors,
are true to scale and what is the name of
that line.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
It's called Collectors for Collection, sorry, collection called collection.
Speaker 7 (20:58):
Yeah, that that Intersex was one of my favorites when
we saw it at the Jada booth. Can you just
tell it's hard to see on camera. What are what
are some of the features of those cars that you
would get that you may not get in a major
head that you find in Walmart here right now?
Speaker 6 (21:13):
Yeah, First of all, it's true one sixty four scale.
That's a big difference. But then you also don't have
the opening paths. It's all closed now, but it's for
all the details. Now you have like lensed headlights now
and inserted rear lights and side mirrors and.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
I don't step on don't step on that one.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
Well, it's yeah, it's like the first line. Now they
have six different cars in it. It's the portion ninet eleven.
It's a Covett, also covering Chevy Covett, YEP, the Shelby,
the Honda, and also a bel Air. I don't know
if you can see it here. And also the bel
Air is coming. So I think they're really really stepped
(22:00):
up the game, and they they have seen that the
collector market is getting very big, and you have all
these competitors out there, like NI g T and everything.
I think they want to always say sorry, I'm using
the word Peter, Yeah, they want to compete with them. Sorry, yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (22:22):
Do you know what the price point will be in Europe?
I think in the United States if I remember Chuck Mark,
I think those were seven ninety nine and it was close. Yeah,
I believe it really really strong price.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
That's a shockingly low price.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
That's that's what I all say. They said here in
Germany it would like to be like ten dollars.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Yeah, which is about the same as like you would
hot wheels, the Hot Wheels premiums, because they're about eight
bucks here I think and probably ten bucks there or so.
A couple of yeah, they raised they raised the price
here in Germany it's twelve dollars now for its premium.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
I haven't bought them about one in a while, so
I'm not sure where.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
It's twelve dollars for its premium and it's fourteen Domini
g T, so yeah, that's yeah, that's it. It's not
it's not really more expensive. That's what some US collectors
always say. It's like Mini GT is double or triple
the price now class here in Europe, it's nearly the
same price.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Yeah, you would say that that's probably somewhere like eighteen
dollars or something like that if we found them as
a good deal online.
Speaker 7 (23:31):
When you say, David, we have to we have to
pay for shipping a lot of times too. Okay, Ani
did you note did Major Ette tell you like how
they're doing the the years of the cars that they
pick or ten years apart, So like the Porsche is
seventy five, I think the Corvette was eighty.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Five, Yeah, ten years.
Speaker 7 (23:53):
Yeah, so it's neat next year that we'll do like
a fifty six, a sixty six, a seventy.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
Yes, yes, they have like the ten year difference, but
I don't know exactly infrom it. I don't have any Yeah,
no proformation about that, certainly.
Speaker 7 (24:12):
No, that's about thanks.
Speaker 6 (24:15):
Maybe they trying to keep them in the dark.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Yeah, we're just trying trying to keep him in the dark.
But that's thanks secret.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Nobody knows what's going on over there.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
Well, it's just a it's a super cool model.
Speaker 6 (24:26):
I had a lot of phone calls with Mark Writer
and we had a lot of things that we just
a lot of things we discussed, but I'm not allowed
to talk about everything, so I don't know where the
line is there. Sure, so I'm allowed to show you
these three models and the other ones that are coming,
but I don't know the execut background of all these models.
Speaker 7 (24:48):
Yeah, no problem. Well thank you for sharing those with everybody.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
Yeah. Yeah, it's just a little bit.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
We don't We don't want you to get in trouble.
They're probably in the room with you, off off the camera.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Yeah, they're watching little A little red shows up on
his chest.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
He's like, Nope, nothing to see here.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Blink twice if you're safe.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
Yeah. The headquarters like five hours away, so I'm not
as wrong today.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
All right, Well, Johnny, you've been doing this for a while,
You've created this channel, you've gotten almost three hundred thousand subscribers.
Tell us what it was like to build the channel
and build that relationship with an audience.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
How did how did that start?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
And what have you been doing to keep people entertained
that you've gained three hundred pretty much three hundred thousand subscribers.
Speaker 6 (25:39):
I just I started on Instagram first, so that's where
I get in contact with some other German collectors, and
I get to know some collectors from around the world.
So that's what really got me into it, to get
connected with all the people around the world. So that's
the great thing we can do now with Instagram and everything,
(26:03):
with all the social media. So I started with showing
my stuff that I have at home, and then the
videos got a lot of attention sometimes and then I
wanted to create something special or unique, and I thought
about it, and then I thought about starting the ASMR
stuff because I wanted to always wanted to create my
(26:24):
own stuff and not use other music or other cool
sounds or anything. I wanted to create something on my own.
So I came up with the ASMR unboxing and the
people really liked it. Then the first brands came to
me and asked me if if I would like to
make some videos of their products or have to look
(26:47):
on their products and do some reviews, and that's how
it started. So a few brands came to it, and
then I was lucky to get to know some people
I was I don't know, and the at the right
place at the right time. So that's that's how I
met Glenn, for example, for Minijity, and we talked a
(27:10):
bit and That's how things came together. So the audience
liked what I did with the ASMR unboxing, so I
kept to it. I changed a bit my style. First,
I I made the customs of what we I started
with customs and started building dioramas with it, and then
I only took diorama pictures for a while, and then
(27:34):
I started the whole unboxing stuff and everything. So it's
like I reinvented myself like three times or anything started
all over and yeah, So first it was only Instagram,
but then I also thought about if I have the videos,
I can also upload it on YouTube and TikTok. So
I started TikTok, I started YouTube and everything, and they
(27:56):
have some There have been some videos that people really liked,
Like I have a small RC video. It has like
twenty five million views on YouTube. So that pushed me
a lot.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
To think people like this, So I'm gonna try this more.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
Yeah, don't touch the dial. Die Cast Breakdown will be
right back after these messages. Die Cast Breakdown is produced
in partnership with twice die Cast and Driven Dreams. Or
go on YouTube, check out their channels in the video description,
and subscribe for more epic die Cast content.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Hey, this is Larry Wood.
Speaker 6 (28:32):
This is Derek from Honest I Can It is a
chattering from Round two.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
This is Mike from Gaslands, s RTJO, Vita Shows.
Speaker 8 (28:39):
Champion DJK.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
And you're watching die Cast Breakdown.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
And now the thrilling conclusion of this week's episode of
die Cast Breakdown.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Yeah, I think I think we're we've all been on
the die cast journey where you start out here and
end up like way over here in left field. But
it's it. That's what's so cool about it is because
you can pick which direction you want to go in
because there's so many different places to go, like with
like hunting videos, dioramas, racing like you could it's just
(29:17):
it's endless what you could do. So it's just you
can go in order of what you want to try
out and what and when you're making content, you just
have to figure out what people like to to watch,
but not lose track of who you are and what
you like too. You got it. It's hard to find
that balance sometimes of what you really like and what
people like to watch, because you don't want to just
(29:38):
do what people like just to get all the likes
and follows, because that's empty. So it's cool that you
found that found that line of of what you like
to do and what you enjoy doing it, because if
you didn't enjoy doing it, you wouldn't be doing it
because it's it's a lot of work we as we
all know to make those videos and the editing and
(29:59):
all that stuff. But I think the ASMR thing is
really cool because I've got friends and myself, I get
stuck on videos on YouTube of that, like just all
kinds of different things, not only die casts, but you
run into like people cleaning stuff and the noises and
because it's kind of like it's just the sensory thing
for people. So it's, uh, it's it's cool that you
(30:21):
went down that and you found a niche for that
and people really like it because it's it's it's fun
to watch and listen to. You gotta listen to you,
of course, but it's stimulating, so it's it's cool.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
Yeah, there is a moth thing. It's it's almost like
you can you can feel the quality of the stuff,
like like you're having in your own ants. So I
started with scratching on the packaging and tried to make
a lot of noise in the videos. It's not that
easy sometimes because the packaging is made of plastic. The
(30:55):
so the noise it's is nice to hear. It's turn
its sound way up. Yeah, so it sometimes a bit different,
but I tried it. I think one of my first
videos that went viral was the Jada Toys, Fast and
Furius diorama with the house, the Torrento House. So I
tried it with that one. I opened it and everything,
(31:17):
so it got a few views on TikTok and Instagram,
but it wasn't really going And the audience is also
completely different. You have some videos that go viral on Instagram,
but they don't work on YouTube on TikTok, and then
you have a video that goes viral on YouTube and
the other audiences from Instagram and TikTok, they don't care
(31:38):
about the video, so it's completely different sometimes. And then
I tried to make an arm boxing in the AMR
and I made one with music from Fast and Furious
and the ASMR one I think had like ten million
views on TikTok and I was like, Okay, I'm going
to stick to this because it's way more creative, it's
(31:59):
more fun to do it, and the people really liked it,
so that's that's how it all started. I really enjoy
I guess some videos doing it by myself, I really
enjoy it. I also enjoy like like you said with
the cleaning videos that I really enjoyed it too, like
the old muscle cap videos that some people are doing
(32:20):
where they open the doors and hitting.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
The button clicks, and I do think that is something
that is lost on nuber vehicles. Like I mean, I
do think newer vehicles are are better in a lot
of ways as far as reliability and power and all
that stuff. But that click of like a headlight switch
or uhm, slam.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
The door so hard just to be able to make
sure it's shut, like you gotta like mean it yeah
old on my old all my dots and are like
you gotta yeah, and then the head drive it home. Yeah,
there's no, there's nothing nothing gentle about an old car
for the most part. And yeah, but it's it's really
(33:04):
it's Yeah, it's cool. I like to watch like I mean,
dry ice blast and I started doing that, so I'm
gonna start. Have you ever watched dry ice blasting videos, Johnny,
So basically like sand blasting where they blast paint off
the stuff. It's like it shoots dry ice particles. So
it's like cleans things really well. So I'll send you
a video and you'll be You'll be done because it's
so it's one of those ASMR things. And as it's
(33:27):
a visual thing too, because do you watch something get
cleaned and it's just like wiping off the lines and
making it brand new. You'll be done souin your whole week.
Yeah great, yeah, but yeah that makes me really I mean,
I was just watching some of your videos today. It
makes me want to try out some of that stuff
because it's, yeah, just it's something new and it's like
(33:49):
and I don't think it's when people when you make
something and someone does what you're doing, I don't think
it's I think it's flattering. If somebody goes off your idea.
It's not necessarily copying, because can always be a We
all get ideas from other people, right, Yes, when it
comes to like you're watching cleaning videos, you're like, wow,
there's I like the sound and the feel and stuff
for that, So why don't I take that and do
(34:12):
die cast? And that's our show was created off of. Hey,
there's all these tiny cars out there, and all these
collectors and people that do different things. Let's share that
with the world. Let's have them come on and just
get everybody's story, because a lot of people don't know
the story behind the content creators or the designers or
the owners of the company. So that's how that's how
(34:33):
all it starts. It's just doing something the same but different. Yeah,
we all get inspired by other people. That's that's how
it works.
Speaker 6 (34:41):
So, like like the work influencer says, we all get
influenced by some people. So I really enjoyed a lot
of videos from other influenzas on Instagram, and I get
ideas from it. So sometimes when I when I have
to do a new project, I'm searching on YouTube on
other influences, like how are they presenting the stuff, how
(35:04):
are they doing the lightning and everything, so trying to
get some ideas together. Then you pick some stuff and
nearly copy it some ideas or anything. So that's how
the whole thing works. So if people like to copy
my stuff, I'm just flattered about it. So that's just
a compliment for me.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
Yeah, that's the best form of flattery is just people
like copy here.
Speaker 7 (35:27):
Hey, Johnny could you, like, if someone is watching here
in the United States and they hear you're from Germany,
they might be curious, what does it look like for
a collector of die Cast in Germany? Now? Thankfully, and
you talked about other influencers. Thankfully we have guys like
die Casts do that go into the stores and the
Netherlands in France and and I'm just curious, could you
(35:49):
maybe tell collectors here in the States who are watching,
how hard is it or how easy is it to
be a collector in Germany? Like do you go and
find stuff stores? Do you have to buy everything online?
How do you add pieces to your collection?
Speaker 6 (36:07):
There is actually one store where I've been like three
weeks ago. I met a YouTube video for it. It
was the Sorry I picked them up? I have it here.
It was the first time for me to see Mini
g T about this one there DIMNIGT, Carprey and Tarmac Works.
So it was the first time for me to see
(36:28):
stuff like this in a store when we usually toy
stores are hard to find because I think because of
all the online stuff. All the people are ordering stuff online,
even Amazon or anything. You can buy every toy or
school stuff that you need for your kids. So we
don't have a lot of toy stores anymore, but we
(36:51):
have one here in our neighborhood. It's big. So if
I would want to buy Hot Wheels, some matchbox maybe
then and Maderid Madrid is also in store here, I
could buy it, but they usually are no stores where
you can find other premium stuff, would say, or other brands.
(37:12):
It's just Hot Words, I think so, and also for
us in I think in Germany. I don't know if
it's whole Europe, but it's we don't have All the
World or Johnny Lightning or M two or green Light.
We don't have these in store or anywhere to find,
so we have to all it online. I have a
few All the Words or Johnny Lightning in my collection also,
(37:34):
but we have to You.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
Had a car, had some cartoon cars too, right, you've
got you probably don't get those over there? Correct? Those
are no? Yeah, they're yeh.
Speaker 6 (37:47):
The I don't know. They sent me one package from
Cartoons two to have these on my channel also, so
that's the only way I could get it. I think.
I don't know if they're anyone in Europe or Germany
who's selling them online. I've just seen them in the States. Yep,
(38:07):
I've just seen them in the States. For now, I
don't know, but it's it's a new brand. I don't know.
Maybe it's getting bigger and then some of the of
the online stores will catch up. But it's sometimes very
hard to find stuff here in Germany. You have to
order everything online. Right, it's getting better, we have some
(38:27):
some German sellers now, it's getting better and better. But
I think a few years ago when I wanted to
have some Auto World or anything, i ordered them from
the US.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
Yeah, okay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
With one eighteenth being as popular as it is in Germany,
do you often get asked like why are you so
into one sixty four and what do you tell people
who collect on eighteens? When you say, like or maybe
trying to tell them that they should give one sixty
four scale a second look.
Speaker 6 (38:56):
Mostly I tell them that in one sixty four scale
I can collect that much cars, and just because if
I want to have I think I have eight hundred
cars on the wall. If I wanted to have eight
hundred cars and one eighteen scale and need a bigger room,
it is way easier to collect one sixty four scale
(39:17):
that's that's why I tell them, mostly because you can
carry them around in your in your pants, in your pockets,
I don't know. You can carry them around, you can
show them to everyone, and the amount of details it's
sometimes even better than one eighteen scale.
Speaker 4 (39:32):
So's a good point. Yeah, Yeah, it gets pretty it
gets pretty tough to collect those bigger cars, but it's
the appeals still there. I still want to get a
few of them, but.
Speaker 6 (39:42):
Yeah, I do have a lot of one eighteen and
one twenty four scale and a few one forty three
scale also, but I have to keep them all on
the basement so because it's way too much space to
have them here in this room. So it's way too big.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
Yeah, I think the I think the perception too for
a lot of people is that one sixty four scale
is still in their mind very hot wheel z looking
and very disproportionate, and you got big wheels in the
back and small wheels in the front and cartoonishy proportions,
and they don't really realize that there's all these much
more accurate, much more intricate looking cars out there. I
(40:24):
think that was the big turning point for me because
I was big into one twenty four scale plastic models
that I would build, and then I realized real quick
that I couldn't display them nearly.
Speaker 3 (40:35):
Like I wanted to. There was just not enough room.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
And like you said, the the fact that you could
have stuff that looks reasonably accurate for the scale and
have it be taking up a couple of centimeters of
space on your shelf versus like whatever, however many centimeters
eight or nine inches is and on your on your shelf.
So yeah, we're still we're still figuring out the system
(41:00):
over here. But yeah, I think that's a odd.
Speaker 6 (41:05):
It's two point five five.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
To one inch, so yeah, so eight times two point
five anyway, anyway, Yeah, I don't do math while recording.
Speaker 3 (41:19):
That's a that's a bad uh bad plan.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
We'll just be sitting here for thirty seconds while I
figure it out. But yeah, I think the economy of
space is nice, and for me, I think it's much
more interesting the smaller you get to get as accurate
as you can be.
Speaker 3 (41:35):
Like, I still feel like that's more of a marvel
of engineering for me. Like I think I think you're.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
More wowed by an incredibly accurate one sixty four scale
card than you are if you've got a accurate one
eighteen scale card, because it feels like that would be
easier to do.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
But you know, and I know that's not true.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
Because some one eighteen scales have very intricate like wiring
and tubing and stuff. Still, you can you can do
an incredibly lot with very little in a one to
sixty four skill card and make it look very very good.
So that's the thing that I really like about them.
But yeah, so where do you see yourself taking this
(42:15):
hobby as as somebody who's become, for lack of a
better word, an influencer in this hobby. What are some
of the things that you would like to do in
the future going forward with your content creation projects and
with your involvement in the diecast.
Speaker 6 (42:27):
Community, influence some brands maybe for a better way, or
like maybe start some exclusive models with some brands with
my name on it. That was that would be a
very great achievement. Yeah, that would be very nice. Like
Lemley is doing some cause with his name on it,
(42:49):
so it would be very awesome to have my name
on a miniature car. So hopefully maybe there's there's coming
something in the future. I don't know, if I get
the chance for you it could happen.
Speaker 7 (43:03):
Do you want me to put your name on this car, Johnny?
Speaker 6 (43:08):
No, please, no, please, it's even better.
Speaker 3 (43:13):
That's that's a pt cruiser right there.
Speaker 7 (43:17):
Yeah, we beg your pardon.
Speaker 6 (43:22):
Yeah, I thought it was a betle. It looked like
a yeah, no, thank you.
Speaker 3 (43:27):
No, almost as a cruiser.
Speaker 7 (43:31):
But no, Johnny, I want to I want to ask
my last question. We we have things that we talk
about over here, like stuff that collectors don't like about.
I don't know how some collectors acting in the United States.
What are some some things about the way people collect
in Europe that maybe you wish were a little bit different.
Are there anything that you can identify that that might
(43:53):
be different and would be interesting to us on the
other part of the world.
Speaker 6 (44:00):
Know, I think we have the same problems that you
have with the scalpers. And it doesn't happen that often
that you have people selling their stuff for the price
that would be accurate. So they all like selling the
stuff with so high prices, and I don't know if
they want to get rich out of selling two cars.
(44:23):
We also have these people like going to the to
the stores and buying all the hot weirls or buying
the whole cases to get the Super Treasure Hunts and everything.
What I really would love to people to change is
selling all the chases. It would be much nicer to
have only sellers who sell all the stuff and you
(44:44):
can actually find chases on your own. With like Super
Treasure Hunts, it's not easy to find them in the wild.
And also the other brands, even Tarmac Works, they have
the blind boxes now, but all the sellers they are
opening them and shrinking them back that you can't see it.
(45:04):
But that's thirty two weeks, two weeks after the say
they put the chases on sale, so you know how
they found them. So that's really sad for me, I
would say. And Germany it's the same way now and
it's even more pricey. It's like when they find a
chase from from Tarmac Works, they want like fifty or
(45:25):
sixty bucks for it, and that's I would say, way
too much. And saying with with like Kaido House Malls
bucks at least one hundred bucks, one hundred and twenty bucks,
and that's way too much and it's not fun for
for the collectors, I would say. So it was the
(45:46):
same with the with the Expo car here in Germany
the Liberty Walk one. Yeah, so there there have been
a lot of people coming to the to us and
they ask, well, what's it? What is it worth? And
I was like, if you don't, if you just care
about the worst of the car, you're not the collector,
(46:07):
and then please don't buy it, Please don't buy it.
But they sold out very fast and then a few
days later you can find them on eBay for the
trip of the price or I don't know. I would
really enjoy if people wouldn't do that and be more kind.
But I have some experience with with some collectors from
(46:30):
from Canada and from the US lately that that I'm
not knowing for a long time, but then they heard
of me, like some cars there that I was searching
for some US exclusive cars and they send it to
me for free. And I was like, no, you don't
have to send it for free, and they were like, no,
it's my pleasure. I'm going to send it to you
(46:52):
because you're not able to find it and everything. So
I would really hope more people would be like that
to so that the car collectors would help each other out,
just like when you have exclusive cars in Europe, we
can send them over and if you have exclusive cars
in US, you can send them over to US and everything,
so that everyone can enjoy the cars and not. Yeah,
(47:17):
so that would be very very nice.
Speaker 3 (47:20):
Well said.
Speaker 1 (47:22):
Before we wrap things up, if you had to show
people a couple of cars that you really think look
great in one sixty four scale, like, what are the
cars that you would show off?
Speaker 3 (47:31):
What are what are some of your favorites in your collection?
Speaker 6 (47:33):
Some of my favorites.
Speaker 4 (47:35):
I mean, I know, I know, you don't have a
lot to choose from behind you you.
Speaker 3 (47:38):
Have so few in your collection.
Speaker 6 (47:40):
And one of my my favorite Diecas cars is the
thirty five from Many T T That's a beauty. So
this is actually one of my favorite cars. And then
I have to get one. And then I have these two.
Speaker 4 (47:54):
Yeah nice?
Speaker 6 (47:55):
The Type two from me from Shuku It looks like
anation with Thomac works and next to it the YEP
Kerry nice.
Speaker 7 (48:09):
Johnny, do you have the Tomaka Limited Vintage GTR? Have
you seen that? Okay, I just have one Tomica Now,
they're they're hard to come by, I get it.
Speaker 6 (48:23):
I just have one. I think it's over here for
the dust off of that. I'm not an expert when
it comes to Tomica, but this is the Tomaka.
Speaker 7 (48:31):
Yeah, that's that was before they did the limited vintage.
That's a really cool era for Toomaka. I think that
Tomica Premium.
Speaker 6 (48:37):
Maybe it says Tomica Limited.
Speaker 3 (48:39):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 6 (48:40):
I'm really not an expert when it comes to Tomka.
Speaker 7 (48:43):
Sorry, no, no, no, no, not at all for those
those were great ones. So naturally the Volkswagens are going
to get a honored space in your collection, I would assume.
Speaker 6 (48:52):
Yeah, but I'm not. I'm not a fan of Volksmang nowadays.
Just I just like the old ones. I just like
the beetle h. The Golf you call it m K one,
the m K one and stuff like that, the Kenny
m K one and stuff like t T two.
Speaker 4 (49:11):
R thirty two. It's a good one. Yeah, y w
v w R three two d get w r was that?
Speaker 3 (49:23):
The was that the Brazilian one? Was that that one?
Speaker 6 (49:26):
It's an m K three.
Speaker 4 (49:27):
The Golf it's an m K three and it's uh,
it's one of the best sounding v dubs that are
out there. Besides like a Bugatti if you want to
call it a v w W twelve, the Italian v
W s Yeah, yeah, no, it's it's a really cool car,
and you don't see too many of them, and they
were pretty fast for the time and everything, and they
sound amazing because I generally don't like the sound of
(49:47):
a lot of those. You see them, that one sounds good.
Speaker 6 (49:51):
You'll see them very often in Germany, I'm sure.
Speaker 4 (49:54):
Yeah everywhere, Yeah, but here not so much.
Speaker 6 (49:57):
The g t I stuff everywhere here in Germany. Sure,
they that's the same even with Porsche. You see so
many Poscha here on the streets. That's crazy. I think
it's it's just because it's a German brand. The people
in Germany like or they love to to buy German cars,
so that's why you see them a lot here on
(50:18):
the streets.
Speaker 4 (50:19):
Yeah. I think one of my one of my favorite videos,
it's an old one out on YouTube, was it was
like a turbo charge three fifty Z and a Porsche
racing on the Auto Baarn and then there's they're both
just full out and then the MK one Golf just
just drives by. I'm like they're standing still and they're like,
w let's come. Like probably one hundred and eighty miles now,
(50:42):
so yeah, that's one of my favorite videos. I'd love
a good sleeper. Nothing like a nice sleeper.
Speaker 6 (50:48):
My dad used to drive one like an m K
two G sixty. I don't know if you know that
one that was really fast, was crazy and he raised
a lot with Porscha on the Autobahn and then we're
like on the on the next parking space, they were like,
let's let's check that gold Yeah, check it out.
Speaker 4 (51:10):
Hood, very very cool car.
Speaker 6 (51:14):
Yeah, that was crazy time.
Speaker 3 (51:16):

dikest brick down. Remember check out Driven Dreams dot org
or we are raising twenty five thousand cars for kids.
Speaker 3 (51:55):
In need all over the world.
Speaker 1 (51:56):
You don't need to send anything, you don't need to
buy anything other than some tiny cars, and find an
area in your neighborhood that can benefit from it.
Speaker 3 (52:05):
That could be a food bank, a shelter for families,
local charities or hospital, children.
Speaker 1 (52:12):
Hospitals, churches, places that help people in needs. First responders
like to give them to kids that are having real
bad days. And then you just document it and send
it to driven dreams dot org and we add to
the tally where we're trying to get twenty five thousand
cars in total for kids in need world. To check
that out Driven dreams dot org. Anything you want to
say about that mark.
Speaker 4 (52:31):
It's just like David John says, uh, do good in
your hood?
Speaker 1 (52:36):
Is that every time I talk to him, he's asking
me about the good I'm doing in my hood.
Speaker 4 (52:40):
There's It's just the biggest thing is is just an
initiative to spread the word to give die cast to
kids who need it. Everybody's neighborhood or their city, there's
a need for it. And just if you have a question,
you can reach out to us and we'll do some
research and see if there's a place near you that
(53:01):
could use the cars. I'm sending some cars to the
UK tomorrow and there'll be some cartoon cars in there
and hot wheels and stuff like that for a small
class of kids with autism over in the UK. Somebody
reach out to me, and I always appreciate when people
reach out and say, hey, can you help, And I say, yeah,
what do you need? So it's pretty cool. So yeah,
(53:23):
you can do a lot of good in your hood though,
like locally doesn't have to go to the UK. But
we can get stuff all over the world too.
