Try and go to Hawaii man. It’s so impossible to see any JDM cars as peg warmers. It’s impossible. Depends on the state I guess.

very neat and tidy display! i like the batman, wonder woman and green lantern hws

It's a smart way to display HW cars on cork boards!

Let me just give an unsolicited perspective from an Asian collector. this gonna be long...LOL. Being from a region that is predominantly a Japanese car market, it is of no surprise that we crave for JDM inspired castings. During the last decade we have seen the burgeoning rise of global collectors and increase in JDM castings. This aint new, this craving for JDM cars has been there even from the start of the new century albeit not on the scale of the much larger Asian market we have today. Take for example one of the most iconic casting that was released back in 2010 - the Godzilla Nissan GTR R34 designed by the legendary Phil Riehlman. It went off the shelves so fast and is one of the most sought after and still fetches very good price in the secondary market. This was around that time too that Asian collectors has begun to grow. Fast forward to this day. HW and Mattel has already seen this rise, both in market and casting preference, for that reason that another one of the more iconic design was released - the Civic, which has a huge market culture in Asia particularly in the SouthEast, it was inevitable that they wont see the light of day in pegs and displays. From the R34, to the Nissan Skyline H/T 2000GT-X, R33, R32, Fairlady Z, Skyline C210, Datsun 71, Subarus, Supras, Evos....down to the latest - the Civic, the JDM hype is not just a hype but more of a cultural trend spurred up by the Asian collector demographic. This in turn spills over the US as demand for these castings has begun to be felt...and of course, the dreaded speculator and scalpers. This is no different from the clamor for great castings such as the DragBus, Dairy Delivery, Gassers, VW T1, Beetle, BoneShaker, Hummer just to name a few, that has more following globally. And here is where it will get more interesting, although Mattel/HW is already behind this trend as brands like Majorette and Matchbox has already had success on them, is if they release the more common commercial JDM design, its gonna be a flurry. the Sentras, Corollas, Pajeros, Suzuki (Pipes Peak anyone?) - heck they should also collaborate with Jack Chan and his Lancer collection used in his movies...LOL

You've got it wrong. Those JDM's were returned to the store because the scalpers couldn't sell them on the secondary market

Americans love JDM because they were forbidden there. Aust, NZ, South East Asia had JDM and loved them. Personally, the Hot Wheels scale for Honda's is way off CRX similar size to Hummer, which puts me off, but I still buy JDM as I grew up idolizing them (from NZ) probably as you idolize Volkswagen and Mercedes (which I have no connection with)

People ARE buying and collecting what they want. Scalpers ARE scalping what people want. Young generation love the JDM cars, in the US at least. They don't care for the VW or the Gullwing you showed. When I tell them I have a Nissan GT-R and a Porsche Turbo (in real life), all they care about is the Nissan. You just have to accept that popularity shifted.

I collect what I like Preminum or Basic & found One Ford Escort RS2000 Treasure Hunt last week @ CVS.. ! ✌

I knew you were European before I even opened the video, as JDM is the craze in both Asia and North America. I blame the Fast and Furious movie franchise for creating that craze, also most collectors dreaming about the Supra/NSX/R34/RX-7 are old enough now (between 30-40 yrs old) to be able to afford the 1:1 in some case (buy your childhood heroes).

Then you are missing a key part of being a car enthusiast. I was a Honda hater during my V8 days (Trans Am, GTO). Now I own an RSX Type S and I GET IT.

Ironically in 40-50 years the unpopular cars that got thrown away will often be the most valuable. They will be the rarest.

For me personally, it really depends on the JDM. The Civics and hatches are not bad cars, but they're just a little boring for me. But I do like Honda's other cars however, such as the S2000 and the NSX because those were true sports cars. My favorite thing however, are the the classic European luxury/sports cars. But mostly I just consider myself a car enthusiast in general. You also have a lot of new collectors that are into the whole street/tuning culture with JDM, so that also buys into the hype a little. The only thing I don't like about the JDM craze is that the hype takes viewers away from my channel, but otherwise it takes the attention off most of the cars I actually do like. So sometimes it all works out in the end. Thanks, I enjoyed this little discussion.

A scalper is a toy investor. Why are you telling people to not invest in what other people like?

Skylines are so overrated. Give me a Karmann Ghia instead. I do like older Hondas, though - like the N600.

Dessert Dragster is the only true grail

I blame the fast and furious franchise. I personally go for air cooled VW’s and gassers.

As a huge JDM fan (Especially of Hondas) from the United States, I was initially biased to disagree with you but I enjoyed watching this a lot. Compared to the Mercedes, Audis, Toyotas, Fords, and other cars of similar eras, the Civic is pretty damn boring looking. I think for a lot of JDM fans in the States at least, our love of the cars isn't so much from the design or looks but the culture, performance, (generally) reliability, tuneability/modibility, and notoriety of the Civics in subcultures of street and city driving/racing. My family only bought Hondas (typically Accords and Civics) and that really gave me the Civic and Honda "bug" so to speak growing up. Got into racing them, driving and owning Civics myself, and just started to collect models and Hot Wheels of them at some point. But I totally get how they can look boring and stupid compared to a lot of other cars from Japan and other countries.

I collect a bit of everything from jdm to semi trucks, some odd wierd stuff but i absolutely love american muscle cars and american trucks. Obviously there is certain castings that the majority loves that i also collect but sometimes im thankful that certain stuff gets left on the pegs so i can get it.

If there are any guys from Asia and South America - can you share your thoughts and stories may be as well?

I don’t get all the American muscle cars HW make, they sit on the pegs in UK stores. I would rather they made cars for each market

It's the scalpers homie. Most collectors I know love American muscle or German cars. If you're a fan of JDM, buy mini gt, or kaido, better quality same money spent with scalpers

It depends in which part of the world you live and where are you coming from. Where I live, JDMs are the thing to collect. This is mirrored by the car market, where Japanese cars are the most popular. Europeans models are next, but nobody collects American cars here.

I often like the peg warmers, the most. Sometimes, I just want to complete a set. The Acura from a Boulevard series, is my least favorite of the set, it's the only one I can't find.

JDM cars??? Please...

I DONT GET IT EITHER!

Any1 else just get this pop up on their feed?

WTF, where is your PSVR 2???????????????????????

I know nothing about gaming but this setup looks insane!

Sickkk bro

Dress like a boss! Always dress like a boss!

WOW 😲😲😲😲😲

How much do they stretch in waist after couple of wears ?

It's $16 right now. Great value! And I'm not seeing many reliability issues as compared to the Timex reviews out there.

Small pocket good for cannabis 👍🏻

This IS a fantastic jacket!

I wonder if this re-issue is any different from the original car?

Man, look at all these Batmen... :) Thank you for sharing, John! Awesome!

I’m a nursing student & this was so helpful!!! I have a g shock as my daily driver but did not want to have it get nasty in a hospital setting and wanted a quick cheap one I can put through the ringer. This was a very helpful review, thank you!

I agree. I prefer the newer controller all round more than the One Didnt mention the new texture on the triggers tho ! Good comparison video bro

the bit about bluetooth has been a feature since the One S i think

I am not a gamer but found this review very interesting... Thank you, John.

The mystery machine is awesome 😂

The Mystery Machine!!!!!!!😅

Dude where in Canada are you? It looks like there’s a ton of good cars there. I can only dream of the pegs in my area being so full.

Many guys I've talked to quit hunting as it is almost impossible to find anything - the first guy takes it ALL!!! Look at the markerplace - everyone is a scalper these days. The hobby IS ruined!

oh its for my friends.. you dont even have friends hahaha😂

National Parks series is awesome

Thanks for the breakdown! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?

Those 2-dollar bills are sick...

Those are very cool coins!
