What model car brand are you collecting right now?! 🎉🎉🎉
There's definitely the "race series/type" collectors. I myself collect mainly Endurance and JGTC/Super GT model cars.
Oh absolutely good point!! 🎉🎉
More like a "Motorsport Deicast Collector and those guys are more serious than JDM Nerds.
Exactly I'm someone who is more specified in this category as well, I'm a motorsport Porsche collector. I like Porsches that actually raced in the past and especially the ones that achieved good results like winners of 24h of Le Mans.
You missed the most basic one.
Ooo cool car, I'll buy that. Type of collector
yeah surely im not the only one who collects solely because they are into cars and buys model cars based on cars they like in real life no matter the diecast brand
I collect every models which it's... 1/64 scale.
Relatable
I was 1 but now I'm moving more to 3.
I have to, to keep my collection under control.
Haha word
I think I'm close to the 1st type, but without the FOMO. I collect all makes, models and scales but only of cars I find interesting (which is a lot of different cars 😅). I don't feel the need to have everything though, if I find it in store I'll get it but I rarely order online (way too easy to go overboard) & same goes for pre-orders. I know what I like but I also appreciate what I already have in my collection.
Hahahah, there we go!
I have been a Tarmac works collector for almost a year now. I'm glad I got into the hobby because I like cars and it brings me joy. I choose Tarmac works for the quality (not the best but really good for the money) and the variety of make because I like European, American and Japanese cars and happily they tick all those boxes. At first I bought some older models because some of the fomo hit me but now I've calmed down and pick from their new releases.
💯 💯
I'm a Ferrari only collector in 1/18 and opening parts. Not interested in sealed resin at all. It must open. I have Bburagos, Hot Wheels Elite, Kyosho, BBR, CMC and Exoto
Super nice!
I avoid metal diecast (zinc) because the (Chinese) quality control is lacking with the metal. I have too many of these models that have developed what some call zinc-pest. It can ruin the paint, and even the model. This is why some manufacturers have gone to resin, and these models should last a very long time.
Theres also the "Investment Collector" they collect whats valuable or what will acumulate value over time. Its not for persna, nostalgia, or brand loyalty.
They still are collectors Technically i guess.
In my opinion, those aren't real collectors. Those are more or less "hustlers" or "scalpers" haha
I’m a 2 and 4 and also what you mentioned collector hahahah. People tell me all the time you should just enjoy it it’s just a hobby lol. Same people who will complain why my models is $1000 USD plus lol when it’s just a model. I rather buy something expensive and quality that will accumulate value as if I do sell it I will never lose money🤣
@@modelcarshouston Fair point!
@@modelcarshoustonfacts!
I’d consider myself a scale collector. I only collect 1/64s and I usually just buy whats cool whilst keeping an eye on my favorite brands. Though 1/43 and some 1/18 have caught my attention
I'm not any of them as I have many different brands modles and sizes from a lot of different model manufacturers and only get what I like and when I can afford it
That's the best way to do it actually.
I like 1/64 scale as long as the headlights and tailights are lensed
I'm a soft version of the first collector. I love 1:64 and 1:18 and my taste in automobiles is VAST.
But, I don't need to have "anything and everything."
I'm also sort of a brand collector at heart. If MakeUp made everything I love, I'd likely buy from just them.
If I'm buying a 1:18 jdm, if it's not MakeUp, it's IG.
I’m 1 and 4. “I appreciate a fine body regardless of make.”The 1/24 scale 69 Daytona hemi head with the 4spd is parked right next to my Hammer Road Runner. Go through sets of tires daily.
Looks like I fall into a 1:64 Personal Collector.
I collect what type of car exust, either in Video game or Real Life motorsport whatever brand it is, as long as it's accurate in the existing model.
I’m more of a collector who collects based on themes and scales. For example, in 1/18 scale I’m focusing only on JDMs while in 1/24 scale I kinda collect all the Sports, Super and Hypercars.
Excellent
I am an "Influence Collector" because, the reason why i collect some diecast because from Racing Games like Gran Turismo, Need for Speed and any other titled games has been released before i jump to diecast.
Oh, that's a good one!
I consider myself a Brand + Model + Ease of access type person. For example, I love Nissan Skyline R34. if Inno64 has produced detailed scale 1/64 Nissan Skyline GTR R34 at affordable price, easy to get. non-chase everywhere. Then I'll only collect full range of R34s in Inno64 like a perfectionist.
c-c-c-c-c-combo breaker!
I'd consider myself a budget minded 1/18 "Nostalgia" collector. Mostly cars that have had some sort of liking/impact to me growing up through the 90's (most, but not limited to): Exotics/Supercars, some obscure common and attainable production models, and race models (FIA GT Endurance, Trans Am, CART, F1, etc). Nostalgia goggles on, it seemed like such an amazing decade for cars and racing. I do try to stick to a list of models that are a priority first, this way things don't get out of hand and the shelves don't have too much filler.
I would add a valetudinarian type, when you set a plan what you collect and after few months you change your mind, sell everything and go other direction. Later on you do the same again. And again. And, well, you know what I mean :D.
I started as #1, then a broke #3 (see my first point), and now I'm a #2. It's a bell curve for sure when you start out, and I went bananas spending money on FOMO. It's really hard I think when you start out not to have some level of FOMO, or even just wanting to feel like a completionist, which as I found out, is nearly impossible unless you're willing to spend serious, and I mean SERIOUS, money.
I’m the worst totally addicted! I need more 😂 the FOMO is real 😂
I actually collect a large variety of stuff: F1, WRC/Group B Rally, Super/Hypercars, JDM, race cars and classic cars.
I'm basically 2, 3, and 4. all a small mix
Word!
i have this tendency to collect rolling pieces but there is an exception when I bought the Ferrari gt3/gte pieces from tarmac that does not roll properly. I dont know but those pieces are rare because its a ferrari with licensing from them. Plus it's hard to get Ferrari's licensing for diecast personally i collect what i like. I have 180sx from microturbo, minigt lbwk lambo & nissan gtr, tarmac ferrari, ministation rwb, poprace rwb, hotwheels rwb. small collection where i can showcase all of them.
I'm genuinely why people like rolling pieces? Does it feel more real? Does it give some sense of worth?
It gives that sense of realness when collecting a rolling piece. Ofcux it would not compare to owning a real car but thats how it feels to me. Its like buying a car in real life but in 1/64, 1/43, 1/18 size version compared from the real 1/1. Especially when its highly detailed.
@@machxisgaming3409 Tarmac Works HOBBY64 models may or may not roll (even if they do, not as smoothly as the less expensive GLOBAL64 lineup) as they focus on authentic ride height. If I do get a 1/18 scale model, it has to roll and sport functioning steering & opening parts as the scale should be sufficiently large to include these features without really sacrificing other aspects.
If it's something like Amalgam, God, the 1/8 scale models sport details and features like no other, but cost as much as an actual car. 😱
Everything which licence, less main line. Mini GT , Inno64,Tomica .
I only collect 1:18 scale and I’m predominantly JDM cars, I want to eventually move onto auto art super cars once I have built up a big enough JDM collection!!!
TYPE 5 COLLECTOR - QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
TYPE 6 COLLECTOR -
CHEAPER $ COLLECTOR
Personal collector and proud Ive kept it like that since the beginning. Tends to keep the collection to a fair size, or does it? 😅
Hope your doing good James!
I am a 1/64 scale model die-cast car collector
I know it almost doesnt make sense but i am all of them
LOL
I just collect mustang and inno64 😅
Lol
I'm a honda collector
Nice!
I like to collect Chevy Trucks and Honda Civics mainly, I like kaido house, Mini GT and just ogt some hobby japan I preordered from you
I am a general collector not in any of these categories really. I collect everything from Hot Wheels to higher end diecast and everything in between.
I'm trying to go from a 'got to have it all' collector to the 'make and model'collector, but it is very hard to say goodbye to a large amount of modelcars I love. So have you got any tips? Maybe that's even a great video idea?
A trick I use is to go through your collection often, especially if a portion of it is not displayed/stored away. Eventually you may find pieces you aren't passionate about/interested in anymore that you can purge out. Being current on future releases is great but enjoying what you have more important.
Keep those that you're a TOTAL sucker for.
Maybe I'm 2nd and 4th type
I mean my main collection goal is concept cars and American cars made between 1972-1995
i collect every car in any scale....if it's a japanese car
I'm a noob collector...
😆
i’m a brand collector…mini gt
add another type
If it doesn't roll, then it'll get a scroll
a car which doesn't roll gets ignored instantly, don't care what details they add, they skipped the most important details
🤔🤔
