- I filmed this epic flea market haul of toy cars and trucks, diecast, and collectibles, last month in March... but I've been saving it for a week when I didn't have time to shoot a fresh video. So sit back and enjoy this awesome array of 1/64 scale cars and trucks, among some of what I consider to be the rarest cars now in my collection. Beautiful examples of 1/64 vintage Tomica, Majorette, and some other really old hard to find pieces - surely no one will be disappointed here!

I'm a guy who started collecting Matchbox in 1965. The matchbox Mitsibusi Galant and the Matchbox Toyota Celica which you showed at the beginning of the case reveal are two of four castings that Matchbox had made in Japan as a test for that market. They were outside of the normal 1-75 series originally and later showed up in the line at different times... The number 73 Mercury Wagon in red was a modified casting of the green wagon. The sticker on the hood is usually a steer head. The sticker on your car is from the number 1 Mod Rod. However in the early 1970s, if one line ran out of stickers, stickers were grabbed from another line to finish out the run. If yours came with that sticker originally, it would be a very rare version. The only way to tell for sure would be to find that car sealed in an original blister pack, as changing stickers is not all that hard to do.
My dad had a lot of these matchbox in his original collection he passed down to me including the Wells Fargo truck. What an awesome score!
Those big black numbers written on the base will be easy to take off with alcohol and elbow grease. Your girlfriend is very understanding. A keeper!
I've still got one of those Wells Fargo matchbox trucks, but I've never seen one in such good condition. When I was younger I had a 1/64 scale junkyard, but it was outside. The little paint left on my Wells Fargo truck has turned pink from being in the sun, the plastic roof is gone, it's full of dirt, but I still have it for an indoor junkyard diorama that I'm working on.
Love those old Tomicas. Just bought Tomica n62 Datsun Bluebird U with those old type wheels. It have great details as taillights, headlights, grille and base. Those 70's Tomicas aren't cheap today, and hard to find.
Those big plastic cars like the Richard Petty one were tough and fun to play with. Great jumpers!
I know this is 3 years late but I just saw this video in my feed. What an amazing haul, brother. I mean...wow....what a fantastic bunch of cars. Really enjoyed each piece.
Thanks man, that was a great haul! Don't get ones like that every day! LOL
This haul is vintage loveliness my friend and the star of the show for me was the Wells Fargo armored van! Thank you for sharing this:-)
+Lamar Faciane Thanks for watching my friend! The Wells Fargo van is pretty amazing, especially in that condition. I've never seen one so cherry before.
awesome finds great video
Epic haul O-dawg! You probably didn't end up paying much more than international Ebay shipping in the end.. That Tomica Mitsubishi Fuso Bus is highly collectable in that condition and the fact that you found a Fairly Z, Toyota 2000 gt, Toyota Celica, Mazda Savanna, etc, etc in perfect condition is amazing!!!! The Tomica Mazda Savanna GT (amazing find) was sold internationally as the Mazda RX-3, another Japan Historics release! A quick Ebay search turned up only 1 Tomica Mazda Savanna for $40 USD so its definitely rare and even rarer in perfect shape. I'm extremely jealous. Just those Tomicas could easily run up to $400 on Ebay so really epic haul!
+Aleksandar M Yes totally agree, and thank you for checking into the prices and scarcity of the Tomys on eBay. I've been meaning to do that too. I've just opened your package this morning, check out the video I made of it later today. Thank you so much! Awesome cars, and the bus - wow!
Wow! What a stroke of luck finding these. Awesome!
+radar468 Thanks!
Wow that is a great haul! Great seeing more of those Tomicas!
"Grandpa's dead, here a collection, give it to the kids..." LMAO....another great one liner from my Canadian buddy!
+sub4ra "Which is a horrible thing....except, of course, grandpa being dead." LOL!
+Collectorofstuff LOL, it's like two great lines all wrapped up in one. I think my favorite line is still the deal about pa's slipper coming down on a die cast car.
+sub4ra I have a Hot Wheels Beach Bomb bus that the roof has been smashed in the exact impression of a leather dress shoe (the kind businessmen wore in the 60s)
MrWolfSnack Must've been a bad business deal gone awry and pa took it out on sonny boy's Hot Wheels?
sub4ra
IDK, might have been left on the floor. It was olive green so probably blended in
That Tomica 2000GT is a very rare model. Great haul indeed!
+xfiler100 Thank you!
Congrats !! Great finds on the Majorettes and Tomicas.
Good old days when there were nothing to spare.
You do a fantastic job, keep up the great work !
Those vintage Tomicas were incredible...I recently acquired a could old Tomica FJ40 Land Cruisers that are now my pride and joy...highly recommend you look into adding them to your growing Tomica collection
+Austin Batista I'm still on the hunt for a Tomica FJ, they are hard to find and expensive on eBay. Congratulations!
awesome finds - congrats !
thanks for showing these buetiful car i appreciate your videos the other day i went to a thrift store and found a bag full of old tomica lesney and tootsie cars there was at least 15 cars in the bag for 5bucks its amazing what you can find if your looking again amazing video thanks for the way you present the cars have a great day my friend
+Jim Hill Now that's a score!
Awesome findings! You've got to share this place,i'm always going to Toronto,where i have family,so i wouldn't mind on a stop by! Congratulations,you surely found yourself a lot of good pieces,and price wise it ain't that bad!Enjoy,have fun collecting!
+Carlos Dacosta Thank you! Many people have suggested I open a museum of sorts, I probably could now with the attention my collection has received on RUclips! Perhaps one day...
Hey man! that pair of trucks SCANIA are great, is a Swedish brand, very popular in Europe and Latin America, congrats! that model is the SCANIA 113 H or 114 H, both are very similar
very cool stuff
I love those majorette big rigs.
+Canadian Jaden Me too.
The Majorette Trucks are awesome. I had a lot of them in my youth. The brand Scania is part of the Volvo-company from Sweden. The price for the Majorette trucks is very expensiv in North-America. In Europe you can find them sometimes for cheaper money on Ebay in France or Germany.
+Friesens Diecastcollection Thank you for the information on the trucks! And yes it would be nice to have a larger supply of the Majorettes to buy from here, but I don't think the USA got these back in the day, so Canada's supply is heavily sought after (being a direct neighbor of the US)
+wtffor I have bought a Kenworth Truck from Majorette here on Ebay for 1 Euro this week. The truck has the Gulf decals. I'll show this truck in one of my next videos.
Those majorette rigs are amazing..awesome man...I really like that Cherry X-1 too..but the entire haul is Great!
+Hot Wheels CostaRica It was a unique haul, I have to admit. Thanks for watching my friend!
WOW YOU SCORED!!!!!!
I have boxes and boxes of old loosies and I there were a few tractors that I had no clue about. So you can imagine my surprize when I saw both tractors, one blue, one light brown on this video!! I don't think I have the trailers but I definitely have the tractors. I also have a few LaFrance tractors also, some with trailers.
I have the tractor and trailor NASA rig which is awesome!!
Love you videos bro!
I'm about fiddy miles north of Toronto on the southeast tip of Lake Simcoe in a small town called Keswick. I think I may have "axed" you where you were a couple of years back, but can't remember...where are you?

Great video! The Coca Cola Corvette I was told was made by Hartoy. They also made the 4x4 that was a knockoff of the Matchbox truck that looked similar ("Mountain Man or something like that).
+MrWolfSnack Aww yes! Hartoy, that is familiar. I have the 4x4 you speak of as well, they didn't have an interior, plastic base, and the window often could be found loose banging around inside the body. Good truck though! The Mountain Man Matchbox was superior though.
Congrats on a awesome haul
+Tex Tanner Thanks!
You can remove the "169" with some acetone since it is just on the base... It will come right off and not harm the car.. Great Vid... Love the bus and the stories!!
+baremetalHW Thanks for the tip! I always watch your videos as you have tons of great tips and customization info!
I used to have that bus !
That Cherry X1 is a Datsun 100A Cherry, my mum had the real thing when I was growing up, mechanically nuke proof, but rusted like mad. Great haul there bud, from a fan in the UK
The cars from that era were prone to swiss cheese metal... hence why so few exist in my country (snow and salt on the roads half the year). Thanks for the comment, and for watching my vids!
nice collection dude but i found it hilarious when u said scania. Here in Scotland every other truck is a Scania. lolu should check out the latest generation of Scania. Very impressive.
The coke thing was made by Zee Toys, I believe.
there is a Porsche in that Coke series too The Tomicas are my favorites of these
The yellow Tomica Mazda is the same that the HW Purple Mazda from the japanese series
Got a question. I have been hearing that the matchbox and hot wheels big rigs such as semi trucks, dump trucks etc.. are closer or exactly to 1/87th scale. can you give some information on what you know?
+Lucas Gresham I couldn't say for sure, as I don't have any of those newer trucks. But it is more then likely not 1/64 scale, otherwise I probably would have bought them when I did see them in stores a while ago.
I have a few vintage tomicas
I really wanna get some Tomica die casts but they are so expensive on trade me here in NZ.
8:01 [muffled 90s finish techno playing in the distance]

; 0
paint the head lights in on trucks .will look better
Matchbox during the early years were made by
Lesney.
The Coca Cola car is made by Matchbox, because I have a Matchbox that has the same wheels and opening doors, as your Coca Cola car.
are you going to do a video of all your 58 Plymouths?
+Tyler Vogel It's on my list since last you asked, I've just been really busy with work lately so only able to get one video out per week this month, that should change in June. In the mean time I must keep up on my regular hauls, Greenlight, and specials. I have not forgotten about the Plymouths though.
Okay thank you!!
Can you please do a vintage Hotwheels video?😸😸😎😎
+Josh W Yes, I am overdue! I have some new finds of vintage Hot Wheels to share too, so probably going to get that video out to you guys in the next two weeks or less! Thanks for watching
those viches tho
Scania comes from Sweden :D
+Tobi Melodeather Thank you for the info!
there was 5 more cars in the case on the left
I know, I'm sorry... I forgot those ones!
This flea market... Any info on it? Location wise?
+HugeSine667 I'm going to keep this one for myself... sorry...
Is that what this hobby's about? S'aight though man I understand ya.
The mercury i have in the red just the same but a buffalo sticker on the hood.
The other i have is in coolant green no sticker but is pre superfast wheels. That green one no ridges on the roof
Im in Australia
What does mint or minty mean?
It means that the car has not been played with and shows no chips or playwear.
Congrats on those beautiful minty tomicas. They are all little gems, and when you get them so pristine and shiny it's got to be time to dig deep.
I cringed when you said about grandpas cars I know of a heap that have gone that way, I just have to bite my lip and look on. Despite me telling my friends with cash to save them. Ouch.
The first 2 Superfast cars. Japanese matchbox ? I am looking for the missing 4 out of nine castings. Kinda in a research capacity as I don't think I will ever find them. Check Instagram kennyk_hw_oz. He has a pic of the 5 lesney moulds sent to Japan for release. Very interesting stuff.
+Kount Five Thank you my friend! They are little gems indeed. I'll have to check out kenny's collection..
I have the torus wagon if you need it I will trad you for something
+_Minecraftplays _ The big plastic one? What color is it? Very interested!
Wait a minute....Grandpa died?!? Can I have his cars?
+Collectorofstuff Me first! LOL
12:03 it also makes me cringe when parents let their kids buy a mint old matchbox as it could eventually meet its doom from being hit by a spade or something. Mind you i am guilty of this one.
i mean son
Too bad Tomica doesn't make their cars like they used too... They used to be so heavy and nice detailed.. Now it's a little more plastic and the detail sucks a little...
wanna sell a Japan historic set!?! I'll pay shipping and your price please
Scanais always spin out that suck
+Brockawesome eye Gunslinger Interesting... you drove these trucks I take it?
