Questions Answered and up coming Videos and Reviews

Hello Readers,

I've been asked about the name change so here is an answer..

   Roughly one year ago or more, I've decided on a new YouTube Channel then blog called Martinsdiecastreview. The reason for the change was mainly to sound more professional. After all, this hobby is for my enjoyment, but it is more than that to me. I live for die cast and reviews. I've been collecting nearly my whole life. I still have cars in their package from the 90's! Reviews came around 2009/2010. That year, my first die cast related video was uploaded. It was about showing people that Matchbox made a mistake with call a model by the wrong name plus showing off new castings and releases. For those from the beginning know it bugs me that the International Workstar brush truck was mislabeled. The truck itself was an International 7600 which was made by International from 2003 to 2007. In 2008, International redesigned the truck and dropped the numbers for names. The 7600 became the Workstar. The video took off! I mean it had more views than my other videos at that time. That's when I decided to do reviews. After all that, I started showing off my Matchbox Fire and police Department. I will post the original videos below.


   New videos will be coming out shortly. Tonight, I'll upload a new video to Martinsdiecastreview. With that in mind, I will also post a written review on the blog. Other videos will be coming in the next few days. Greenlight, Matchbox, First Gear, Hot Wheels and so on related. As for my other channels, I will post there too. 

   Since it's becoming harder and harder to keep up with my busy schedule, I've enlisted a good friend of mine whom is a better writer. His name is Adam and he will try his best at it. Please be kind as he is new to this hobby.

Please enjoy these "throw back" videos!

First Gear Ram Trucks

Welcome,

    Are First Gear trucks low end or high end? This is a question that is asked often and I always have this to say.

"First Gear is a brand that is beyond high end and the details are above high expectations."

   With this in mind, I would like to add the fact that the models are more for the older collectors. I got my first, First Gear truck when I was either going to 6th grade or already in that grade. The funny thing about my first truck was the fact that it is a truck I find so ugly and don't even like. For those who know me well, know that I do not like the Mack R model. Ever since I was a kid, I just found it to be ugly. Anyway, that truck started my First Gear collection. The other thing I would like to mention is that you have to be very careful with these trucks. Some of them have small parts which could in fact be broken off.


   Now lets get into this new model! For all you First Gear fans, I cannot wait to get my hands on the new Dodge Ram 5500. I'm sure some of you will feel the same way. Take a look at this beauty!

Best part is, another release of it!

Overall, I am excited and will most likely go crazy and get them. The trucks are scaled at 1/34. Yes, there are moving parts. The boom moves up and down plus turns 360 degrees. The boom extends which is a plus if you're setting up a display to showcase these lovely trucks! For those who do customs, the chassis is perfect!

Incase you were wondering, these models are $85 a piece and well worth it!

Thank you for reading and I hope you will find these models to your liking. Info and pictures are from First gears website.
