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!

Not so Popular Castings

Welcome Back!


       We all know those castings that no one likes. They are usually the ones that sit on the pegs for the longest time. It seems like every toy maker has them. Below pictured are some of the ones I've seen.


Most recently, I've found this casting and decided to have a little fun. Look how many I've found! 9 but I'll correct myself. I actually found 10. I missed one on the bottom.

 

Here are some other examples I've taken from my Instagram!


This release of the redlines sat on the pegs for a while. I don't think any of the models from the case were popular. It seemed that the Blazer was the least favorite.



Retro Entertainment models that don't sell. A lot of these are still sitting on pegs. It's a shame.

Even Matchbox has some castings that don't sell. Lucky for us, these are gone. Maybe some crazy collector bought them?





The first release of Jeeps....Those didn't move. Why? They weren't exclusive models. The second releases were. All my stores are out of them. Overall, generic models don't sell. Don't get me started on Jurassic World. Those models didn't even want to move...

Few others;
GreenLight -US Army International Box Truck.

Racing Champs - Everything but chase pieces.

M2 - VW buses from Fathers day 2015.
