Diecast Breakdown (Flying Valiant)

In this episode of Diecast Breakdown we talk about the worldwide reach of diecast collecting and customizing. We share the latest in diecast releases around the world, obscure diecast brands we think you should check out, and we talk with Europe's most popular diecast hunter Diecast Dude about how he got into the hobby, what excites him most about collecting, and how he grew such a strong following on YouTube with just a mobile phone.

I know. We can't believe it either. Yogie and Vira of Jakarta Diecast Project sat down with the Diecast Breakdown crew to chat about why he quit his day job to pursue a career as a professional content creator on YouTube, how he got his start customizing diecast cars, the customizing challenge he wants to master next, and how he grew from an amateur with a mobile phone camera to over 1.2 million subscribers in less than four years. He also explains why he's never sold one of his customs and what's next for his trailblazing channel. Plus, you'll hear what's exciting us in the world of diecast collecting and customizing, and get a sneak peek at one of our next guests. You won't want to miss this one, so sit back and enjoy!

What's your favorite movie or TV car? Odds are in your top 5 list, Fireball Tim Lawrence is directly connected to at least two of them. Like anyone watching this show, Fireball (that's his legal first name) got his start in the world of cars in diecast miniature form. Fireball took that early passion and channeled it into designing some of the most iconic cars in movie and TV history. We talk about the inspiration behind some of those cars, Fireball's motivations to follow and achieve his dreams, and what he finds even BETTER than seeing one of his designs on the silver screen.

When it comes to restoring Matchbox garage, it's hard to not think of Matchbox Garage. Rob has been making works of art out of seemingly destroyed diecast vehicles.

Also, @Datsunman Diecast takes us through that it takes to make a good diecast based Instagram account, and the pros and cons of Instagram vs YouTube for the hobby.

"Scalping" for the lack of a better word, is when opportunistic folks snatch up desirable diecast vehicles and flip them for much more than they paid for them. It's a common problems in many hobbies and in the world of diecast becoming harder and harder to find Super Treasure Hunts and other "chase" cars where they're meant to be found: on the pegs at the store. A recent video from @ShawnNicklaus has gone viral showing grown adults forcing open doors and fist-fighting over Super Treasure Hunts that had their card ruined in the process. When does this behavior end? We're talking live about possible solutions and we'll be taking your hot takes LIVE. Join us, shall you?

For Felix Kwong, @tarmacworks is a dream job come true. Always a fan of cars large and small, the opportunity to create his own brand of cars was too good to pass up, but while it is his company, he makes sure that his team has plenty of input when it comes to cars and designs. He welcomes collaborations with all sorts of brands and creators, making Tarmac Works one of the most dynamic brands in the game. We talk with Felix about Tarmac Works getting into Grand Prix racing, the Tarmac Works commitment to giving back, and Mark makes Felix an offer he can't refuse! Don't miss it.

While the Junkyard Joust channel is relatively new, Aaron Yonda is no stranger to YouTube. His previous projects including the hit "Chad Vader" series in the early days of the platform and Beer and Boardgames on the @blamesocietyfilms channel have collected millions of views and nearly a quarter-million subscribers. So why create a completely separate channel dedicated to crashing tiny cars? We sit down with Aaron to talk about the journey to jousting, where the inspiration arose, how the community is responding, and where he sees his project going (possibly a town near you!). From vintage Hot Wheels to mint-fresh Auto World castings to rare RLC editions. Any car in Aaron's collection could find itself in line for the crucible of diecast combat. Aaron shares why no car is safe and offers some inside tips and tricks on building your ultimate jousting jalopy. Don't miss it!

Buying and selling diecast cars is the most universal experience when it comes to this hobby. Whether you're collecting vintage redlines worth thousands or customizing junk cars found at a yard sale, money is changing hands. Buying and selling online is the easiest way to do this, but it can also be the most risky. Our guest, Freddy Boggs of House of Cars Virginia stops by to talk to us about the world of diecast retail. His shop boasts over 40,000 cars and Freddy has been buying and selling cars for years before opening one of the largest brick-and-mortar diecast retail shops in the United States. We'll talk about building the House of Cars brand, the epic Diecast Supercon show, and how you can grow your collection smartly and safely.

We're talking Mad-Max style customs and an exciting game the diecast community seems to be sleeping on. There's more lands out there than just gas. We're joined by gaming creators and experts Randy Scheunemann and Jimmie Bragdon of Steve Jackson games to talk about the freshly re-designed Car Wars and discover why it's an opportunity not to be missed for diecast customizers and enthusiasts alike. Randy is a leader on the team that brought this game from the early 80s into the modern world and worked heavily on the redesign and development of the latest edition. Jimmie is and gaming expert on the Steve Jackson team that does many of the demonstration videos on the @stevejacksongames YouTube channel where you can find many examples of this fun, easy-to-learn game in action. "Car Wars is a game of the freeways and arenas of the future, where the right of way goes to the biggest guns. Players customize their vehicles and outfit their crews and either dominate the road . . . or crash and burn!" -sjgames.com

To know Hot Wheels is to know Larry Wood. For 40 years he designed some of the most iconic vehicles in diecast. Many of his designs are still available on the pegs today! From the Bone Shaker to the Purple Passion, Larry's vehicles have been recreated billions (yes, billions) of times. Larry sits down with us to chat about what he's up to these days and share some stories about his time at Mattel, and how passion and perseverance kept him going even when it seemed like Hot Wheels wouldn't make it. It's a fascinating conversation and we hope you stick around for the whole thing. We event meet Fluffy the shop cat, who has more behind the scenes access to Larry's projects at the secret location "Elwood Garage" than just about anyone else.
