Glenn mate, you must consider a job that will offer you enough time and energy to at least continue a reduced channel. I don’t know if you truly grasp how much the legends family means to a whole lot of us. Plus, you’ve got a lot to do and it’s so much better when we all share our experiences and creations with each other.
Thanks so much for the lovely comment Jason 😍. Right now I have no idea what the future holds for the channel 🤷🏼♂️. Hopefully I’ll have a better idea towards the end of January 🤓👊🏻
Well said I agree completely!
I completely agree Glenn, I love looking at my cars and other peoples collections I think it goes back to when I was a kid, I used to look at those Tamiya catalogs for hours on end wishing for one, those action shots were just so real ! My collection is now ever growing and I love it, even if my wife doesn’t 😂
Haha that last bit 🤣🤣🤣
Like many others I used to gawp in awe at the display behind the counter at Beaties in town when I was a young boy. We never had a pot to piss back then and I could never afford one. I managed to mither my mum enough to get me a Taiyo Jet Hopper 2 for Christmas. I remember it was £70 at the time and that was stretching it. Had so much fun with that car but always dreamed of a Tamiya. Anyway time passed I grew up and got in to other fads and hobbies on the way.
30 years later my son has asked for a remote control car! so I've been browsing around the nostalgic lust came flooding back after looking at Tamiya cars. I have bought my son a pre built car from amazon that he can throw around a bit however this is the excuse I needed to buy what I always wanted. The frog! Arrives tomorrow and I cant wait to get building it, I'm like an excited kid again. Thank you for sharing the nostalgia.
I'll never understand shelf Queens but I do understand that everyone enjoys this hobby differently. It is a silly for someone to try and tell you how to enjoy your hobby as it would be for you to try and tell them how to enjoy their hobby. Glad you're having fun :-)
Glenn what a awesome collection and such a privilege to be shared with us all and never long and winded my friend could sit and watch/listen for hours as im sure others would agree this is for me personally my passion and love my hobby as many many of us here and on the Tamiya Legends FB Groups would also have a passion for such videos/collections and for you to share personal and non related rc information with us all shows that your so down to earth and a realist which what makes you and then channel superb, and as for the collection and the way you put it together is fantastic to know and there wasn't a single car in there that i wouldn't walk over hot coals for 😂 , so a massive thank you and looking forward to part two and each and every other video you put time and effort into its just Fabulous to have you in our Hobby - thank you my friend . Andrew 🙂
Thanks so much Andrew for another extremely kind comment my friend 🤩👊🏻
I respect you even more than before because of your honesty. The deep you were, the higher you are now. Only a few will admit to themselves that there is a problem, and even less wille be honest about it towards other people 👍👍
Thank you my friend 🤩👊🏻
Glenn, love the down-to-earth, humble, and sincere personality/channel. One of the other many reasons I keep coming back to watch your videos. What a great collection-especially that Marui Ninja! Thanks for sharing. Wish you the best!
Thanks so much for the lovely comment my friend 😍👊🏻
Glenn , you need TWO of everything , Shelf stunner AND a runner . . . . get started !
Haha thanks Tim 😊👊🏻
The black and blue Super Saber at 4.27 is stunning!
Massive respect Glenn as below for being so open and glad your in a better place than in the past.. well done on getting through it. Nothing wrong with loving the chase and looking at the cars.. they are all awesome in various ways.. love the channel and always look forward to your new releases since being a subscriber. :) keep up all the great work my friend.. collections look awesome.. :)
Glenn, thanks so much for this video. I appreciate the information on the cabinets. The collection is looking great. I mean really fantastic. I am looking forward to watching the next videos in this series. Thanks for looking after my cars too.
Thanks for sharing Glenn, all the best for the new year :)
Thanks Glenn, great video, display and collection. Love these video's and the set up detail is a great bonus
Thanks Jon 😊👊🏻
Love the dribble and Love the collection. Thanks so much for sharing. Nice to hear that candid talk about life. We all have hurdles to over come but we get there. Keep on RC’in.
Yet again another fantastic video! I am in complete awe of your collection, but more importantly I am in awe with your honesty and how open you have been with regards to your own struggles. You have my utmost respect Glen 👍.
What a great set up and beautiful collection👌🏆
Thanks for sharing it 👍🦘🇦🇺
Great video Glenn, thanks for posting that.
I really appreciated the background on why you had sold and then rebuilt your collection a few times, i had always wondered the story behind that. Also, talking about your personal struggles with alcohol, gives strength and hope to those who are facing similar situations.
All the best in the future, and keep the videos coming mate. 👍
Thanks Pete 🤩👊🏻
Wow, thanks for being so honest to us all. Always look forward to your videos when they come out.
Stunning collection Glenn, really making me consider ditching my current cabinet and switching to the detolf. Thanks for putting all the info into this, much appreciated. 👍
Thanks Nick 🤩👊🏻
Glenn, I have been following you for years, since some of your earliest videos on your collections when you were in the UK. I always wondered why you sold off your other collections, as I was so impressed with everything. It has been honestly very therapeutic to hear you share your life stories and its impact on your collection. Thanks for being so transparent and honest in your commentary. It is my opinion this is one of your most likable qualities, story time with Glenn brings all of us to a place of 80's nostalgia. Thanks for sharing your tough moments as well as your wins. Life is up and down and I can only speak for myself but my life has many similarities and I resonate with all of your commentary. As you would say sorry for my dribble, but I just really appreciate your work. Cheers!
For all us 80’s kids. “Story time with Glen” hits the mark. Love it.
This one got me bud. God knows how many times I watch all of your videos but just now caught this one. Appreciate and relate to the backstory my friend. Hope you and maybe all of us are in a better place now. Please keep it going Glen. Appreciate your sir. -John 👍🏼
Love your collection videos Glenn, some serious hardwork and $$$ but 100% worth it when you see them together in a proper display. Thanks for sharing buddy!👍😎 btw also love the chase, that feeling when you find that super rare part, hop-up or kit, its a feeling hard to beat!
Thanks for making a video of your personal stuff you have. Very cool to see the stuff you hold dear after watching all your video s
Living the dream. Thanks for sharing your story and your cars 😍. Your Dyna Storm 211x tribute caught my eye so I’ve just gone back and watched those videos again. Amazing 🤩
Fantastic video thanks for sharing your experience. Some awesome tips for the beginner and a brilliant intro and insight into the hobby.
Great video Glenn! Love your collection. I was looking at the Ikea cabinets after watching one of your older older videos, but they’re left slightly open between the cabinets - and I can’t face the prospect of dusting everything all the time! I’ve got Ikea sliding door cabinets - and made some double decker storage frames to stack the cars inside rather than adding extra shelves.
Can’t wait to see the full collection!
Haha yeah that is definitely a problem with the Detolf cabinets 🤕🤕🤕. Dust is definitely the enemy 🤣👊🏻
Great video. Thanks for sharing all of those details. Again, your openness and honest makes for great content and it’s appreciated. I can’t imagine buying and selling multiple collections like you have. The current one and the display are awesome. Keep ‘em coming.
It's your video, make it as long as you like! It's a joy watching someone as passionate as you and hearing what you got to say! I wasn't so interested in the Ikea cabinets, but I made it through that part too, no problem... That's some cool buggies, you got! I think I already saw videos with most of them, and maybe some that you didn't show today, too... I have to confess, I have no idea how many I got, maybe 6-8 Tamiyas, they're on shelves, but nothing as nice as yours!
Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment my friend 🤩👊🏻
Enjoyed the vid and all the personal background looks like you’ve had some great collections over the years, miss the egress hornet and superhotshot some of my fave classics, keep up the good work👍🏻
Thanks for sharing Glen, awesome clip can’t wait for part 2 and 3. My own collection and display has been directly inspired from your own, many thanks
Oh wow that’s fantastic Chris 🤩👊🏻
Yep, very nice indeed. As i've mentioned on another video, i borrowed this idea of using these cabinets for myself and with the middle side panels removed, it all works great. In the meanwhile i have also sorted out the lighting situation and went with two different Ikea lighting sets and i managed to get it all to work with the Ikea Smart System, so i can now turn on and off everything with one push on a button. (or smartphone) My collection isn't that extensive though, so i was able to get away with just three cabinets, displaying 11 cars in the cabinets and two 1/5th scale ones on top, which also have some background lighting. I'm still in the process of cable managing and getting all three cabinets to align with each other correctly but it already is an eyecatcher as it stands. I chose to illuminate every single car in the display and i'm not disappointed. If you're interested i could produce some pictures or video for you to feature in a future video or something. Once again, thanks for this idea!
Brutally honest stuff Glenn...!!! Only started watching your vids since the scamdemic started , getting into it at a later age as never had any Tamiya as a child !!!, Good stuff mate looks great..!!
👌🏎🚗
Great vid! Love it 😍.. going to watch part 2 now. All the best for the future, I hope this channel continues
Great video 👍
I'm glad you mentioned the cabinets I'm looking for some myself
Damn...love that you are so honest and open. Not many people would share this, especialy on a youtube channel. 🙏
Thanks for your display info..was wondering where you got those from. 😉 And what an amazing collection...can't wait to see it all finished/displayed.
Take care!
Cheers,
Ruud
Thanks Ruud 🤩👊🏻
kinder joy has ignited my passion for these sets
Today its so easy to collect tamiya buggy cars with the re-re ones, I was a true collector with the original ones, had 23 complete restored and about other 5 to work on, did sell them all on year 2000 till 2003 because it was too much place taking. Interesting was to see the mechanical evolution, Toyota Hilux first 4wd, Wild Willy first car with differential, Hot Shot first 4wd with diffs. Cheers from Estefano's Homepage.
So cool to see your collection back!
Thanks buddy, things are going to grow pretty quickly from here 😂👊🏻
Your collection is amazing...I would love to see it in person. I could look at all those models for hours... well done sir..I agree I love to sit and look at my R/C collection also, just clean them and enjoy them, that the great part of the hobby do as you see fit...👍👍🇺🇸
Epic video Glenn :)!
i wish all the best glen. you are my favorite rc presenter !
Thank you for this excellent video, I really enjoyed it
Nice collection👍 thanks to finding your channel at the beginning of 2020 I've got a collection growing with 6 tamiya 1 kyosho and a 1/16 ftx outback. All very well enjoyed.
Keep up the good work 👊
Great video Glenn love the collection
Thanks Adrian 😊👊🏻
What a Treeeeeemendous video of a beautiful collection Glen!!!!!!. Really helpful as well with the display cabinet explanation.. So many great cars.. all have their standing in their own way. For me Glen because of my age and what the hobby means to me.. The one that stands out for me for my own reason is the………Bigwig.. A true Tamiya legend and one that was so aspirational back in the day.. going on what I said yesterday I think in the new year that can be my project.. try to find a Bigwig that needs a bit of help and give it a go.. once again thank you Glen for stirring up those great and happy memories👍👍👍
Thanks Darren so like you I have a strong nostalgic connection to the Bigwig 😍. So yeah I love your idea of getting yourself one and nursing it back to full health 🤩🤩🤩
Your 2016 collection videos is what hooked me.
I only saw them when I came across your Chanel a year ago. I can’t believe what I have been able to put together in just a year. You know what it looks like. Thanks Glenn
Haha I certainly do my friend 😍
When I got your emails last night I copied all the pictures so I could have them all together. I need to reply but it’s just soooooooo much to take in 🤩🤩🤩
Brilliant video. So bloody down to earth and honest. You my friend are an absolute 'Legend'.😃👍👍. Oh! And your collection is epic!! 🚗🚕🚘🚖🚓🛻🏎
Thanks so much my friend 😊👊🏻
Thanks Glen, always look forward to anything new you post, your passion is always good viewing, very humble and also very relaxing to chill out in front of the TV. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the lovely comment Cliff 🤩👊🏻
Cracking vid 👌🏻
Great video Glenn loved watching it, 32 mins went by really fast and by the end it felt like it had been cut short lol, I would love to have a collection similar to that!
Thanks Paul, your channel support is massively appreciated my friend 🤩👊🏻
That's just awesome😀😎👍👍
Thank you 😊
Cool video 👍 very cool that u put all the details into this video. Can't wait for the next 2-3 video's! And the longer the video the better! So keep them coming

Great video. Your frank words deserve great respect. Keep it up. With you I can feel the living spirit of the 80s 🙂Happy RCing
Wow thanks for the awesome comment my friend 🤩👊🏻
Great collection 🏎👌
Thanks Christian 😎👊🏻
Awesome Glenn can't wait for part 2
Thanks Chris, part 2 and 3 coming soon my friend 😅👊🏻
Awesome video Glenn. It’s good to know life happens to others. I had an original Top Cat BITD I had to part with among others. I’ve gotten the Top Cat (rere) back along with some others that I had.
Yeah it’s just a part of the hobby my friend, real life can always get in the way 🤕 Thanks for watching my friend 😊😊😊
Awesome video! The collection looks great so far! Keep up the great work mate!
Thank you 😊
what a lovely video mate.
Sending hugs
I agree with you though mate - i ONLY have 3 runners
1. LiPo 3s brushless monster beetle
2. LiPo 3s brushless TT02b MS NeoScorcher
3. LiPo 2s Brushless Durango DEX210
The other 30 cars are all on the shelf - RTR
Omg Nissan kingcab! 😲
Great video and as ever so passionate about the hobby. Some great buggy's too.
Thanks for watching Gaz 😊👊🏻
What an amazing collection, and its only part one. Cant wait for the rest.
Thanks my friend, yeah over the next two videos it more than doubles 😅😅😅
Well done buddy very brave 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Richard 😊👊🏻
Absolutely love the video and background to your situation, a lot of us can relate brother, keep up the great work. Thank you
Thank you for watching my friend 🤩👊🏻
Dammit, man... there's those deadly sins, again!!
Stunning collection.
Haha there never too far away from me my friend 😂👊🏻
It is a great pleasure to hear your interesting journey. Sometimes we sell away things and then pay more to get them back again but that is how life works. Your motor collection is nearly a toy museum’s showcase now and you must be proud of it. 👍
Thanks so much Terence 🤩
I honestly didn’t think the motor collection would evolve so quickly, but I’m certainly not complaining my friend 😍👊🏻
Heaven on earth Glenn. Very cool thing to be doing. The details are appreciated too in case I'm ever able to start a similar display.
Thanks Jon 🤩
Amazing collection 👍
Thanks for watching my friend 😊👊🏻
What an awesome rc collection. As an Tamiya can do you also have a terra crusher. Sold mine long time ago and still miss this beauty. Nowadays it’s pretty rare around here in Germany
Thanks for sharing the collection ☺️. Awesome 😎 I totally get the need to display these. If this was my collection I would be spending a lot of time admiring.
Haha Nigel I do a fair bit of that myself 😎😊
"A lot of people won't understand that" but those people are not me! Hello from a like minded rc collector.
My goodness it's going to take another pandemic to wipe the smile off my face after watching that. Fantastic!
Thank you so much for the lovely comment my friend 🤩👊🏻
Very impressive collection those TRF's just stand out, and as for the 3 road cars❤️ them. Some of your old collection got me goin down memory lane lol wild one and hotshot 1 & 2, and as for your motor collection I'm just jealous as hell😁 technigold and it's brothers are just BEAUTIFUL. Really looking forward to parts 2 & 3 and to finding out what other cars are getting added to your wicked collection.👍❤️
Thanks so much Wayne, parts 2&3 coming soon my friend 😅👊🏻
That was an excellent video, I really enjoyed it! I love how enthusiastic you are about the collecting and displaying side of the hobby, it really does make me smile. Personally, I've never been a huge fan of the off-road stuff, don't get me wrong, there are some awesome buggies out there (and you've got a few), but for me it's the on-road stuff that gets me going. You have a great collection there mate, it looks fantastic, but I'd rather have fewer cars and run them all, even if it's only occasionally. Anyway, excellent video, keep up the good work ;)
Thanks Barry 😊
I think you are really going to enjoy the part 3 video my friend 😍
That Demon motor for me gets the memories flooding back. My first hop up with my own hard earned pocket money. I actually became slightly competitive at my race club after that.
Haha that’s awesome Matt, nostalgia and memories my friend 🤩🤩🤩
Awesome video your a "Legend" 👍🏻
Your the Legend for watching my friend 😅👊🏻
Glenn you are epic in every way.... I get to live my dream through your pukka channel. Thank you. 👌
Nice collection I like the green truck and the Ninja!
Yeah the Ninja is 😍😍😍
Glenn that is an amazing collection! I never get why there is hate for the Bigwig as for me its one of those cars from back in the day that stood out from the rest, awsome model..
Glad the shelves worked out for you, I will be making some for myself I hope in the new year when all my workshop makes it over from Canada and I will be doing some cool lighting with the cnc laser :)
I would love to have those Tomy Rc in my collection, what a car to have!
Thanks Adrian 😍👊🏻
Absolutely brilliant mate I remember seeing your first ones as you say full circle with a twist 😁
Thanks Phillip 😊😊😊
Great video, nice to see you are in a better place emotionally/psychologically
Now to do the physical side lol 🤣
New year new me 🥳💪🏻💪🏻
Thanks for watching my friend 🤩👊🏻
Hey Glenn...What a video,WHAT A COLLECTION!!! I've seen how your tastes have changed going through various collections...liking what your doing....
Learned something new about you....hope back doesn't give you to much grief and most folks have demons of their own as well...if you ever come across another 2 tomys give me a heads up please...Anyways top video,and looking forward to the follow ups..
Thanks Gary 😊
No the back is good no pain whatsoever thankfully 😅
Your honesty about your life is refreshing and your passion for rc amazing. The best rc channel on UA-cam are far. Keep doing what you do. Have a great xmas buddy.
Loved your honestly, and it's all right, man. No judgment here. Have 20cars and counting
Wow that's an awesome collection Glenn, I have 2 Tamiya kits which are the Top Force and an old Manta Ray chassis that i run and use to swap different body shells onto, the Top Force is a non runner because i can't afford the gears lol, plus i don't want to damage it after taking a year to build from parts, look forward to part two of your videos. 👍
Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment my friend 🤩👊🏻
Love the video.great to hear your journey in R/C.you put a lot off hard work into your cars and it shows you must be proud off what you have achieved 🤩👍👍
Thanks Ian, yeah I must admit I can spend an hour or two looking at them 😍👊🏻
Your collection is, as you say a thing of beauty ! 👍
Thanks so much Peter, it’s about to change radically over the next two videos my friend 😅👊🏻
Good morning Glen!!!!! Seriously……. Your the best! You just want to make people want to love you and your channel!! Thanks for everything that you do!
Thanks Chris 😊👊🏻
Gotta say the motor collection is my favorite part of yours as you don't often see them like that all in one place . Thanks for the tour Glenn ...😎👌💪👊🔥🔥🔥 best tamiya channel on UA-cam 👍
Wow thank you 😊😊😊
@@TAMIYALegends you're welcome 👌
Wish my cars would be that clean ....one day🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great video👍 Love the personal information too🙂🙂 Keep it up 👍
Thanks John 😊👊🏻
Alright,this is what I have been waiting for.Thanks Glen!
Thanks buddy, Parts 2 and 3 coming soon, this starts to grow really quickly form here 😊👊🏻
Very very nice Glenn.
Very impressed, im all about the gorking at the cars more than driving too.
Hare Krishna.
Gauranga!
Excellent I’m glad you like it my friend 😎👊🏻
G'day Glenn mate you have the most beautiful car collection I dream of getting display cabinet the same way you have. I hate my cars they are always dusty even spider webs Lol when I go to show someone Love Love your display mate and your channel mate 👍👍
Thanks for the lovely comment my friend 🤩👊🏻
Fantastic collection,lot of money there and i understand its not easy to keep hold of them all if money becomes a problem.I only have 7 so far,and will hopefully get 2 more.Hope you get to hold onto them all this time,and thanks for your background story.
Thanks Alastair 😊👊🏻
Great vid mate 👍 have the same set up for displaying my tamiya static models my rc are on the wall but they do look good in them display cabinets 🤔🤔🤔
Thanks Simon 😊👊🏻
The fact that you squeezed that optima pro in there says a lot - I’m sure you have a couple more tamiya cars pissed at you for that 😄
As for selling collections I get it - I’m on what I’d say is my third RC collection now and as much as I wish I had all the previous kits I agree there’s something exciting about starting over after a purge. I mostly have semi-restored runners now and I’ll be honest I feel a little pull when I walk in my room and see all of the cars that need this & that - it can be hard to say “it’s good enough as-is” when you want every last nut & bolt to be the right ones. Such is life of the collector I suppose 🤷♂️
Glenn we’ll truly miss not having new videos from you to look forward to should you ever stop but the body of work you have provided us is finished when you say it is brother. Til then, happy rc’in 😁
Thanks Wade 🤩👊🏻
Hi Glenn, if you decide to sell that BlackFoot I’ll buy it. I had one back in the late 80’s and am planning to get another one.
I enjoy seeing how you display your work, pure talent, pure passion. Merry Xmas Glenn and best wishes to you and your family.
Lovely thanks Paul 😊
And I wish you and your family a merry Christmas and a very happy new year my friend 🤩👊🏻
I use acrylic tube (appr. diameter of a small finger) that I put in the middle of the chassis between the rear wheels (most weight is located there) to prevent the tires from deforming over time (all 4 wheels still touch the ground). A tube is cheap and you can cut with a saw the exact height you need for each car. A very convenient way is to use a roll of toilet paper to let all wheels hover - but I like to have all wheels on the ground.
Haha that’s fantastic information my friend, thanks for sharing this with us 😊👊🏻
This is also my dream, I'm starting the restoration of my new house, hope I will be able to do something like that.. Thanks for the inspiration!! This is the best rc channel, thanks again!!
Thanks so much for the lovely comment my friend 🤩🤩🤩
I really enjoy putting the kits together. More than I like to run them. I have 30 or 40 kits I'm afraid to count them😁
Yeah I fully understand that, the build process is the best 🤩👊🏻
