mini gt is also a good option which produces a wide variety of models from OEM to tuner and race cars. lots of brands as well and regularly putting out new models. all roll but may lose accurate ride height and not as detailed as other more expensive brands. it is very good quality and detail for its price. would recommend as a cheaper entry point
Long time collector of 1/18, but I've been moving more towards 1/43 & 64tg scale. Thanks for reviewing all the popular brands. Good video. Can't wait for my INNO pre order!
some additional info on tarmac works. there are currently three different lines - global64: OEM cars and race cars which roll but less detailed and are cheaper. road64 are their top tier line for road cars and may not roll if ride does not allow. hobby64 is their top tier line for race cars and tuner cars and most won't roll due to low ride height but may roll if ride height allows like the race pickup trucks
Global64 are sometimes as expensive or even more expensive than Road64 and Hobby64 on a few cases which gets things confusing for those that doesn't check often, despite the ranking of the product lines. Mostly due to scalpers (ugh) but certain desirable models shoot up in price
you should've mentioned Mini GT. the price point to quality just can't be beat vs any of these. my collection is on the cheaper end, i try to stay under $20 so lots of HW premiums and MiniGT though i recently picked up the Tarmac Works Lancer 6.5 Safari Rally 2001 and i *love* it, will definitely keep an eye out for more TW. I mainly stick to 80s-90s Rally and European racing but am looking into getting into some JGTC. a big sticking point for me is the cars have to roll, which eliminates a lot of the pricier brands, thankfully.
What are some of the best 1/43 makers out there other than autoart and kyosho? I know Minichamps has a line but their detail seems pretty basic like the bburago 1/43 cars. Tarmac works makes some pretty sweet rwb Porsches but it's hard to find good detailed reviews with a lot of close ups.
Ebbro definitely one of the brands that are on top for me because they're very cheap and detailed, Mark43 is a bit too expensive for me but they're like the 1/43 version of Hobby Japan. Spark is also very very good with their 1/43 line of cars
Hey James, i would like to know your opinion about Fuelme. They seem to be one of the most "worth it" Brands to buy, i got a very detailed gunther werks porsche for about $40 which is very cheap for a resin but extremely detailed
@modelcarshouston Thank you. I'll definitely check out that video. Would you mind expanding on your reason to staying away from Kaido House? I'm just getting insights before trying out Tarmac or Inno64. Thanks man.
Auto World or Greenlight have made mustangs, and m2 machines have done older mustangs. Of those brands Auto World would be the best but note that none of them have full mirrors like Minigt. If you are not in the US than I think minigt is the only one unless you have auto worlds in your country
thanks for this video. have just recently been looking around doing some research trying to get into collecting models. What is a good method to look for models that have already released and are no longer stocked?
hi! I really love your content and just got into the more serious modelcars (as opposed to my old hotwheel collection). I ordered an LCD Mclaren f1 based on the videos on youtube because they seem very detailed. Do you have any experience with LCD by any chance and do you maybe know why there is so little information about it? many thanks and greetings from belgium!!
Great video.. love your website, can't seem to find info on the awesome parking mat that you have for your models. Can you tell me if you sell them on your site? Thanks in advance.
I’m new to the hobby but for some reason my OCD only lets me appreciate diecast cars that roll very well. Does anyone have recommendations for what brands are good besides hot wheels and auto world?
These are the brands with models that can roll on their wheels, based on what I know so far for 1:64 scale: Mini GT Tarmac Works GLOBAL64 Inno64 (I could be mistaken) Micro Turbo
@@modelcarshouston I wanna collect 1:64 but I wanna find brands that are as detailed closely to the real cars as possible. That's my concern. Most 1:64 I've seen don't have full detail and often miss head or tail lights etc. Can u advice me?
Timecodes have been added for your convenience! Thanks guys!

Great point! Overall, I was keeping it within a certain range for this video. :)
I couldn’t agree more the quality and details of the cars blow everything away
I recently bought Minigt's M4 GT3 and Defender 110, their quality and detail are absolutely unparalleled for the price point of ~$15.
404 Error, Timothy&Pierre, ECM, Tarmac Works, Street Weapon. Some bomb options as well. Ignition and Time Micro are my type.
Schuco too
Well, he won't promote unlicensed brands such as time micro, 404error, Timothy & Pierre, and all the others that aren't licensed

How much less detailed at global64 compared to Mini GT or their own road64? Relatively, like is the tradeoff that noticeable upclose?
@@whoIsV mini gt is slightly worse than global 64, road 64 and hobby 64 are clearly ahead in quality but more expensive. Mini gt is best for the price
@@aat8345 How good are road64 than gloabl64?

Inno64 and HobbyJapan 🔥
Some of the best for sure!
Hobby Japan is the best of them all 👌
They're a good brand for sure!
I like the INNO64 cars. 😎👍
Absolutely
Such an insightful video! Thumbs up 👍
TY
Great video. However price range for the Tomica cars are far more than 20 bucks. Especially TLV series.
Thank you! I'm pretty sure I said $28 to $32 range.
I want a koenigsegg agera rs but it’s so expensive anywhere I can find it for cheap?
Excelent my friend
Thank you sir!
Hey! What are your thoughts on Kyosho??? Would love to hear back!
Excellent brand!
For me top 3 1/64 brands are
Autoworld
Mini gt
Tarmac
What about Hot Wheels?
poster cars uf they make jdm(bcus of price uts cheap asf
nice channel! very professional!
You should say which models have metal base !

Ignition Model
Make Up Co. Ltd
EBBRO
Ebbro definitely one of the brands that are on top for me because they're very cheap and detailed, Mark43 is a bit too expensive for me but they're like the 1/43 version of Hobby Japan. Spark is also very very good with their 1/43 line of cars
Who makes the best lexus lfa 1/64?
Hey James, i would like to know your opinion about Fuelme. They seem to be one of the most "worth it" Brands to buy, i got a very detailed gunther werks porsche for about $40 which is very cheap for a resin but extremely detailed
Which brand is the most detailed in the diecast world bro??
INNO64, Ignition Model, TomyTec and Hobby Japan do a great job.
Can HKM wheels rolling? Thanks
Hi! What about Schuco and Kyosho? I have a few models.
Im just getting into the hobby and my buddies are having me start with Kaido House. Whats your thought on that company? Thanks man !
Check out this video here:
ua-cam.com/video/ovOMMCPHL1c/v-deo.htmlsi=yKhvkXV2BGqQU0Ed
Ultimately, it's up to you, personally, I'm staying away.
@modelcarshouston Thank you. I'll definitely check out that video.
Would you mind expanding on your reason to staying away from Kaido House? I'm just getting insights before trying out Tarmac or Inno64. Thanks man.
Do you know any good brand with ford mustang models except miniGT.
For 64 scale unfortunately not much. You may have to travel to Greenlight and the likes. Tarmac Works may start doing some more domestics.
Auto World or Greenlight have made mustangs, and m2 machines have done older mustangs. Of those brands Auto World would be the best but note that none of them have full mirrors like Minigt. If you are not in the US than I think minigt is the only one unless you have auto worlds in your country

Hey! Welcome! I have seen LCD products but have not reviewed any.
Hey! How you ever heard of the brand polar master? This company is huge in China. And they claim they have the exclusive license for rs7. Thanks
Great video.. love your website, can't seem to find info on the awesome parking mat that you have for your models. Can you tell me if you sell them on your site? Thanks in advance.
Thank you! That one was actually bought on eBay!
I’m new to the hobby but for some reason my OCD only lets me appreciate diecast cars that roll very well. Does anyone have recommendations for what brands are good besides hot wheels and auto world?
It's all good to have preference.
Try Mini GT
which fit me best? None, they don’t make trucks like M2
did the wheels spin? what brands have wheels spinning?
These are the brands with models that can roll on their wheels, based on what I know so far for 1:64 scale:
Mini GT
Tarmac Works GLOBAL64
Inno64 (I could be mistaken)
Micro Turbo
Model Cars Houston, have you Heard of the German Model Car company schuco ?
Yes, they are a great brand!
what is the roadway dio u are using in this video?
Its just a mouse pad that I got off eBay!
Redo this video with updated brands!
Interesting, just checked your store but couldn't find much 64 available 😕
Sold out all... 😔
Things move VERY fast in this world. Book items for preorder to secure some goodies that may interest you!
You should also showcase Kaido House!
Working on getting Jun on the podcast

Some do, some don't.
