Great video my friend 😊 I honestly can’t tell you how much respect I have for you not Monetising this video 😍. Your respect to the gentleman who passed away and indeed his family speaks volumes of the man you are 🤩🤩🤩
Hi Brett, thank you so much for the comment. Glad you enjoyed the video. Please check out the rest of the channel as we have some great vintage RC content and some silly backyard RC racing.
Yes it was really amazing being part of it. Day 2 ended here at 2 am in the morning. We were on a wedding, so there's no problem checking the auction on the cell phone from time to time. I was lucky to get the Farm King completely sealed. Now I have to wait for weeks or months because of the long shipping times in the USA and the delays by the EU customs. But now I can figure out what I'll do with this kit and to honor Larry.
So sad may he RlP! But what a collection!!! Amazing collection! Well done on your wins! The blackfoots look interesting and pleased you got the Triumph mate👍
I sat there all day watching on Saturday as well. I big on a few thing a bit most were out of my price range! I didn't get anything but it was entertaining for sure. Congrats on getting the cars you got as the competition was fierce!!! Looking forward to seeing the goodies when they show up!!
A great auction indeed! I was so thankful To be able to attend the auction too. I myself have a daughter and a true rc junkie so this gentleman’s passion and his unfortunate passing hit my heart. I will definitely share my win on my channel. Congratulations sir thanks for sharing.
This auction was a fun experience to be part of. In my opinion, Larry had the National Treasure of RC collections. So many rarities, sooooo many temptations. I can't wait for my new 40 year old car to arrive in the mail. 🤪 I'm looking forward to see everyone share there newely won shelf queens in a post soon.
@@RCRetro I picked up a original Lancia Rally kit on day 2 (5840) and the Stadium Thunder (58181) un opened kit. I went all in on the Lancia and the Stadium Thunder was a bonus win. When I saw the blister packs still intact in the Lancia box I was dead set on winning it. I have wanted one of these for years but could not find one especially in this condition. I am super excited on seeing it arrive soon. Got my shipping info and they are on the way. Looking to do a small tribute to Larry with the builds just not sure what yet.
Great news that you found your unicorn. Can't wait to see the video - I know nothing about the Triumph, so it'll be an education. Even happier to hear that it'll be used as Kyosho intended.
Thanks for the comment. I will try to get a video out quickly as soon as I unbox everything and then do a follow up video unboxing the Triumph and inventory everything to ensure its all there.
Very nice, you got some cool stuff! I love the look of that Kyosho Triumph, I had never heard of it before but now I want one, too, ha ha! I think I'll just be looking forward to watching your video with it, very cool! Auctions are quite an experience, even if it's just online, looks like you got a lot of thrills out of this, very nice!
I had wanted to replace the Triumph I had as a kid in the early 90s, but it turns out they were quite desirable and fetching more than I was willing to pay. That being said, I did come across one that was heavily modded and in miserable condition for pretty cheap that I'm getting back into racing condition. I'm intending on putting a video of that one up. Anyway, have fun building that kit, IMO it's a pretty sweet looking car. The belt transmission is pretty neat.
thanks for the comment. Let me know when you get a video up. I'm interested to see it. I'm not to familiar with the Triumph, but i know it was a little different then the Ultimas before it and I thought it was a cool RC as a kid. I'm looking forward to seeing it in person and i'm going to take my time building it.
That’s funny I saw the Triumph too and thought about bidding for it , but as the day went on I thought the bidding was going a little crazy . So I decided to pass on this auction and pre order a Kyosho Mid instead.
Yes it was crazy prior and i was bracing myself for how expensive it was going to be. Given the fact that people sell these used at 400-600 bucks I knew I"d be paying a pretty penny for this kit. I have also cancelled a few of my pre-orders for this year... but not the kyosho optima mid. Thats a must.
I watched the auction and took part but didn’t get anything, really epic collection to see though. Glad you got what you wanted and yes some of the prices were really high!! 😆👍
Oh man, I wanted that Triumph bad Ari!! I was bidding against you for a bit but not long. I feel better knowing you got it man! I look forward to the vids on it. I didn't end up with anything from the auction as it all got a bit too high for me. I am glad it went well for Larry's family and wish them the best.
Congratulations on your winning lots and respect for not flashing about prices etc 👍🏻🙌🏻 Look forward to seeing what you have and those Blackfoot looks awesome 😎
Hey man the auction was crazy for those 2 days. I happen to win 2kits as well. An original lunchbox and a monster beetle..by far this is the biggest rc collection I have ever seen ..unfortunately it's sad that the owner passed so young. And hopefully the people that won some of the lots are rc collectors and don't go reselling for super high prices on eBay and other platforms..hopefully these kits end up mostly shelf queens or played with. 🙏 great video btw.
I was bidding on that Triumph too. I guess am not as crazy as you are! So happy that you won that auction. Cannot wait to see it on the channel. Also really cool that you will be running it. As if I had won it, it would have stayed in the box, since I already have a runner with tons of parts, and a shelfer.
Stumbled in here by chance. Subscribed. Just had to congratulate you for your Triumph score! I too can appreciate the Triumph. Don't own one though. If I wasn't such a pigeon holer with the '91 to '95 TRX buggies, I would chase down a Triumph. Good for you! I'm gonna go watch your Triumph vid now.. Thanks!
Thanks for the sub… I got a few triumph vids…. Unbox, build (2 parts) and I have another triumph video coming out next week or so. Hint… I got a second triumph
I won Larry's Juggernaut 2 kit, and it got way up there in price, but it was my life long dream kit, and it is MINT. I didn't mind the cost as the money was going to his grandchildren. Larry had the best collection of RC's I have ever seen and I am over 50. It took me 3 days just to look at everything he had. What a RC legend (sorry Glenn) Larry has become.
I started bidding from Day one and checked every day. I was winning 54 lots then ended up getting a sand scorcher and a gold edition buggy champ. Great collection and fun auction. Should be getting mine next week
Thanks for the comment and sharing. 54 lots is a lot. I had about 125 lots saved to my watchlist but in the end I narrowed by day 2 list down to a top 5. Did the auction company reach out to you yet about shipping? I get a text message saying within the next 2 weeks we'd receive a shipping invoice....?
@@RCRetro yes. I got the text and emails. There was an email glitch when replying to the integrity auction email about whether you want to pick up or ship but I contacted Ben and it was resolved. Paid for the shipping cost thru shipping Saint and got my UPS tracking number Friday. Will keep you posted once I receive the two kits
RIP Larry. He left an absolute vintage treasure trove there. The NIB Super Champs and Wild Willies. Sigh...jusy amazing pristine artifacts from Tamiya and RC's golden age
Congratulations! I bid on the Triumph too but stopped after getting out bid because I couldn't be 100% sure it was complete. I wanted the Ultima series too but ended up with the Optima Mid and later want to Team Assoicated after that.
That hopped up Blackfoot is a nice find for sure, definitely a racer back in the day, I'd get the gearbox torn down & replace the ball bearings if needed along with perhaps order the blackfoot 2016 drive shafts as they are better then the original ones, maybe the gearbox halves as well as i think they were thicker so the gearbox doesn't flex as much with the newer ones. Hope it all makes it over in one piece without shipping damage. There is a good thread on rc10 talk about the triumph so worth looking in there.
Thanks and I also hope it all gets to me in one peice with no issues. Thanks for the tip about rC10 talks about the Triumph... I'lll eventually check it out. Thanks.
@@RCRetro The threads called " Triumph Discussion " & " Let's talk Triumph " forgot too add that in the comment, some good reading in there. Apparently when Kyosho tried with the pro-x one of the drivers was so upset with how terrible the pro-x was they walked off track & threw it in a pond lol.
I finally received the kits from sale & im pleasantly surprised. Nearly everything is there to piece a kit together . Only thing I see that will be tuff I’d couple parts trees for Madcap .
I got my kits yesterday but left today to visit family for Easter. So I didn’t even have an opportunity to open my stuff. Later this week when I’m home I’ll do an unboxing video. Besides the madcap, what other kits did you get ?
@@duncanmarriott2052 wow you really went all out. I actually won 3 NIB kits during the auction but in my video only shared 2. So in my next video you’ll see that kit. It’s not in the same league as those kits you got. It’s definitely not a classic like the Astute and Monster Racer you won.
Congrats Ari! He did go way too early. Wonder what his collection would look like if he was still here in 10 years. I'm skint atm so I did not have the funds to buy anything I wanted. And the shipping to Norway would not be cheap either. On my list of cars I wanted was Celica GRB, Porsche 959, Ford SVT F-150, Ford Mondeo BTCC and Volvo 850 BTCC.
There was just way too much stuff... If that was my collection i wouldnt even know where to begin with to enjoy it. Just massive.... If that makes sense.
I got a dark blue mint condition big boss sitting right here on my shelf only bummer is its missing the motor that fills the hood. Someday i will find one maybe So what are you saying my kyoshos might be worth something i have a bunch of puretenalpha 2 and 3 mini infernos a land jump ? The pennzoil indy or F!1 its the good chassis with inboard shocks and the lesser chassis target car dmtve s old 1/8 infernos a couple of boats viper viper r and sunray? Plenty of ultima optima raiders the list goes on ,i love the kyosho stuff glad you got what you were looking for
@@RCRetro yes I did! It was a great build. You're going to enjoy it. I wanted to leave it in the box but I couldn't help myself. I also built a kyosho pro x.
Hey really cool of you not to monetize…. Something that a lot of people have lost over the past few years is class and humility! Never change! Thanks!! Oh yeah any idea what the Porsche 959 sold for? Thanks
9:40 pretty much looks like a modified kyosho beetle/scorpion? Ohhh you were the one on that car i was wondering who was that crazy... great purchase there.
Good for you , I won a few but my better judgement had me stop on a few others that went for eBay $$ . This definitely means Tamiya will announce Re - Re of each of the kits I bought next week …..
I knew you’d be in on this one. I wanted that Daytona. Amazing collection. The prices were nuts. A lot of virgin auction goers bid the crap out of them. Sucks because I’m tight on cash at the moment and I didn’t find out about the auction until 2 days before. Sucks the guy died in his 50’s. Those Porsche’s got crazy. Auctions have gone nuts since the virus crap started. The prices I was paying 3-4 years ago were close to half what things are going for now.
@@bricearnold4445 Nice. Glad you were able to get one. It was a fun experience but also at times frustrating. Just when you think you're going to win someone bids at the last second..... annoying lol..
That black van in the lot of three you got looks like it might have a Kyosho Scorpion rear half, but the front looks more Sand Scorcher or something...? I don't think it's a Sand Scorcher front though.
Just subscribed to your channel i have been i rc since 85 t tamiya mainly i still have my original three tamiya blackfoot super g grasshopper and marui wheelie landcruiser jeep i have been buying alot of rtr from arrma traxxas and kyosho its so hard to get re releases in the states been waiting for some cars since twenty18 I'm like you just cant sit in front of computer have to work lol resellers are killing the hobby but I'm glad i came across your channel I watch rc kicks and tamiya legends as well look forward to upcoming reviews
When I spoke with the auction company last week they said it would take 1-2 weeks to get everyone their shipping quotes. I inquired again today because I have not received an email yet with the price. They said by the end of the week I’d get a quote to pay and then ship.
Congrats! Were you bidding on what looked like an incomplete kit or the one with the in-tact blister pack? I was going for the in-tact one but bowed out when it got to around $900.
@@bricearnold4445 the complete one, if you didn’t check the pictures it would be easy to get caught out I found, it must have been you bidding against me then. I seen one in Australia at 1500 dollars, so I thought it was safe enough still at that price .
WHAT IS HIS DAUGHTER GOING TO DO WITH THE STUFF THAT DIDN'T SELL. I'VE BEEN DOING RC SINCE I WAS 10. I'M NOW 57. I ALSO COLLECT HOT WHEELS, STAR WARS STUFF, AND A FEW OTHER THING'S. I TOLD MY DAUGHTER THAT EVERYTHING WILL GO TO HER AND MY GRAND DAUGHTER. SHE CAN KEEP WHAT THEY WANT, AND SELL THE REST FOR MY GRAND DAUGHTERS 4 YEAR COLLEGE. I REMEMBER ALL OF THE RC'S IN YOUR VIDEO. DO I STILL HAVE MINE, WELL MAYBE SOME DAY YOU'LL SEE ANOTHER AUCTION. THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US YOUR NEW TOY'S.
I wasn't sure if she sold everything. Maybe she did keep stuff for herself. I'm not sure.. Well I hope youre around for a long time so that you can enjoy all of it.
I never liked manufacturers who made knock-offs based on other manufacturers' successful RC Models. Team Associated set the world on fire with the RC10 and the years following were knock-off after knock-off based on their design. I never owned an RC10 because every racer had one.
I tried to collect a few, 1s that i wanted as a kid but could never afford. But then i had them and they just sat there on the shelf. I let them all go bar my blackfoot b/c it was mine and it was the 1st. folks doing this stuff to make $, sorry, but it is just small scale barrett jackson. people with more $ than brains trying to hustle for more $. massic collection though. unreal. -U10
So only the undertaker and funeral director can make money off someone's passing? It's weird you even brought it up... If your channel isn't run like a business, it'll never be successful. Anyway, cool video up until that point 👍👍👍

When I spoke with the auction company last week they said it would take 1-2 weeks to get everyone their shipping quotes. I inquired again today because I have not received an email yet with the price. They said by the end of the week I’d get a quote to pay and then ship.
@@RCRetro hey thanks for the heads up, knew they had to be busy, a simple email saying that would hv been nice, see ya thanks again
I won the astute 👌 I thought it was reasonable enough to other nib I have seen, missed the madcap though.
Congrats! Were you bidding on what looked like an incomplete kit or the one with the in-tact blister pack? I was going for the in-tact one but bowed out when it got to around $900.
@@bricearnold4445 the complete one, if you didn’t check the pictures it would be easy to get caught out I found, it must have been you bidding against me then. I seen one in Australia at 1500 dollars, so I thought it was safe enough still at that price .
WHAT IS HIS DAUGHTER GOING TO DO WITH THE STUFF THAT DIDN'T SELL. I'VE BEEN DOING RC SINCE I WAS 10. I'M NOW 57. I ALSO COLLECT HOT WHEELS, STAR WARS STUFF, AND A FEW OTHER THING'S. I TOLD MY DAUGHTER THAT EVERYTHING WILL GO TO HER AND MY GRAND DAUGHTER. SHE CAN KEEP WHAT THEY WANT, AND SELL THE REST FOR MY GRAND DAUGHTERS 4 YEAR COLLEGE. I REMEMBER ALL OF THE RC'S IN YOUR VIDEO. DO I STILL HAVE MINE, WELL MAYBE SOME DAY YOU'LL SEE ANOTHER AUCTION. THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US YOUR NEW TOY'S.
I wasn't sure if she sold everything. Maybe she did keep stuff for herself. I'm not sure.. Well I hope youre around for a long time so that you can enjoy all of it.
I never liked manufacturers who made knock-offs based on other manufacturers' successful RC Models. Team Associated set the world on fire with the RC10 and the years following were knock-off after knock-off based on their design. I never owned an RC10 because every racer had one.
Do you think the batteries you got will work?
I tried to collect a few, 1s that i wanted as a kid but could never afford. But then i had them and they just sat there on the shelf. I let them all go bar my blackfoot b/c it was mine and it was the 1st. folks doing this stuff to make $, sorry, but it is just small scale barrett jackson. people with more $ than brains trying to hustle for more $. massic collection though. unreal. -U10
They should be released at model from kyosho.
So only the undertaker and funeral director can make money off someone's passing?
It's weird you even brought it up...
If your channel isn't run like a business, it'll never be successful.
Anyway, cool video up until that point 👍👍👍
It sucked. The format was confusing and lame.
