The prices of toy and scale-model cars can get ridiculous.

You'll never convince me $11k for a model car is worth it.
What about $2900K?
You have to remember, the people that own these cars LOVE to talk about how much an oil change is. "You gotta pay to play" is the motto here.
So, for a Ferrari owner, who has a 4+ car garage, with posters all over his flawless garage floor.....I get it.
Its not for you then the target market is diff
pretty sure nobody wants to...
Things are only worth what people are willing to pay... And those people willing to pay over 1 million for a toy car are called, "fools", 😂😂👌✌👍💥
It's depressing when die cast cars cost more than your actual car
and all the houses of your entire family together jajaja amazing
Look, the candy gaser in spectraflame is worth as much as my car
I didnt expect much
I mean at that point it's basically a car shaped jewelery
I mean with conversion to usd & everything my car is worth like 3k with sound system,some of these are worth thousands of my car
I Assure you, a carbon fibre diecast prius with real gold wrap on it, costs more than any Lamborghinies today
Donut is the only channel I don't skip adds on. You mean to tell me I may be entitled to a full head of hair? 😂
Underrated comment.
Seeing this comment made me realize I watch them too
Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed by the episode. I was hoping to see some articles from Amalgam, Capo, DeAgostini, Hachette, Lesu, ScaleArt, but instead we got the inflated vintage and Veblen crap.
Big shoutout to whoever does color grading for donut videos. It's always so on point!
For the price of $2.9M, I was expecting an ignition and a noise of a real engine for that model.
u didnt even watch it fully
Well considering the 2.9 mil one was just a chunk of gold and diamonds and makes zero noise I think you didn't watch the video
@@BxckPakingspecial kind of stupid aren't ya.
There is, it's called buying the actual fucking car 😂
Maybe an RC car?
I love that the holy Grail can just be someone accidentally packaged a product they weren’t supposed to
That's pretty much any type of collecting tbh
Yeah same with coins
Time to work at a factory and purposely pack the wrong items into wrong containers. 😂
Every time I see the Donut logo I want a donut. Am I a fatass?
@@mattstone8878 yes
It wasn't the weight distribution of the original Beach Bomb that was a problem, it was too narrow to run on the newly launched tracks - so they added the side pods that the boards fit into, making the body wide enough to run down the tracks correctly
And it could not fit in the new boosters too
yep it wasnt wide enough to go through the then new electric boosters
I had a family friend who just passed away about a year ago and had a huge collection of model cars they were able to sell most of the collection and made enough for 2 college funds for his grandkids and still had plenty left over to keep his wife comfortable and from what I understand they actually kept some of the most valuable ones
10:07 I Love how they use a 50-dollar toy car to demonstrate its lack of rolling xd.
Then we have modern $25 car models that are build not to roll
As a hot wheels collector that hurt 😂 I mean it was on concrete and that def chewed up the wheels
Its ok. With almost 8 million subscribers. They can afford it. 🤣
Well, there are so many scale model brands that didn't intend to roll smoothly, and most collectors feel okay with it even if they're about to flex it all with gnarly photograph skills.

lmao true, i though the bwm was die cast, huge props

I was at Ferarri World in Abu Dhabi a couple of weeks ago. They had a selection of 1/12th (i think) scale models for aprox £2k a peice. They are made by 3D scanning all the OEM cars and molds then using CAD to shrink them down then reproduce. They're then inspected by actual Ferarri scrutinisers (is that a word?) before going on sale.
I can confirm they do look better than your average scale model
Most valuable die-cast cars on planet: Hot Wheels Customs 😜
My great-grand père had a massive Matchbox car collection he spent his entire life building dominating two rooms of his New Hampshire home. I was hoping to inherit some of it when he passed, but it was unfortunately passed on to other family members who promptly sold them in an estate sale. I have no doubt there were probably some valuable pieces in that collection. I also kick myself for not treating the ones he gave me when I was a little kid better, but I didn't understand their significance as a child and just kind of threw them in with my other toys where they eventually got ruined or sold in garage sales.
You were a child, they were toys, not Faberge eggs, you played with them. You did the normal healthy thing.
Well to hold or honor their memory have a personal Matchbox car collection in their name
I guarantee he didn't give them to you to collect. You did exactly what he wanted; you had fun! I'd try to remember some of the models he gave you and recollect them if possible. I've done that with action figures that my great uncle gave me back in the day that I promptly wrecked by playing with them.
It's a toy and your were a kid, I bet you had a way better time with it back then, compared to you now which would probably just look at it (no offense, just kids tend to make things special with their imagination)
Wow, you really fucked up bro. Your gramps obviously didn’t leave you the collection because he saw the way you treated the ones he had already given you. Way to miss that opportunity
I can’t even afford the $1 one… idk why I’m even gonna bother watching
As a diecast car collector and customizer, it's exciting to see Donut cover cars that are in other scales besides 1:1 😄🤟💪🤘🍩💨🚗
0:09 this is a very well done perspective shot.
This is a really fascinating world of auto memorabilia. Love this sort of thing
Jun Imai is a legend in the hotwheels/diecast cars community because technically he started the hotwheels classic jdm craze with his Datsun 510 (Kaido☆House), followed by Ryu Asada (RIP) and the Godfather himself, Mark Jones. These 3 legendary designers brought most of the muscle cars, JDM, europeans and even Rocket bunnies & LBWK
During a local diecast convention held back in May 2023, I actually saw him at Mini GT's large booth (the largest booth in the convention).
Too bad none of the Kaido House models match my taste tho, although I don't deny that they look good.
Only die-cast collectors would believe a paint error is somehow more valuable for its flaw. Anyway, I need to hear more about the Spiderstang...
Well production errors for any kind of toy usually makes them worth more, that isn't exclusive to die-casts and to be fair the wrong color does make it a much rarer car than the hundreds of thousands that are exactly the same except they don't have that color.
it applies to any collectible hobby, including money. a misprint will increase it's value more than a normal one.
@@user-bt8xr5si9y I still don't get WHY people pay more for that. If i would buy a Tesla and it has a bad paintjob i would call it normal and expected and you are telling me there are people that would pay 15x the price because of this?
@@DarkSession6208 It all has to do with supply and demand, misprints, paint errors, etc are usually caught before they leave the factory so very, very few actually make out to buyers. This results in the price going up as people who collect [insert item] want to have this rare item that few others have. Although i agree the prices do get very ridiculous
@@DarkSession6208 No you see this is different for actual cars.
You want your car to be as advertised because that is likely why you bought it. If your actual car has a manufacturing error in it you'd want that to get fixed, this is why stuff like recalls exist.
However toys are just that, toys and a toy car having a color that is very rare does make it much more valueable to collectors of such toy cars because it is much rarer.
That is why I said this extends to most toys but it doesn't extend to things you actually have to use on a daily basis like an actual car.
Personally I would not pay thousands of dollars or even hundreds for a toy car just because it has a different color but some people do and I do get why.
Hot wheels still does rare mystery box color combos. I only know this cause I worked at Target. The manufacture puts holes in the back of the mystery box's so you can see the car inside it because collectors would come in every morning to see if we got new ones, and rip the backs of the packaging to see what car it was.
Low key feel bad for Ken, brought him on for 30 seconds of screen time and that was about it
I like these different type of donut vids!
I had the green one . I gave them away to a friend in high school for her son . My grandpa and Great grandpa worked at General Motors. One was a tap and die maker, and the other was the supervisor that opens the Norwood plant . I had that one with the surfboards to. I probably had 2/300 hot wheels . i still have all my micro machines and I am 48
Any 3dbotmaker fans in here? As a grown man it’s the most exciting die cast racing I’ve ever seen 😅 and why I got back into it
I still would’ve raced these down my track.
You guys basically always make videos about things we were thinking of minutes or days prior, yesterday we started collecting hot wheels, and today you released a video about them, y'all are Houdini
Their company works perfectly with this expensive toy car. When getting an amount of worthy money, to own a model car that can literally move around any direction to have its own particular function
Y’all are the only channel where i won’t skip the ads lol (sometimes)
Another bucket swish
Shoulda’ let Ken educate us a lil more tho lol
Really cool to see one of my obscure hobbies in a donut video.
I believe the real reason for the change from rear-loading surfboards to side-mounted surfboards on the beach bomb was to widen it so it would work better in superchargers
between keeps and WD40 pocket version, and so many other ads, you guys make them entertaining to watch i feel like you could make extra money on the side making ads theyre just awesome and funny and the production is great
8 mil subscribers!!!!! Congrats!!!!!
Finally some diecast content. Thank you guys.
i like how the rarity meter was never full on the 1 of a kind models but some of which there are multiple of it was full.
Also these ads are fire, I never watch ads but you guys make it fun 😂
I have a box full of unopened hotwheels from the eraly 90's cause i thought they would be valuable when i was a kid. Still have em all unopened in my garage even though most of them arent worth much. Gotta really know what you are looking for to get into hot wheel collecting and as a 5 year old i had no clue what i was doing.
When I was a kid in the 80s, Matchbox had much nicer cars that Hot Wheels.
They were heftier, had better suspension and were not so "childish".
I had several rally cars based on real life rally monsters of that era, complete with true to scale liveries.
Agreed. I have a ton of mint 80s hot wheels and they were definitely built better than cars made now.
I really expected Nolan to start explaining why people are actually buying the cars there at the end but the video just ended🤣🤣🤣
I remember this old model I had. Don't remember what type of car it was (not a huge car person, but love the channel). I just remember being blown away by the detail, the wheel would turn the tires, the engine was incredibly detailed, etc.
Edit: I would love to see one of those ferrari models compared to the same model from another company, I imagine you wouldn't see much different from the higher end ones.
GET OUT OF MY HEAD LOL. I just spent the last day rearranging and building shelves to display my 1:18 diecast cars, load up YT and find this video! GOLD! As I ponder how to better display my Hotwheels collection better.
Editors: How many effects would you like in this video?
Donut: YES!
Loved all the Hot Wheels segments. I used to be an avid collector of Hot Wheels when I was a teenager back in the early to mid 2000 range. I miss it, but collecting Hot Wheels nowadays is a very expensive hobby. The prices of them just keep going up!
Yeah as a hot wheels collector who is a teenager it’s kind of hard to get a hold of a ton of cars I want because of the collector car market.
I'd argue it's a pretty cheap hobby if you primarily collect mainlines and live close to stores which sell them. The RLC scene is too expensive to be worth it imo. Too many passionless folks in it to make a buck nowadays.
@@flurpoid oh yeah I remember the RLC. I was part of it for about two years 2003-2005. I did get a few awesome collectibles from it though. It was fun while it lasted.
@@flurpoidThat's basically me. (No pun intended). My entire Hot Wheels collection consists of almost entirely mainlines from the mid-90s to today. Only about a month ago I bought my first Premium casting, the Speed Machines white Ford GT that honestly looks like it's from Gran Turismo 4.
You can't tell me they didn't put such a great effort on their advertisements. Today's ad is pure peak.
Bruce Pascal is such a cool guy. The work he has done with Mattel to categorize the history of Hot Wheels is amazing.
As a die cast collector, this is awesome!
For the Lesney Era Matchbox 6 Wheel Crane, tan was actually the rare color. and can sell for over a thousand dollars (in worse quality), which as me thinking you must have gotten a repro or a customized one. The more common color is silver which can be fairly easily obtained for ~$15
Yeah I didint believe that the silver one was rare. I have that one so I thought no way in hell would I own a $12,000 dollar car without knowing since I’m a nerd ass on matchbox and hot wheels
Glad to see some diecast content. There’s definitely some variation in prices and quality . 1:64 collector myself🤟🏼
"NOLAN is looking super handsome at his desk. The buffest horse. Toy cars on the desk look microscopic in comparison."
Brilliant
I once bought a HW Lamborghini Aventador in Lime green with white stripes. I noticed that after I bought it, it never had the glass installed in it. I've always wondered how much this defect made that car worth, or at least how rare it is. I would never assume that much but it's certainly something I've never seen before.
Yeah that’s an error which is a rare type of error. Had that one too but played with it as a kid
My family actually has probably about 50-60 model cars. Most of them from the 50s-80s. My grandfather bought and collected these, had them on a piedestal in the living room. Forbid anyone to ever touch them. Once he died my mum inherited them, and they are still in a piedestal, or most of them are. They are now toys to some of our nieces. But I am sure my mother does not let them play with the most expensive ones. But these cars look insanely detailed.
Dude I love y'all's ad, y'all the real MVP 💯
Nolan talking about model cars
that's what i needed today!
I love the large scale lego technics. The Porsche gt3rs and F40 were a blast to build and I really want another now lol
Even though the Ferrari models are like 10,500 up to 20k. The level of detail and the clean of paint is soo clean. Its art really
I've said once but I'll say it again your product ads are the best !! I miss the days when everything was in that old vhs print lol
I appreciate the attention to detail in the little dancing Nolan dancing to the background beat. Kudos, editors!
Love your videos ❤
Just started watching this and I can already tell it's going to be my favourite episode ever.
Hands down the best keeps ad ever. Very smart in the old deal.
I have to disagree with Donut on the pricing of those Ferrari models. Coming from the model railroad community, I've seen similarly sized models with a near or equal level of detail going for around $1,500 - $3,000, depending on the gauge, series, manufacturer, and model type. Lionel for example is notable for their Vision Line series, where everything from cab interiors, extra lighting, steam/pressure valves, emptying coal loads, steaming whistles, swinging bells, oscillating lights, and scale couplers are modeled. You can get even more detailed with larger models and there's some enthusiasts who have scale model steam locomotives that run off of actual steam with real working physical controls. You only start to see figures around $10,000 - $20,000 when you get to the models large enough that you can actually ride them. This just seems like another case of Ferrari being Ferrari and overpricing everything.
Can you imagine how many people have thrown away collectibles without even knowing how much they can get 😮😮😮😮😮😅
"Men don't grow, their toys become more expensive"
A wise man said once.
Today's Keeps commercial surpassed any commercial I've ever seen, remarkable!
Dude no way this is sick.
I build model cars as well. Kits are going for $30+ now but then when we add photo etch parts, paint, clear coats, 3d parts and other things. It tallies up to $125 or more and if you want a specific person to paint the car it will go for $250. But the answer Why would anyone would pay that much, here's a quote my old Boss told me, "Cuz I can Afford it and you can't" No truer word than that. 😂😢
Hell yeah Ken! Glad to see him on the channel. He really is a cool dude!
6:21 It is a super treasure hunt. They cost a lot of dough. But an error STH will be worth as much your house
I'm so tempted to build one or some custom Hot Wheels models for the Donut crew... No idea how I'd get em there or what they'd want to see, tho, haha
My most expensive hotwheels is a 2012 ferrari 599xx . Worth about 200$ my whole collection is worth thousands . Its an addicting hobby for sure
The best keeps advert so far. Just brilliant
Most of those rarities are worth only to specific brand collectors, people who have collections of only 1 brand (mostly Hot Wheels or Matchbox). They're not meant so much for car enthusiasts.
Nowadays there are other brands in the marker that deliver high quality models for not too much money, such as MINI GT, Tarmac Works, Kyosho, POP Race, and many, many more, these are aimed towards car enthusiasts who don't care too much about rarities, brands, or nostalgia.
I don't have a car but, I'm still binge watching donut, I just found out this channel 4 days ago, now got addicted to their content I'm in 56th video of theirs. Love it, in the future I will get my own car.
You're late to the party bro
We need Up to Speed again
There are also other 1/64 scale brands that are much more detailed and expensive. Brands like MiniGT, Tarmac Works, Inno64 and Tomica Limited Vintage go for $20-$150 regularly, but they're of much higher quality and lower production numbers than HW and Matchbox.
exactly I hoped they would about Mini GT and Tarmac Works
This reminds me of a only woody panel van with rubber wheels. The only car I ever had with rubber wheels.
I think my dad has a couple of the higher costing die-cast cars from back in the 80’s. If I’m thinking correctly it’s an original hot wheels redline still in the packaging.
No. I’m sorry but redlines ran from 1968 to 1977 so if there from the 80s they are not redlines. Maybe you might be talking about the hot wheels vintage redline series with reproduction redlines that ran in the early 90s
@@shawnsdiecast7852🤓
@@shawnsdiecast7852 maybe I got the years wrong but my dad has a few redlines
I never know there is world expensive Diecast at all 😮
Diecast cars collecting is a thing since the late 20th-century. Hot Wheels and Matchbox aren't the only 1:64 diecast manufacturers out there. Here are some more examples:
Mini GT (Hong Kong)
Tarmac Works (Hong Kong)
Ignition Model (Japan)
InnoModels (China/Hong Kong)
LCD Models (China)
Micro Turbo (China)
For these brands, their cars don't classify as toys, but collector models.
The “Holy Grail” joke made me chuckle more than it should have… well played, Nolan, well played.
Glad to say I have some Aussie model vehicles in my collection. A Holden Ute (HZ I Think), Holden FJ Panelvan and two EF Ford Falcons.
As a diecast collector myself, I think I'll stay happy with my 1:18 scale AUTOarts (among other makes), thank you very much.
Oh yeah, 1:18 is just the perfect scale. Not too small, big enough to have tons of detail and in the whole theme of things mostly relatively affordable.
Same here 1/18 GT Spirit, ignition, ottomobile,kyosho, minichamps hot wheels elite I'll buy them all and my wife says I have issues. Lol
AUTOart would be my choice should I ever buy a 1:18 in the future lol. 😬🤣 I've seen a number of them in-person, including a BAC Mono.
If they ever make a Nissan Silvia S15 Spec R in Brilliant Blue, especially if it's lightly modded aesthetically, take my money! 🤣🤣🤣
I have a feeling that the reason people would be willing to spend so much on these Model Cars is the same reason Watch Collectors spend so much. They are almost guaranteed to hold if not increase in value. So it’s essentially like investing in gold to that you can also display.
Except that would only make sense if they were then sold at a later date, which collectors are not want to do because it defeats the purpose of having a collection, so it's irrelevant.
I love the minds of collectors.
"ITS RAREEEEE QUICK PAY A MILLION BUCKS FOR IT!"
I think the answer to "Why?" is the same as the trading card and collectors video game market. A lot of these collectors marketplaces (most, I'd argue) artificially drive up the prices so that when a rich sucker eventually gets their hands on it, the sellers can cash out. It's usually a pretty complex system run by just a few people at the top, but there's also a lot of real collectors mixed in there.
Honestly though it's not artificially driving up the prices like how you describe it when what's really powering the inflation is a rat race. I know how the collecting community is because I've been in it for some time... and theyre like a bunch of rabid, wild animals when something new and popular comes out. People have gotta have it before the other guy so they can become king of the hill and prove their dick is 1/10 an inch longer than the other dude's. The point: it's not just a few dudes at the top driving up the prices. People want what's rarest, what's newest, what's popular, and what holds market value well like RLC cars, Redlines, Super Treasure Hunts, etc., and there is a big market avalible for people who can get the rare stuff for cheap and resell it at a price point majority of collectors are willing to pay. Highrollers are the ones who usually get into the 1000s terrirtory. The people who make good money from it are the ones who can get the rare stuff in bulk and sell auction style or BIN prices. On top of that, people don't just collect to hoard they collect to resell, and I think that the prevalence of resellers is what makes the market pretty toxic. Everybody wants to resell, so you have people who make a system of it by getting multiples of things cheap and then marking up for higher than they paid. Honestly, it's just a ridiculous pursuit. What strikes me so much about it is how collectors will spend to their own detriment just to feel accepted and have status in a community.
All value increasing beyond inflation is technically artificial. But it is easy to see the pathetic scalpers etc in my collecting hobby too, listing items 25-50% or more above market purely out of greed and an attempt to massively drive up values for no reason. Complete lowlife losers.
High pricing (even when it's irrational) also creates a sense of desirability to some people. Some people's sole prerogative in collecting is owning something "valuable" and sought after. Scalpers know these types of people are extremely easy to take advantage of, that's why prices are so inflated for mass produced models.

Nope
Yeah, true.
