    2:56 my man, I'd put that blue sticker on myself, seeing as I collect HW, MBX and Tomica, since they scale very good with each other 😅I checked out the Aliexpress link, I'm now contemplating on getting one of the car dealership dioramas for custom Porsches I want to make.

      Lol! I hope your wallet can forgive me 😤🤣 there’s so many bankrupting awesome products on AliExpress. I just can’t believe how little I had to pay for the display I built in this video.
      I think because with the light on. The blue and white stickers are the best options as they let the most light through when you switch the display on. Filming this G-Fans Diecast model store at night was a lot of fun 11:22 super happy this video inspired you man. Appreciate your awesome comment and thanks for the support too. Go easy on your wallet yeah? Haha. Good luck with the customs mate

      Hey man! How’s it going. Hope you’re doing great this week. Super happy this video inspires you. For sure, pick up this display and have fun with it. I’ve always been more of a loose and display focused collector so naturally making these and enjoying different ways to display my collector is my passion. Oh, whilst I’m here. Did you pick up any new Diecast models this week? I have a new RLC car to open soon which I’m looking forward too. I also found the Hirohata Merc today so grabbed that one as I really enjoy that green colour. Wish you a great day my friend. Thank you always for you kind comments. You’re the best 🚗💨

    Funny you mention those armored tank like bubble tubes. I buy quite a few customs etc from various southeast Asian countries and they all use them. They form them into great custom shapes depending upon what I am buying and how much.
    Another really cool thing is I save them to reuse for when I ship stuff out and after several months they have lost literally no air. They are clearly not those cheap air pillows Amazon, Mattel and others use.

If you jump on AliExpress and type in "1:64 car mat" you'll find a wide selection of different and fun designs to choose from. Won't be hard to find the mat I'm using. If you have the space I'd say get a big one! Whilst I'm here. I just uploaded a brand new video. Hope you'll watch it when you're next free. And lastly. More diorama building videos coming up very soon! Wish you a great day my friend. Good luck hunting for car mats 👍

    • @customcollects
      @customcollects  Před měsícem +1

      Greetings! Thanks mate. You're too kind. I definitely put the hours into this video and as you can see it's been the most popular upload on my channel to date. Yes! 100% I have spoken with another person who left a comment on this video and I explained that AliExpress isn't straight forward when it comes to pricing. That's why you won't see a lot of products listed at 19.99 or 20.00 and it's all random as prices that rise and fall every day. It's likely that this video as influenced sales due to increased traffic which is understandable. I hope that you can get your hands on this diorama display in the future. Keep your eye on it for sure! Hope you're doing great today. Thanks again for taking the time to leave positive vibes. I really appreciate the support. Wish you a great day 🚗💨

      Hey, how’s it going! Thanks for the kind words and for the support. Much appreciated. Super happy you enjoyed the vid too. Means a lot to me that you took the time to leave an awesome comment. Thank you. You’re much like me and probably remember the old AliExpress from back in the day. The whole business has done a complete 180 in more recent years and I really can’t sing their praises enough. There are a lot of great email updates and correspondence regarding your order so it’s definitely a business I feel happy to make videos about as I’m keen to inspire and help other fellow Diecast collectors.
      You can see reviews from others and read about their experiences too. It’s definitely legit.
      Having 6 skylines lined up inside your JDM display sounds epic! Do you have a favourite? I’d say I’m mostly an R34 fan but you gotta love the c210 as well. Total classic! Hope I could further help you to grow your Diecast display collection. A lot of fun for sure. Wish you a great day! 🚗💨

      Hey! How’s it going? Appreciate the really kind comment and I’m really pleased you enjoyed this one. AliExpress is definitely a really dangerous place… for your wallet!! Haha. So far I must say after purchasing quite a few of these products I have had zero issues with the quality or any of the parts included. Perhaps you can modify the parts that don’t fit perfectly so that they better work together? It’s a lot of fun building these displays and most certainly the best excuse to open more of your Diecast products. Appreciate the support mate. You’re the best. Super happy you enjoyed the vid 🚗💨

    • @MdDiecastHunter

      @customcollects Diecast in general is dangerous for my wallet😭, I did get the Gulf garage sorted out and put together, just took a little extra time as I sat a weighted piece on them to help straighten stuff out, I am a mainly open collector because of the dioramas and love setting up scenes and taking pictures. Thanks for sharing

      Thanks man. You’re very kind. Glad you got things sorted!

      @customcollects Dioramas are great in general to express what you love about car culture, I am looking forward to the Gran Turismo R34 Nissan Skyline that is coming out and have the Elite 64 Datsun 240z pre-ordered, I do collect other brands and have about 5 cars on pre-order counting the Datsun I mentioned above. I appreciate you chatting with me and wish you a great day as well and good luck on the hunt out there🙏

    • @customcollects
      @customcollects  Před měsícem +1

      You’re the best! Chatting on here is one of the best parts about making videos. I have infinite amounts of time to discuss Diecast! Best hobby on the planet. I was dead set on the elite 64 Datsun until I noticed… no mirrors! Gotta love the stance though. Very cool. You’re right that picking up 1 or 2 of each of the skyline pop cultures is a must for every Diecast collection. Personally I’m sure stoked on Slide Street 2 and those euro World Tour castings. I’ll get working on my next upload soon, hope you’ll be back to watch it. Need to get out hunting too. Best of luck to you to mate. Stay lucky 🤝

Name another app that you can download for free that then opens up a lot of opportunities to discover and buy Diecast model cars. Diorama displays. Diecast storage options. Diecast display and beyond! In the past I know people were wary of AliExpress but in more recent years things have really improved and I can't recommended all of the hard work business that operate on AliExpress enough. Be sure to check real reviews to ensure you have a great experience using the app : )

      Hey how's it going! Ah yes. Do you mean because they are slightly longer vehicles than say a Honda civic? For sure! Yes. These are perfect for 1:64 scale model cars. If you search for a generic garage style display that would look great! A workshop design would be perfect. I had a Quick Look for you and I didn't see a batman art design but definitely have a look yourself. Thanks for leaving a comment and thanks for the support. Appreciate your time and kindness.

      Hey how's it going! Ali Express change their prices ALLL the time. It's why everything on there isn't a straight forward price like 19.99 or 20. I actually think that perhaps this video has influenced sales and therefore prices are changing. Supply and demand etc. be sure to check back in the future. I've been chatting to other collectors from all over and prices vary country to country. I hope you can find this display for a great price. Appreciate the comment and the insight.

      Hello. Thanks for stopping by the video. Prices for these displays change daily and go up and down all the time. I thought about this before posting my video and all I can tell you is that AliExpress are likely to show you a different price to another user. That’s why pricing isn’t straight forward. For example… You won’t ever see a whole number like $20.00 or $30.00. My advice to you is to try both the AliExpress app and then open your web browser and see if that’s any better. Make sure that you investigate discount codes and other discount methods to best help you to find a great price. Hope this helps you fellow Diecast collector 🚗💨

      Yeah nice! AliExpress have an event on right now which runs until June 7th. Prices will go up and down all the time. That's why you'll never see prices like 19.99 or 20.00 flat. It also depends which country you live in and other factors too can influence price. I've read comments from some people who found the product as a much higher cost but I'm really pleased that you commented to let me know that you found it for a really great price. That's awesome!
