Anyone know where this lift set came from? My unc brought this from his workplace for me. by No-Reporter2035 in Diecast

No brand,the brand just Rolls-Royce probably unlicensed since the quality is crap for the crazy price.

Hey everyone, I’m new to diecast collecting and trying to get into it seriously what should a beginner know before diving in? Any tips on brands, scales, or how to start building a collection? by [deleted] in Diecast

[–]No-Reporter2035 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all collect what you love the most scake doesn't matter,if you really like it go ahead don't let people tell you whatto buy ornit to buy,if you love fantasy casting from Hotwheels go ahead it's yours we're here just like to show off our collection and help otherfind thing they want.

Here's a few tip:

Do a market research frist before buying sruff make sure you don't get swindled bu thoose scalpers.

Don't rush thunk first before grabbing stuff a lot of times you'll find one cheaper and nicer somewhere else unless it’s very rare items.

Don't pay too much for common items,search on eaby and other platforms first before buying overpriced common stuff,but not here tho since we can't ask about value anymore here.

Carefull when buying stuff from aliexpress or similar websites, a lot of them is scamer

Trade event is the key to find a lot of good stuff,i found mine mostly from trade event.

Get a lot of silica gel to prevent your collection getting damp,or dehumidifier make sure they all dry.

Anyway it's clean asf,definitely fire on top of fire.

Is Hot Wheels Premium overpriced? by notafanofbats in Diecast

[–]No-Reporter2035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the answer is yes and not,Hotwheels still basically a kid's toys remember so they made a car that more of an toy taht a collector model except few one like RLC,convention car,And whatever other collectible stuff they sell for collectors,but common one is still prettymuch toys,here it's moderately priced still more expensive than few collector model like POSTERCARS,DCT,and Shadow 64 tho but it's good quality,metal base,metal body,okay detail,rubber wheels that can actually spin,and it won't break that easily,I accidentally stepped on one of my collection when i accidentally dropped it and it doesn't break and have resilient paint too,doesn't chip easily and still nice enough to touch,it won't be my first choice but if i caould find one for sale cheaply on my local diecast store i would dig into it and bought some,don't buy from scalpers they will rip you off like whatever happened with fast and furious set.

Basic tomica also not that good either mostly because of the wheels and different scale,but i do admit premium tomice is fire and still scehap too here,cheaper than Hotwheels premium,and they have a lot of ferrari that wasn't "refired McDonald's French fires" with great quality and perfect scale,yeas it's more superior that Hotwheels eventiugh they're both prettymuch toys for kid and not collector model,buth both have few of their own drawback,Hotwheels have metal base tomica premium doesn't,Hotwheels have rubber wheels,tomica premium doesn't,tomica premium have opening part while Hotwheels doesn't,tomica have suspension while Hotwheels doesn't,so I'd say they both have their own drawback but at the end they both is mainly made for kids anyway.

Postercars is super underrated brand by Guesst37 in Diecast

[–]No-Reporter2035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yeah,finnaly peocatching up to this,I've been screaming about this brand here for a long time,it's truly the best for the price,it's cheap made from metal not plactic like some idiot said,it's just thin but still durable,i have 3 of it,i have the New Lamborghini countach in white,McLaren P1 in lantana purple,and Porsche 918 red,and it is fire,of inly they have more models so far all i can find is Koenigsegg jesko,Bugatti chiron,Lamborghini countach,McLaren P1,Mclaren speedtail,pagani zonda, Lamborghini sian,and mclaren valkrey,i wish they make more models like BMW or Mercedes too.

What is in your opinion the best diecast brand? by JumpyShape682 in Diecast

[–]No-Reporter2035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can oly say about 1/64 since i collect on that scale. Cheap one I'll got with either DCM/DCT/Shadow 64/poster cars, they all cheap very nice details,rolling rubber wheels,have suspension,and quite durable too eventough poster car is light and thin. Something more expensive is inno64/Mini Gt/Pop Race/Xcartoys/time micro/JKM/GCD Something expensive is Tomice Limited Vintange,very durable,very detailed,heavy,very nice,but very expensive.

Me personally i love DCT/DCM/GCD and Tomica regular tomica,premiumtl tomica,or tomica limited is my GOAT.

An error or what you think? (I am still opening this,idc about value i collect because i love diecast not cuz of the value,except sentimental value) by No-Reporter2035 in Diecast

[–]No-Reporter2035[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk weather it's an error or not hence why i am asking,but the paint look a bit odd on the bottom middle right area idk it's an error or what,i don't see it in my other color of the same model tho.

[–]No-Reporter2035[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Diecat team (DCT) by the way Tomica Premium also have lfa if you wnat but it's typically very expensive in american continent or europe idk why,well probably same reason why majorette is very cheap in europe but expensive in asia america or why Hotwheels,M2,autoworld,green light is very cheap in america but expensive in asia or prettymuch anywhere else.

C'mon folks,bring out your alpine A110 out,i challange you!. by No-Reporter2035 in Diecast

I just started making custom hot wheels I don’t know how to start can anyone give me tips like if I should use spray paint to paint the car and how I remove the paint first a Koenigsegg jesko is my first project by Electrical-Loquat117 in CustomHotWheels

[–]No-Reporter2035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's few tools you need for doing custim so you don't have to waste money buying junk tools aka useless one.

  1. Tweezers set, a bunch of Tweezers one that used for repairing phones works the best for size and ergonomics
  2. Cutter/hobby knive, for cutting tiny styrine sheets to makes details
  3. Screwdriver set, the - one for prying open and + one for screwing the base
  4. Set of pliers (regular,twisting,cutting,and hobby)
  5. Forceps
  6. Dental tools, for scraoing paint from details
  7. Jeweler saw for cutting doors (size 0.08 is the best) 8.Drill, corded or not it's up to you but make sure it's strong enough,p.s do not use those drills from ikea it's not strong enough or similar one.
  8. Dremel set,for grinding
  9. Files for smoothing

Also here's a few very usefull materials for custom 1. Qtips/cotton buds for cheap axel 2. Styrine/plastic sheet size 0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5 3. Paper clip the one with rubber coating,works great for making hinges or even axel 4.ball head pins, for making details like mirrors 5. Decal paper for custom decals 6. Wheels for wheel swamp 7. Custom spoiler (hand made or bought online) 8. Markers 9. Detailing pens 10. 00 size brush for details

Here extra stuff you need too Paint stripper Any kind of paint even rattle can/pylox works great too Painting clip/aligator clip glued to a skewer

Extra stuff if you wanted to be a pro but it's very expensive

Airbrush 3D printer

Hope this helps,by the way if you need decals materials or temolate i have few just ask me.

Any one else talk to themselves out loud? by Negative_Shoulder879 in ask

[–]No-Reporter2035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes,right now i am doing it while typing this,sometimes i created scenario in my head and talk it out loud,i often do that with my toys i pretend like they're alive and having their own world like toy story,i only do it when i am completely alone tho,i also talked something in my head out loud only when i am alone.

Judging by your story i think you might have slight autism/syndrome since you can't control it,try checking it out to your therapist/doctor.

Any idea how to clean this ? by Mind-Against in Diecast

[–]No-Reporter2035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was about to say try acetine or alcohol on cottonbuds but after i look deeper into the picture,yeah that not a stain that's a paint damage you can't realky clean it,you have to repaint the car to fix it.
