I'm a guy who started collecting Matchbox in 1965. The matchbox Mitsibusi Galant and the Matchbox Toyota Celica which you showed at the beginning of the case reveal are two of four castings that Matchbox had made in Japan as a test for that market. They were outside of the normal 1-75 series originally and later showed up in the line at different times... The number 73 Mercury Wagon in red was a modified casting of the green wagon. The sticker on the hood is usually a steer head. The sticker on your car is from the number 1 Mod Rod. However in the early 1970s, if one line ran out of stickers, stickers were grabbed from another line to finish out the run. If yours came with that sticker originally, it would be a very rare version. The only way to tell for sure would be to find that car sealed in an original blister pack, as changing stickers is not all that hard to do.

My dad had a lot of these matchbox in his original collection he passed down to me including the Wells Fargo truck. What an awesome score!

Love those old Tomicas. Just bought Tomica n62 Datsun Bluebird U with those old type wheels. It have great details as taillights, headlights, grille and base. Those 70's Tomicas aren't cheap today, and hard to find.

I've still got one of those Wells Fargo matchbox trucks, but I've never seen one in such good condition. When I was younger I had a 1/64 scale junkyard, but it was outside. The little paint left on my Wells Fargo truck has turned pink from being in the sun, the plastic roof is gone, it's full of dirt, but I still have it for an indoor junkyard diorama that I'm working on.

Those big black numbers written on the base will be easy to take off with alcohol and elbow grease. Your girlfriend is very understanding. A keeper!

This haul is vintage loveliness my friend and the star of the show for me was the Wells Fargo armored van! Thank you for sharing this:-)

Those big plastic cars like the Richard Petty one were tough and fun to play with. Great jumpers!

Epic haul O-dawg! You probably didn't end up paying much more than international Ebay shipping in the end.. That Tomica Mitsubishi Fuso Bus is highly collectable in that condition and the fact that you found a Fairly Z, Toyota 2000 gt, Toyota Celica, Mazda Savanna, etc, etc in perfect condition is amazing!!!! The Tomica Mazda Savanna GT (amazing find) was sold internationally as the Mazda RX-3, another Japan Historics release! A quick Ebay search turned up only 1 Tomica Mazda Savanna for $40 USD so its definitely rare and even rarer in perfect shape. I'm extremely jealous. Just those Tomicas could easily run up to $400 on Ebay so really epic haul!

I know this is 3 years late but I just saw this video in my feed. What an amazing haul, brother. I mean...wow....what a fantastic bunch of cars. Really enjoyed each piece.

The Majorette Trucks are awesome. I had a lot of them in my youth. The brand Scania is part of the Volvo-company from Sweden. The price for the Majorette trucks is very expensiv in North-America. In Europe you can find them sometimes for cheaper money on Ebay in France or Germany.

"Grandpa's dead, here a collection, give it to the kids..." LMAO....another great one liner from my Canadian buddy!

Wow! What a stroke of luck finding these. Awesome!

Those vintage Tomicas were incredible...I recently acquired a could old Tomica FJ40 Land Cruisers that are now my pride and joy...highly recommend you look into adding them to your growing Tomica collection

Wow that is a great haul! Great seeing more of those Tomicas!

thanks for showing these buetiful car i appreciate your videos the other day i went to a thrift store and found a bag full of old tomica lesney and tootsie cars there was at least 15 cars in the bag for 5bucks its amazing what you can find if your looking again amazing video thanks for the way you present the cars have a great day my friend

That Tomica 2000GT is a very rare model. Great haul indeed!

Good old days when there were nothing to spare.

Congrats !! Great finds on the Majorettes and Tomicas.

I love those majorette big rigs.

You do a fantastic job, keep up the great work !

Great video! The Coca Cola Corvette I was told was made by Hartoy. They also made the 4x4 that was a knockoff of the Matchbox truck that looked similar ("Mountain Man or something like that).

awesome finds - congrats !

Those majorette rigs are amazing..awesome man...I really like that Cherry X-1 too..but the entire haul is Great!

very cool stuff

You can remove the "169" with some acetone since it is just on the base... It will come right off and not harm the car.. Great Vid... Love the bus and the stories!!

Hey man! that pair of trucks SCANIA are great, is a Swedish brand, very popular in Europe and Latin America, congrats! that model is the SCANIA 113 H or 114 H, both are very similar

WOW YOU SCORED!!!!!!

Congrats on a awesome haul

That Cherry X1 is a Datsun 100A Cherry, my mum had the real thing when I was growing up, mechanically nuke proof, but rusted like mad. Great haul there bud, from a fan in the UK

I used to have that bus !

I have boxes and boxes of old loosies and I there were a few tractors that I had no clue about. So you can imagine my surprize when I saw both tractors, one blue, one light brown on this video!! I don't think I have the trailers but I definitely have the tractors. I also have a few LaFrance tractors also, some with trailers. I have the tractor and trailor NASA rig which is awesome!! Love you videos bro! I'm about fiddy miles north of Toronto on the southeast tip of Lake Simcoe in a small town called Keswick. I think I may have "axed" you where you were a couple of years back, but can't remember...where are you? Jack

even tho this is six years old, you forgot to the the bottom of the first case!!!

The yellow Tomica Mazda is the same that the HW Purple Mazda from the japanese series

nice collection dude but i found it hilarious when u said scania. Here in Scotland every other truck is a Scania. lolu should check out the latest generation of Scania. Very impressive.

there is a Porsche in that Coke series too The Tomicas are my favorites of these

The coke thing was made by Zee Toys, I believe.

paint the head lights in on trucks .will look better

The Coca Cola car is made by Matchbox, because I have a Matchbox that has the same wheels and opening doors, as your Coca Cola car.

Got a question. I have been hearing that the matchbox and hot wheels big rigs such as semi trucks, dump trucks etc.. are closer or exactly to 1/87th scale. can you give some information on what you know?

I really wanna get some Tomica die casts but they are so expensive on trade me here in NZ. 8:01 [muffled 90s finish techno playing in the distance] .

I have a few vintage tomicas

Can you please do a vintage Hotwheels video?😸😸😎😎

Matchbox during the early years were made by Lesney.

there was 5 more cars in the case on the left

The mercury i have in the red just the same but a buffalo sticker on the hood. The other i have is in coolant green no sticker but is pre superfast wheels. That green one no ridges on the roof Im in Australia

the cars in the bottom of the one case did you miss them?

12:03 it also makes me cringe when parents let their kids buy a mint old matchbox as it could eventually meet its doom from being hit by a spade or something. Mind you i am guilty of this one.

Scania comes from Sweden :D

my on has that bus but not in that good condition bro where do you live I live in usa cool finds ; 0

Too bad Tomica doesn't make their cars like they used too... They used to be so heavy and nice detailed.. Now it's a little more plastic and the detail sucks a little...

those viches tho

are you going to do a video of all your 58 Plymouths?

Congrats on those beautiful minty tomicas. They are all little gems, and when you get them so pristine and shiny it's got to be time to dig deep. I cringed when you said about grandpas cars I know of a heap that have gone that way, I just have to bite my lip and look on. Despite me telling my friends with cash to save them. Ouch. The first 2 Superfast cars. Japanese matchbox ? I am looking for the missing 4 out of nine castings. Kinda in a research capacity as I don't think I will ever find them. Check Instagram kennyk_hw_oz. He has a pic of the 5 lesney moulds sent to Japan for release. Very interesting stuff.

I have the torus wagon if you need it I will trad you for something

Wait a minute....Grandpa died?!? Can I have his cars?

This flea market... Any info on it? Location wise?

What does mint or minty mean?

i mean son

wanna sell a Japan historic set!?! I'll pay shipping and your price please

Scanais always spin out that suck
