Hello Hodgie! Ertl is made about 60 miles away from me here in Iowa. I was remembering back to some of quotes from the movie, somebody asked Jamie Farr "what do you have in that thing"? He replies "stock". Yeah boy, good old days.

Some super nice vintage pieces, thanks for showing all of them, I really liked these!....Bill

Ah they all bring back childhood memories ah the good old movie days when you could leave your keys in the car house open awesome, now days never, some awesome collectables thankyou cheers KC

Those were all my favorite shows and movies i grow up too Wow the merries u just brought back thanks bub that was great wish i still had all mine

What a nice collection of this popular Filmcars i know the most of this since from my Childhood!!👍 ... and the funniest thing is i watched the movie " the Canonball race " this morning on TV here in Germany 😊( all translatet in German 😂) ...I think those classic Car movies are still cool today ...I like to watched them still

LOL, Six Pack...had a neighbor/classmate who loved that movie. We watched it a few times. My 80s movie I watched several times was The Wraith.

Damn, some great stuff. Cannonball run is one of my favorite movies

Nice trip down memory lane, big fan of Smokey& the Banit 1,2 & 3 ,Canon Ball movies, Dukes of Hazzard series and so on and so forth , George thanks for memories from your collection of diecast. I trust that you & Your family had a wonderful Christmas & wish you all a Happy New Year🎊🎉, take care buddy.

I'd watched Danny Diecast fix those Ertl Duke of Hazzard Cars and even made some home made customs based off of the Cars from the TV Show out of Matchbox Cars maybe you can make some home made customs too since your good at it. R.I.P. Burt Reynolds 1936-2018 you were one of my favorite stars in stunts & car chases.

I had a could of these cars!! I remember my cousin had the Dukes of Hazzard playset!;🧡🤘🏼

Wow I had all of these cars as a kid. Thanks so much for the memories. Brings back a lot of good times.

Damn we have a lot of the same cars. I absolutely love the play set. It's so cool that they have Charlotte. Thanks for bringing back so many great memories 🍻

I'll have to keep my eyes open for more of these... Every once in a while i see one or two of these at toy shows....

I had that same Mr. Tee action figure! :D I love the General Lee there. I had one that was 1/24 scale but when I was a kid, I made it do all kinds of stunts which ruined the paint on it. Wish I kept it. I could've gotten it re-detailed. I remember Cannonball Run. I can't believe they got so many stars in that movie. The main actor from Hardcastle & McCormick came to my city (Orlando) last year. I didn't have time to meet him though. Many regrets. Good video

George! OMG! I love ERTL’s! You have the Holy Grail(s) mint on card. I enjoyed the video so much. Looking forward to the next one.

Love the Red and Silver Chevy C-10 long bed in the back ground .

I have that same General Lee and boss hoggs car plus Roscoe and Enus sheriff cars and Daisey jeep. All from 1984 and all loose. I have them in a display cabinet with glass door to keep the dust out 😁👍

Hey Brother, Man that's a trip worth taking, Loved all those movie's and show's as a kid but never had any of the car's to play with. Boo Hoo. Cool stuff. Cheer's Buddy.

I have the Porsche but mine is missing the passenger side door . I picked up the Dukes of Hazzard 3 pack on the card a few ago . The six pack car is killer man! I loved that movie growing up 😂. I had a bunch of the Hardee’s cars growing up. Good memories

Thank you for sharing your tote from your parents house, course I'm looking forward to seeing what else was in there, I did happen to see the little road Champion Dukes of Hazzard cars or something I have those that are like Micro Machines also, i also have that three pack my son and I dug them out of my parents attic Last Summer. All of the other ertal ones I kind of remember having some of them but haven't seen them and 37 years. It is awesome you dug them out to share my friend. It sure does take me back to when I was a kid. That is a damn nice collection, a nice rainy day we'll make a great time to watch a video about the rest of your tote. Hope your Christmas was well and sorry for leaving such long comments, I just can't help myself.

Very cool trip down memory lane George, I remember all of these from back in the day. Haven't had a lot of time for youtube recently but trying to catch up on what I've missed during the holidays and this is awesome content to see.

ERTL cars were just made to play with - they were tougher than a lot of other brands. For some reason, here in the UK, they were very expensive, and, as you say, they were not often the correct vehicles. I wasn't buying cars in the early 1980's; I was in my very late teens, but my kid brother was - he's always been a bit OCD with accuracy, and, although he loved 'The Cannonball Run' and 'Smokey And The Bandit' (still does, me too - they're classics), he wouldn't buy the ERTL models, as they were the wrong cars. I never knew ERTL made action figures, though. That Burt Reynolds figure looks very nice indeed. Interesting video. Thank you!

I've also got the Green Light A Team van,Bandit Trans Am, Buford T Justice's patrol car, Junior Justice's Pontiac, And the Starsky And Hutch Zebra Three...

Great memories! I had a lot of those when I was young! Greenlight is doing the fall guy truck soon so I'll be sure to look for that! Great video!

Nice collection.. I enjoyed reliving my childhood!

We have an Ertl 'Bandit' Firebird and the 'General Lee'. Hear tell that before Burt had passed there were plans for another Bandit movie where they smuggled straws into California. _The kids are thirsty in Santa Barbara and there's straws in Texarkana_ _Westbound and down... loaded up and sluckin'_

Great video, thanks for the walk down memory lane.

What a cool collection George, its great that you kept everything packaged! 😎 ERTL sure made a bunch of TV and movie cars, although they were not exactly quality reproductions of the actual cars, lol 😆 I forgot how many there were! Never saw the Smokey and The Bandit playset before, thanks for sharing buddy 👍😁

Fantastic to see George, thanks so much for sharing. Just love the Smokey and the bandit playset with the elephant, and yes the stickers on the old general Lee are appalling! When is part 3 😉 Peace, respect and stay safe Sir, Ben

I watched most of these shows growing up...

I can remember having the Six Pack car...when you bought it out I was literally like OMG.... can't believe that they have survived all this time. I believe that the Simom and Simon car was just a regular Z-28 and not an IROC.

Awesome buddy thanks for sharing buddy I had a lot of them and I lost them it’s so cool that you still have them keep up the great videos 😎👍🏻👍🏻

Brought back lots of memories, could have watched that all day.

Plenty of good memories there for many of us! Either the diecast, seeing the movies, tv shows, the era, what you were doing etc! Good one, cheers! Your family are having a clean up!

Good to have so many mint examples George.👍 We had most, maybe all, of these shows in Scotland but by then, I had pretty much given up with diecasts. When Matchbox went to Superfast, I just lost interest. I maybe missed out on some cool stuff but I preferred the quality of the old Matchboxes. Cheers for now, Dougie.

Thanks for the memories. I still have my Ertl starsky and hutch i need to restore. It's rough

Loved the video! Man you have some nice gems!

WoW that's a Great collection ya have their Canon ball run Smokey n da Bandit n Burt Reynolds were my Heroes as a kid n I used to pretend I was driving the Fall Guys pick-up when out in my dad's work van I've always wanted a fall guy pick-up 1/64 n real one hey maybe one day. Thanks for sharing n the memories. How did you manage to not open n play with any of them I couldn't do it even now I'd have to open n play with them. Full Send U.K.

That is the coolest collection man..grew up in the 70's and 80's with those shows and movies..haha now I'm gonna be stuck with Jerry Reed singing east bound and down in my head for the rest of the day. Cheers from Australia

Wow brother thats a lot of Great stuff and cars i never new exsisted LOL!!! I found alot of them loose and now i see where they come from Thnx!!!

Damn Hodge, how do you forget about these?

Nice collection

Some cool cars George, some series I know we never had here. The only ERTL stuff I know of that made it over to this side of the pond were Thomas The Tank Engine stuff :(

Very cool collection there.

Awesome collection 👍👍😊

Wow your collection is awesome. I have two of those Caprices.

LOL ! You're just like me ! I pick out all the automotive inconsistencies in T.V. and movies. I had everyone of those cars except the cody coyote (never seen one). That Burt Reynolds figure fit into the 25th scale diecast Trans-am that ertl made. Cool video brother !🍻

thanks for sharing great video

Super Like from Spain!!!!!!

Thank you what a tremendous collection pop the cards one day you're going to die somebody else going to open those cards from the 1980s

Reminiscing down memory lane George cool stuff man

I have the Sheik's Rolls Royce from The Cannonball Run in my collection...

The bandit's never guna fit in that car! Great stuff mate. Jelly. I wonder how many kids had all those playsets?

Nice set like to have them

Makes me feel old looking at these cars now

Wonder why ertl produced an 82 firebird with camaro rear lights? It and Simon and Simon was my favorite

fun fact the smokey and the bandit trans am was a 76 body with the new upcoming 77 trans am nose

I have a few die cast cars from the 70's and 80's movies but I thought the Porsche in the Cannonball Run was a RUF...

I Love Movie Cars 👍👍👍

Whats your 10-4. I need to come and Rob you...haha man this was Interesting. Did not know they eksisted. So many cool cars,AND in blisters!!!. Wish i crew up in usa and Canada when i was young...

Like de México city buenos car

Had a few of these like most of us but mine sure don’t look that good now. Now that I’m thinking about it - these weren’t at the top of my fav list then either.

ERTL thought EVERYONE were dumb. Up 'till AMT was bought by Round2, their General Lee model kit had the body of a '69 Charger 500! Sometimes for some reasons they lost the casting for some parts of their model kits and they "fixed" the model kit by replacing the parts with what they thought was similar. If I remember correctly, their '67 GTO was unbuildable 'cuz it had the undercarriage of a '71 GTO Judge (or the opposite). If ERTL could make quick bucks, by being cheap, well, you can be sure they'd do it.

I started a few years ago to make a collection of just tv movie vehicles. Now I'm up to a little over 100. I'm wonderingif maybe I should sit down and maybe make a video or something to show people. I just don't know if people would bee interrested enough any ideas?

Some pretty cool stuff, mate. I’m the same as you, though. I hate how the toy companies try to slip things by you. Wrong model cars is a big no-no.

You have to remember these came out 35 to 40 years ago so the details won't be near as good as the die casts that are coming out today...

I found that Ferrari as well. I removed the sticker to at least make it proper car.

The flashers are dressed up as priests

Yea and Rosco and Eanis didnt drive a freaking Bonneville!!!---

How are you gonna forget about diane lane??? I would love to get that Brewster Baker car. When I get into customizing cars I'm going to do the camper and trailer

I only take my hat off for one thing and one thing only! That’s what Bandit told Frog, ain’t it?! Anyway, Cool stuff man, really cool!!

Well God damn, George. That vez a lot o' movie cars. BTW... if Ya wanna see what my train wreck of a family looks like? Watch my latest video ;)

That Porsche is just hideously wrong 🤦‍♀️ if my memory is correct the film one was a slant nose 🤔

I forgot how corny Ertil was...

The red Firebird can also double as the car form from the cartoon Turbo Teen! LOL

The sniffin is gross man

Some of the early ERTL Smokey and the Bandit Trans Ams had the 1975/1976 front ends, not the new 1977 ones. They kept them mostly black, no gold trimming probably so adult collectors would not notice. LOL

Ever see that Meego General Lee? Its proportions are more like a Challenger than a Charger, probably changed just enough to avoid paying Chrysler a liscencing fee....

Hot Wheels came out with a bad ass Dodge Power Wagon from Simon and Simon...

The Playset REALLY should have came with the GMC General Semi Truck...Why is there a van in it?

Whoa! A Coyote X diecast car??? BAD ASS! Hunter is that 80s show I don't like at all. Awesome theme, and The Daytona Turbo Z is surprisingly nimble in the chase scenes, then they stopped using it for chases. I just watched the first season chase scenes on KZfaq.

ERTL was really cheaply made compared to MatchBox and Hot Wheels, how the HELL were they getting all the TV and Movie diecast contracts? Then I found a 1989 Batman Batmobile in the lunchroom at highschool, I just started ninth grade that school year 1989-1990. That movie was so big and sold like 900 million dollars in merchandise. Played with that for years. LOL Could not believe it was an ERTL....

Just make the plot better when you re-create the Cannon Ball Run movies. Its like they just bought a bunch of cars and tried to ad-lib a plot.... the only funny jokes were the Trans Am has been done one and Sinatra in a 1984 Dodge Daytona Turbo Z....LOL

LOL, why was it so hard to tool a 1977 Trans Am....cheap bastards!
