Honestly, I hate this list. Should've been called: "Top 9 JDM model cars that I sell in my store.....and an F40." This list doesn't even scratch the surface of all the wonderful models that came out in 2023. There are a few models on here that don't even belong in the discussion. But, his list and his video. I still enjoyed seeing these models. Almost Real Pagani Zonda alone smokes every model in here (I have 5 on this list, 2 are the Mines R34 and RX-Vision). Removable wheels, full open, full detail, perfect shut lines, paint application, carbon work, cockpit quality, and materials. Full mesh. Either way, thanks for the effort and your continued mission of showing this wonderful hobby to the people. Merry Christmas, all.

90% of my specialty is in JDM cars. In addition, I did mention this is my personal favorites list. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄

@fiveseven695 6 ай бұрын

That's fair. You said "My top 10." The article was understandably your personal preference. But most people read "my top 10" as the 10 best, not 10 favorites.... if that makes sense. All good. I like your content and I do business with you regularly. I'm also the guy who backs you up on r/diecast when people come at you for all your hard work and efforts. The only thing I've bought from you that was an huge disappointment was the Works Project Ferrari f50 in black. Promotion photos are so misleading especially the interior shots. Thing goes for almost $500 everywhere but is GT Spirit quality. I'm definitely gonna sell it.

Got the Spoon version of the NSX-R GT in the collection, but missed out on the regular version. However I can call the Top Secret Supra mine and the RX-Vision should arrive in a couple weeks.

@bryanareynolds 6 ай бұрын

so I knew the slightly pearl white paint on my car wasn't going to match the white advan wheels I ordered exactly, and it's good to see that one model got themselves into the same situation with that NSX-R GT

@tsogt-ochirbatchuluun8249 5 ай бұрын

IMO Almost Real's RUF model is one of the best in 2023. So neat and interior is the perfect to match. Recently, got handed Ztune from Autoart and is a definitely must have in 2024. Since the first release of composite i never admired each one of them. But this Ztune is sooooo good.

Hi James! I bought the feed and feed gt3 ignition models from you over the last few years. The attention to detail is incredible. It’s helped me figure out what im still missing for my real car 🥲

1/18 without opening features and engine is a disappointment to me.

@fiveseven695 6 ай бұрын

I hear you but trust me, there's something special about the in person look of a high end, beautifully executed resin model. Plus, resin will no doubt outlive diecast.

@modelcarshouston 6 ай бұрын

I am the opposite lol

@homie-gtv322 6 ай бұрын

You must have never owned any. I have some high-end resin models with no opening parts and they look far superior than anything else. Don't get me wrong, I like moving parts, whether it's diecast or composite, but I far more like my resin models. That's just you and this is just me. That's the beauty of model car collecting. There's something for everyone.

@parshuram8031 6 ай бұрын

I Agree with you brother. If someone truely is a lover of cars, they would anyday prefer an opening model. You can never get enough of details. Resin collectors are more like toy afficianados😂
