It's always a good day when the chronicles, 1320video and larry chen uploads new videos😎🥳😎😎

Who doesn’t love a snowballing obsession and central circuit filled with vtec. What a treat.

If I could start my life over, I would follow my childhood dream of being a mechanic amd doing what you do. Everything in this video is amazing, but the little City racer was the crown jewel. I started collecting cameras while designing a 35mm analogue camera at deisgn school and the obcession took over so I went from owning 3 to owning 98. Mainly Olympus. I love your work and content. The closest I get to your world is Gran Turismo 7 and making liveries. Greetings from Copenhagen.

The thrill of hunting collectibles down 😁

My man jumped into the diecast world head first! Love it!!

Great video, I always love when you visit Central Circuit. The little otaku explanation at the end had me smiling.

Love the stories man and the stuff you find. Searching is part the fun! 🤓I plan on hopping from shop to shop too later this year when I return to Japan.

If I was Japanese, I don't think there is a chance in hell I'd live in America.

your videos are really dope bro super chill and great transitions

i love when things are filmed with a normal camera revealing that their not all its cracked up to be.

Dayum super nice line up let's Gooo!!💯🤙

Happy birthday Yasu 🎉👏👏👏

Man i just play this videos while im working on my car or cleaning around, definitely a dream to be able to witness whats happening in japan !!

Love your content Joey keep it up. ❤

@11:40 @13:26 Those Ikeya Formula upper control arms are popular among S2000 track enthusiasts Japan. Top notch suspension pieces, indeed!

this was the first year away from Japan after 10 years But I still want to come back when see your videos

That end bit about the collecting getting out of hand is too relatable! I knew I was becoming too interested in starting to collect diecast, and I knew I wouldn't be able to stop myself with just a few. So I decided to go with 1/64 scale. I figured at that size, they'll take up less space, and they'll be far cheaper. And now I'm down the rabbit hole of trying to collect every unique variation of Honda that Hot Wheels has ever made. Integras in each of the different colors out there, EF Civics in all the colors, Preludes, etc... mainlines, premiums, store- and multipack-exclusives, Treasure Hunts... And then of course there are other brands that make Hondas on the same scale, and I'm wanting _some_ of those, too, but Hot Wheels is the only brand under which I'm going after _every_ Honda.

The 1/64 stuff is just a bit too small for me haha but I get it, some of the Ignition model stuff is very detailed.

Love it, been collecting jctc and super gr for many yrs and the details are next level.great conversation pcs. Ebbro is just the beginning hahaha

@THECHRONICLES

5 ай бұрын

Haha it's okay I'm just gonna stick with the Ebbro stuff now

i 1000% relate with the diecast model car stuff man! Always been a fan of 1:43s in particular, whether it'd be Ebbro, HPI, Kyosho, Hi-Story, Ignition Model, and the like. One time i tried to find a Hi-Story Starlet GT model since I really liked that car and literally scoured every Surugaya, BIC, or any other Hobby Shop in Tokyo and Osaka and couldn't find it at all. Sometime down the line a friend did find it in a second hand model store in Fuji Speedway, so it all ended up working out haha. The lengths we go to for these things....

great collection there, it's not always about the items collected but the journey to get them

My challenge lies in collecting only 1:18 and 1:12 scale models, which makes it even more difficult to find sufficient space for displaying and storing all the boxes. I suppose this is just part of the collector's life.

That city is super cool!

Don‘t worry. I think most of us have an obsession with collecting model cars lmao

You went on a deep dive with the model cars!! I would've done the same if I were out there too.

Awesome cars!!❤❤❤❤

It's 2024 and Joey actually admitted he's an Accord guy collecting 5th Gen Racecar model's?! Never thought I'd see the day! It's funny you went through the hunt for those. I actually figured it'd be pretty cumbersome these days. I bought Inno 1:64 versions of the Test Car and JACCS before everything started shooting up in price. Something to keep me motivated to finish my real car since I've acquired all the parts for "the look" and to continue saving to build it to dream spec 😅

Loved the video, hope to visit the japan car scene one day!

Man, I feel you on the diecast collection. I wouldn’t be able to stop either.

That s2k with a full toda catalog 😮‍💨

Life so hard, when you start collectiong Ebbro's... LOL!

Thank you joey for another banger! 🙏 hey atleast collecting die-cast cars aint as bad. 😂 There are other far worst problems out there.

Awesome cars. The blue city never see that. ✌🏻🇳🇱

Oh yes, it is a good day today 🙏

I'm with myself most of the time also 👌

I started collecting the die cast also, now I just can't stop buying and looking also!

Thank man

need that blue honda city modded into every game but especially Cyberpunk2077 cuz it would fit in so nice

Gotta catch em all Joey

I know it's the Japan way, but man those bolt together cages terrify me. Cool diecast pickups too, Ebbro has made a few plastic kits too, hoping to get my hands on some eventually.

oh god.. that model car thing is exactly my problem as well.. i have to limit myself to 2 a month or else i can not afford the real car stuff anymore 😅😂

👑🏁

I collect 1:43 Porsches and it's a slippery slope. Before that I was buying hot wheels and other 1:64 scale diecast and the level of detail makes me want to throw away every 1:64 scale thing I own.

16:26 its cool its a midnightclub car i hope it is, because even in america alot of people run knock off stickers, you can make your own very easily as you can find the font they used online. the center taillight is a gembella/ porsche reference.

I know that world all too well.. Once you start buying models and you start appreciating them it's very, very difficult to stop. I am going to Osaka in May with my family. I've never been Japan before. How do I find information about any car stuff happening in Osaka?

Hahaha great video as always!! I’m headed to Japan in June and I also have a collection issue. Which stores did you go to find these models??

Those accords or the ferio civic sedans, those are teh sex. That skyline is tits dude, no livery, sic af. My thing is hotwheels, all the jdm imports, Hondas in general, or anything that strikes my fancy. I have 350 plus, this round.

Im a big siecast collectoe myself. I mainly stick to 1:64 these days due to space and packaging. Inno64 and mini gt make some great honda models including a few NGR civics. Im actually currently selling a bunch of that ebbro superGT 1:43 stuff

Soichiro would be proud 🥲

Im in Osaka now and in Japan for another 12 days, please let me know where I can go catch some races or car shows nearby. Id really appreciate it bro!

Love collection Also you need to get the accord mugen jtcc test car. My buddy in Thailand has built the rep car that pretty close to 1:1. Also did some track days in it. Let me know you want to do a story on it.
