So you have the dirt on the passenger rear wheel, and the driver front wheel (if that makes sense). Ohh well, still a very cool set and one I'd like to get!

The seller offered a $15 refund or return the item to be replaced with a different one. I ended up accepting the $15 since it was an international purchase and it was more expensive to ship the item back than to receive the $15 after paying $125 for the entire shipping process and taxes to my country.

Well I got my first MiniGT and it had one QC issue - the back wheel wouldn't roll. Seeing as screws were used to hold the model together, I took it apart to look for the problem. It was the wheel arch, it hadn't molded right and there was a line of crap metal along the edge stopping the wheel from rolling. Fortunately I build model kits as another hobby and I have a set of diamond files. After some filing, I managed to remove the crap and the wheel was able to roll.

It may be possible to fix some of these issues. The scuffing on the rear window could be fixed by using some Tamiya polishing compound. For the decals that didn't lay down flat - maybe a liberal application of decal softening liquid might help. That said, we shouldn't have to be doing such things. Yes, I've experienced some QC issues with Mini GT myself. Headlights not being fully flush on the McLaren F1s is one that I got repeatedly. You are absolutely right to comment on Mini GT QC. We certainly don't want them to go down the M2 Machines route. While Mini GT is currently no where near that disaster, it doesn't take much to erode customer confidence in a brand.

This is similar to my TLV collection having an insane paintrash percentage. I'm glad to see another channel complain like I do calling out all the BS garbage we see in 1/64. Keep it up since I've already started phasing out 1/64 from my collecting.
Appreciate your comment man, you were actually the one who inspired me to create my channel a little over a year ago 🍻
@@Booster_Diecast Cool; I'll try to boost your channel this weekend.
Considering I can’t think of anything funny to say (you were too professional with it 😂), I will agree with you on the fact that they just need to slow down. As cool as it is seeing the shiny new preorder having 6 per seems to be too much for them. That or they need to lower the frequency of the drops. I get they want to strike while the iron’s hot but lowering the quality will cool off the momentum way faster than other consumer circumstances
And the only thing Glen cars about right now are the mid 007 James bond cars, and events.
@@Booster_Diecast facts I do think Jaguar cx75 looked cool from the movie car individuals but the set of 4 looked kinda dumb and identical (not like I can buy the sets anyway 💀) Not even gonna start on the events and the exclusive stuff thats a rant in and of itself
Dang bro the comments are buzzing on this one. Feels like a bunch of eulogies 😂😭. Mine as well jump in. My very first one was the yellow c8 z06 that came with a damaged blister, mirror that was almost falling off, and paint bubbles on the side. Idk if that happened in transit but not a great first look (I lost it tho so idrc at this point). 20 models later I think I’ve been almost perfect, so if anyone reading this is on the fence I’d still say go for it, they’re great models.
Appreciate your take man. Give it some time, I'm sure you'll get another bad one 😂
Generally my Mini GTs have been okay apart from one or two problems. I think they are trying to do too much for the price point. Would we as collectors mind paying a little more to get decent quality control ?
I would certainly pay a little e tra per model to have the piece of mind, and I think many others would as well
Thanks for making this video- I completely agree man this is very important
Appreciate you
Well I got my first MiniGT and it had one QC issue - the back wheel wouldn't roll. Seeing as screws were used to hold the model together, I took it apart to look for the problem. It was the wheel arch, it hadn't molded right and there was a line of crap metal along the edge stopping the wheel from rolling. Fortunately I build model kits as another hobby and I have a set of diamond files. After some filing, I managed to remove the crap and the wheel was able to roll.
Glad you were able to get that model fixed! It's really a bummer that your first Mini GT left a bad taste in your mouth
I have a Mini GT Lamborghini Aventador GT EVO LB works and there's paint issue and some scrap lodged under front wind shield.
Very unfortunate, sorry to hear that
Yeah, you pay good money for these things you want them to be as close to perfect as possible!
Exactly!
💯💯💯
It may be possible to fix some of these issues. The scuffing on the rear window could be fixed by using some Tamiya polishing compound. For the decals that didn't lay down flat - maybe a liberal application of decal softening liquid might help. That said, we shouldn't have to be doing such things. Yes, I've experienced some QC issues with Mini GT myself. Headlights not being fully flush on the McLaren F1s is one that I got repeatedly. You are absolutely right to comment on Mini GT QC. We certainly don't want them to go down the M2 Machines route. While Mini GT is currently no where near that disaster, it doesn't take much to erode customer confidence in a brand.
You wouldn't by chance collect diecast planes? Reason I ask is I saw another Vifam posting on an airplane forum.
Yeah that's my whole point is we shouldn't have to worry about fixing problems on a model we just opened, even though it's totally possible. I'm also a purist and I don't like to alter my models at all lol
@@minthouse6338 Yes, I also collect diecast aircraft. You must've saw my posts at ModelHangar3?
I had a Black R34 GTR of which the side mirror broke off and also my Kaido House R34 ones mirror is also not in that much of a good shape but it's still sturdy I'll say. Worst of the Black R34 one I didn't even notice it had broke off and couldn't find the side mirror again leaving it in a odd looking way. Also there are some panel gaps in the r34 Idk why. Though I saw a better quality in my Top Secret GTR and the Valkyrie
Sorry you had issues with the mirrors. I don't get broken mirrors often but it has definitely happened in the past. And the panel gaps are notorious on the R34 castings
So poprace cars are made by them too? I had 2 r34 stagea with paint chip off and black marks like some thinner bleach into the paint. Bummer!
Nope! Pop Race is a totally different company. I only have 1 model by them so far but will be getting more soon. We'll have to cover their issues as well
I'm a MiniGT collector among many many other brands, and after seeing this video I'm pretty scared! I have a bunch and they've all been such great looking models... my FIRST MINIGT; which is the white M3 E30, had a messed up taillight and I broke it in half trying to fix it, also some of mine have off-centre badges which for me is somewhat ignorable but disappointing nonetheless... also my Kona N has a SLIGHTLY messed up wing but other than that it's perfect and I was SHOOK when I saw how yours came out I'm so sorry TwT otherwise I've gotten pretty lucky with MiniGT it looks like As for M2 Machines I have like 2 of them and I'm not really super into them, and I'll be honest I'm a Greenlight glazer, but I will say they both have bad quality control, Greenlight is notorious for it and I agree, I've seen some pretty horrible stuff from M2 at walmart myself and have taken a couple pics of M2 and GL alike, I'd love to show you them if you wanna see, missing wheels, misaligned doors, and bodies completely off their base, just terrible >.< thankfully GL seems to be improving as their new leader promised better QC anyways thank you for making this video, I know you said that some MiniGT collectors would get fired up and I'm a MiniGT collector myself and I thoroughly enjoyed your video, thank you SOOO MUCH for bringing these issues to light, the funny thing is, those collectors are the ones who should BENEFIT from this video as you're telling MiniGT to make better models lol... here I go again yap mode XD anyways 2; new subscribaaaa
Hey I appreciate you tuning in! I've never really liked GL either due to bad quality but one of their big advantages is they have a HUGE variety of models. Feel free to message me on IG if you wanna chat. I have my handle on my YT page
Sometimes the design isn't great, I notice gaps between the plastic windows and diecast door area which shouldn't be there in a premium model
I haven't experienced that on Mini GT (yet), but certainly on Para 64 models.
I've had some issues with that as well, most noticeably the R34 castings
I have all kinds of brands and none of them are 100% perfect, there're always something wrong when you start to inspect them closely including the interiors. Mini GT with its ever widening range of cars i think still doing pretty good. But they definitely can improve the QC inspections. The BBR Ferrari was rushed to release on an event could have waited for a later batch release
Yeah there will always be issues no doubt, but I think they could definitely work on bettering their brand instead of dumping money into all these events and whatnot
I bought a M3 GT3, is my first Mini GT. When I was opening the box, the DRL falled out of the car imediatelly, before even I take the car out of the plastic cover.... This thing made me extremelly upset.
Always hv to consider the people who handle your parcel or shipping. There're always risk with any brand that are more fragile and detailed than Hot Wheels.
Man that's really unfortunate, I'm sorry to hear that
I've had 3 models out of around 300 that have had issues, worst one is the black liberty walk lamborghini aventador. But that one is known to have issues. Worst after that was the yellow bird with wobbly wheels and an R34 with a missing taillight.
Very unfortunate. 3/300 is not bad at all though!
First time viewer. I haven't had any issues with MiniGT myself, but 2 other YTrs I follow have had QC issues. One had same yellow Porsche with completely detached rear wing and front of car looked lifted, while the rear looked lowered. The other is experiencing paint scuffs on the roofs of cars. I think the problem is that they're getting too popular and are having issues with keeping up with demand. I'm rooting for them, I don't want them to fail. TY for sharing
Appreciate you tuning in! Really glad youve escaped issues with your models. In my opinion, the extra money they make from selling more and more models should go back into the company to better the product
H*LL YEAH THE RANT IS HERE STICK IT TO 'EM
Hope they see it and/or listen!
Tarmac Works also have a lot of similar issues. Yeah they use a lot more small parts but for the money you spend, it is really frustrating. I really can't count how many times I bent those little antennas and even pushed one in through the roof. I even had to glue the headlight cover back on my Members Only Advan F40. Add to that the little paint, decal, and wheel issues on them too. But of course when they can do everything right, I just love Tarmac Works. But honestly, I hadn't had too many stuff go wrong with Mini GT, knock on wood. Pretty much everything I got from them came in great shape. And I don't even have a whole lot of Mini GT, so that would kinda explain my luck, but I definitely feel you on the quality control thing. They're trying to keep up with demand, but still they could really step things up, especially for the money you're spending on them. Thanks for speaking out.
Yeah tarmac works is a whole different beast when it comes to QC lol. I only buy their hobby64 stuff because their global64 line is horrible when it comes to price/quality. But I've also had some bad QC with them and now they're trying to push their cards on us🙄 I could make a whole video about Tarmac as well
@@Booster_Diecast Yeah I don't blame ya for only sticking with Hobby64. At least that line do have Ferraris.🐎 I tried not to knock those little trading cards either at first but they do sound kinda corny lmao.
Tarmac is very shady, had one model by them and wasn't impressed by it. Their J collection is horrible and just reusing old models from DeAgostini. And now pushing those cards lol. Wheels on their Hobby64 dont roll as well like lmao
@qwerty975 yeah I pretty much only collect the ferraris when it comes to tarmac works. I have a couple porsche GT3s as well but they have so many issues
