Live And Let Diecast: The Podcast

Lloyd, Ryan and Scott get together to discuss Ryan's recent selling adventures. But Ryan had audio issues (we apoligize) so we yammered on about something else instead.

We are very upfront with how we ramble on about model cars. We prove the point this episode by not even getting around to what was supposed to be the subject of this episode. We have a very full house with Dan, Lloyd, Scott, Camilo, our other new co-host Dak, and we even manage to pull Ryan out of retirement to not talk about what he was on to talk about.

Surprise! We're still at it. Dan, Scott, Lloyd and new co-host Camilo get together to discuss the usual new models, how COVID has impacted our purchasing, and answer a few questions.

We've reached into the depths of our vault of unpublished podcasts and found this one. Just this one. Dan visited Radwood in LA last year and did some interviews with various persons of interest.

It's just Lloyd and on this episode. Dan has a 1/43 Spark 1973 Porsche 911 2.7 Targa that he got from Patrick at Model Citizen while he was out on the West Coast. Lloyd has a 1/18 KK-Scale Mercedes-Benz W123 Estate. We praise Model Citizen for a bit, and Dan talks about his trip to Cali.

On this episode, Dan, Lloyd, Philip, and Scott discuss the possible pending death of the Kinja user blogs, the original home of the LaLD community, and the transition to Drivetribe. The featured cars this week are Philip's 1/43 Spark Porsche 718 F1 car, Scott's Spark 1/18 Dauer 962, and Dan's Minichamps 1/43 Porsche Taycan.

On this episode, Philip drops in to join Lloyd, Ryan and Scott, and Dan phones in while street racing in "Mexico." Philip brings a pair of Kyosho Beads Porsche 911 GT1s, Ryan has a Norev Renault Megane GTi Tuner,, Dan has a Tomica Lexus RCF, Lloyd has a Costco special Maisto/Bburago Lambo Huracan Performante, and Scott has the Autoart Aston Martin Vulcan..

It's just Ryan and Lloyd again for this episode, and so it's all 1/18 all the time. Lloyd has a Norev Mercedes (of course he does), and Ryan has an Ottomobile Volkswagen Golf GTI W-12 650. Both of those were grails of sorts, and we get into a discussion of what we consider to be grails and what do we do when those grails have been obtained.

On this episode, we gripe about ebay sellers, ebay shipping, and GM interiors. Dan is here, so he gripes about Tesla. He also has a 1/43 Autoart Porsche 928, Ryan has a toy Volvo wagon and 21st Century Toys WWII German Halftrack, Scott has an Autoart Lotus Esprit, and Lloyd has a Welly Lamborghini Aventador. Lloyd also had a brain injury because he also bought a Matchbox Chevy Colorado.

We're back from our unintended break. It turns out that the podcast doesn't upload itself. Funny how that works. Anyway, we give Scott advice on how to get an Audi RS6 and discuss our failed attempts at customizing. In addition to our normal brainless chatter, Ryan talks about his GT Spirit ABT Audi RS4, Scott has a Greenlight Bigfoot #5, and Lloyd has the AUTOart Bugatti Chiron.

In this episode we discuss diecast vaporware, give great releationship advice, and as usual talk about our recent purchases. Ryan has another VW, Lloyd has another Mercedes, and the ever traitorous Scott has a 1/64 Nissan. It was a gift, though so he gets a pass.

Dan takes a break from fending off alien seekers at Area 51 to join us on the podcast. He's so excited about it that he forgets every thing he knows about the NASCAR model he talks about. Ryan has a Subie longroof and Lloyd has a Land Rover. Or a Range Rover. Or maybe both. We answer some listener questions and bring you the mindless drivel that you have to be expecting by now. 

Lloyd, Scott and Ryan are given a legal disclaimer before discussing how to sell and why to sell their models. Plot twist: the hosts are usually too lazy to sell anything.

Phil from Tyo Toys, creator of the Hot Wheels Drift Pad joins the boys to discuss the drift pad, LaLDs specially branded customs and other random scale model topics. 

On this episode, Scott shows Ryan and Lloyd how to social media. Lloyd has a VW Arteon, Ryan has finally given in to the power of the P, and Scott has the Holden Hurricane concept. And we ramble. A lot. But surely you expect that by now?

In this episode, Scott, Ryan and Lloyd find that they much prefer to ramble on about whatever rather than ramble about one thing in particular.

Dan, Lloyd, Scott and Ryan all sit down to discuss the Supreme phenomenon following a branded Hot Wheel truck that sold out 7 seconds after being listed on the brands website. These HW trucks are now trading hands for $150+ on eBay.

On this episode, Ryan and Lloyd discuss aftermarket scale wheels and the lack of them in the market.

In this episode, Dan returns to join Scott, Ryan and Lloyd in welcoming our guest Gram (aka Hot Rod Crazy) to the show. Gram disscusses his love of hot rods, Camaro's and dioramas, Dan buys a Disney bus, Ryan has the Welly Mk.1 VW Golf, and Lloyd has another plastic fantastic AUTOart in the form of the Lamborghini Aventador S.

In this episode, Lloyd, Ryan and Scott are joined by Patrick Strong of Model Citizen Diecast. Lloyd discusses yet another 1/18 Norev Mercedes, Ryan has some big, but tiny 1/64 American Longroofs, Scott has a Jadi TVR and some Greenlight classic Monster Trucks, and Patrick tells us about some new products at Model Citizen. For the roundtable we talk about what we would make if we had our own model car company.
