Hi, I'm Aaron, creator of the diecast crash competition Junkyard Joust on YouTube. I picked up the ridiculously expensive Hot Wheels RLC 80th anniversary set. It is a thing of beauty. But I really think someone needs to take these cars out of the box and crash them, the way cars are meant to be used...

With your help, I can make this happen. Your donations can fund this spectacle. I could have sold the cars on eBay without ever looking at them and made money. But I think it's way more fun if I crash them. Picture this: shiny red, extremely impressive vehicles crashing in slow motion in the Junkyard. Speeding along the track and bashing each other! Bits of paint flying everywhere! Each $100 level I reach means more cars get unboxed and crashed. If I make it to the goal, I will Joust all the cars!

Thank you for your consideration! If you are curious about Junkyard Joust, here is a link to the channel: https://www.youtube.com/@JunkyardJoust

If you are curious how this idea came about here is the story! On the Junkyard Joust discord fans of the show and I hatched a plan that if I could manage to snag one of the collector sets when they went live on the RLC site I would then start a gofundme to raise the funds to make a video crashing them (the only set out of 4000 made that will ever see any action!) Enough people said they wanted this to happen that I figured it would work out, and if not there was always eBay. So far so good though!

Thanks to everyone who has supported this experiment! Anything donated beyond the $600 price tag of the set I will put back into adding more collector cars into Junkyard Joust.
