While in Singapore, I've been coming across some pretty fantastic finds. Way more Takara Tomy die-cast than I've ever seen before, and at much more reasonable prices (about $5 USD.) Enjoy, with apologies for the iPotato pics:
No idea what brand these are, or if they're any good, but one shop had a set of six Lotus F1 cars for $56 USD.
While I haven't been impressed with the detail and finish on Tomy's production models, the special models are incredibly impressive. Case in point: the Tokai University solar car. Incredible detail, including a sheet of decals with sponsor logos.

Great! You should try out the Let's Play shop sometime as well. The store owner has stock for all current models, as well as special/limited editions (usually Japan-only) and out-of-production models. A heaven for Tomica enthusiasts!

$5 USD for the standard run? That sounds a little much, remembering the price tags I recall from Hong Kong at least.
