The first time I’ve seen these in the states in ages. They’re OK; I find the detail somewhat lacking as compared to the latest Matchbox and even Hot Wheels releases. It seems the only way to get some generic JDM vehicles without having to import them yourself.

And at this point, if anyone made a Mazda5/Premacy (preferably second generation) with any level of detail and at a reasonable price I’d be all over it...

I picked up the new Jimny, but otherwise they are too expensive for the amount of detail.

But unlike most MBX and HW, the Tomicas have working suspension.

I paid the $5 for the Mitsubishi & Isuzu trucks. The Isuzu has a freaking french fry trailer...how could you not love it?

Some of my favorite Tomica vehicles from the ‘70s were the American Airlines baggage containers and other airport vehicles. When I was a ramp agent 15 years ago I was no longer such a fan of such vehicles...

And they create some of the only 1:6x examples of supercars and hypercars around. No, really, they have the Aventador SVJ and Speedtail and they’re really good reps.

yes! I love boring cars as diecast. I have my fair share of exciting and wildly coloured cars from hot wheels et al, but some dull cars are cool too
