I'm about 10 days into my trip to the Philippines and I stumble upon this, since Tomica is not available in Canada I instantly grab a cart and start going crazy then I decided it might be a good idea to check the price before going to the register and long behold 169 pesos each! WTF $4.25 a piece??? I had to put them all back I could not bring myself to pay that much for these (for comparison hotwheelz are about $2.50 here). some things are way cheaper in the Philippines but Diecast cars is not one of those things.

Dude I bought a SHITLOAD when I was there. You in the Megamall or what? I say its more durable than Hotwheels... if not the same lol. I love Tomica. Tomica>>>Hotwheels brahh. Plus its Takara Tomy so I'm a little bias.

Hey man, you find an Audi 80 quattro, a fastback 1st-Gen Celica, a red GTV6, an Audi RS2 Avant, or a Saab 9-2X Aero and I will pay for those shits.

that's normal for the standard tomica.
The Tomica Limited Vintage retails 20 bucks each. For 1/64.
And even more expensive is limited editions like this skyline.

Diecast cars are anything but cheap in South East Asia.
I'm suspecting I missed a spot by not writing "spend all the money my peers would have spent at Sarbucks in die cast cars" on that list of New Year's resolutions.

this was in Toys R us in Ayala Mall in Cebu City. you guys convinced me I did not know this was the going rate for these I guess I will just have to suck it up and buy a bunch. I'm gonna bring 4000 pesos with me($100 CAD) and buy as many as I can. If I bring more money I will spend more money Guarantied!. stay tunes in the next few days and I will upload what I bought.

Tomicas are partially more expensive because their castings are a little finer and their packaging is reusable after you oen them, which is more attractive to collectors.
