Tomica 40th Editions

As part of the Bali haul that I bought back, it was a good opportunity to get those models that you would not normally see within the Tomica shelves of - say TRU – within SE Asia.

These models are classic Japanese cars from the 1960s to the 1980s. I am not a scholar of Tomica by a long shot, but I am sure that these were former castings of yesteryear and re-created for today.

Each model comes with a fancy box and a display plinth which is most probably why they command the extra premium over the standard models. I have to say that there is nowt major or stunning about them – they are just standard cars in posh wrapping – no extra detailing involved, but I suspect that is reserved for the TLV range more than anything else.

The cars below are a Toyota Crown police, Toyota 2000GT, Nissan Bluebird SSS, and Toyota Corona. These models complement the current 1/64 range by Tomica as well.

Always good to have within a collection and I happy in the knowledge that my Tomica collection is slowly but surely expanding with these periodic additions. More so, that I now have a good collection of 1/64 Japanese cars when the likes of Matchbox or Hot Wheels would never consider producing such.
