I like all three, but seriously, I can't get this song out of my head.
Thanks a lot.

While I'm absolutely glad that you watched Nausicaa because it's by far the best Ghibli film out there, I have to ask: why are you thanking me?

"Clicks link, hears song and enjoys listening to it"

Yeah, thanks Cano, you smart alec. You sure know how to convince people to watch good stuff. (Still need to uphold my promise to you and watch Summer Wars, silly me) Well, there is a reason why my current avatar is Minnie May Hopkins, after all.

As for cars, dang Tomica is bringing all the Toyota weapons to a knife fight. Supras, a racing 800 and those amazing wagons? They aren't joking around! :crazy:
 
They do seem Toyota-heavy as @Niku Driver HC suggested, but I can't argue with the selections either. I like the Toyotas they've picked out.

It's called sarcasm. I got this terrible headache & Nausicca song stuck in my head. Don't get me wrong, I usually like the song. It's just making me want to vomit right now. :crazy:
You aren't wrong there, the idea of TLV Nissan Silvias is quite tempting... Imagine a S13, or a S14 Silvia in TLV guise, not that's mouthwatering. :drool:
I was thinking Silvia too, but S110 & S12. :D

Since Tomica can't seem to put anything popular in their TLV line like the Silvia, we need another diecast manufacture to step up and do it with identical quality. If only their was one.

Must be Toyota month in Tomica Land, not that Nissan has a bad lineup in TLV galore. Between the Nismo GT-R, Seibu Keisatsu cars and oddballs such as a Leopard, TLV has a wide variety of Nissans in their lineup. Maybe a few more wouldn't hurt, but that's up for Tomica to decide. As for the current batch of Toyotas, you know which one I'd like to have...

Also, jesus, never thought that the Nausicca song would get to you like that, must be one heck of a headache... :sick:

You never know, no one expected Tomica to bust out a R35 model either and look what happened... The world of scale models is an unpredictable one, the cars you don't expect to be done by certain companies may just be the ones to appear first.

Yes, but whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

If you think the adorable lady in my avatar is Nausicaa, you suck almost as much as @AOS-

That's not exactly fair. TLV isn't targeting the "JDM" crowd, or are even selling their product in the U.S.

They got where they are, not by making the cars Jason wants, but what me, John & Jarrod wants. :p

You know what they say about looking all alike. :p All Miyazaki anime, while they are the most beautiful IMO, they all look similar. Edit: Is it that Crimoson Pig one?

Don't forget me.

chyeaaah you suck almost as much as him. It's indeed Fio from, dude, come on, Porco Rosso. Repeat after me, Porco Rosso. Crimson Pig. Dear God.
 
Don't forget me.
You & Niku are still rookie fans. We belong in the fan club. :p

Try again, Crimson Pig is the original title. Rookie! :D I checked on Wikipedia just now lol

Of course not, Jose. (Hey, we must keep the name chain consistent, sorry to use the sterotypical Mexican name)

See, this is why I don't try to guess series names if I don't know them. Makes me look smarter than the average guesser, therefore I do not suck. :p

I'm holding my forehead as I read your post. :( :D :(

Christ, good luck nursing that man, you'll need it.

Precisely, don't forget that such a thing is what makes TLV cars so desirable to car nuts such as ourselves. They touch the stones that no one else cares to touch.

You & Niku are still rookie fans. We belong in the fan club. :p

But, but... I have Siku cars and everything! :(

I am at least a intermediate level fan, because I have more than one brand of cars. Also, as Cano put it, I ain't made of money myself so I have to make due with some purchases here and there. :D :lol:
 
Will you big TLV owners one day gather all your cars together and take one group photo so we can be blown away by the sheer quantity you guys have been secretly racking up?

Come on, Porco Rosso. Repeat after me, Porco Rosso. Crimson Pig. Dear God.

You suck.
 
Long time no see guys! I have returned with a trio meant for the history books, sorta. More shots on my Flickr.

Imagine where they'd be if they made the cars that the JDM crowd would go nuts over. You see how much those damn Civics go for. Imagine Silvia's, RX-7's, RX-3's, EF Civics, Del Sol's, AE86's, etc, etc.

Don't be a party pooper, you know you'd buy them.

I'd buy them of course, but I am so happy TLV does it the way it does. I am in love with the GT-R's, but seeing them makes me a little nervous that TLV would move away from the good stuff. But then they show these Crowns and my fears are put to bed. You you better believe I will get all three of those Crown wagons. I am so stoked for those. That specific model has been so high on my "hope TLV does it" list ever since Eric at JDM Legends had one. It was my favorite car in the shop at the time, and he enjoyed cruising in it too. He will be stoked to see this one being done.

That Skyline police is a looker too. Hell, they are all great. Better make room for all of them. TLV excites my like no other diecast company, and it is not even close.
 
I was browsing AmiAmi today, and saw that they put up the August TLV preorders. I preordered this, this & this. I had no idea who Ukiya Toujiro was, but I now sort of do(thanks to Wiki). And @MedigoFlame may want to check out the third car I preordered. It's not quite in the style that he had hoped for, but I think he'll agree that it looks pretty damn sweet. They come in three versions(white, also light blue in stock or same color, but Cop TV show vers.). I didn't even know that I wanted one, but now I can't wait for the damn thing to arrive!

I already have the older Tomica Limited Kujira sedan model. But still not on the scale of TLV quality. But...OH MY GOD I NEED THAT WAGON!!!!! :crazy: I'm pre-ordering all of them!!!

That's like saying what if TLV wasn't TLV? What you are describing is a movie we've all seen before. *yawn*

Granted, I'm sure most anyone not into TLV cars would still like to see what TLV could do with their favorite cars. Even the biggest TLV fans in this community have such wish list, and I think we'd all like to see them mix it up from time to time(like with the GT-R). I suppose I'm guilty of this as well. I've wished Greenlight & M2 Machines did a few Japanese cars myself. :p

No no no, you are the party pooper. Yes, I'd buy them, but I also buy everything & you know that. :D
I'm pre-ordering all of them!!!
I feel you. After I get to see their near-production casting, I may end up with all three as well. We'll see. Come on August.... :drool:

I'm just saying there's nobody else out there that does quality like they do, and it would be nice to have some popular JDM cars available in said quality. And you know what? They would sell, and they would sell REALLY well. Again, high prices of the TLV Civic's is excellent proof of that.

That's just my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions.
 
Interesting.[/sarcasm]

I just had two packages go thru Los Angeles. You guys may not know this, but I complain about the Customs there. A lot.

First package, after it was processed from Customs(not after it arrived, after processed), it took five days to get to the post office in the same town. The second package, four days. Five & four days, to move package from one building to another in the same frigging city. :(

I don't know if I told you guys this, but I loathe the Customs & post office in L.A. I'm gonna stop here, because I'm about to deviate from political correctness.

No, I totally get you. I was just replying to your statement about "imagine where they'd be?", because TLV didn't get where they are by following the money. Also, it's not like I haven't made similar points or comments, like a hundred times before. :p

Do my massive 19 TLV's count as sheer quantity? :dopey: And group photo you say? Don't mind if I do.
TLV Collection by VC SL/E, on Flickr

I'd now like to see if @a6m5 can get his TLV collection to fit inside of his diorama. :p
 
That is so cold. You know my diorama isn't very *ahem* big. :lol:

Sorry could not resist. :lol:
I'm especially jealous of the Civilian bus. Sweet. :drool:

It's sweet indeed, very sweet. Know you like your buses. If you can get a Civilian for a decent price, do it, you won't regret it. 👍
