Not sure how much this will end up to be, but really want this... Of course, since I can't buy anything online. It's a no go for me. If someone goes for it here, mind sharing some of the lot with me? Please...? Want it so badly!

Or trade/buy with whoever gets it.

Lol what is this collection worth to you if I get it? I'm pretty generous but the fact that you say u can't buy anything online makes me nervous .. But anyways I have the winning bid right now and don't see myself losing it

Worth quite a lot, mainly due to the fact that I love all of those cars in that lot. There are several multiples though, so sharing should be ok... Why are you nervous that I can't buy anything online?

I'd trade almost anything of my collection to get it. That's how much it's worth... (Not meaning my whole collection, but some...stuff)

The Tomica Limiteds look really nice, but looks like they average around $20-30.

Had to google that to see what it was, but that explains why some of the Tomicas are so expensive. Perhaps not surprising when it includes stuff like 240Zs and AE86s...

Cool little car! 👍 I guess I'm a weirdo though, I like Priuses, too.

Yeah, I'd quite like to grab a Prius too. I write about hybrids and electric cars on a daily basis so I'd quite like to collect a bunch of them. Next on the list might be the Tomica CR-Z. Already have a Hotwheels Tesla Roadster.

Yeah might be the same seller, I bought a Silver Toyota 86 from. ( which I'm still waiting to arrive, by the way ) Once it does though, I plan on picking up one of these.

That looks really cool. It's a pity the casting on Tomicas isn't as good as Matchbox or Hotwheels as the selection of cars is excellent. One of my favorites is the NSX-R. That one is kept safely in its box, in another box Nowhere to display them right now.

Is it an age issue? Just curious? No offense but I always use PayPal since it has a guarantee .. I wouldn't mind trading the whole lot to you honestly, I'll have to see what the final sale price is, but if you can get your hands on a certain hotwheel I would be glad to trade you just the duplicates? I'm in desperate need of 2 Hotwheel Nostalgia series dairy delivery trucks..

More like overcontrolling parents issue... Not too sure about finding a certain hot wheels for you. I only started collecting in February, but there have been some flea market purchases that could be of interest. Could also look for those Dairy Deliverys. (Which ones? Stopping by Walmart tomorrow so I could have a look) I can guarantee on a trade, trust me. Already sent stuff to -AOS- and have set up with others on the forum. Just have to see how much the lot will be.

Counting from the picture...

3 Hakosuka Skylines
2 Orange 240Zs w/black hood
1 White 240Z
2 White Toyota 2000GTs
3 White Mazda RX-3s
1 Alfa Romeo 75
2 Honda S600/S800?
1 Lamborghini Countach
1 Isuzu 117 Coupe? (Hard to tell)
1 Isuzu....coupe? (Beige car, hard to tell)
1 Mazda RX-7

Mainly want one of the Hakosuka, RX-3, 2000GT, 240Z, Alfa Romeo 75, RX-7, and S600/S800. Great, now I can't sleep thinking about these. And yet they said collecting is sort of a healthy hobby, it's 3:20AM here.

I can't really comment on the casting because my Toyota 86 is still hasn't arrived. But I completely agree with you on their selection. 👍

I'm eyeing off, one these as well. I'm probably one of the few who like's the look of the current STi in sedan form.

Really wish they sold the Tomica STI sedan here... I do agree with you on the current STI sedan's looks. It really does grow on you, the hatchback did for me.

Also, really sorry about the long delay! Every time I try and find time to stop by the post office and I just can't make it. I promise I'll get the Falcon sent to you as soon as I can. I'll throw in a second green Mystery Falcon that I bought last week to make up for it.

Edit: Another lot from the same seller. Also want some of it, but of course. Can't. (Legacy is a must have )
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Capsule-Tom...96760?pt=Diecast_Vehicles&hash=item51a04c28f8

Curse the internet! Why can't I just find these in retail, like the old days. (Not Tomicas specifically, but back when so many more interesting things were in retail stores...)

No worries mate, as I said before whenever you can find the time. To be honest, I had completely forgot about it.

Oh and thanks to Matty, you should be getting this soon.

Uh oh... Don't think I've ever seen the Saturday Evening Post diecasts at all. All I've seen here is the Hersey's Nostalgia vehicles at my stores. (I could look at the indoor flea market, but their stuff is always overpriced) Sorry about that, is there any other specific car you're looking for?

No worries mate, as I said before whenever you can find the time. To be honest, I had completely forgot about it.

Oh wow. Seems like you didn't have to pay at all. Thanks very much and I WILL get to it! Been shooting myself in the foot for the past few weeks.



Edit: Don't I get anything for giving you guys these sales? (Toyota 86, Choro Q, and Capsule Tomica lot)

 

[Spacegoat]

Well I was prepared to pay, it just so happened. That somehow, I was good at guessing soccer football results.

And honestly, I couldn't think of anyone more deserving of it. 👍

 

[TheeFrogmanlego]

Just completed my 2011 set <3

 

[homeforsummer]

From the Leaf and NSX I know it's not great, though they have character. Cano may be able to shed some more light on it.

The 86 is the other Tomica one I'm expecting soon. Mine will be red.

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

New addition:

Nice Leaf. I gotta find this car for my hybrid car collection. I only got the Tesla Roadster.

$7.50 + free shipping

Edit: Check THIS out.

I WANT NAO!!! 👍

Finally this thing is getting closer to release....

Oh 🤬! Is that the Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo?! I thought they were gonna bring this one out to the mainline since they made it for the Classic Hanna-Barbera Cartoon car series. I must find this.

Now I want them to create General Lee RT Charger from the Dukes of Hazards and/or the Countash or Tesserossa from Miami Vice !

Vspec: Febreze has its limitations you know.

Well then, I must invest in a gas mask now for error cars.

Scalpers are lickin their chops for scooby doo and crew to hits the shelves. Can't wait to turn their 74 cents into $4. Returns like that and who needs the Ponzi schemes!

EDIT: Just checked and the CC Scoobies are going to fetch $25ish on eBay. Oh the humanity

I know right? These people just don't get it do they.

That Nissan Leaf actually looks pretty cool. Love Tomicas, if only Tomy would sell more :censored:ing diecast cars here! Waiting to find the Mitsubishi Pajero/Suzuki Swift double pack at my Toys R Us. But the stock is barely renewed. Honestly, if I could buy stuff online. I would run out of money so quickly, there's so many interesting Tomicas out there that we don't get here! (Curse you guys for buying that Toyota 86...)

As for the Mystery Machine...boy is that going to be a hard one to find. Hope to find it eventually. Also, does anyone know if the N Mixes are out yet? Really want to see those Vipers appear.

I'm with you, they should sell Tomicas more in the US. I WANT MAH TOMYS AND MAJORETTES!!!!!!

O_o Dat GRB STi sedan! ME WANT!

 

[homeforsummer]

Nice Leaf. I gotta find this car for my hybrid car collection. I only got the Tesla Roadster.

Same, until the Leaf arrived. If you're interested in others, Matchbox does a Honda Insight, Tomica does a CR-Z and Toyota Prius (and the Prius+), and Matchbox does a Fisker Karma. Not sure if there are any Chevy Volts in Hotwheels/Matchbox scale yet, and I can't find any first-generation Insights either. Expect someone will do a Tesla Model S fairly soon though.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention 👍 I'm game.

On what, Tomica castings? You only need to take a peek to the old, Japan-made Tomicas. They were some of the best detailed die-casts on the market, right down to the license plate numbers and all that stuff. When they moved their production to China quality indeed took a drop; today, I wouldn't be caught dead buying a new Tomica, they are awful, their wheels are ugly as sin, the castings are way rough and the paint looks like I shot it.

They indeed have a great model selection (the fact that they do so many local cars really helps towards that, like where the heck one's gonna find a Leaf? Of course, assuming one wants one, you guys are crazy lol), but their castings are SO wrong. Proof? The GTR. Just look at it. It's like a zamac blob. Your vaunted NSX isn't much better either. And it's like that with almost every model.

A pity, really. Tomica is one of my favorite brands up until they were made in Japan. From China onwards, they are a freaking joke (exception: when they use a mold originally used in Japan, and even so, there is no comparison in the casting quality).

Besides the wheels, I don't think the 86 I bought has either of the other two. Just my opinion though...

 

[Cano]

Well, I'm sure there are exceptions, I'd need to check out the 86 closely. And yeah the wheels. Tomica REALLY needs to update it's wheels. They have been the same for decades.

Maisto does a 1/64 chevy volt but its very cheap looking

Matchbox also does a prius and its ok looking granted id much rather have the tomica castint

 

[CodeRedR51]

Here's the Jeep I purchased last night.

 

[Cano]

Hard to believe that's 1:64, I've seen 43s that don't look as good.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yeah definitely worth the $3.50 I paid for it. Even the spare on the roof is rubber.

Edit: Apparently Kroger stores are getting their own Mystery packs to be known as "Super Speeders". And the RX-7 will be in the release in white.

I want it in that colour sooo bad.

 

[TheeFrogmanlego]

The rx7 is a perlecent blue white =D sick

 

[CodeRedR51]

That's just the lighting. It's actual pearl white.
