So what would be the difference between the premium and the TLV ? Didn't they already release these two back then?

You might be thinking of the "Tomica Limited"(not Vintage), which i think were based on mainline Tomica castings(w/more detailing, rubber tires). Tomica Premium is the all-new series that replaced Tomica Limited.

That Toyota looks great. May have to pick one up.

Gotta correct myself. These will be released on April.

I need more coffee...

Japan Historics 2 set.

There's a facebook guy willing to do $45 in the US for the whole thing, if that's even a good price.

Is anyone interested?

 

[Spacegoat]

Are even the words upside down in Australia?

That's a silly question.

I like the boxes the Silhouette's and GT-R's come in. The bigger Japanese Car Era and Crazy Ken boxes are a bit silly. All that for one tiny car?

April Tomica Premiums:

Oh wow, the R32. That's a nice surprise.

Yeah just looked them up, the details on the premium is much much better.

Some nice ones, including a Countach Pace Car and the new 2018 Mustang

Lovely. Literally only a handful I'll be looking out for all year.

First Johnny Lightning and Best Of Matchbox ever. Couldn't be more happy about it.

Make it iced Suntory Boss in a can amirite, with a side of 1/64 diecast.

Generally the low price is around $50, shipped. I waited for $40, shipped, but I only saw that just once(and that's the set I have).

That's a silly question.

You are the silly goat!!!

Again, it's the waste of space that kills me. Standard tiny little Tomica boxes = Golden Win.

Yeah just looked them up, the details on the premium is much much better.

I used to have a Tomica Limited 2000GT(blog). It was cool, but I sold it for something else.

Couldn't have done any better myself. Great picks!

You mean these?

The proportion on the premium looks better imo. Check out the R32 Skyline, that just need a new set of bigger wheels and it's perfect.

Couldn't have done any better myself. Great picks!

Thanks! The JL looks AMAZING. The details, stance, proportions, Oh. My. God.

And i thought the Land Cruiser from Matchbox looks great.

Whoa dude is that a 190E ?

 

[RCKakashi14]

Yes. Arguably the best 1:64 rendition of the car. Shame that no brand is marked under the chassis.

And the AMG GT S as well.

I recently bought the mint green version of the JL Toyota and it is indeed sharp as hell. Wish I had money to dump on several of the new JL releases. They rule.

 

[domalorite]

A shop had a sample of the TSM Civic and I was expressionless. Maybe it’s because it’s a sample but it looked just like a Tarmac Works, and not a Kyosho. Dunno, I really hope the final product is better...

That looks more badass than the Hot Wheels version.

I picked up the "mud" version of red Land Cruiser w/boat trailer, also red pickup version. I've been wondering how long it was gonna be until JL re-release the coveted Land Cruisers.

I feel like I had my expectations too high. Same with Ignition Model. I hope they both turnout okay.

McLaren Senna coming to Mini GT.

That was quick.

I'm curious about the R32 GTR. If it looks half as good as Kyosho then i'll get it.

but do you have any pictures you are willing to disclose to your GTP buddies though?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Some more hobby exclusive Auto World's coming. These are sharp. Definitely in for the yellow, but will most likely purchase both.

I wasn't allowed to take any photos. The whole world has seen these so not sure why.

Alternately you can visit Lamley where he previewed the blue one. The one I saw was white and it didn't look as good as his blue sample. But then maybe the darker color is masking some of the finer details.

A bit disappointing imo. This is like the FuguZ from Cars & Donuts all over again.

Great scott!

The wheels on the GT2 isn't final right? Looks odd.

 

[GTboyz]

Ughh seriously? How hard is it to paint that rear bumper without crap like that?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Bad pic but oh well. Some Greenlight CHP cars that are decent. Still want someone else to do these. *cough*Auto World*cough*

Edit: and I wish the Charger was a slick top.
