^ I have one loose and one carded. Metal base is a nice touch.
TomyTec showing just how halfarsed they are now. Glad I only ever bought one TLV.
And Lamley no longer being here? No loss.

Look what I found...
The catch? You have to cough up 75 USD.

Pretty much what they're pulling on eBay. I can only assume we won't see it as a normal Tomica Premium model.

The original casting was made with the hood as a separate piece in order to minimize the cost of producing pre & post-facelift versions. They did the same thing with the Honda S600/S800 coupes.

So what does separate mean? I'm slow.

Still think that the coolest aspect of those HK edtion Civics are the boxes. The box art rocks.

It's the EF Civic all over again. Sorting through each one trying to find just a single car that has b-pillar tampos that line up properly...

Not sure about that colour at all but it's such a cool casting. Slowing down on TLV's but I might make an exception for this.

Dammit, I told myself I wouldn't buy these (the CF texture is far too big IMHO) but after seeing your post I brought up eBay in another tab and found a seller doing the pair for £45, wife won't be happy as I've already spent my 'diecast allowance' on a 1/43 Ignition Model R34 but as an ex-EK9 owner I found it hard to resist.
Still no news on the Championship White facelift version they teased at one of the model show earlier in the year. I had a facelift in CW so that's the one I really want.

Eurgh! Is it just me or has HW's tampo application gone massively downhill in the last decade or so? I swear the cars I had when I was a kid were generally lined up ok and considering most race cars had pretty detailed (often multi-colour) liveries I don't remember so many issues. I've passed on so many cars because the tampos were way off. It took ages to find a MK3 Focus RS that had the headlights in the right place and trying to find an R33 where the taillights were straight was a nightmare!
Also it's hard to tell from the pics on T-Hunted, but the chassis looks like it's riveted properly, in which case that front lower bumper is appalling, it makes the car look like a dodgem (bumper car)!
Meh, I was hoping more for the purplely blue colour they offer.
I still haven't picked one of these up, I missed out on the original white one which is the one I'd most want as it's the most common colour and I wasn't sold on the silver version either, but after watching an episode of MightyCarMods where they hired one of these in the purple colour I'm hoping that's a future release as it looked quite cool.

That's reassuring, Hopefully it doesn't end up looking so 'fat'!

Still planning on buying TLV's on occasion, when a model appeals to me like the flatbed. But I'm long past the point of ordering every month.
