In fact... Here it is!

'82 City BlackBox.. (Hope it works..)

 

[a6m5]

Don't worry, @a6m5 The City's pictures are coming!
(Note: I have two. the blue one's bought later than the black.)

Thank god.

None of these guys in here appreciate Honda City, except me.

I've been after the Tomica Limited version, but they've been stuck at $20 forever. I tried haggling with the seller, but no avail.

In fact... Here it is!

Still no go.



Looks like even the gtplanet website doesn't appreciate City!

Did Honda sell them over there? I'm shocked they didn't in the U.S. It would've been a huge hit on the west coast.

I think so. I've seen enough here. In highschool one of my friends had one.

For a chap of my height and weight it was a sport in itself getting in hahah

Now I know why it wasn't sold in the U.S.

 

[NT_03]

It works now..

I guess doesn't like cities..

They are hilariously small.

Three 6ft tall people in the back made it look like a low rider hahaha

But, over here.. The city's actually a successor to the EK civic as subcompact..

I currently own a 2012 model Honda City. It's automatic though, since my sister also drives it (I could have preferred a manual) but traffic in Manila is hell.


Moving on to Tomica news:

Release date for this is on August 2. It's basically the one that will be shown in the upcoming Initial D movie.

(In short, that's the early version)

 

[NT_03]

^ I actually have that car, with the carbon hood.

Anyway, here's two AS-series Tomica Avanzas.

L- Silver Mica Metallic
R- Black

 

[Cano]

Ok so, Tomicas, eh?

I don't own a single Limited (altough I plan to change that pretty soon, it's jus that freaking Kyoshos keep crossing my way dammit), but I have a bunch of the older ones made in Japan, so they're worth something and are quite collectible. Like this thing here:

 

[NT_03]

^ What's the specifications on that car?
-BTW, The TL series of Tomica's now discontinued, since last year.
But the LV and the LVN it still going..

 

[Cano]

^ What's the specifications on that car?

I'd wager a very late 70's-early 80s build date, still made in Japan 👍 and also quite rare to find in such a good shape, those (awesome) wheels were specially prone to cracking ):

 

[RCKakashi14]

I have yet to buy a single F-Series Tomica. It costs an arm and leg.

Or one actually costs 5 of my Kyoshos.


For now, I'm still waiting for the Tomica Spyker C8 Laviolette SWB.

It looks like it's made around '76-'88. Do you have the box..? Just sayin..

I've nearly bought an F-series Tomica.. It was that or the extremely-rare Tomica Limited #0001, released in 2001. I instead got the Limited..

 

[Daniel008]

Some work need to be done...

 

[Cano]

Nah, no box here. Thinking about it now, I don't have a single Tomica in the box. I have several vintage tomicas but none of them with the original box, as most of the time the cost really skyrockets when they come with the box.

Here, have another vintage Tomica made in Japan, the toy version of the severely posted lately Supersillohuette Skyline, which might be a perfect excuse for @a6m5 to repost his TLV version. Right?

This mint thing cost me a buck at a flea market. Love when that happens.

 

[RCKakashi14]

A dollar?!? Seriously?!?


*gets handgun and shoots himself at the head*

*gets handgun and shoots himself at the head*

Well... it actually cost me less than a dollar. About 80 cents at current exchange rates

It's one of those times when you really score with a guy that doesn't know a thing about what he has in their hands 👍 doesn't happen often... at least not as often as before, but when it does maaaaan it feels great

That's an '82.. But seriously.. A Dollar! In Japan, you have to spend at least 2,000 Yen to buy that!

I saw that thing in the store lately. It costs as much as 3 Kyoshos.

Pretty sure that car doesn't belong to him, the seller. Lolx

 

[NT_03]

But.. 80C is a steal!

 

[jtl46]

Woah, nice display! How long did it take you to make it, and how did you make it?

I didn't make it. It is a Carney Plastics 108-car display, I just had them customize one in white.

 

[jtl46]

.............................................................................................. Do you live in a museum?



My jaw just dropped, man. That is the most impressive display of Tomcia I've seen since........ the Tomica Museum & that Shizuoka collector, or some hobby show from just few weeks ago. Just awesome. 👍

Do you also have the red CR-X I'm after? Their first release?

I don't have the red CR-X, but I just shot an email to Japan Booster asking if they do. I will let you know.

Yes, I know it's quite expensive as it is the real, made-in-Japan deal. In fact I only own a single made-in-China, late-model Tomica, and it's the exac same car with an aniversary something gold tampo on the roof that I bought like 10 years ago off E-Bay for a buck and change, shipped. All other tomicas I have are vintage, Japan-made cars, including the brown truck I posted above. It isn't a 90s reissue, it's also the real 70s-80s-deal (:

Here, have another one that also cost me 80 cents, bought it with the same guy I bought the Skyline. Also Japan-made... bozosoku bike, mang!

Mint as all heck, too.
