The 30th Anniversary Tomica Cars and Case Set II

I've forgotten how awesome this set looked complete.

Still have a few of the items here in loose but mint condition.

I was rummaging through my cabinet when I saw some Tomicas from 2000 and earlier hidden under some Hot Wheels and MB's.

What struck me was the fact that they are old school vehicles and aside from being hard to find on the diecast market, they are likewise hard to find as real 1:1 vehicles.

There are a lot more of them there but here is the first batch, for your viewing pleasure.

By the way, all these vehicles except the Subaru came from the 30th Anniversary Tomicas Cars and Case set released in 2000.

A pair of Mercedes Benz A-class by Tomica

The very first toys on this blog are a pair of Mercedes Benz A-Class in 1/64 scale by Tomica.

Both of these are special models, the green one comes from the Tomica 30th Anniversary 24 model Cars and Case Set while the blue one is from a special 2 car Tomica Fan Club Set also released during the 30th Anniversary of Tomica and during the 5th Year of the Tomica Fan Club.

Today, both these models are available only through specialized toy stores and sometimes through Ebay.
