Pretty neat car, but I think I passed on this car initially because in the original issue, the yellow one I wanted didn't have sunroof, or something trivial like that. I was sort of glad I put it off, because the new one is a canvas top with a luggage bag on the back. Little stuff can go long way with the silly collectors. :D
The little details you mentioned, really make the Be-1. For me it's up there with the Bluebird 2 door sedan. It's perfect. :O
ReplyDeleteAlso, I can't believe it's taken you this long to post it!
Yep, it's been too long. :D I agree with you on the casting, too. Pretty right on the money. I just wish TLV stop packaging these things in the collectible packaging though. As a high volume collector, I find that smaller the packaging the better. I love their standard mini boxes.
DeleteBut there's a standard box inside! :p
ReplyDeleteI do like the collectible packaging but they are a complete pain to store because of the space they take up. lol.
That's exactly what I'm talking about. In the medium tote, I can pack so many of those standard boxes, but going by my own photo at the top of the post, it looks like the collector boxes are around 4, 5 times larger than the standard one.
ReplyDeleteGo green, Tomica! Go easy on the packaging! :D
Recycle the excess and enjoy the rest. Or sell them off to someone who wants it.
ReplyDeleteI get you broseph, but it's not that simple for most collectors. Resale value!
