Choro-Q Q-14 Mazda Roadster ND(AKA Miata)

At less than five bucks, this cute little pull-back Mazda Roadster/Miata hitched along with my order containing TLVs & Kyoshos.

Tomica Limited Vintage NEO: LV-N113a BMW 325i 2-Door Patrol Car(Fukushima Prefecture Police Car)

Included are two red lamps you attach in front of the grille.

Both my parents are originally from Fukushima, so while I'm not the biggest fan of TLV BMW casting, "Fukushima Police" thing swayed me to order this casting.  I am glad, as this is a pretty nice looking patrol car(Japanese term for police cars).  

In the last photo(front/rear), it looks like the car's been totaled before.  lol

Tomica Limited Vintage NEO LV-N114a Audi 80 2.0E Police Car/Polizeiwagen(Germany Vers.)

Long awaited Audi polizeiwagen......  TLV certainly didn't let us down!

Gorgeous detailing.  :)

Choro-Q Zero Z-33c Volkswagen Delivery Van(NGK Spark Plug)

I can go on about this Choro-Q, but I won't.  All you need is love & pictures.

One of my favorite Choro-Q next to one of my favorite Hot Wheels:

Tomica Limited Vintage NEO Nissan Concept 2020 Vision Gran Turismo

This one is different.  Many TLV fans & Gran Turismo fans were excited about this model.  I was not one of them.  I did think that it was interesting, but to be honest, as far as the December releases go, I was WAY more excited about the Audi Polizei model.  

I still remember my first reaction to the 2020 VGT:  Weird & futuristic Nissan GT-R(Skyline).  

I still think that way in a sense that just like with the debut of Nissan GT-R(R35), I'm "not sure" about the design.  In fact, starting now, I am referring to this car as the GT "Rated" R.

Skip to 1:09, and if you haven't seen this movie, you needed to see it like almost twenty years ago(how old am I? Jesus...).

I'm sorry, I'm trying to say that with both the R35 & Vision GT, it wasn't instant "I LOVE THIS CAR!!!".  It was a cautious, or deliberate approach.  I don't want to give 2020 VGT too much credit, but like with artwork, more I look at it, more interesting it gets.  More so than with the real life car R35 GT-R, as this design is way more complex.  Sorry, too much talking:

I'm going to quote John from the #1 minicar blog on the planet Lamley:  "As always, TLV wins.  Best 1:64 carmaker with no one even close..."  A bold statement, and I do wonder if he was 100% serious, but after checking this car out myself, I have to agree.  From the curves to the tiny Nissan emblems, cleanly detailed brake rotors, etc., it is very impressive in 1/64 scale.  I am super glad to have this car in my collection.  Big shift from the time I preordered one months ago!
