Tomica Limited Vintage NEO LV-N197a Honda Integra 3-Door Coupe XSi('91)

I couldn't wait to share this one.  Bluebird stationwagon's great, especially in the Yokohama livery, but it's the Integra(Bluebird will come later).  I only ordered this, because I remember it from like 1990.  Back when we had car magazines.  I think it was Road & Track, where its 0-60 was like over 9 seconds or something.  It looked so sporty I couldn't believe how slow it was.  lol

Still, that car really did look great & check this 1/64 scale version out!

Looks amazing, right?  But that's not all, it's also a plastic model!  Bring your own glue!(I hate this stuff)

Tomica Limited Vintage LV-185a('73) & LV-185b('76) Mazda Porter Cab "一方開"(READ LOL)

Not a full-time blogger anymore, just a slacker pants. Prelude will have to wait for another day......


 If you are hardcore TLV collector, you have noticed & wondered what the heck a "一方開" is, which appears after the Mazda Porter Cab title on the box.  "一方" means one side, one way, etc.  "開" means "open".  One way open?  One side open?  Door opens, but won't close or something?

Well, I had to Google it.  Lot of these light trucks(kei-tora), they have not only the tailgate, but also the side panels dropped open?(turning it into a flatbed)  With this truck, only "one side" dropped open.  The tailgate.  The more you know.

I'm a big fan of TLV's T360 casting.  These Mazda Porter Cabs are amazing.  With the plastic, resin or whatever both headlights & taillights, detailing & assembly does beat out the T360's.  Instant classics for me.
