When I used to actively collect Hot Wheels & minicars, this is one of the sets I had laid my eyes on.  I had forgotten all about it until I saw this tweet from the Japanese collector I know.  Awesome frigging box!  

Little bit underwhelmed?  Well, in my view & F60 mentions this in one of his tweets as well, but it's a surprise in itself to see a set like this from Tomica.  Recently, a mainline Matchbox featured Mooneyes livery, and I was bit taken by that one as well.  In 1/64 genre, when I think of "Mooneyes", it's all Hot Wheels & M2 Machines.  Anywho, this part is the real treat.  This set, out of the box:

 "Skyline"

 "bB"(Scion xB in the U.S.)

"Datsun Truck"

"Glory Rod - Gloria"

Special thanks to @F60  You can checkout hit Twitter account full of hot wheels & minicars here.  He collects EVERYTHING.  No wonder we get along.  :D

 If you like Mooneyes livery, try using the search box on the top left corner of this page, too.  I'm sure I have few cool Mooneyes vehicles in this blog.  :)

Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary 50 Car Display Case feat. Exclusive '83 Chevy Silverado

Another Hot Wheels purchase from a guy who doesn't collect them anymore.  lol  I kinda wanted to check them out if it was under $50(it was right at $50 from amazon, free shipping).  Even if I wasn't impressed with it, I figured I could stash it as investment, or give it away as a gift.

**I forgot to mention - These displays were supposed to be sold also through Walmart, Target & "other specialty stores"**

Initially, I wasn't even going to open this thing, but long story short: Thanks to yet another mishandling by USPS, I was forced to open it to inspect this one for damage.  Thankfully, not a scratch.  *phew*

Back & side.

On the back are the holes to hang the display on the wall.  Very cool.

Storable stand/feet if you want to display the cars on the desk, or counter.  Brilliant.

***I just rested the display on the feet for photos, they weren't fully seated***

When I first saw the hot wheels 50 car display, it reminded me of this Tomica display case:

Pwned pretty hard here amirite.

Tomica Gran Turismo 2 Set

I used to be a big Gran Turismo fan.  In fact, I learned much about these toy cars & this hobby on the world's largest Gran Turismo website.  Gran Turismo, GT2, then GT3....  Good times.  They kinda lost me with all the delays on GT4, then beyond.  I was all about Call of Duty after that.  :/

Anywho, the wonderful Gran Turismo Tomica cars!

I like the screen shots from the game's vehicle selection menu, inside the box cover.  Nice touch.

RX-7 & R34 GT-R

Looks like S2K & R33 Skyline?

Lancia Stratos & Mini Cooper

Very realistic, true to the game.  Every third car is a Skyline. ROFL

Thanks for letting me use these pics Jarrod!

Tomica Suzuki Alto

"Every third Saturday is a Tomica Day"....  That's what the red thing in the corner says.  Is that their release schedule or something?  Interesting.....

Well, today we got something different.  These Altos are not from my collection, but they belong to my buddy Jarrod.  Lot of times, our taste in 1/64 cars are very similar, but sometimes.... they are not. lol

White one is the introductory "special" color release.

I was just thinking.  For Suzuki, maybe it's cheaper to paint all liftgate same color.  For Tomica, that probably costs more.  Hehe.

Dream Tomica - Initial D S13 Nissan Silvia

Dream Tomica Hello Kitty Stripe Ribbon

I had this on preorder for the longest time.

Okay, I kid.  It was a bonus car seller generously included with another purchase I made(will be posted in the very near future).  

Considering the car I actually paid for, this wasn't a bonus I expected, but hey, it's a gift & I always say I appreciate little variety.  :D

 Hello Kitty!

Dream Tomica Initial D FC3S RX-7

I love Tomica, and this is my favorite gen Mazda RX-7....

These rims, neither.  lol

It's priced I think around $5?(plus shipping)... meh.
