You think you are sick of it, I kinda am, too.

I still think it's one of the most impressive TLV castings though.  The coupe version(they call it 2-door Sedan) LV-152a & LV-152b are due out in July(2015).


WOOD ON THE SIDE!!! XD: Tomica Limited Vintage LV-N04a Toyota Townace Wagon 1800 Custom

I think the last hot wheels/minicar I bought with the wood on the side was the Chevy Kingswood Estate by the Auto World?(absolutely fantastic btw)  We don't want too many vehicles with wood on the side, but man, I think we could use little more.  That's just me.

This ain't no WRX.  If it was AWD, I'll eat my Atlanta Braves hat.

Dream Tomica: "Initial D" Skyline GT-R R32 + AE86 Trueno "Hachiroku"

One thing about ordering cars monthly from AmiAmi is, sometimes, you casually throw stuff into the shopping basket that you may not need.  Impulse buys.

I've read couple of mangas in the series, but these still don't do much for me.  I did like the Trueno from the same Dream Tomica series.  I don't have any pics of the new version(white hood), but here's the old pic:

Much, much better I think.




Tomica Limited Vintage Neo: LV-N105a Toyota Century

Awesome, but why, why Tomica?  Why not the super vintage original Century?  I think I posted somewhere that new Century is better than no Century, and after receiving my car, I still feel the same.  It's EXPENSIVE(paid ¥1,950 for mine), and I was..... still am alarmed by the rising prices of these high-quality 1/64 cars, but I have to admit that the quality is definitely top notch.  I do observe inconsistent shade of paint on the roof, but that's probably isolated to mine.  Besides, it's just enough to border between noticeable flaw to acceptable.  Pics:

Century is a domestic VIP car.  It's like the more exclusive version of the Lincoln Towncar, not quite Rolls Royce.  Of course, like with anything, there are exception to the rule, but as a general rule, it must be chauffeured, and usually belongs to VIPs from corporate, royal, politics, even gangs(yakuzas).  It's a Japanese limousine.

When they do Nissan President, if they do the newer one, I will jump off a bridge.
