For maximum obscurity, today we have here this Oushan COS1° by Changan Automobile.

Well, maybe this series isn’t quite dead yet :)

After much delay since part 2, I bring you part 3 (and unfortunately probably the last) of the series. I think we’ve run out of makes/models that come and go vs. what Tomica has produced over the years. Enjoy.

While not a Tomica product, this has been making its rounds on Tomica collector pages recently, due to the fact that it lends itself nicely to Tomica’s Initial D cars. I finally got my hands on one.

You have a first world problem when you’re struggling to figure out what Tomica to put in your official store display case. :P

You’ve seen part 1 and part 2... I’m working on a collection for part 3, but thought I’d share my most epic photo to date:

In Part 1, I kicked off a new hobby/game of mine whereby I see a random parked car on the street from my window and try to dig up the corresponding Tomica.

So I recently scored this Tomica Jaguar XJ-S racing at a very reasonable price on ebay:

While the quality of modern-day Tomica cannot be compared to those of the yesteryear, one long-standing and unique aspect of Tomica (compared to other contemporary manufacturers) is that you can find a lot of bread-and-butter cars in the lineup.

I used to be able to remember exactly what I have in my collection. However, I’ve clearly aged, in that I totally forgot about this unremarkable piece in my collection, until I recently saw a familiar looking post on ebay...

Got this for fairly cheap off ebay recently (thanks to zero incremental shipping). The condition is clearly reflected in the price:

So this fixer-upper black 911 came in the mail recently. This is slightly less common compared to the lime green variant which I have as well.

Today, we have here this Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat from Hot Wheels.

Today, we have this bronze first-generation Civic. This one came up in a conversation today so I figured I’d dig it out for a quick review.

Today, we have an oddball from my collection. The Tomicarama Pit Stop.

I recently acquired from ebay this older generation Mitsubishi Pajero, sporting what I would presume is some sort of Paris-Dakar rally livery.
