Just got the word from Japan Booster that the March Release from Tomica Limited Vintage has arrived, and yes, it’s loaded:
Tomica Limited Vintage at Japan Booster
It starts with the return of two very popular models. First the EK Civic Type R debuted last month to much fanfare, and it returns this month in two more colors, along with another Honda CR-X.
Next, the Datsun 510 Rally is back, this time is a real livery, so to speak. The first release was from a movie – but it actually raced in real life – but this new one is based on an actual rally car, in a very familiar livery.
All four of these above are must-haves, but the star for me is the Hino HH 3-Axle Tractor Head. We have seen this cab before, but with two axles. Here we go three, and it looks incredible. Now we need a trailer.
It is a great release, but then again they all are.
I ordered one from Japan Booster a while back. The one I ordered had a #4 on the Drivers door and a “” SHELL “” logo on the passenger door. Plus the rims were more chrome and a lot shiny. Their is one on EBAY with the “” SHELL “” logo and the #4. Hope when mines get here the “”” SHELL “”” logo is on it. Yours maybe and error car (no Shell logo showing on yours). Also,mines is on the way. I have a tracking number. 😞
I was just checking ebay and they have the shell logo on it but…. it’s more of a stock photo that Tomica provided rather than showing the actual model and the box on John’s photo does not so its a question of whether Tomica change the design at the last minute or not.
Pictures were probably pre-production, and the ebay listings look like the same Tomica photos. The Shell logo may have been a licensing matter. Dull finish wheels look more authentic on a rally car, too.
Thanks for the replies.Mine is on the way. Cannot wait to check it. Thanks guys.
John, I checked Japan Booster and the 510 is nowhere to be found. Must be out of stock.
Japan Booster on ebay shows “more than 10”.
Must have been restock as it was available from other sellers except Japan booster when I did a search in ebay 2 days ago. That’s great.
