A post on the Lamley Group Facebook Group (affectionately known as the Group Group or LGG) reminded me that I took photos of the TLV and Kyosho 787B's back when TLV released their first. So I am going to post them here. I originally had the #55 replica by Kyosho, but that is now sitting … Continue reading A Tale of Two: Tomica Limited Vintage & Kyosho Mazda 787B’s
I do get a lot of stuff each week. Some store finds, some mail finds, some blog-related content items. Lots of stuff. But it isn't every week I get wall-display items.

Tomica Limited Vintage loves the 1-2 Punch: Release an amazing batch of models one day, getting us nerds into a frenzy, and then cold-cock us from the other side with the announcement of a future release.

Is there such a thing as overkill in the 1/64 world? Probably. Some might argue the JDM craze we have seen hit almost every brand is overkill. Not even close. Maybe some ELEMENTS of the JDM craze, but in general Japanese cars are just filling the gaps that have always been there. Earlier this century, … Continue reading There has been a TON of Nissan GT-R released in 1/64. None of them can top Ignition Model’s offering.

Here is one rule I think every passionate 1/64 collector should live by: When Tomica Limited Vintage releases a Hino Hauler, you jump on that sh*t. That applies to the 5-car Transporters, Firetrucks, Fuel trucks, cabs, box trucks, and now, this new heavy loader.

Here are a few of mine.

Some releases are surely more exciting then others, but there is ALWAYS something intriguing about each release. That is what quality does. One month it might be because a long anticipated model, like the RX-7 coming … Continue reading The little piggies are here! The first “adorable” Tomica Limited Vintage release is out.
