So I try to get up early this morning...didn't happen and rolled into work about 11:30am...stayed a few hours (unpaid until contract starts tomorrow) but got lots done. Go home, and this is in the mailbox. I cannot believe the shipping time...I ordered these on July 24. WOW!! Enough blah blah - on with the show. Isuzu Elf Basket Truck - my Brother drives a similar truck @ his job ![]() Toyota Probox CNG EcoDrive - I love the Probox casting ![]() Tokoyo Auto Salon Honda Odyssey - it even has blue headlights ![]() Nissan Bluebird and Nissan Sunny - both 1:64 but seem a bit small - still love 'em ![]() Toyota Celica XX 2800GT from the Tomica Limited Collection - very cool! ![]() Mitsubishi Pajero and Toyota Alphard (the side door even slides open) ![]() Honda Odyssey and Toyota Mark X (I think it is the new Camry...anyone?) ![]() Toyota Crown/Toyota Probox Public Highway Patrol - Love the Probox ![]() Mitsubishi Canter Moving Truck - wanted this for a while now ![]() I used hints given by fine members of this board for the pics, but as they say "practice makes perfect" so I'll keep trying. And sorry for so many pics - I don't have enough patience to make a separate thread for each car.

Very nice! These from your bro? I'm seeing a lot not offered at go-velo-city. And I think a lot of usually group cars from single finds in a single post, so it's cool

Thanks for the kudos...I like seeing posts with single cars, but I don't have the patience to do it that way. These came from ToyEast rather than my Brother. Seemed reasonably priced, and the shipping time was amazing. http://www.toyeast.com/v3/catlvl2list.asp?cat_id=9&clvl=2 |

Major sweet finds David. The funky looking Toyota Alphard casting is my favorite by far. Now I'm longing for some Tomys myself.
Thanks for all the pics.

X2. I'm a former owner (and NUTHOUSE is a current owner) of the Celica Supra (US market XX). The best part? Those rims are the correct L-Type rims for that car- mine had them. And for the record, the rest of the cars are stunning as well. I like the Odyssey- would love to see some pics of the blue headlights! The Nissans are small cars, hence why the castings are so small. The banger crew will probably compliment both of these as both are frequent banger racers. I so have got to get that Celica XX! I see a few others there I need to get my hands on as well... The only one of the bunch I have is the Mark X (not a Camry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Mark_X ). I've also got one Odyssey (but not in either of those color schemes). |

I've been wanting the Celica for a while now, then accidently ordered the rest of them.
The Limited Series are excellent examples of Tomy's workmanship. So far I'm up to three, including this Celica. |

You're exactly right. That is one already on my "want/need" list. |

I'm looking forward to the release of the new Subaru Impreza in the regular line
I'm also after the Toyota Celsior (Lexus LS430), but it seems like quite a hard casting to come by. Oh, and not forgetting that lovely Civic wagon that is currently COTD That's even harder to come by than the Celsior

Subaru WRX= I've seen the Honda wagon on ebay here-and-there, and it always goes up-up-up in price. Did you check out the ToyEast for the Celsior? |

I checked their website but couldn't find it. There is a seller on you know where that has one on, which could be toyeast. I've got the standard '75 Civic, but that's much easier to get hold of considering it's been re-released so many times. Pull your finger out Tomica - re-issue the Civic Wagon! |

I spent about two hours on the Toy East site last night. If & when I order it's going to be $300+. Wow... |
