Agreed...depending upon condition, I've paid upwards of $6 for a single casting. But as I love Tomicas :wub: it's not a big deal to me at all.

He doesn't know, he's collecting tomicas to try and get them away from people who actually want them. :rolleyes:

He won't know the difference between a custom coupe or a super saloon.

Awesome! If you're in the States, you should really consider ordering a few from www.milezone.com or www.go-velo-city.com. Both are great places to do business with!

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!
Nice model!

On a side note, very nice picture too. The car looks crisp and clear. Maybe it's the lime green on white background, but that one looks like it's racing right at you!
