For you guys and gals that like the new Tomicas, you might want to check out Milezone's site. Russ has some up for sale now. http://www.milezone.com/products.asp?idCategory=254 Doesn't show which ones you get, but the price looks decent. |

Yes, that is a decent price, about $4.35 per car. I'm shooting him an email to see if he can shed some light on what's included in that package. |

From Russ himself: "I will not know this until the product comes available, as this a first time sample order for us. We are hoping to see new products mid next month. Thanks" Guess we'll wait and see! |

Actually this sounds kinda cool..I'd be very interested to see what cars are in this collection, but as I just spent another $xx on Tomys, I'll have to wait and see. Russ please us posted. |

Hopefully he will update the site when they come in, they're usually pretty good about that. |

Should be interesting! My guess is Tomica will send him a sample of all the different models they have currently in the range- a few cars, a few trucks, some service vehicles, construction vehicles, etc. |

If it's like a trade box, chances are it will be a mixture of everything in their current range. And each box may be different in terms of its contents. I had the offer of buying a Norev trade box last year, but I didn't in the end because their were too many models I didn't want. |

That's why if at all possible, I'd like to see what's in the box before committing to buy. Despite being Tomy, I don't want to end up with a group of vehicles I'm not too keen about. |

Or ones you already have. That's my major concern- that and getting the trucks (which are way too small for my liking). |

Russ has them up now to buy individually or as a 23 vehicle set. Has pics for each casting along with the box. The GT-R looks cool. The Toyota MegaCruiser police casting is awesome looking. Some of the castings shown are ones that Rob and David have posted on here. http://www.milezone.com/products.asp?idCategory=254 |

I'm glad I didn't get that set after all! I have a few of them (heh, the gold Nissan Wingroad was even car of the day a few weeks back!), and about half are vehicles that don't fit into my collecting scope (trucks/construction equipment- and the only reason they don't fit my requirements is because they are way too small). |

I was going to order from Milezone, but I just had to have the Limited Civic Type R, so I made this order from GVC instead:![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I like the Fit as well, it almost looks like a 4-door version of my car. |

Two other sources for new Tomy's are go-velo-city.com ( Kevin Clark in Bellefonte PA) and tomysource@aol.com ( Bob Blum in Albany NY) Last I heard Kevin was selling his for $6 each and Bob for $8 . Both dealers were at Macungie for the "inside" show. |

This is actually my second purchase from Go-Velo-City. I was impressed with how quickly the first came and how neatly it was packed, but the prices are a little higher than Milezone. Still, I'm willing to pay the price and that Civic just seals the deal. Do you know if Mr. Blum sells anywhere besides eBay? |

This is a planned stop on mext summer's road trip. What a beating my poor wallet will take... JediMario: When you get the Subie, please-please (PLEASE) post pics. That's one I've been wanting since it was available as a pre-order item at ToyEast.com. |

Will do. I'll probably get the Limited version if they choose to produce it. |

Go-Velo-City has a storefront in Bellefonte, and offers sales from their website as well. Likewise, Kiddie Kar Kollectibles in Reading has a storefront and a website as well. Unfortunately Kiddie Kar doesn't handle Tomicas. |
