I'd pulled these out and taken pictures for another forum - I'd forgotten how much fun they are to play with! The nice thing is that most have really nice spring loaded actions that are still working - the dyno is my favourite.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But what I got in the mail yesterday really bowled me over. I'd won an ebay auction from Hong Kong, described as Tomica World #1 and #5, good condition. At US$ 10.00, I was the only bidder. When I opened the parcel yesterday and pulled them out I nearly fell over - these are very early 1970s issues, made in Japan - in the original cellophane wrapper, never been opened! I will liberate them eventually - but only on a quiet weekend afternoon, maybe with a nice glass of something, and sloooowly... My mate Dave is coming over from NZ soon, if he behaves, I'll let him watch. ![]()

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

Very cool, and congrats on the eBay score. What do you know, there are still some bargains left on the 'Bay! ![]() My favorite is also the dyno, though I'm also mesmorized by the vintage Tomicas (and do I spot a Mandarin in there too?). Great cars you have there!

You must be thinking of the Mitsubishi - but no, that's a Tomica too. But Mandarin have done this car as well. |

Yup, that's the one I was thinking of, and I think Mandarin's was even in the same color or close to it... |
