About a week ago I got lucky on this lot of 75. I paid about $56 for it with free shipping.

A sea of ziploc bags later.......

Here is an overview of most of them.

It's an odd lot consisting of havy equipment, trucks, commercial vehicles, and a few cars. Most are Superfast and Black Box tomica era while a few are from the 90's. The M2 Machines being the newest (2012,2013)

Oh man, it's too bad about that red Stretcha Fetcha, but it's still a nice thing to get if you didn't have one. Does it still have its label?

A very nice Tomica truck collection to get all at once, and many other great models. :thumbup:

Some interesting pieces there--especially if you like trucks. I'm thinking the Tomicas were probably well worth the money.

There is quite a nice assortment of Tomica trucks in that lot - all appear to be in very good condition. A good buy with lots of good stuff for your collection.

Is that a German-issue only Stretcha Fetcha I see? Too bad it's really smashed up, as that's a really rare model. However, it does look like the glass has been melted instead of broken.

Except for the Stretcha Fetcha, everything is in good shape, as if it had been collector owned since new.


Something tells me the collector did something like I often do. It might be in bad shape, but it's cheap compared to the "good" versions, and bought it.

The Tough Customer, yet another military vehicle to add to my list.

Just what tank is Tough Customer based on?

By the way, what's the artillery gun next to it?

Great buy! Judging by the Tomica truck liveries and the castings, looks like these were Pocket Car releases.

I want to say that the model is based on the M60 Patton tank, due to the turret shape and overall aesthetics.

Since this model was first released in 1975, it makes sense that it would be an M60.

The Tough Customer is definitely based on a Patton. Here's a real one for comparison.
