O M G ! ! ! I didn't know these were out there. Looks to be from the "recent" movie version (love the new Tbird inspired FAB1!) T5 is a bit different as well. If any Tomica collectors can get access, I would sure appreciate some assistance with getting this set, please! |

Neat! Looks to me that this picture is originally from a toy fair and not a store, so I'm sure they're not out yet. This is from the much later animated series, not the older live-action one. |

Yes, they aren't out yet and won't be until later this year (August). The vehicles debuted at the Tokyo Toy Fair this past weekend. The models are based on the new series “Thunderbirds are Go”. 829 Japan has coverage of the toy fair, including more pictures of the models - http://829japan.com/2015/06/20/event-report-tokyo-toy-show-2015/ You should be able to get them through shops like AmiAmi or HLJ, as well as through 829 Japan. |

Do the wings swivel on Thunderbird 1? I remember finding the old Matchbox TB1 at a garage sale and the wings worked. |

If I lived in a country that sold Tomica, I'd probably not be able to afford to collect any other brand, there are so many interesting things to collect.

Would $14 be a reasonable price for a Matchbox "set" with TB1 in it? I have a vague recollection of it being available locally in our "antique" toy shop. Could have been TB2, though. I was drooling over it and decided not to buy because I didn't want to get hooked on yet another "space" type diecast series. Should'a took a picture.... |

I don't much of anything about the Mbx TBs sets, but I remember a local hobby shop had one of them sets, around late 90's, but they had it priced at $50 way back then. |

Those are the ones I found, Microbuss. I only found TB1 and TB3. I didn't know what they were at the time. I just thought they looked cool.
