Yes not a lot considering how much is available but as this was my tenth trip
(and I pre-order all the new stuff straight out of Japan) there's not a lot left
for me to get.

Very nice. The little fire chief and police cars are the ones that caught my eye! :D Oh and the Subaru wagon is nice as well.

Ohhhh..... good stuff!

My favorites are .... all of them!

But if I had to choose, I'd say the Mazda RX500, and RX-7.

What about that Estima? What's it from? I notice some markings on top...

Also liking the Suzuki Servo police (black box?) and Corolla Sedan fire-chief (Aeon?).

Ah, so they did eventually make the RX500 in another color. RX7 looks good in the yellow and red too. The pocket sized police car is neat too.

Yes and I really need the silver over grey version which seems to be the hardest version to find.
This red one was originally in a gift set as was the Cervo Police Car.

Yes I have a thing for yellow with red interior RX-7's :drool:

Hi Mike, pretty sure it's from a set, yes it's just a logo (I think) for the roof trunk.

Yes I was glad to get the RX500 and the RX-7, they both came off of Yahoo Japan
and sent to a friend in Yokohama.

The Cervo is from a gift set and yes the Corolla was box-less but yes I'm thinking Aeon.

Thanks everyone for the comments!

Okay, officially plotting a course for Japan. Got my available cash in a water-proof pouch, and I shall begin swimming off the coast in the early A.M. If I can hitch a rid now and again on a passing vessel, I'll radio in my progress. If not, my next communication will be from Japan--hopefully by Christmas.

:lol: That's something in line with what I was thinking.
I was going to suggest that Rob has probably been there enough times to almost be considered a regular in some shops!

(And I think he does Hong Kong too, don't you Rob?)

Yes we're definitely regulars, yes we try and do Hong Kong as well.
To get to Japan from Australia you have to fly from Sydney or Brisbane
to go direct or you have a stop in an Asian city and Hong Kong has the
second best shopping when compared to Tokyo. :)

Yes I've got the MB versions of the RX500 as well. It has also been done by Kyosho.

The Levorg is smaller than the Legacy/Outback as it is basically the Imprezza WRX Wagon.

Basic Tomica's range from Y360 to around Y480 so that's $3-$4 US
