Whoa, BRE Nismo! That one slipped by me, didn't know it was coming out. I'll definitely be getting one of those. I'm counting down the days until I get my hands on that Wrangler Unlimited. That is going to be hard to top for me personally this year. My old one was black so I can't wait to get it. I might have gone a little crazy, ordered 4 black and 2 yellow, 2 of each to keep stock and two extra to play around with, maybe try and turn into a soft top.

Yeah, I'm a little late. They came out on Saturday.

EDIT: Actually I don't think the Jeep and Lighting truck are out yet. They should be available on the 15th (3rd Saturday of the month).

The others came out on the 8th, during the Tomica Expo in Yokohama.

The BRE Nismo is a TRU exclusive and it came out on Saturday August 8th.
Lately the TRU exclusives have been selling out fast, (as has been the case for many of the recent transporters), making them hard to get and the prices tend to go up. The Nismo should be easier, as I heard they would also be selling it online (in Japan only of course).
You might check with 829 Japan for availability.

No the Jeep and light truck are out - HLJ has both in stock. AmiAmi is sold out of both Jeeps, but has the light truck.

Sorry, I'm going by the dates listed on the Tomica website. They list the release date for the regulars as August 15.

Many online dealers list the models for sale far in advance, and tend to get actual stock a week or two before the retail to market date.

As mentioned in previous posts - Ami Ami, HLJ (Hobby Link Japan), and for more personal service, 829 Japan. And there are others, including Daboxtoys. Google the names & you'll find links.

:D One has got to just love that Noodle Cup on wheels! Would be tempting to get. Really like the two Mazda CX-5's - police and safety car versions. The light truck is an interesting looking model - again Tomica offers so much with great play value.

Awesome...makes me tempted to track one down even though it is not an emergency vehicle. :lol: Same could be said of the Yanmar combine...my rural roots are showing! :)

A bit off-topic here, but yesterday I was in a Walmart and a couple of store manager-types were scanning diecast (with their little handheld computer thingees); they seemed perplexed about something, one was on the phone to someone. Turns out, they had just scanned the Hot Wheels Star Wars 'aircraft' or space fighter craft--XWings and the like--and the series wasn't showing up properly. The word they got on the phone was those items aren't to be sold until September 15. (Yes, a MONTH from now.....the phrase was "they're not released yet".)

Meanwhile, I have almost the full set of them, purchased back in July at two different Walmarts in two different cities. Sadly, one new release on the pegs was not available to me because they were "not allowed to be sold yet".

Go figure. I told them I have almost the entire set....they didn't seem impressed.
