I figured you'd like those ones.

I'm still trying to figure out the how and why of the foreign cars they are doing. Not that it matters, but I am curious.

The 105 series Alfas are really popular in real-car world right now. So glad I bought mine when I did!

Lots of awesome releases forthcoming, that's for sure!

While the Police GT-R is really tempting, the black Supra is really the one that catches my eye...

Thanks for posting the images, Michael!

It is interesting to see the pair of Alfa Romeo models being offered by Tomica - of course, they did have that neat F-series in the '70's so always have seemed to be willing to offer "foreign" cars to collectors. I see a number of police cars that would look nice in my collection. :D

Sooo many great models coming out lately! So far I've preordered all the Alfa's and I think that's the most excited I've been about any TLV to date. I'd love to see them tackle some more vintage Italian cars. I've also ordered the blue GT-R, red CR-X and the red Suzuki Fronte SS360. I absolutely love the Milano-Roma-Napoli livery on it and can't wait to see real pictures of it. I'll also be ordering one of the Nissan Leopard's but haven't landed on a color. I'm leaning toward the gold one since it looks the most like an Infiniti M35 which is based on the Leopard. This is definitely the most TLV I've ordered in such a short time span.

So many of them to choose from. I love all the police cars, Leopards, the new Crazy Kent car's club, and all the Alfas, however the Honda versions are my favorites.

Thanks Michael!

It's always interesting to see what different people choose to get.

As much as I think the Alfa's are neat looking, they are the ones I won't be getting. For me the TLV line is all about the cars that were made & sold in Japan.

I started with Toyota only, and now have expanded to all the Japanese makes and models. Needless to say, it's been a busy year and looks like it'll be the same next year. Oh my... :blush:

Well, Stanza Wagon, even though it had absolutely nothing to do with the Stanza.

And the Multi in Canada.

These TLV-N releases have been bad on my wallet. I just can't seem to resist grabbing both colors because i don't want to regret having grabbed the wrong color LOL.

It can't never go wrong buying both colors now, clem 24. I had experienced twice before for not choosing the most popular color then and later on paying premium price for it.
So, I share your concern too.

Wow, it looks great in green! I'm a little disappointed that the rear side vents on the red one aren't black with the chrome vents like the other two, but that's a very minor nitpick, and being a racing livery with an Italian theme, is still the one I'm glad I ordered.

Check out this photo though... http://car.watch.impress.co.jp/img/car/docs/168/422/html/21.jpg.html ...pretty accurate by keeping it red. ;)

Thanks for that! I hadn't seen the real car before, and while I like the black with chrome look better of the other two, I'll take accuracy over which looks better, so I'm glad they stuck with it.
