Found this at a local antique store for $2. The package is fairly good shape too. I've got the green version also, but this one is so much nicer.

I also have this model, but I wonder if really is 1/65 scale, it´s look too small for a big car like this when you compare with others.
The innacurate in scale makes me angry...and by the way the price you paid for it is really cheap.

I agree with you hookie - the scale appears to be a *bit* off as the 1:1 version is a rather big vehicle. But it still looks good, and it makes a nice addtion to my collection.

The cheap price was totally unexpected...I figured it would be at least $10 so $2 was a great bargain.

:confused: First, if this kind of thing makes you angry, then you are taking the hobby too seriously. Go outside and get some fresh air.

Second, I suspect you're wrong. Tomica is quite particular about their scale models and takes the time to determine and label the scale of every casting instead of labeling them all 1/64th like some companies.

The Surf, also known in the US as the 4 Runner was not really a big vehicle back then. It has grown now but back when that was made it was only a compact sized SUV. The size marked is probably correct.

I ain't too big on scale inconsistencies either .

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: Nice find!

It´s only a way to speak, I´m not really angry, what I mean is I´m very observant with accuracy in scale. I collect only TRUE 1/64 and sometimes I don´t like to discover that my last purchase is 1/59 or 1/68 instead of the 1/64, but of course I agree there are bigger problems compare with this and our hobby is for our fun
