We get these newer castings at our local Walmarts now, but before it was a rare event to find them locally. And for me there hasnt been any Corvettes in the mix to date!

Here is an F21 Corvette though, I actually remember seeing these hanging on the pegs at Sears stores back then.

I got this one back in 2015 though from another collector member.

Neat Walmart exclusive! Did you find it in stores? I had to buy mine on ebay.
Yes...it was in a Walmart store on a clearance shelf....I asked if they would be bringing in any more of the Tomica and the answer was No...
I would like to see more in store rather than Ebay...pricing there has got out of hand...especially shipping...
....although I still collect them, it has become rare to find/buy any for my collection. My Japanese seller has increased shipping to $31.50 a car.

Wow that's expensive! I see you are in Canada, check out Tokyo Station Canada maybe? They have a ebay and an online site.

Yes...only 2 years ago it was around $6.00 plus a dollar for each extra car....granted though they were not shipped in a box...just a heavy roll of cardboard around them.
They always arrived safely though..
I sometimes go to Tokyo Station for pickup or to order...bring your credit card ...lots of great stuff...!
