Those are insanely hard to come by, especially the yellow one with those type of wheels; I wish I had one! I only have the anniversary one worth about 6 dollars ; still an awesome car though. If you have any more tomicas with those type of wheels, I would very much so like to see them! Heck, any pic of any car will do :wave:

Yea, I've been told that the yellow Corona MK II is very very rare! I lucked into getting it by buying a LOT of different cars on e-bay. That is the only car I have with Tomica's first type wheels.

Here's some more of my collection.

That's awesome getting that car in a LOT! I would have freaked when I saw it. There is one on the Japan auction site and it's up to $720 right now.

I love those cars in those pics as well; I have the yellow Savanna, the orange Cherry, & the orange Honda with their box somewhere. I need to dig everything up and snap some more pics. I love the Sprinter & Corona 1700; those are hard to find as well; I'm hoping to find them with their box someday. That Civic Country & Nissan Sunny are sweet too.

I did freak when I saw the wheels! I thought it would be one of the first Hong Kong (in lieu of Japan) castings. It isn't though. Wow, $720? The lot I bought with that in it was under $20 !! :thumbsup:

Could you send me or add the link here to that Japan auction site?

I don't have that many with boxes. I haven't been too concerned with collecting the boxes with the car. But, if I do get the box too it's a bonus.

Some more of my collection

I must say that I am a cardboard collector. I have to have the box when I buy a Tomica, I love the colors & the car art, especially on the black boxes.

Sweet Fairladys, I've been looking for the brown one myself as well as the Silver Toyota 2000GT. I have that Celica too, one of my favorites, especially in green.

Yahoo Japan Auctions is a great place for pics, I love looking there just to see what is out there; sadly, 99.9% of the sellers will not ship to the US or internationally, though I have gotten lucky on there a couple times. Here is the link:

http://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/

I would post a link to the Yellow Corona to show you how high much people were paying for it, but it has already ended (I don't know how to check completed listings on there); it probably ended up going higher than $720.

Thanks for the link.

Very cool to see what's out there and what they are going for. I assume that the price is in Yen right? To convert to US dollars, you divide by 118.33 I think. I wish I could read what the auctions say.

I like the boxes too. I just don't like to pay the extra for them since it's the car that really want.

Show me more of your collection when you can.

 

[PENSNO1]

Yes, the price is in Yen; I usually divide by 117.00, as that's the round about exchange rate. You can use a translator to find out what the listings are about, but they are still hard to follow. Here is the link to the translator I use:

http://babelfish.altavista.com/

It's really easy to use, and it lets you know, kind of, what the auction is all about. As for the Yahoo Japan Auction site, make sure you type in 'Tomica' in the japanese form, and not the american form. If you type in 'Tomica' you will only get about 15 pages worth of results, but if you type in トミカ you will get about 600 pages of results.

I will try and take more pics of my collection soon and post pics. :wave:

Very cool! Thanks for that translator.

How do you type "ooo" ? (that's all I see)

Great pictures. Are those all made in Japan or China castings. Either way they are real nice!

Thanks
Rick

Great Midgets and Minis Max! Show some more of your collection. Us Tomica nuts love to see more!

Beautiful Taxi set PWCs. And the diarama is sweet too! :thumbsup:

 

[PENSNO1]

Very Very impressive Tomica collections Maxciim and Mrizki! You guys are in the same league as Tomylord and Roy N.

How about showing some Tomica Porsches?!

 

[PENSNO1]

Nice 911's maxciim! :thumbsup:

Here's my 928's.

 

[PENSNO1]

I only have 928 red int tan and orange tampo ADAC,
difficult to looking siver,red tampo silver Penso1?
and great 928 PENSO1! :thumbsup:

Thanks for the compliments guys!

maxciim,

I have never seen the silver 928 before or since, I won it on E-bay. I've been hunting the Tomica 928s for a couple years now. So it would appear that the silver one is very difficult to find.

I have had great collector friends help me acquire some of the others that were hard for me to find, like the Orange ADAC (from TOMYLORD) and the plain red one with the dark tan interior. (from CARSDOWNUNDER) :thumbsup:

 

[PENSNO1]

TERRY9911,
That looks like a great store to go to! I would love to have one of those stores in my neighbor hood.
What Tomicas did you buy from there?

Oh BTW, is that you looking in the window? :lol:
