It’s time to showcase the June Release from Tomica Limited Vintage, and among all the highlights is TLV’s first Calsonic R32. Let’s check it out. Find these at Japan Booster:
My son LOVES the Hot Wheels, but you've opened his world to the Tomica stuff. Awesome models! Great content as always! We really appreciated the salute to Ryu after he passed. Nice job!
I have such a great appreciation for TLV! They are unparalleled! I only have two in my collection. I typically get TLV for cars that I hold in very high regard. I have the Ferrari Daytona GT and the Honda NSX. I also have a non TLV Tomica Super Silhouette that my son brought from Japan for my collection.
i'm a 58 y/o Hot Wheels fanboy but having other models like Tomika vintage , Mini GT, Pop Race, Time models, since the Hot Wheels cases are more difficult to obtain cuz of pandemic i got some of all other brand to know them and talk about them.
The annoying thing about Tomica Limited Vintage for me is that Tomy has the distribution network in Canada to be able to get the regular Tomica cars into Walmart but they don't seem interested in getting TLV into bricks-and-mortar retail here. (I know some diecast specialty shops in Canada have TLV but I think they have to import it themselves.)
Keio Dentetsu Bus is a bus transport company based in and mainly serving Tokyo. They're not the main public transit company that provides service to Tokyo (that would be Toei Bus, run by the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation) but Keio runs a lot of expressway routes and some local routes.
(I guess) almost all TLV and TLVN are only for domestic markets, but sometimes they did few Hongkong Exclusive stuffs too. Damn, why just in JP and HK only…
For the calsonic skyline, I got it at: www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Limited-Vintage-LV-N234A-Calsonic-Finished/dp/B08SDF6MRD It is amazon japan, but they ship to the USA. At the time of the video, it is around $60 out the door. When I got it from the same link, it was $55 out the door. The prices on amazon japan always changes, so there’s a chance it will lower but it can also increase.
@@dankmemer2774 any TLVN (or anythings having Tomica brand) which “sold and deliveried by Amazon” will always THE BEST PRICE FOR You ! Get it beford Amazon or AmiAmi sold thems out there my man
@@kagurazakabg04 yeah I know. I only recently discovered amazon japan. Before, I bought my stuff from japan booster, and I notice that amazon japan is significantly cheaper. I also collect action figures from Bandai and I also notice that amazon japan have stuff for cheaper than US based online stores.
TLV is the best, but usually too expensive for US buyers. Some local distribution would help. I have some, but the 787b is just out of reach. Please, if you have any connections at TLV, please ask them to do a Ferrari 288 GTO!
I still dont quite understand why HW cars are so popular relative to other brands. Is HW great? Yes. But not as great as the market share and enthusiasm suggests.
Because the logo is cool that’s my theory and they are more collectible value wise compared to every other company. But they don’t make them like they use to unless you buy the premium cars in my opinion and I have been collecting and messing with 1:64 scale for more than 40 years
I thought it was because they are the easiest toy cars to get. In the US they are seen more then most other brands in normal stores like Wal Mart or Target.
They have a strong following and Matchbox was originally from England made by the Lesney Corp. Hot wheels were originally made in America then Hong Kong.
The problem with Hot wheels at this moment and maybe forever is that in order to keep them $1 they have gotten cheap on they way they build! Less detail and that is where I come in! I make them cooler than they do!
