My favourite Tomica Limited Vintage Compilation from Jan 2018 till present
I just started collecting Tomica Limited Vintage (TLV) in late 2013 and I must say 2018 is actually the best year for TLV. Because their 1/64 line up are exciting such as the long awaited Tomicarama Accelerator 426 Diorama set, the FD3S RX-7 in Initial D theme, the legendary Mazda 787b as well as Hino heavy vehicle which sent me screaming. Although TLV retail retail price are on a higher side, it is worth every penny because it is a clone of the 1:1 in a miniature 1/64 scale. Highly detailed with functional parts for the heavy vehicle …
Understated Chase. M2 Machines Auto Japan 2 1971 Skyline
After my luck for finding a chase 1969 Nissan Bluebird 1600SSS for Auto Japan 1. I have almost forgotten I order a random M2 Machines Auto Japan series 2 case in hope for getting chase car which we all know the chances are slim. Hence the case arrived which I did an unboxing video in my YouTube channel. To my surprise i score a regular chase limited at 750 pieces again! Unlike the Datsun Bluebird regular chase with gold wheels, this 1971 Skyline come with a chrome deep green wheels which looks really hidden and can’t really differentiate betwe…
TLV with Hino HHH transporter & Mazda RX-7
Tomica Limited Vintage (TLV) keep making headlines for 2018 with their awesome releases especially on the Blue Collar Trucks. After the Hino Tractor head they have a wing trailer for May which literally blows me away! That’s not all. In August TLV is coming out with the mind blowing Hino HHH341 Heavy Equipment Transport Trailer! This is the mother of all trailer for the TLV truck series! The flatbed can even carry the standard Hino tractor head or multiples castings. This is even bigger than the heavyweight Hino transporter and god knows wha…
Hot Kustoms Review: Tomica Limited Vintage X LOG-ON Nissan GT R Nismo HK...
This is probably the 20th Nissan GT-R R35 Tomica Limited Vintage (TLV) has released but so far the second exclusive car. The first was 2017 Nismo GT-R TakaraTomy Mall web exclusive specially for the TLV version. The current one is the LOG-ON store exclusive which was announced by Tomica Hong Kong Fan page last month with pre-sale the LOG-ON page which was suprisingly sold out the day before the actual sales that we have to get from resellers. It is interesting that TakaraTomy has weighted on much on the Hong Kong market recently. There are a h…
Hot Kustoms Review: Tomica Limited Vintage TLV '97 Vs '99 Honda Civic T...
I can assume Feb, Mar and May for 2018 are the months I have to survive with cup noodles because it is a heavy month for Tomica Limited Vintage (TLV) releases. Apart from the Nostalgic Datsun series and the blue collar Hino trucks. The long awaited Honda Civic TypeR is on every collector wish list. I got the Civics in late Feb and I was more than impressed with the finishing and presentation of this castings. So perfect especially the iconic white TypeR which will looks very well with my Tomica Limited FD2 TypeR. However I was also very imp…

Hot Kustoms Review: Tomica Limited Vintage Honda Civic Type R
Finally the iconic Honda Civic TypeR has finally come to the Tomica Limited Vintage (TLV) Series. I was like a kid in a candy store while unboxing the pair of TypeR and it absolutely looks stunning! The white is of course the most iconic of the Honda TypeR. In fact the last time we see a TypeR with rubber wheels is the now retired FD2 TypeR for Tomica Limited (TL) series. In similar fashion to the TLV EK9 TypeR. They sport the same color and will definitely looks perfect as a pair which will comes to my channel soon!. I urge all TLV collecto…
Hot Kustoms Walk-Thru: Tomica Limited Vintage Toyota Crown Wagons
Yes we all love the Datsun / Nissan wagons but let’s not forget about Toyota. Tomica Limited Vintage (TLV) has faithfully produced these beautiful crown wagons in 1/64 glory true to its 1/1 counterpart. I’m looking forward to the Osaka Prefectural Crown Van Police which has just released as well. For now let’s do a short review for the ’73 Crown Van which were released on Jan. As usual they came in a pair with nostalgic lime green similar color to my fridge in the early 80s and light gunmetal gray color in my term. As usual the TLV packaging b…
Hot Kustoms Review: Hot Wheels Japan Historics 2 Vs TLV
After stirring lots of sensation and sizzle the Japanese Historics 2 Series is finally release. As I have mentioned this series give me a totally different feel unlike my past Car Culture purchases. It is actually more skewed towards a Tomica Limited Vintage (TLV) in a good way and at 1/3 of its price. It is a highly recommended series for all collectors. I really do hope that this series will make its way to retail stores worldwide including Singapore. The cars featured in this video are: • Hot Wheels Mazda RX-3 • Hot Wheels Nissan Fa…
Diecast browsing in Bangkok
During the 2017 December school holiday we organise a trip to Bangkok with majority of our family members. Personally it’s considered my first trip given that I have not been to Bangkok for 12 years. I am very happy during my stay in the land of smiles and catch up with my Thai buddy which I finally met in person. So much changes and development to the beautiful city with tons of attractions and most importantly safe. Unlike Japan I do not come with the intention of hunting diecast as the toys in Thailand are generally scarce and expensive com…
